  • Greetings from Michigan

    Hello guys. New to the forums, and new to the 60. My name is Larry Richardson. I am a 32 year old computer tech from Kalamazoo, MI. As a hobby I race Outlaw FWD cars on paved short-tracks in the mid-west. this past summer was my rookie year. I started out in a Mazda 626, and did quite well with it. I finished 4th in points, but in order to keep up with the top guys next season I decided I need something with a little more cowbell.

    I recently purchased a 99 Grand Am GT that I am in the process of cutting up, and converting into my race car for 2016. I don't know much about the motor, or cars in general past your basic bolt-ons, but I did learn a lot this past year with the help of some fellow racers.

    I'm sure you will be hearing lots from me in the coming months as I learn what makes this new car tick, and what will really bring it to life out on the track!

    You can check me out on facebook and YouTube by searching for Richardson AutoSports.

    Racing an N-body? Keep a couple of sets of front hub assemblies on hand...

      Never did get a chance to post the pics of the finished build. Was way to busy turning a Grand Am into a FWD Camaro.

        Damn man, you went all out! Looks really good! I'm guessing you've had it out this year. How did it run?

        I think I see a 3500 intake there. Is it all 3500?

          Did an engine swap for a 3500. The upper and lower manifolds are ported, and it has a street/strip cam from WOT. Also custom aftermarket headers. Right now I am the 2nd fastest car in my class behind a guy that has a fully built 3400.
