Potamus Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 I remember Nitro Nick and the Tainters quite well me and Logan ( tsirocket ) used to hang out at Nitro Nick's, and had met the Tainters at a meet at Milan dragway that was back in 2001 I think.

mstieg Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Yeah! I met Tainters when they came all the way to race at Byron, IL. Let me try their slicks for better launch but mine didn't have the pep at that time to take advantage. Later spend quite some time with them doing full susp. bushing kit, brakes, susp/springs, etc. Later returned for MPI & turbo swap. They're the ones that got my max hp dyno #s in. Never did meet Nick or see that locomotive shovel front end, but was amazed he busted out those numbers with a small 16g and go-go juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuze Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Got me all nostalgic... I miss MitsuMark and BoostedYack. Mark sold me so many parts early on including the 83 hood I still have, payed $375 for it and grumbled about it at the time.. heh heh. Yack had one of the first Starion motor swapped Mighty Max's, and an epic afro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pure_insanity Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Shelby, the bigjohn mentioned in the meet thread is john mcgrath, jmacten. Hes an old timer from way back before my time in 01-02. Pretty sure hes been around since early 90s or before. One hell of a great guy and extremely knowledgeable, but kind of quiet. The big john that bought your old truck from jimmy is over in tennessee. I dunno how long hes been around, but hes another pretty cool dude. Him and his wife dee have a hand in the p.f. Meets. Couldnt ask for nicer people. Now all we got to do is get you to p.f. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
