With both stages of nitrous, the car could run in the high six second range in the 1/4 mile at around 200 mph.

The car will be fully equipped as a Pro Modified, but I'm starting out with a Top Sportsman drive train to 'get my feet wet first.' The engine is a 632 Big Chief nitrous setup from Charlie Buck (). Jerry Bickel is well on the way on the construction of my car and I hope to have it by sometime in late Spring or early Summer 2005. Rod took my idea and turned it into something that exceeded my expectations. I then talked with Allen Adkins with Illusions Paint and Body in Bristol, TN () about my idea of a Judge character on the car and he immediately referred me to Roderick Burke (), who specializes in artistic renderings of drag cars. Louis, MO, who was just getting started on a GTO Pro Modified chassis and body. I found myself talking to Jerry Bickel, St. I've always loved Pro Modified drag racing, and when Pontiac re-introduced the GTO recently, I had a vision of a special 'The Judge' Pro Modified based on the new GTO body. I started to build a 1969 GTO Top Sportsman car back in the late 80's but abandoned it to finish college and start my career in Information Technology. I also ran a part-time GTO and Firebird mail order parts business back in the mid-80's to support my way through college. My name is Doug Miller and I live in Salisbury, NC and spent much of my younger years here restoring and hot-rodding a 1969 GTO Judge Ram Air IV car. (next steps are paint, airbrush artwork, and final assembly) I'd love to hear reactions to the car - here's a copy of the artist's rendering and the car under construction. I'm not sure if I'll try any national events this year, but hopefully will do that for sure in 2006. This Summer, once I get my car, I expect I'll spend most of my time learning the ropes at my local NC tracks at Farmington, Mooresville, and Piedmont Dragwy.

Allen Adkins and Mark Brown with Illusions will do the body work and paint scheme.
