    Was great being next door to you several times in the pits. I bet those otters ate all your fish too! Was weird seeing my car so many times on UA-cam. Great meeting you guys as always.

    I remember going on the first Drag Week in 2005 and the young man with the 62 Tempest rode in a car seat in the back of his Dad's yellow GTO. Time flies

    Cool Rally, cool decal. You guys have a nice car, that's one bad little Pontiac. I'm considering keeping my '72 Olds 350 cubic inch Cutlass Cpe., ala natural. Got to get it running, needs a carburetor, new tires and a few other things, probably take a few grand to get it toad worthy. Thanks for sharing your happy times.

    Great job of driving Olivia!
    Your car is running great! Low 13's is not bad at all!
    Some absolutely beautiful country in that area!
    So cool to see that River Otter!
    Hopefully Danny can hook a big one!
    Maybe try some Surf Perch fishing on the coast?
    I can't wait for the next one!
    Safe travels Guys!

    I messed up big time my second time to a track at age 18, and my dad was with me. I rolled a bit past the start line and backed up. The light hit green and I popped the clutch and my chest hit the steering wheel. I hit the brake just in time to get stopped before hitting the car waiting behind me. The guys eyes were as big as a baseball! My dad brought that up at every gathering for the rest of his life... 😧 😎

    That 65 GTO is beautiful it's the perfect color I had a friend that had a 67 camaro that color and also a friend I worked with at the chevy dealership that had a 68 nova that color if I ever get my hands on a nova camaro or a chevelle I will paint it that color. I really want a 66 or 67 chevelle that color for along time now.

    That looks awesome Rocky Mountain Race Week has awesome scenery too going through the Rocky mountains and Sick Week too has cool stops in Florida like Big Daddy Don Garlits drag racing museum and National parts Depot amazing car collection and that race happens in February when the rest of the east coast and many other places are freezing cold and with snow. Those are two awesome drag and drive events that you gotta check out

    Buddy with the 70 Chevelle that has a diesal engine in it does lot's of Drag and Drive Events I have seen him at RMRW and Sick Week. Looks like he got a paint job since the last time I saw it unless it's not the same guy but I doubt there are two 1970 Chevelle around with Duramax Diesels. It was silver when I saw it last. I think it was Sick Week 2021 I think.

    Many of those trucks come with big blocks. My uncle has a 1971 GMC truck that came factory with a 454. Many of the early 70's 2500 and 3500, 4x4 and suburban trucks came with big blocks from the factory because they were great towing engines and for offroad. I bet that big block is from the factory.

    You were rolling through the water, should have done a burnout, then tighten up the shocks to control hop, but you most likely Will get less 60ft. Times hooking if it has a tighter converter. Next track stop do a burnout.
