Don Kennedy · 09-27-2009, 10:09 PM

The 2009 GT/AA Class Shoot Out at Vegas in October . Can anyone defeat The West Coast Heavy Hitter with his Big Block Sunfire Frank "Mr. Ice in Veins " Grossi. Frank won Class last year at Vegas and also won Class at Indy this year . Will anyone be here to challenge Frank or will he win again is a good question ? Rumor has it Phil Mandella is working double over time on Sunfire to keep the money in the West [IMG]

[/IMG]

let me know I will be doing the extra purse for this class again if I have some time . 100 % of the prizes or money will be divided among the Winner ,The runner up ,and number one qualifier per NHRA’s Structure ,.

By the way Frank last year paid for all the racers in GT/AA and crew a huge Steak dinner after the class race which cost a lot for around 30 or so racers especially with drinks lol . The Purse and prizes were really neat that a lot business put up and were really appreciated by the racers big time . So please if a person puts up some Money thank them , if a business puts up some money or prizes do business with them that way everyone wins > It would be cool if a person or business could come up with some tow money for those who live far , far away Let The Fun begin at The 2009 GT/AA Class Shoot Out at Vegas> questions e-mail me donkennedy1@cox.net

Don ~ I don't know where Frank took everyone to dinner last year. I'm assuming it was a restaurant? For Mopars at the Strip we had a dinner catered in our pits. They did a pulled pork, lots of sides. It was really good. Mandella might know who the caterer was. Have fun, this is a cool thing you guys in the class are doing!!

Great Efforts at supporting Class racing. Does anyone else have the same Combo to run against Mr. Grossi? Thats when it will become interesting. Good Luck.

Dick :

By the way Frank had to put in135 lbs of weight last year last due to the factoring , so he showed up in Indy 135 heavier than in Vegas , Come on out GT/AA racers the Fun is in Las Vegas when you can let the car hang out at a altitude track without getting factored , remember what goes on in Vegas stays in Vegas . The weather will be great and the Women have the biggest eyes ever

LOL Can the East Coast racers come and and take the heavy hitter Frank Grossi down is the question ? or will the Faster GT/AA car stil rein as the best on the East Coast and the West Coast , hey to me any part of the US east of Texas is east to me LOL at me ? I do know Phil Mandella is working hard as usual on a Sunfire

It would be cool if we could get a major Sponsor for the Vegas race ? anyone know of a person or company do do this ? By the way Frank paid for the steak dinner for the racers at Weaverlys . Big time pricey a class act for sure from Frank

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 .
