:texas: My name is Chris. I'm 36 years old and I'm a Chevy/GMC lover and a 110% :ford: Ford/Dodge:dodge: hater and I do mean hate them with a passion. :offtopic: I'm disabled because of a severe back problem that causes chronic low back pain all of the time.

:fsg: My 1st ride is a 2002 GMC SIerra SLT that is Dark Polo Green with Pewter on the bottom 2 tone. It has the 5.3 liter motor and a 3.73 posi rearend and has less than 25,000 miles on it. It's all stock, but I do want to do a few things to it starting with wheels & tires.
I have time trialed it on an 1/8 dragstrip and it ran a 10.13 @ about 70mph with a 2.19 60' time.

:bowtie: My next and most fun ride is my 1972 Chevelle that I previously drag raced religously til 2002 and that's when I had to quit work because of the pain in my back.
All the specs on the Chevelle are as follows:

:burn: 72" Chevelle #3475 lb w/o driver, #3700+ lbs w/driver
Built By Tommy Sadler @ Competition Racing Engines
406" w/splayed caps GM 509 casting w/Venolia F.T's 11.2/1 comp., Dart/World Sportsman 64cc heads bowls blended cnc gasket match, non ported from RHS,Callies Crank, Childs & Albert 6" rods, Comp Cams solid/flat tap 280/288 adv. dur., 530/550 lift w/1.6 Comp Stainless rockers on intake side & 1.52 exhaust, final lift =.565 int./.550 exh., Botie Victor Jr. intake w/BG reaction time SilverClaw 750 carb
PTC Turbo 350 trans w/manual valve body, JW Ultra-Bell, PTC 10"4500 stall
Moser 9" rear, 4.33 gears Moser 33 spline axles, Moser full spool, 3rd member & pinion support & yoke
Chris Alston adj ladder bars, Koni double adj. shocks
Hooker super comp headers into 3" pipes w/H pipe over the rearend w/18" long Dynomax Bullet mufflers

Car is very very dependable & streetable but trailor to the track, still has all accessories w/ power steering & alt. & battery in stock location, but has no A/C
Can run 93 octane gas with no problems at all, but I do mix 93 & 110 race fuel to race

Best ET in 1/8 mile is 7.32 @ 93+ mph W/1.52 60' on Hoosier 29"x10" slicks on 10"wide Weld Draglite rims
Average 7.50s in hot Alabama summertime W/1.5-1.6 60's.....depending on tune up on crappy BG Carb


:sorry: My 3rd and last ride is a 1990 Honda Prelude :rice: that is in very good condition. It is the gas saver in the family. It has the (big) 2.1+liter 4 banger with twin over-head cams and 16 valves.

:cheer: I really look forward to meeting all (or ast least most) of you. I know I'll have plenty of qestions to ask in the future about my truck and I hope I can help a lot of you guys and gals sometime.
