Billy,
What's the difference between this car and the Grand Prix you ran in T/SA in the past ?

It was great meeting the legendary Billy Saturday I should say.
1K sending home 100k was awesome. I got to post some pics from the event. Integrity was priceless. Just thought of the bad news bears final scene when the bear tells the yankees what to do w that trophy, lololol. Chris O'Keefe. Billy knew exactly who I was when I walked up to shake his hand, really. |

I had a pretty nice time this weekend. I got to catch up with some dear, old friends and I got to bust everybody elses biscuits. Ya just know you're going to have a good day when you stop and put $82 worth of gas in the old truck and the girl at the register tells you that you qualify for a FREE $1.59 COFFEE! For you Hemi, CJ and COPO guys, coffee is what your lattes, frappes and espressos start out as. Kinda like how crude oil winds up as synthetic race fuel, but back to the subject.
After getting to the track, i got unloaded and went to Tech and my first Q run. The first Tech(no names mentioned) guy checks out the car, the second Tech guy comes over, the third Tech guy rides up on a cart, they talk, the second Tech guy comes back over and, shuffling his feet says,"Billy, one of the COPO guys complained about the holes in your car. He said that your car is destroying the integrity of the sport". They let me make my first Q and after the run, young Gary Simpers and I went about getting the car some "integrity". Ya know, I didn't see Jack all day. Oh well, being a roving reporter probably makes for a busy day. On a lighter note, I think that the 1K car is now the "Worlds Fastest 2V 301 Pontiac"! That and $82 worth of gas will get you a free cup of coffee but I'll take whatever I can get. I still am having carb problems but I'm getting it better. It's now to the point where it has a ".02 something light and goes fairly fast" stumble and a ".08 light and a tenth slower" stumble. At least now if I hit the tree in the same place I've got a 50% chance of being right. But one way or the other, it's consistent! I'll try and get some pics and post the rest of my weekend adventures later.

Ken was way overdue to win one of these things and it hurts a little less when you lose to the winner.
