  • We really picked the wrong time of year to do this, but we are doing our best to give y’all a chance to see just exactly what this little 427 Street Engine is REALLY CAPABLE OF!
    Testing reveals, my Nova needs more than just Caltracs to handle the amount of power this thing makes on the jug!!!

    Gotta love Uncle Bob's excitement when the Nova was on the back wheels. I bet he was thinking the whole time "Damn I built badass SBC"..and he did.

    That was super cool of the track owner Paul to do all that and open it for you guys like that. Just way cool. But seeing the smile on Uncle Bob's face made my evening. He deserved the break and to experience something he has built.

      @@robsdeviceunknown it was still a nice thing to do. He probably charged him very little since it is Bill or they possibly could have worked out a deal as far as promotions you promote my track I open it free for you, which is still technically not free but whatever. But I do still yet stand by my statement that he will open the track for anybody for the right price.

You just never know what God's plan is, make every second count. Now that I am 56 I cherish the time I get to spend with my boys 15, 18, & 21. God Bless you and the Family.

You can tell Bob has been fast many times for sure. I'm sure happy to see you keeping the Nova rollin. My first car was a 72' Nova SS four speed car, and I've had 5, 3rd gen Nova's total. So I'm a big fan of the Nova. I love all the content on all the channels. And it just keeps getting better!

    Love seeing Uncle Bob behind the wheel making passes especially in BAD ASS ENGINE he completely machined and built. There's no better feeling than feeling the POWER of something you built yourself. Congratulations on Grandparent hood Bill & Vicki Hoskinson, I've got 4 grandsons and theirs NOTHING like it💯
