Re: Car Craft

Well I seen quite a few third gens, a majority of them were camaros... but then again I didn't make it through the whole park Quite amazed at some of those cars that were dyno'd, 1000+ hp

I attended the burnout contest, lol, I don't know what happened with that ford truck they ran as the very first car.......

I was in the burnout contest on saturday.if your referring to the Bronco that was first on saturday, that guy is a big time red neck.he couldn't do a burnout on a sandy ice covered lake in january.I hear he did break his drive shaft though.in the burnout contest I was the 3rd car,an 86 Trans Am silver.def a fun wkend. I also saw more 3rd gens there than years past which is a good sign.

Re: Car Craft

maybe I'll have to bring mine there next year, I don't like the $45 to bring in a car though.

I wish I coulda stayed longer to see the burnout competition, but I got a ride with my friend and they had to leave earlier.
