old guy, back again
Hey guys, it has been a long time since I posted. We had a few life hiccups and in the past 2-3 years had a ton happen. Everything from having our first child, to having him have a ton of trouble including a need for open heart surgery within the first 7 weeks of his life, to moving cross country to be closer to my in-laws so we can have some family support around. We are just getting settled out here in Oregon, my car is sitting in storage at my father-in-laws place in Waashington and I am planning on getting it down here in the spring once I have time to clear a space for it in our garage. Anyhow, just posting that I am getting back online and getting back into the car hopefully in the next month or so and looking to hit the race tracks out on this side of the country by summer...

Thanks guys,
Yeah things are going well, the car just took a back seat to life for a little while. And, after reading through some posts it looks like some of the big dogs in the LT1 community have stepped up their game in my absense. Now I definitly have to get on the ball to catch up, lol...John Pszenyczniak - Bolt-on only 95 Formula A4 11.561 @ 118.00 w/ 1.572 60' Thanks for parts, advise, and support from the LT1 bolt-on experts at Herron Performance and to Frank Cahall @ CPT for the best Race Rebuilt 4L60E on the market.

Back in the game a little, I was in the process of setting up my car for the rules of my old race series back when we lived in PA, and I was going to run in a certain class (eventially). So my car doesn't really fit in a lot of conventional classes and in the area I just moved to there are no real racing series (the weather is so hit of miss no series will last more than a year or so) so I was getting a little discouraged. Just last night I was talking with my wife and she helped me not get discouraged by reminding me that the happiest I was in racing was doing the work and getting a new PB, so for a while we think all we are going to do is tweak the car and build it up to be faster, probably ditching the bolt-on only thing and going for an all out LT1, going slow and getting new PB's along the way.
