Hello from the Northwest

496stroker · 07-31-2013, 12:51 AM

Hello to from WA. I am new to the forum.

I started in Camaros with my first car, a 1969 SS 396 that I bought back in 1971. Fast forward a few years eh?

I am a retired firefighter and live a little bit south of Seattle.

I've stayed in the drag race scene and for the past many years have been doing high hp turbocharged V6 builds. I just added a car recently and back to the BBC though so here I am.

1972 Camaro, 496 Stroker with 871 blower.

I am in the process of making changes that I want to see and straightening out some other things I think need attention. Always interested in comparing notes with like builders or other similar setups.

BAD A$$ ride and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, dad's, wive's, husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

Thanks.

I don't know. I just got the car last month (not even a month ago). I am still making changes, fixes, and so forth. No opportunity for track time and have to make some safety changes first.
