Indy Nats
Went to Indy today to watch some Stock and SuperStock(the stuff dreams are made of) hehe.... Bryan Phillips, Todd Hoven and Lynn Smith(i think) all in 67-68 Birds ran great today...all in E/Stock...runnin in 10.70s to low 10.80s... awesome stuff... And the McCarty Brothers cars layin down some good numbers... i think the Grand Am went 9.40s
... correct me if im wrong.. it made a heck of a pass... the Black bird not quite as fast, but still flew.. in the higher 9s i believe... Lots of POntiacs representing today... Ken Shawver's 77 or 78 Trans Am went 10.54... 6x 400! Lots of other pontiacs too... RInker 74 GTO 350 went 11.20s in SuperSTock...may have went a little quicker... I had a good day and was inspired to the max! Just thought i'd pass on some info!! Albeit, not 100% accurate

Who was the woman driving the white '67 H.O. Bird in E/SA? she ran 10.80 i believe.... apparently i shouldve wrote some #s down... i was a little off in my post... McCarty's Grand Am was unbelievable... SHawvers car ran 10,53,,, does he even drive anymore? WHat happened to his T-37 he used to run in E/SA? I loved that car! Saw it run alot in the 80's... I had the pleasure to meet and talk with Bryan Phillips... great guy... as are alot of the Stock/Super Stock guys... im workin on bein one of them! Im gonna start on my E/SA combo next year... maybe this winter if finances permit...
