It IS a nostalgia car; it's Jeff Wilson's AA/FA transformer with the old Amato Trans Am body (that's JIM Amato from Illinois).

By the way, Dan Smith beat Vishino in Pro...0.006 bulb in the final.

Twelve cars in the blown class on Friday night and NINE of 'em broke before eliminations; quickest was 6.60.

Although GIR's site doesn't show first round of the Friday stuff, Super Stick was great, however. Fantastic show for the first event and much better than I could've hoped when I created the program.
