Good story about former Buick stock eliminator world champ Jason Line in 6-11 National Dragster.Nice picture of his 71 E/SA GS too.
I met Jason many years back at a VERY small dragstrip in Northern MN, Keewatin to be exact. He and his brother were there testing an engine they had built. They had dropped it in their Mustang and were running passes to get everything dialed before it went back to the owner. My brother and I were there with our Buicks and were having problems with the quadrajet on my brother Brian's '72 GS convertible. Jason asked if he could help and jumped right in and had the top off that quadrajet checking everything out for us. One very nice guy!! We ended up having him rebuild the carb and it performed flawlessly for many years! We talked a few times after that and Jason was going to build me a 350 for my California. He and his family have a shop in Wright Minnesota, Line Performance. Every member of that family had a drag car. The dad drove a Monte Carlo, brother Lance drove a Mustang, don't remember what the mom and sister were driving but they had cars as well. Only problem was Joe Gibbs hired Jason to do all their dyno work for their NASCAR team weeks before I dropped my engine off. Aaahhhhhh!!!! The family still has the shop, but works mostly on Fords and Chevys. Jason was/is a true Buick guru, he really knows how to make them fly!!
I met Jason a the last national event here in Houston. Great guy, and he came in second (behind the boss)
