I don't know how to post pics here but the ND gave me a nice write up on my 63 Tempest. It was a t the Southern Nationals where I went 4 rounds until my -.002 red light against Rampy. They found it very interesting that the car was all Pontiac.

Congratulations. I have watched S/Gas many times at the Gatornationals and the competition is always razor close. Don't know how you guys do it. Would like to have seen your 63 make some passes.

Wow! I look forward to seeing my ND when I get back to Tucson. Great to see a Pontiac and, especially, another '63 Tempest get such a nice write-up.
