Featured Car - Russel Burakowski's 1986 Grand National



Another fine example of a good looking, hard running southern car ...

Russel's good looking GN shows the typical attention to detail and appearance of a Buick owner. Russel tells us that it runs mid 7s in the 1/8 mile and expects more with fine tuning his combination. Russel plans on upping the fuel injectors to match the turbo better and to get a Terry Houston downpipe for a bit better breathing. He also says that he enjoys the exchange of information and sense of community that the GN/TType Enthusiast Organization gives him.
