SHEOOOOOOOOT
my friend has a bonneville and is a member of a bonneville club, and asked me if i could help him out with a meet he was throwing, to help with tech stuff. well on sat we all went to the byron dragstrip, and i hit some best times (still stock 98 lsc)
first run was a HOT LAP my wife was driving the car home from work and i was waiting at the track and when she pulled up i pulled it onto the track, so that was a crappy time of 16.3 :yuck: after a 1 hour cool down i hit a personal best against a "rough" tbird, who kept throwing out excuses, "i advanced the timing 3* so im gonna back it out" but i didnt see a tuner and it was a 4.6 so im calling BS, and my fav "i got 3 junk speaker boxes in the trunk" how about the ghetto box hooked up in the back seat
