Danny, gotta say, I really like how you support Olivia. Feels good watching her "light-up" like a little kid, knowing you're helping her fulfill one dream after another, doesn't it? Like the movie line says, "Well, that's love, what can I tell you?"❤
P.S. don't know if your analytics say, but I'm watching on my big screen, but have to comment by phone. Not punching out early from the video, just off the phone. But ya get 2 likes!
She lights up, and then I do :) I love her passion for the sport. I would do anything to help her get where she wants to be. Thanks for the kind words Mitch 🤙

congrats olivia, i think your shift points were much better when you power braked it a little stronger, danny your a wonderful crew chief and inspiration for olivia
Dudet, I'am on the edge of my seat with anticipation when you pulled up for you're burn out! I'm blown away with excitement watching you two! Liv your a huge Knarly BADASS !
So excited for y’all!!! That IS something to cherish, running your own car at Pomona! SO much history there. Anxiously waiting on Sunday’s video. Loved this one!!👍👍
It's so fun to watch you guys get excited over 13 second runs. This is what it's Ll about folks. Build it your way, go have a blast. Congrats on your PB..
Congratulations on your P.B. Olivia! Danny's wheels/tires/exhaust adjustments for the assist 😎. Have to get Danny behind the wheel for some action too. Danny's comment at the end, the burritos and extra food, hope that doesn't weigh the car down... 😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing the event. 🍻
My drummer's wife is an In & Out manager and they are there today. I didn't get to go, but I appreciate you taking me with you virtually! Good job on the Blue Wave!
You both are having such a good time it makes me feel good to follow along! Hope you get into the 12s that would be excellent! Car sounds so good! Have you guys considered RAM air, it was common on GTO s in the 60s and they claimed it was good for 10 HP or so. EFI should auto adjust for it obviously.
Great driving Liv , that tempest really sounds good with open pipes, car is definitely capable of 12 second runs, your beautiful eyes so busy behind that helmet is so special ❤❤❤
Neighbors have a Nova exactly the same. Super clean, without roll bar and engine set up.. you should consider getting a small trailer specifically for car parts like others use.
You knocked off 46 lb using Hank's front tires and the Chevelles drag radials, and 60 more lbs with the removal of the exhaust, a total of 104 lb the Tempest should run like a horse 🐎 without a rider💪🏼💪🏼
There's little aerodynamic tricks you can do to old cars to get a tenth of a second or two better time. One is to run duct tape around the front windshield along the edge of the Chrome trim to help the air flow over the top of the car and not catch on the trim little stuff like that makes a big difference at 100 mph
Yep yep 1-2 sounded early. But hey how fun. Great memories being made. Your running a 12 sec mph. You will get there. 12.80's in near future. Even a little baby 75 nitrous shot I bet your a mid 12 runner. We're cheering for you both.
I want to put my 66 Impala street car up against your Pontiac! It is a survivor just like yours. Same patina and dents! They would look awesome going down the track!!
Hi. Very neat build. 18-24 inch collector extention can be worth 40 ish ft lbs of torque thru entire midrange. Keep on trucking. Be safe. Have epic adventures.
Well done you two, but please, please get a proper full harness seat belt and some fire proof gloves. I am a SFI inspector over here in UK. Your safety is paramount, you can fix an old car but.....our feeble bodies, not so. Otherwise yet another top film.
This is no help to you but ive always ran a three speed manul with reverse shift pattern. That places 1's in 2nd position, that brings 2nd back to you then 3rd is straight forward. That pulling the shifter back to you to me helps to peddle the cluch with a stiffer return spring I'd use. So quick that I could let my foot slip off the peddle because at this point I ether won or lost...o~`o
Biggest thing is her reaction time. Listen to how much latter she is compared to when that vet left. She watched him leave, still sitting there. She needs to practice the tree.
if you have the torque it will actually accelerate faster with taller tire and taller gears especially with a big block they wount rev as fast as a small block the taller gears tires covers mopre ground and probably less wheel spin and if your talking turbos the taller gearingh has a better effect for accerating faster it loads the turbo wITH ALOT OF EXHAUST MAKING MORTE BOOST AND MORTE HP PUSHING YOUR RIDE DOWN THE TRACK QUICKER AND FASTER
Thanks This The Great Video & Channel ! I Have a Same Car Channel too , From Finland ! Have : Drag Race , Street Race , Muscle Car , Super Car , Truck , Classic Car , Sport Car ,... #Retired4You
BTW, do you happen to remember what brand of mufflers you bought? I have a 1971 Camaro and I have cut outs, but I prefer something a little quieter than the Thrush 2 chambers that I currently have. They actually aren't much quieter than the open exhaust.
Hey guys, you really got to find a place to go testing! "I'm hoping..." should never start a sentence when getting ready for a race. Find a warehouse district somewhere, or a flat country road. Better to iron out problems before it hits the track. Also, find any potential safety issues, gotta keep "our girl" safe. BTW, got to throw a 150 shot on that Thang!❤
FYI, For Wheel hop on a GM Coil spring Rear Suspension, The "Old School" fix is "No Hop Bars" which relocate the upper control arms on stock rear suspension to make the car hook up better. Like a Poor Mans 4-link. If you can still find them. Competition Engineering may have them still. I have a set on my 71' Chevelle and I can Launch the car in the air with a 385 Cu.in. with Nitrous and a Trans Brake.

Pomona holds a great memory for me too. I watched Kenny Bernstein make the 1st 300mph pass in april of 1992. The fans went NUTS!!!

Thanks for sharing the event. 🍻
You guys bring me back to when I was kid.
Love watching you racing, Liv! The joy on your face made my Sunday.
My drummer's wife is an In & Out manager and they are there today. I didn't get to go, but I appreciate you taking me with you virtually! Good job on the Blue Wave!
Congrats on the 13.06 we are eagerly awaiting the 12.99 run PS. A little shot of NOS never hurt anyone 😜
But it has hurt a few engines
Congratulations on the personal best. But, it’s really a timing thing the start. Where it’s won or lost. Thanks for sharing.
💯👍
Nice talking to you guys in the lanes and great job with the car over the weekend!
Thank you so much! Nice chatting! :)
Great 👍 content guys. Can't wait to see what's coming our way. Truly entertaining 😉. Thanks 👍.
Way too cool! Thanks

So exciting! Thank you for sharing.
Good vid. Car is coming around and driver is getting more comfortable behind the wheel. Good job.
Wow never thought it would do that. Great job.😊😊😊
Super cool! You’re awesome
Yes! That's what they were called by the muffler shops back in the day. I remember cracking up the first time I heard it when getting turndowns.
Wow that was awesome footage great job guys
Just a fan I've been to Pomona to watch the internationals it's a nice track.Good Luck and be safe,New Mexico 505
Super cool, nice work!
A BIG congratulations Liv on your 13.06 qualifying. Give her the beans tomorrow.
You guys did a wonderful job on that car looks really good
Very good job guys 👌thanks for the video✌️ Congrats with your new fastest time❤️
Cool video, great to meet you guys!
Good for the both of you. Im happy for you. My father used to take me to Pamona in the early late 60 - 70's
What a good time. Regards from Ody Slim
Awesome!!!!!
Best video yet
Dan as you probably already no , your a torque convertor away from a consistent 12 all day, all about that 60ft,PS great little channel.
I remember Pomona aka fairplex ,a camaro ate the wall and i felt the impact sitting in the bleachers ,, shocked me for sure !
❤ You guys, maybe when my truck is done, this old timer will see you at a meet. Until then, I'll keep enjoying your content.
You both are having such a good time it makes me feel good to follow along! Hope you get into the 12s that would be excellent! Car sounds so good! Have you guys considered RAM air, it was common on GTO s in the 60s and they claimed it was good for 10 HP or so. EFI should auto adjust for it obviously.
Great driving Liv , that tempest really sounds good with open pipes, car is definitely capable of 12 second runs, your beautiful eyes so busy behind that helmet is so special ❤❤❤
That Nova is absolutely gorgeous guys that is a beautiful car
So cool 😎

Put the pedal to the metal and let em roar !
Pretty dang gnarly !

Youns seem to have a lot of fun...😎👍
Congratulations, (Pomona)
Love your camera work Danny.
Slayer out there looking all pretty and stuff
I want to put my 66 Impala street car up against your Pontiac! It is a survivor just like yours. Same patina and dents! They would look awesome going down the track!!
Always liked that body style
Hi. Very neat build. 18-24 inch collector extention can be worth 40 ish ft lbs of torque thru entire midrange. Keep on trucking. Be safe. Have epic adventures.
This is my first time watching, is Your car a Tempest or LeMans. What Engine and trans Set up are you running?
@gnarly speed shop congrats on getting those runs in! Please wear the proper gloves and lower your visor. Living the life!👍👍
Good luck you’ll be fine,you know your car nothing is easier
December is the west coast hot rod power tour you guys going it goes to irwindale speedway to Vegas to Pomona
Those collector extensions are called , torque tubes . Where the paint stops burning off , u cut them off there .
Definitely need to keep those wheels and tires on it
Hahahahaha 😀 "i was screaming in the car at the fucking wheelie" 😀 hahahaha.......................classic!!
WOO HOO! we'll bust my buttons!
I think the first 12 second pass is a great reason to give the ol' Tempest a nice paint job!
105 MPH is a 12 second pass all day long, all you need is 60fts. In the 1.8s
Go Liv !
Love binging you guys to catch up after I have missed a few episodes.
Well done you two, but please, please get a proper full harness seat belt and some fire proof gloves. I am a SFI inspector over here in UK. Your safety is paramount, you can fix an old car but.....our feeble bodies, not so. Otherwise yet another top film.
Please put a 4 speed in Big Wave…or better yet..a Tremec TKX…..that car would be so much more fun to drive….😊.

YES.. the One Two Shift was WAY short
❤ the Pontiac, And those big brown eyes!
Hello I want to get a T-shirt from you guys what is the price on them.
It needs a GTO hood.
change the plugs at the track . good luck

#Retired4You
The car has always short-shifted second, I've commented on it before...
Put some 4:10 gears in that thing and it will run 12.4. That will take your 2.0?? 60ft to a 1.7 ish!!
So at 24:28 Real Race Car 3 Pedals
put nitros on your flip flops
Danny I gotta say its awesome that you support Oliva's dreams and desires, you're lucky to have a very beautiful Canadian girl with you brother.
Take out the back seat
Uh-oh we got a nail in the tire!¿ "NoooWah"
Wasn't Death Week there too?
The F-bomb slip made the vid!
Finally found your loose screw, Liv! 😂
BTW, do you happen to remember what brand of mufflers you bought? I have a 1971 Camaro and I have cut outs, but I prefer something a little quieter than the Thrush 2 chambers that I currently have. They actually aren't much quieter than the open exhaust.
You should make a t-shirt that says "Fowl Play kicked my ass at Pamona!"

It's hard to believe cleetus McFarland's El Camino Mullet could outrun those alcohol funny cars.........
I predict 10 sec@113mph.
Your very beautiful 💚💚🌷
Third gear is not pulling hard.

QA1 makes em! But the Moser rear end I have actually relocates the arms upwards like you described.
I think 🤔 they wii run 🏃♂️ you’ll have fun at the races
now that's a 12 second car for sure. great job
