Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and drag week, I've been following new posts for the last year and thought I'd join and introduce myself. Last year was my first year spectating US 131 dragway in Martin Michigan. This year my father and I have pulled our 1968 Pontiac Gto out of storage in hope to compete this year and luckily after a stressful 6 mins we got our conformation. Lol. We are currently working on a new motor (461) and set up for the car. I plan on sharing my experiences with the build and the week itself. Super excited and also super green so any advice is always welcome

Good looking Pontiac.
My advice is to be driving the car by july, then work the bugs out. by driving, I mean both down the drag strip, and longish road trips. If you want specific suggestions, give more detail about the build

Hoping to be in the 600hp range4 Photos
