Thank you sir. Tommy owns/operates Anger Management Racing ... He is a friend and mechanic for both of mine and many others vettes. Most of the "fast" cars know Tommy. He is tomdcarguy on my friends list.

Marshall (Paint it Black) and I raced the 10.50 index together, both cars were pretty much built for the same purpose. Both running low tens naturally aspirated and both have spray. The 98 is still a stock bottom the other is stroked/forged 382 Ci built to spray N20.

I am having an event in his honor in November at Atco for those who knew him. We plan to run my 98 against a similar setup Z06 - maybe we'll answer that age old question of which is faster - the Z or the coupe

Yeah that's what it's about ... He was my sponsor/mentor/friend and competition on the track we kept "pushing" each other to go faster
