I have finally got an Opel GT. I have waited for 12 years for the right one to come along and now it is here!
My Husband and I went to Guntersville, Alabama to pick up the car. With $300 in our pocket we took off early Sunday moring to get it. In all it took $200 for gas and $100 to buy the car.
On the way home we had alot of people slow down by the car trailer and taking alook at "Opie". Alot of the older gentlemen on the way waved and made the thumbs up...

Good day today, bought two Opel gt's a 70 runner, a 73 for parts. A very long time ago I had tuned a gt, twin carbed, mild cam and was challenged by a 911 Porche, he highbeemed me and I took him to the cleaners. I know it was my driving skills, or his lack of, but I was impressed. This will not be my dream car, I own it (69 bmw 2800cs), but that one will take more space than I have at present. So as an introduction, I am peter and I am proud to be an OPEL owner. Wish me luck and if you are...

Changing from one type of racing to another can be a pain.
Case in point I was tring to use circle track methods to figure out the final drive ratio needed for drag racing.
Wroung I forgot that I'm shifting gears there by changing the multiplier.
Numbers so that I can remember
second gear 2.14X3.44=7.36 final.
7,920 inches in a 1/8 mile
The 205/60/13 tire is 72 inches in circ. with a dia. of 22.4
Thinking about a 24.4 dia.tire.

Had a great time last night and didnt break any parts.
Got to the track very late like around 8:25 right before the drivers meeting. So we were late teching in. Oh well..no practice runs so my setup was a big guess. First round drop out
