Welcome, I'm down the street from you in Wichita.
I visit this site and a few others for great info.
Got a 69 Camaro vert with a LS7 3880# that I would love to get into the 10's.

I have been going to the Buick GS Nationals in Bowling Green KY for about 25 years now and back in the early 80s I was informed of a new secret weapon. That was what took me from a street tire frier to leaving the line on the street with the left tire in the air. ALmost took a second off my ET. The company was M&H and the 275 60 15 strret legal tire was now my friend. BTW I was the first in town with a set. ANd MAN all summer all people wanted to do was be able to leave on me... Then the party was over, I got busted with them on. Not by the police but a very smart and aware street racer. They all of a sudden were on every car in town. SO I had to build a bigger engine, then a bigger one. Finally this engine in my car was buillt in the mid 80's by several people, and at one point was featured as "Buzilla" in a car magazine. I bought it from a guy in florida. He told me it would just tear up my car it made to much power..... Yea right like I would believe that..... However no longer is it in its original form the "buzilla" engine lasted the longest in my car making over 500 runs and countless street races. ...... I broke the crank in it awhile back and it takes forever to get one built by moldex. I just dropped the new one off in Eureka kansas yesterday to my machinist. SO"Buzilla" will run again soon.

I have raced at Wichita KS, KCMO, Kearney NE, Pueblo CO, Manhattan KS, and Nobile OK as well. If Im ever there come over and say hey.

You can see some of the runs Ive had for the last couple years I posted them on YouTube. Heres one of them

Another Kansan over here too - the half-way mark, Emporia. If you ever find yourself in need of an artist give me a shout. Looks like you've been around a while but welcome anyway! Those Buicks are kiiiiiller.
