Pontiac Pavement Pounders Shootout - Pontiac Heaven/Speedworld Motorplex Edition
Owner Bio: Mike Ciraolo Having learned to drive in his mom's '75 Pontiac wagon, Mike has been a Pontiac man since age 17, when he bought a '69 Firebird. "I completely restored a '67 GTO from age 17 to 23 when I finished it and sold it to move to Arizona (red-on-red, California car)," he explains. Mike purchased this '66 GP in 2003. "I fell in love with it when I saw it. I'm the second owner, and the car was well maintained and very original." A customer engineer by occupation, Mike, now 41, has been racing for three years and enjoying every minute behind the wheel of his '66 GP. | STRIP TUNING LOG | | Run/Tuning | Launch RPM | Shift Pt. | 60-ft | 1/8-mile | 1/4-mile | | 1.
