    Unless this is some real funky light reflection on a GS, I'd swear I'm looking at a Holden. What the heck?

    looks too big for a Monaro. They were smaller than the A bodies.

    Uh...Dan
    I think you are looking at Greg Gesslers Black GS.
    I'll scan my pics from the nats and see if I have that same shot.

    EDIT: not GeSslers, he's got a vinyl top.

    Bruce Hunter's car! Either that, or the other 71 GS window rattler that was there...

    I don't know who owens the Black GS, but that looks like John Osborne standing in front of it, behind his '71 Bittersweet Mist GS with his wife. John ran in the Pro Class.

    The question should be: what's the weird looking blue car in lane 5.
    Anyone not at the event care to guess?

    Looks like a Jag to me.

    Bick Block Powered XJS.
    Beats the HECK out of the average Chebby conversion.

    Yeah, most people expect it to be Chevy powered. Being Buick powered seems to boggle peoples minds even more. It is always the only Jag at the track....and at a non-Buick event it is quite often the only Buick 455 powered car.
    Doubly odd!

    One guy yesterday asked what it ran and I said it just went a 32 and he said 11 right? It was fun to come back with 10.32.
    And he said "with Buick power?" scratching hard on what hair he had left. I had to open the hood for him.

    I really need some electric hood struts......now that would be cool, push a button and watch the hood open!
    Anyone know if there are such things? There must be...
