....exactly what happenned to me when i went to the track with a friend and his car one w-end as i was just starting my Camaro project...Yeah, I was shootin for a big time PT project and i was all pumped up when, after a frustrating afternoon of trying to run 9's and only beeing able to do 10.04-5's we put the nitrous on ''KILL'' and he said ''if the season ends here so be it, we're doing a nine before we leave''...Well it ran a 9.96 sooo.....I ended up selling more than 10 grand worth of gathered Pro Touring parts and buying an 8-71 blown 468 big block / braked Th400 car to strip it of all its heavy duty stuff to build up the Camaro.......I was hooked back on Drag racing big time!!
I can relate.
Now, i just finished the Camaro, but more than that, i recently bought the Camaro the guy (Friend) i had sold my parts to was building so i am recuperating the Pro Tour stuff i had sold and might finish it after all...Just to tell you it'll come around if you want to, when you want to.
Cool deal, you're having fun... and thats what counts!!! I wanted to share my story so you can look ahead and be aware that you can always come back even if you steer away a little... The important is having a ball!!!
Oh and, POST UP SOME PICS,,,,been awhile no??
