Congrats to Rusty

I would like to congratulate Rusty for going from his wrecked 89 Maroon GTA to his newly acquired Red 89 GTA in less than a week. He swapped the necessaries over and we went for a test run on Saturday, which was quite an experience, because I have never ridden in a car without seats. Much less one that is going sideways with me sliding around on the floor board

Sweet! Congrats Rusty That red GTA was very nice. How does it feel? I bet with the better gearing you get some nice low end.

The other car was already too wounded from the prior owners t-bone accident to repair properly. I'm glad it was put out of its misery and he has moved on to a better car. Now he can swap the headlight repair kit to the new car.

"He swapped the necessaries over and we went for a test run on Saturday..." Funny, I would have THOUGHT that a front seat was a "necessary".

Thanks Randy. Yeah Lon they work beautifly in my need Red-Dragon. I will be showing her off at the track on the 29th to see if my new gears and suspension will get me a little lower in the 13's. I want to run a 13.6 before I put on the tpis base, Lingenfelter runners , ported plenum and 52mm tb. I know once I do that the chip is gonna be the next change. So 12's are not far off. Its gonna be interesting come September with the shootout
