I'll be glad to try to dismantle any one of them...as long as they get certified.
Randy Miller was not asked to not bring his Yenko back. Dan did suggest that his kind of car was not the type of car they were trying to attract. His NHRA cam was a little on the lumpy side and his mufflers were a little loud. Randy, being the gentleman he is, decided on his own not to bring the Camaro and bring the LS-6 instead.It was dropped after that. No name calling, no tempers, just "ok. if thats what you want". A true gentleman, just like all supercar owners eh!
Peter

Thanks for the info, Pete. I went back and checked some of my emails from Dan a while back, and he said something about the kind of mufflers they would rather have, and he stated some examples. I kind of figured it must not have been too big of a deal, as Randy was back next year with that SWEET LS-6 (hasn't he owned it since new?) and he spoke real highly of the event. I wish he had been there last year...must have been busy at work or something.

Ditto on the Buick certification thing...but I wouldn't hold your breath .

I'm not sure if he visits the GSCA site or not. We have this Chevy vs Buick debate everytime MCR prints the Pure Stock Drag issue. He claims "his" Buicks are "stock" and we argue about that all the time.

We finally decided that a if certified stock Chevy goes againist a certified Buick that the results may end the debate. However, It is my opinion that there will not be too many certified GSs and GSXs there.

Pete, I agree as long as they get certified.

Pete;
I believe Neal will not bring his '68 L89 car back, Brewer's 'stock appearing' car kind of puts a damper on things.

As for Randy's car, you are correct. Pure Stock noticed the front springs, mufflers, cheetah shifter, cam, and his 12.0 times at the NMCA events and made some suggestions towards bringing the LS6 car. Randy's a cool guy, and lucky for him has a rare car set up for each event! It was cool to see the HO COPO a/t and the HO Yenko a/t go down the track, I videotaped it.

M:

So, any chance of me FINALLY meeting you in person this year...like at the Reunion or the PSMCDR? Will Neal be bringing anything to PSMCDR? I think I met him n '99(?), but I didn't realize who it was until AFTER the event, and you said something about his car! Wish I would have known!!

Pete:

Seems like I remember you saying you WOULD NOT be in Ohio this year? I have thought about going IF we have the Camaro back together, but I would rather support Bob/Dan's event FULLY, as it was kind of his "brainchild" in the first place. I guess I will see you at certification, though! What day will you be there?

Rob;
I was just talking with my wife last night about the various long distance car events this summer. I would like to go to all of them of course, but vacation time is always limited. My first priority is to finish my car, after 5.5 years I am getting anxious.

I would like to go to the NNNova Nationals in Indy this summer, because that is where my car was sold new and my original owner might attend as well. I would like to finally get to the Yenko Reunion, and make another visit to the Pure Stock drags. Without a truck and trailer, these events are going to be difficult!! I might borrow some frequent flyer miles in order to attend the reunion, but we will see how things progress throughout the summer.

Marlin; Glad to hear you vidiotaped that race. It's one of the few times I've ever managed to stay in front of Randy's car. Glad it's documented. Please find out if Neil is coming as it will make a considerable difference as to how much beer I need to bring!
As far as me being in Ohio. I will most definitly be there unless something stupid happens. There are too few of these events and I intend to support all of them I can. I think Brad is trying to put on a top notch event and will. It may take him a few years to know exactly what he wants but I'm confident he'll get it all figured out.
