  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Thumper was #1 for me. As someone else said, Gary's car made quite an impression on a 16 year old who liked Buicks. Back then, that was the only Buick race car I ever remember seeing in Northeast Ohio, but I didn't get around much. Nevertheless, back then, there were few Buick guys around, and even less who knew how to make em run.

    Next would be a sweet yellow '69(?) 350, Tweety Bird. That thing flat "git it", for a 350.

    And more in the "modern era" is John Stevens' 455 Regal. A bit old school in a 1980's sort of way. Wheelies and dead-on dial-ins.

    For ALL OUT BADASS it has to be Bobb Makleys car, for just the cool factor and great attention to detail, there are 2 for me, Steve Reynolds GSX race car and Gary Kubish's Black car, Both are so tastefully done you can look at them for hours.
