I was on 16" 255 Mickey ET Street Radials on salad shooters… see the 2nd pic down… The side pic with my dial on my window was after i got eliminated and swapped my street tires back on… Thanks Jeff 😃 Some more pics thedak took… FAIL! Left lane Redlight (of course when it counted) ☹ ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3217/2996411194_94a2cf6859_o.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3217/2996411194_94a2cf6859_o.jpg) On the way out. ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3276/2996409932_4f7d4f1922_o.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3276/2996409932_4f7d4f1922_o.jpg) ---

Was this the Performance Years show? Any pics of Classic Pontiacs? I’ve seen the '64 GTO race car in person before. Ugly IMO, but a serious track car. I bet it’d be lots of fun on a track. ---

**Awesome runs,talk about consistency** Too bad about the redlight. Damn losing out against a 14.4 with another one of your 11’s Would you say the track prep made the diffrence, opposed to racing at PRP, in getting into the 11’s, or the colder air? What do you think was the biggest factor in the better times? ---

I’ve seen the '64 GTO race car in person before. Ugly IMO, but a serious track car. I bet it’d be lots of fun on a track. Not sure… we were on the opposite side of the track from the All Pontiac show… That Goat road race car is awesome, I think it looks great… was his first time ever taking it on the drag strip… i think he ended up going mid 13’s, only running 2 gears and stiff sidewall road course R Comps. > [@FS: 91 honda accord](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-91-honda-accord/13274/31): > > **Awesome runs,talk about consistency** > Too bad about the redlight.

Im not sure to be honest… DA was all over the place on Saturday, started in the -'s and ended up being almost to +1000… I also went to PRP with only 4 lbs in my bottle, due to Summit being out when I went the day before to get filled… ---
