[Shotimes] OT - GM 60's BB / SB lust

[James White]

Maybe he will be old enough to drive it at the next convention in Wisconsin?

There is nothing like taking a car like this to a drag strip where the
likelyhood of anybody being hurt is nil.  And this will teach him respect
for the machine.

My Molly took our '93 MTX to the drags at the Atlanta Convention when she
was 18.  If her dad hadn't choosen the wrong dial-in ET, she would have done
really well. Her reaction time was very good and her ET with the old SHO was
consistant.  But stupid me, I dialed in a ET that was too high.  Oh well,
such is the world of drag racing...

And, BTW, you can't spend too much time teaching your children how to drive
well.

'93  5 SPEED   276k few mods
'95  5 SPEED   226k lots of mods
"double clutch"  it's good for both you and your SHO
