The 2009 GT/AA Calss Shoot Out at Vegas

Don Kennedy · 10-06-2009, 09:09 PM

The next Step LOL at me

Current Entries in GT/AA:

709 Doug Broadus Chevy 454 97 Pontiac Firebird=== ==430 HP @ 3610 weight
6898 Casey Setters Chevy 400 05 Chevy Caverlier==== 324 HP @ 2762 weight
7056 Frank Grossi GM 454 05 Pontiac Sunfire==== === 341 HP @ 2890 weight
7701 Don Kennedy Pontiac 455 05 Pontiac Sunfire===== 325 hp @ 2770 weight
6015 Tom Nolan Chevy 350 09 Pontiac G5======= ====325 HP @ 2770 weight
6396 Sean Cour Chevy 350 09 Colbalt============== 325 HP @ 2770 weight

Doug is the heavy hitter and has the Most Muscles Get it heavy hitter look at his weight of car lol

Casey Setters is most likely the Youngest and smiles a lot , hey he knows something we don't ???

Frank and Don are the oldest and we know the most but some times we forget where we filed what we know somwhere ( Phil Mandella and Tony Mandella of PMR race cars Knows where for sure )

Tom is "Mr Cool" and lives in Canada ( get it everyone )

Sean is Mr serious and lives up north he paints very well with crayons when he was younger .

ok everyone laugh , we will be here having fun

By the way where is Colin? and will Stacy McCarty show up if he can find a trailer to haul his old Pontiac >

Gary Richard of PC Richards group will be having a huge Party back east of course all needs to buy from them to pay for "The party" for being in business all these years >

Will Jim De Frank put one of his cars in GT/AA ? is a good question .
and now the final question after all the GT?AA racing where will the party be?

Hey Don...Stacy here. I hope I'm doin this right, its my first post.

I'm tryin like heck to make it, I broke a rocker arm at the 1000' at Indy and tagged valves. This was easy to fix but we had a temporary stock crank in the motor just to run the race. It developed cracks on 10 dyno pulls and 4 runs, the bearings were perfect!!!! The crank was 1963 421 cast crank and we didnt have time for hardening. waiting on crank from california should have next week...if lucky.

Cameron talked with Colin, I dont think he's coming. Isnt that car cool with the new pieces on it?

Is anyone coming thru Indy that I could get share transport with? If you know anyone please contact me.

Don Kennedy · 10-08-2009, 11:51 PM

Anyone want a ride Buy Frank Grossi Sunfire and most likely be the number one qualifier in GT/AA

.

Don Kennedy · 10-13-2009, 09:52 PM

Ok an Update

Phil and Tony Mandella of PMR Race Cars in Montclair, California have their whole crew working day and night on my 2005 Sunfire to make sure the car will "Go Right Down Broadway" They have made some really cool mondifications to this car and I hope My Gary McGlasson engine will show up at Vegas . Gary has been working very hard to make sure some issues have been over come.

So we will be at Vegas Tired , Happy and Broke to just see if this combination can even run with My friends Frank ( Ice in Veins) Grossi ( by the way Phil Mandella build Franks car and maintains it also but Tony Mandella likes us better LOL ( Phils Son ), Tom Nolan , The newer kid on the block with a tried and proven combination, Doug Broaddus, Cour , and Casey Setters , darn all these heavy hitters scare me I think lol . if we get there i will be one happy racer just to show up LOL at me ?

Ok Colin bring the wife and Kids we will make sure you all have some fun , we need a token Ford , lol at me again

> i know Gary Richards You are having a party , change the party to Vegas , we will all be there ?/

The next question Will the other Pontiac Racer Lynn's McCarty brother i for got his name ok it is Stacy will show up unless he is 'scared' he needs another way to get the Old pontiac Out here sharing gas Money to get here ,

oK i am really sure the roads are clear towards the west , and if you have a GT/.AA car show up , then the fun will begin , after all Fank went East I know i saw Frank with my daughter Kati, and (Tom Van Poppel grand TJ is his grand son also)and our Grand son TJ ( we even had some war paint on our cheeks which i got in trouble with Kati and Brian hey TJ and i had a lot of fun ) with my Awesome Son in law Brian Van Poppel watching >

FYI My Trans Am race car is Going over the ocean to a Another Pontac racer of which when the time is right we will let all know where >

Just wondering what will happen IF a Ford racer builds an early 67-72 Mustang with one of those blown 2008 Mustang engine combos for SS/GTA or A automatic???? A combo like that would most likely obsolete any current combo until the AHFS caught up with it.

LOL....No but Im always thinking out different combos. I think this would be a killer combo especially when someone really takes the time and money to BUILD a real race engine out of one.
