Pontiac Pavement Pounders Shootout - Virginia Motorsports Park Part: 1
Owner Bio: Emily and Mike Wilson "This GTO started out as a father/son project but ended up as a husband/wife project," Emily says of the Goat the family bought six years ago. "The highlight behind the wheel has to be the excitement of taking my first run down the track, with the encouragement of my husband Mike. I have been hooked ever since." At 45 years old, this secretary has been racing for four years, and she feels this GTO is special because of "all the great people I've met on the journey-the swap meets, car shows, and at the track-who are all looking to build the perfect musclecar." | STRIP TUNING LOG | | Run/Tuning | Launch RPM | Shift Point | 60-FT | 1/8 E.T./MPH | 1/4 E.T./MPH | | 1. 20 psi in tires, 34-deg timing, #80/#90 jets | Idle | 5,200 | 1.76 | 7.85/87.41 | 12.37/108.42 | | 3.
