TCP,
I bought the car in 1988, it was an old east coast rust bucket and
took me 11 years to bring it back to life. The first time I drove the
car was two weeks before the 35th anniversary in Charlotte. We drove to
Charlotte, drove the track in the intermediate class (about 110 on the
back straight) and drove home. About 900 miles. At the time I had TCP
control arms, the strut kit and the sub frame bars, but not the connecting
grid yet. That car drove like it was on rails. Seemed like we were doing
40! Since then, the 289 is out and now I have put a 347 in there. Love
that power!
