OK, got all of Eddie's info on the lists. Only thing missing is the number of gears in that Bruno-drive and what his best times were in 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005... Thanks! bp

Thanks, Flyin. These latest runs (the 4.28 and 4.33)... were they run under a Pro Street combo or Outlaw Pro Mod? bp
here in the hills we call it big tire outlaw, most places categorize them as pro mod. so i'd sa pro mod, thanks

3 speed, and i don't know on the others, he was running 4.40's in 04, then he changed to the firebird and ran a best of 4.43, i don't remember the mph 153 i think, it kept eating head gaskets on the top end, turns out the high speed lean out had been put together wrong by whoever he bought it from, last sat night he ran 4.28@169, 2nd round qualifing 4.30@167, 1st round eliminations ran a 4.29@ 168, and shook the tires off of it in the 2nd round, i told him he needed to show up at the line with a 4.28 dial-in on the windshield just to screw with everyone.

the camaro was a few cars ago, it is a 67 he still has it, the one before the bird was a vette, it was the pro street one, before that was a 67 nova pro street, and a 67 chevelle before that.

My sister had a boyfriend with a Marina blue, 66 396 4-spd SS car. I told her to marry him!!
Went to school with a guy whos dad was a mechanic. Dad bought the kid a 69 SS also a 396 car less motor and trans. His dad put in an oil burning, smoking worn out 283 with an powerglide in it. Everyday I saw him driving that car with it smoking and stinking I was almost sick!!
