I took about 700 pics and some friends took about another 900 or so. I still have to upload their pics but here is the link to the pics so you guys have something to look at.

2 TTA's were present this year. One I didn't see too much. Looked a little well used. I think it was showing around 35K on it. The other TTA in the pics at the link are of Razor's old Alky test kit car. Was nice to see it in person. He is local and said he'll be back next year for the TTA reunion. Keep checking back I'll be adding more pics as I get them uploaded!

The event was a great time and I can't wait till next year for the TTA reunion and seeing that car show lot full of TTA's!
 
looky here! What a good looking burnout.

The litttle well used car was #861 that i just bought from craigslist. it has been outside its whole lifee. I plan on painting it this winter. tom
 
Oh hey Tom! Sorry I missed some pics of your car! When I spotted it I didn't have my camera and when I came back I didn't see it anywhere. I thought that was the craigslist car. She needed some tlc but looked like you had a good base to start on for sure! With the lower miles I figured it might have sat out for sometime in it's life. Hope to see it again next year!
 
Thanks for the pics, Jim. I enjoyed looking through them.

Looks like it was great show and race day. Wish I was closer.

Thanks! That's why I like to take them for you guys that can't make it! Are you going to make it next year for the TTA reunion? We need as many as possible to show up! :dance:
 
Jim,

I am in!! It's twelve hours from here. I'll probably throw the old girl to the trailer. I ran out last year for the Trans Am Nats in Dayton, OH with my 79 Solar Gold TA and had a great time (Three figures to Tipp City-Off the Record :thumbup:). Looking forward to meeting all the guys. A hundred or more TTA's, that will be...........amazing.

Matt
 
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! The more TTA's the better! These girls all deserve to be together again!! Next year in Ohio baby! It's going to be the TTA take over! :)
 
Nice pics :thumbup:

#861 was my old car from 10 years ago I bought as a theft recovery, it was rough back then too but ran it's ass off for the year I raced it. I won lots of races on the track and the street, it was pretty consistant 12.0 car and a real sleeper ;)

Since Jim didnt get any here's a pic and vid

Nice thanks for sharing! That car was like a real ghost! Every time I went to snap a pic of it last week in Ohio it was gone from where I last saw it! Now I see why she runs her ass off!! :) Don't worry next year at the TTA reunion I'll get plenty of it and it will then be a part of history for attending the event!! :dance:

All I did to that motor was one set of headgaskets right before I sold it, I guess they didn't like living on racegas for a season :) and I don't know the history of the car before me other than it was raced before I got it (had drag radials and a cutout on it when I picked it up). I also swapped out the trans right before selling it with a unit from a GN, but that unit got rebuilt shortly after. I still have the original burnt trans from that car. Also the posi went out on it just after Bristol 2000 so I took the diff apart to shave the cones and shim up the springs. Other than that the car never gave me any problems which impressed me considering how I used it.

Anyway it was a really fun car, good luck with it and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did in the short time I owned it
