Ok, you guys know how rabid I am about the 4.9 so much so in fact I have been chastised regarding my many post about it. Anyway, my car is at Ed Parks getting a 4.9 engine/heart transplant. Therefore, I could not drive it to the event, but I had to be there. So I traveled incognito driving my other car and all I can say is WOW. I can honestly say that I was impressed as much or moreso by the owners/attendees as I were with the cars. You guys are the nicest bunch of car owners around.

I was mildy surprised to see people who are bigger car nuts than I am. Now on to the real good stuff.

After talking to Rockcrawl about his car I asked if he could start it so I could hear it. He then upped the ante and said let's go for a ride. WOW, he just about gave me whiplash, that thing is silly fast.

Scott Perkins and Dan Bunker even let me drive theirs, I was in Fiero heaven. This is extraordinary when you consider we had never met or spoke prior to this event and for them to trust their babies with a stranger. WOW. Ed Parks also let me drive Rosie's 4.9 which drives like it has power steering, nice cars and people all.

I would also like to thank Jack Cooke, Skitime, Becky/Her86GT, California Kid, Fierosound, Kameo Kid, Ed Williams and Eric Bunker for introducing me to his dad which made that 4.9 drive possible.

I know I'm missing someone. However, it is not because I didn't appreciate your contribution it is only because I was so overwhelmed by the people and event it's hard to remember everyone.

Thanks

Rockcrawl and his "devil" powered machine can certainly give a huge ride. I am grins every time I get in it too, just the sound of it is soothing to the car guy within.

If Scott is the guy with the white 4.9 88 GT, he let me drive his car also. He's one of the nicest guys I've met. Thanks alot Scott

Steve

I think I got more enjoyment out of your reaction to a ride in my car than I had all weekend!

It was cool to finally meet Ed Parks, George Ryan, and lots of other people I've "known" for so long but never met.

Jon

I thoroughly enjoyed speaking to you and riding in your car, which has to be one of the fastest things outside of an amusement park.

Thanks again Rockcrawl

I picked up my 4.9 from Ed Parks and it runs great. I've had to teach quite a few drivers not to mess with a Fiero powered by a 4.9 Caddy eng.
