Default BRUISER goes to the show!

We already know Bruiser can go....in the 10's and almost 130mph his first time out with no suspension tuning.

But can he SHOW?? Here is a pic from the CorvetteChevy Expo in Houston this weekend. We are in the "competition" group which I guess is okay. We'll see how he does this weekend.

Articles on the motor from Corvette Enthusiast are on the floor and Stan Chorianopoulos' 2nd Generation Restorations banner is in front of the car.

So far so good!

Doug
