Re: My 52 GMC Build

Re: My 52 GMC Build
We ended up talking to a few guys and I mentioned I wanted to go check out the auto cross cars. Turns out they where racing a '68 Camaro and asked if we wanted to go for a ride. Umm YA. It was amazing and really fast, the car has all coil overs and a LS3, big brakes and big rubber. There was about 40 car racing including a few c10's in the pro class. The orange one also has nitrous.
Then when we where leaving in the afternoon I drove up pit lane.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
That evening we had a chance to drive 3 laps on the nascar track so Yes we went. We got my GMC up to 86mph on the back strait, fastest the truck has ever gone. I think just over 90mph I will run out of rpm lol. The COE was all Chevy. Then there is a pic in the infield with our new friends watching the other cars go on the track. We had a great time at the show and are thinking of going again next year. Last pic is where it was parked on the strait. Stay tuned for more.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
That looks like it was A LOT of FUN!!! -- was just in NC myself about 2 weeks ago for some hurricane duty... probably gonna be back there again next week up in Goldsboro area.
Truck is lookin really good man! I think mine may be that way for awhile too once I get it all together - not real worried about paint right now.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Lower, thanks for sharing the pics. Looks like you guys really had a good time! Looking at the COE's makes me want one....of course that is true for about any old GM truck / car that I see.
Looks like Rob from No Limit was competing. |

There was so many vehicles it would take 3 days to see them all. But there seemed to be many GM trucks of all ages.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
I was really surprised, all weekend we could almost go anywhere and do anything. For the track we just handed them a little ticket and lined up, that was it. They had a pace car up front and 2 in rear of the 30 or so cars per time. Lots of guys held back so we could hammer down. When I get my GoPro footage on youtube I'll share it here.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Bob
Glad you made the return trip with no problems. Was really great getting to meet you on Friday. The GMC looks killer in person and I know you gotta be proud of it and how it performed on the trip. Look forward to doing it again next year.

Re: My 52 GMC Build
Sunday October 23 We woke up had breakfast and hit the road west. After a pic in front of ZMax. A 3.5hr drive took 5hrs due to our sight seeing. We went past lake Lure on our way to Turkey creek camp ground near Almond NC. When we got there it was to late to do what we had planed so we went for a hike to Fontana lake. Water was way down and we found this old foundation.
