Don, the car you have at PMR for up dates,is it the car that Tom had for sale? If so did Andre Mailoux build this car ?
Thanks

Don Kennedy · 10-17-2009, 01:26 PM

Yes This is Tom's car > Phil Mandella Race cars In Montclair ,CA is doing some personal work on the car that to make sure all is well Plus I wanted Lamb brakes , Lamb struts and a "old Mans" Shifter LOL at me , Plus squeezing in the Old Pontiac engine of Mine in This small car

. Phil and Tony Plus crew are also doing some updates to the car to Phils Specs especially since he build the Quickest GT/AA Sunfire of Franks "Ice In Veins" Grossi car .

My car has a cool grahics on the car but when it was painted I suspect the wind was blowing

LOL I have been in Cold Minnosota the last three days not sure where the car is at but knowing Phil and Tony it is most likely right on schedule.

No Wonder My Good friend Larry DeForest and his Young son are coming to Vegas . Larry are you sure Your Son is old enought to drive The last time i can remember he was a very young kid , or maybe You are getting older and trying to catch up to me .Any way it was cold in Minn .

Just saw where another Heavy Hitter Gary Richard of P.C. Richard & Son is entered in GT/AA Holy Cow a "Rookie " like me is Out numbered by The veterans in GT/AA Just happy to be there for class and " The party" Speaking o the party there just might be another recount on "the vote" on who will be voted in to buy lunch or dinner LOL at anyone from Florida.

Well doesnt everyone know that a small block doesnt get its HP with cubic inches? That is why comp is mostly small motors as most people cant compete with the tinker toy bottom end. If cubic inches was where it was at, everyone in comp would be running 500 cu inches.

Franks combo was derated due to only having 220 intake runner ccs. The earlier motor had about 30 more, and you all know those big motors need ccs to make the big power. Otherwise they run out of breath. I did find it funny that Don and I were rated 325HP the same as the BBC with less compression, inline valves instead of splayed valves, smaller bore, and only 188 intake runner ccs. Talking about a big motor running out of breath!

That is why the SBC also run so good. They actually have more cc's from the NHRA cc fairy than what they actually need! Damn I wonder how fast the Pontiacs would be if they had that luxury? I would say I would make at least 100 more dyno HP.

Just thought I would point out some interesting facts, GTAA is way cool.

Alex, do those new Fords actually have Blowers? Or are they just like my high school girl friend where I kept telling her that blow was just an expression? Wait till we build our blown GTAA Pontiac engine!

It seems that Stacy McCarty is coming to Vegas to bracket race in GT/AA It will take about 40 or so cups of coffee to get him here last time he set the record in the most coffee drank while getting to a race

. Now we have a lot a few cars from East of Arizona which is good .

let the Fun Began . The first meeting will be the first round of Class then we will all decide if there will be a bye , In order to be fair I think the oldest person , and a rookie in this class , with a never ran before car should get the bye , just thinking out loud > LOL

Latest Update on my new car needs a different drive line and I had to convince Phil and Tony at PMR Race Cars to set the rev limiter at 7000 rpms . LOL We did put a street gear in the car in case it has no power and won't run to drive it on the streets as we use the race car to pull out palm trees during the off season in the summer here in Arizona. LOL

Since no one fits the required qualifications to get a bye first round in GT/AA I have made a decision on first Round we will ladder the whole deal like it should be so now everyone can have some fun shutting off or all out your call . The First round of Class will count for the number one qualifier in GT/AA , just like NHRA does . Any one who in GT/AA has a problem with this e-mail me with a reason that you don't want to ladder ?
