third gen event at Da' GRove

i say a bunch of us should get together and have a huge third gen meet at union grove next season. we can arrange it with the track so they can put it on their schedule and get alot of attention that us third geners deserve.


this is my car, my best is a 15.4 with exhaust
hopefully it will be runnin 12's with the 383 im gonna build.

If the date is right I would be interested... Like a few others said, putting it on Chitownracing.com is also a good idea.

Thats pretty fast.There is at least one car in Oshkosh running 8.40s in a big block 70 nova with a ton of juice.Have you ever seen the bumper draging 70 nova in Greenbay?I believe its still in primer and he is generally refered to as the Greenbay madman at RSD's.I'm not sure what he runs but it has to be one of the faster cars in GB.
