Thumbs up Congrats to Daren(WIKIDTA) on making the cover of HPP!

Congratulations Daren (aka WIKIDTA) on making the cover of High Performance Pontiac!

He is featured in the January 03 issue. I received the issue in the mail and I think it hits the stores this week.

The car looks AWESOME eh!

Maybe one of these days I'll be a "reformed" street racer. LMAO
(ps...Anyone who knows Daren, knows better)

Cool

Congrats Daren,I seen you run that Super stock Camaro last year at SLP Day at Milan in June, and put the smackdown on him

You were running right off the trailer and beat him twice! impressive.

I thought your car should be featured in a magazine and I am glad it happened for you.

Yeah, I had heard the same thing... Just goes to show, you can't believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see.

Congrats Daren.

Thanks Everyone

Those pictures of my car came out AWESOME. I think they are the best ones taken of the car to this date. I can't ask for anything better. I never had a cover story and I was so suprised. I thought it was going to be just an article and not the feature story. I've had photos taken of the car when racing, but this is my first time I got the cover. Thanks again to everyone!

As far as rumors lol
See what happens when I spend my summer having fun racing on the water instead of the track. I still own the car, unless someone makes me an offer I can't refuse

Here is what the real scoop is----

The car is undergoing a few changes . I haven't run the car at the track since the NFRA event in Bowling Green last year. I can't wait to see what it's going to do now.

We dropped from 3900lbs to around 3600-3700 with the k-frame, seats, removal of misc parts in engine bay and other areas. Added a new cam, more nitrous, misc parts , and hopefully looking to be ready for the Grand Bend event on the 26th if all goes the way I hope.

Since the Jan 03 issue of HPP hasn't hit most the newstands yet around here. I scanned a copy of the article and placed it on my info page if you care to see.

Here are the links.

congrats Daren. Looks like it said Jan. 03 on the cover.
Well, a cover story like that should make the car worth an additional 5 grand. You are our only hope to take on the 9 sec. blue civic. Now I'm going to HAVE to make Grand Bend, even if its without my car.

Congrats Daren on the feature. The pics do look good. Looking forward to see the changes hit the track at Grand Bend.

Opps, I was too excited and typed in the wrong month. lol
From what I heard, there should be a few interesting cars at Grand Bend to take on that 9 sec civic.

Hopefully I can get my car ready and tunned in the next week. I'll let you guys know if I can make it.
