Al Corda---LS-1 4th gen Firebird/Trans Am?
 
Was Al Corda running a LS-1 Pontiac stocker ('98-'02 car) in the past few years? Yellow car maybe? Is someone still campaigning that car? Much thanks. WJ

In '09 Corda ran the Pomona,Phoenix & Houston nmational events. Plus a divisional at Houston, and then apparently quit for the year.

John, Was it with the yellow LS-1 Pontiac Fbody car? Trying to figure out when he was running this car. Thanks for the input....WJ

At the beginning of last year he was driving his orange Firebird, I think he ran it out west and know for sure he had it at the Spring Nats. I know he had the Corvette at Joliet and Indy.

I believe the yellow Firebird is the one that David Latino now shoes.

Hey W J . I believe Joe Hollingsworth has, and is campaigning that car now. I hope all is well in your life, Dale H

Thanks....are you folks still running a LS1 pkg, stick or auto, and what class/classes are you running? Having owned and competed w/ a couple, ('99 stick and '02 auto) I'm real partial to these cars....Best wishes to Phil, You, and David for a safe and successful 2010 race season w/this car. WJ

That car originally belonged to Fred Simmons....head of GM Racing. The last time I saw the car it still had Fred's GM parking sticker in the windshield.

Does anyone know if Al still has his '63 Max Wedge Plymouth Wagon?

My understanding is that he has two Max Wedge cars in the garage, the wagon being one.

Mikey, I wonder if "Sid" ever tried editing that entry list any time in his vast and extensive racing career?

Mike Carr 01-27-2010 02:16 PM

Re: Al Corda---LS-1 4th gen Firebird/Trans Am?
 
Mark...nah. But I bet some people "Sid" is "close" to probably have.
