I just took off the Polyglas tires and put on some other wheels and tires because I'm thinking of draging the T/A to see what it will do. In fact, I want to go up against FY1TA's restored black AAR. Does anyone think yay or nay to racing real Trans Am cars that are very nicely restored? That's only if he has it in him to do it of course.

I ran my numbers motor/tranny V code 4 speed Bird about 15 times for Pure Stock before the rear u joint went out a mile from the track driving it to the races on Saturday AM. This was from test/tune Wednesday night before.

Some cool pics of some nice cars! I'm surprised. I really thought this would be more taboo. It's good to see! Still no word from FY1TA though.

That's almost laughable . The AAR has had quite a few floggings on the 1320 . Get you some M/T drag radials and we will see who can really drive a stick car at the dragstrip !
