Supper Chevy Shootout

Are you all talking about the 3 car racing between Jim Carniato's & Jim Comeau's 55 gasser, Gordon Marks 64 Biscayne & Jim Richardson's 61 Impala conv. down in Florida thats in the April copy of Super Chevy.

I just picked-up my copy at my local car mgazine store today (2/13/08).

I'll keep my lips sealed for now.:D :D :D :D :D

I'm glad to see that we made it into the magazine okay.:beerbang There wasn't enough cars to do a proper shootout but we still had a fun day at the track. Too bad my transmission started to slip because Gordon and I were running similar times. Gordon's car looks and sounds great going down the track. It has a stock stroke 409 and it sounds like he shifts it at about 8,000rpm.:beerbang The car really hooks too (see picture) and the weird thing is his slicks are designed to work without any burnout. Jim's 61 had never been to the track before, and as far as I know it never gets driven hard at all. Check out the carbon coming out of the tailpipes on the first pass.:beerbang But it also looked and sounded good going up the track. I thought it did really good running in the 14's with those skinny little tires.
