We have managed to do it this year again with our 72 Buick GS"X" We finished 3th place in the Dutch Street Modified Championship, and also 3th place in the EDRS (European Dragracing Series) also in the Street Modified class.
Tnx Jim! And the Grill arrived! I picked it up a couple of days ago. Very nice, tnx again! Will shot you a picture when it is in the car, have to fabricated a bracket for the center support, cause the orginal one is out the car, due to room problems for the big trans cooler.
Good job man. You always represent buick well. Any new vids to share? And what's your plan with the hood? Adding a stage 2 scoop to the gs hood or going cowl?
Tnx! And yes the paint scheme is really nice and complements the car. It was done in Florida when the car was with the former owner, I own the car since 2004 and have been racing it since, and driving around town with it. ---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ---------- Tnx! I have a couple of vids made by others to compile and put my youtube site, I will post them before x-mas! :Brow: I have a new VFN Stage 2 scoop in the box, that is going on the car this winter, and with the new iron GS Grill it will make for a "new" look. I really like the cowlhood thats being made by a boardmember here, but with my highrise manifold I do not think that one will fit. So the Stage 2 scoop will go on. ---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ---------- Tnx! Big John! My car is a heavy car, but at these non prepped Street Legal Drags races, most of the time that is a advantage and it keeps the car very consitent. ---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ---------- Tnx JW! Do you have any new engine mods to share, so we can make this thing go a little faster, just need 50-75HP more to keep it in the high 10s all the time at these tracks. ---------- Post added at 09:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ---------- Hello JR! Tnx! I could not have done it with out our Dutch/Texas humor! In fact I needed a lot of Laughing quotes to keep the " enemy drivers" at bay! hahaha:TU: ---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ---------- Tnx Royden! How is your 555 coming along? ---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 AM ---------- This is a short video with behind the start footage, made by someone in the public. You will see different cars make there burnout and do there run, our car is one of them.

Way to carry the Buick Banner, Opa. Merry Christmas too, from Oma n Opa here. Hope St.Nicholas and Zwarte Piet are good to you & your loved ones.
Dank je wel Opa en Oma! Sinterklaas en Zwarte Piet, waren weer aardig dit jaar voor mij! Een zalig en gelukkig kerstfeest voor jou en je familie toegewenst en ook alvast de beste wensen voor 2014
Way to go Robert, you had a big fan in the audience: Please don't mention Zwarte Piet anymore, in the past weeks there's been a riot about him: Click here to read more :Comp:
Yes I know Erik, from that Big Fan I got this video he took with his IPHONE. You can also hear the disappointment when the Black 555CID Chevelle (900HP) only drove a 12 second run.... That car made a couple of much better run later on, but if I remember right he damaged his car I guess due to overrevving and playing with the No2 to much, on a track where this Big Tire car didn't not have a lot of traction.
You mean Tom's car? I heard that he's selling it. It was a huge improvement over the pick-up truck. Now I wonder what he will buy next.... o No:
Yes Tom his car, he has bought a Funny car from an female UK driver. He wanted a Pro Mod but thats out this team experience and budget. So he has now 2 race cars, the Chevelle he is selling for 35K. You can read it here: http://autosport.nl/dragracing/klasse/nieuws/20910/tom-van-der-wijden-verrast-met-dodge-funny-car and here the specs: http://www.stepaside.nl/index.php/funnycar/specificaties-chevelle-dragracer
Congrats and way to go Robert. I am happy you are showing the trishield Down there. My Christmas present was picked up in Rotterdam today.
Tnx! And nice looking 71 race car!, It looks somewhat high up front, is there an engine in there? Or is it really lite upfront due to the glassfiber bumper, hood? Or has it front trick springs? Are you coming over to Holland some time so we can race together? What ET times are you hoping for? Greetz Robert
The car already visited the Netherlands, so now it's your turn to make a trip to Denmark :laugh: More info about Jan's Skylark: Click here :Comp:
