New PB....11.13@121+...Stock Appearing !!!

Well my buddy Dave and I decided to take the ole' girl out one more time before year's end to see if we could beat our best ET and MPH numbers. Well.... I'm happy to say that we did accomplish both :laugh: Next year I guess we will be shooting for the 10's....Stock Appearing of course :Brow:

 

Good job guys! Hard work pays off.

 

Nice job Steve and Dave! Looks like you guys have some more tricks up your sleeves. That's a solid 3-4 tenths from Salem, right? I'd love to see it run in the 10's - it might have if you had brought it to Cecil County, MD a couple of weeks ago. The car looks beautiful as always. Keep up the good work!

 

Great work Guys, what a way to end the season! now you have to work harder for next year!

Mind if I ask you a little about your combo and setup?

 

Steve tell your father I can see that you are a chip off the old block.

 

Steve,
Great job! Car looks outstanding as always. A nice Cool November day will do the trick!

Steve that is awesome! I knew the car was a sleeper but had no idea the car was that fast! I'll need to make sure I'm behind you in the staging lanes and not beside you!! My Dad just loves your car, he still wears the T-shirt he bought at the GS Nats a couple of years ago that has your car on it.

 

Very impressive! I'd say you did it the hard way too...stock exhaust manifolds and all!

 

I like post cars, nice job.

 

Great job Steve! Like they said, yours is one of my favorite Buicks.

What's this "end of year" talk??? We're just starting good racing weather down here in Florida! :laugh: :bglasses:
