Tony, yes, unfortunately Serge T passed away. I meet him and Ned about 2005. I have worked WITH Rolling Thunderz since about 2016.

Ned has taken Serge's son Sasha under his wing and he now works for Ned learning the high performance game. BUT there is a lot of things happening and that I can't get into, due to ongoing legal proceedings.

As for Mike Celica? That car probably had the BEST name for any car I can think of!!!!!!!

If you look at the pics I just posted you will see my old blue 67 Olds 98 down the street from the Nova. On the outside it was let's say rough, but on the inside it was rough. LOL. It had a 425 Olds with a TH400. That motor was a stump puller that would not die.

Thanks for posting.
I used that feature often in my L34 '67 SS Chevelle I had in '85 and my '66 396 Caprice I also had. Drop it in first and stand on it and wait for that Turbo 400 to "blow shift" into second with a satisfying bark from the tires. Always fun.

Love the BB Nova you had as well as the Turbo Buicks ( I have both currently.) You have great taste in cars!

Default The C5. King Of the Hill.

I was on YouTube and found this vid. I can't believe I forgot it in the C5 chapter.

Zig... Did you ever run down on Eastern Avenue below the "new" Gardner Exp?

I had a 72 Riviera GS, I would run 5.0L Mustangs and beat them. They'd be PO'd getting beat by their Grampas car... LOL

Are you sure you mean Eastern ave?

Commissioners street (south of Eastern/south of the Gardiner) was a popular location for street racing.

Ziggy, looks like you were racing Steve "splash" Damianidis's street car with the SSRE power. His '68 Camaro race car was quick back in the day. Small world as that same '68 Cararo used to be John Carinci's car.
