    What a joke!!!

    Looks like " two guys " should quit stroking there garage and work on there cars!!! Or at least find some cars that run-- Lookers aren't everything.
    My car may not have the show car glass finish - Butt :moonu: I know mine and a whole lotta other pure stockers that would nock'em in the dirt!!! :beer :3gears: :moonu:

    That's almost as bad as that supercar shootout in some magazine lately with a yenko running 15- and 14's popping and snapping all the way down the track. Good thing they let them run slicks.... :Dou: If you can't work on them don't run them !!!!!

    Peter Klutt is the reason why I don't watch that program at all. I have a good buddy who vintage road races in events alongside Klutt. Quite a few stories of Mr. Prima Donna Klutt and his behavior at those events. Not to mention his inablility to drive a car quickly in a straight line. Maybe he should take some hot-shoe lessons from Bruno. A 1/2 second slower in the same car with Klutt behind the wheel?? :error:

    Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!

    Frank, maybe the 60 mph headwind had something to do with the slower times? :rolleyes:

    I really enjoyed the show,and thought that Klute did a pretty good job of shoeing them.Its funny on some of the other websites,they were criticizing the soft launch,they were thinking he should dump the clutch at 4000 :Dou: I would be surprized if Brunos car did not run a better et,and mph,but they just did not say it to keep it semi close.I dont think they showed the et,s on the tower.Mean head wind also,good tv :TU:

    they didn't use the staging lights and tower scoring, they used telemetry from a sponsor company.......

    Hey Tim I picked up the bi Monthly issue of Muscle Car Review and there was a picture of you in your Chevelle and Brian in the 58 at the line. At least I think it was yours it is on the 2nd or 3rd page near the index not sure if you have gotten that mag yet.. It has a yellow 69 road runner on the cover.

    Update oops was Mark Barkers Chevelle sorry :(

    I don't wanna make excuses for any of the cars, but...the lead-in about tuning all the cars and mounting new tires isn't exactly correct...I know a couple cars never had a wrench turned on them and were ran on their NOS [read: "30+ years old"] tires, and the promised set of tires arrived back at home with the cars still wrapped in their plastic... :Dou:

    And I still don't know what a burnout contest proves, especially with someone else's car(s)... :Do No:

    I think it proves there is one driving skill that has not eluded Peter :)
