    He He, me and Roaster in really fast cars?!?!?! Might wanna get 911 ready on the speed dial!


    Hey Doug, The fast cars there were all impressive, but I enjoyed watching yours launch the best! For sure you had the best launch. My favorite passes were John Schmidts passes down the strip. I swear he was tryin' to go the whole quarter on the two right wheels.

    Speaking of the "Zerucha Brothers".....Stan and I lined up for our $10.00 match race again while we were at Quaker. I'm happy to report that, while Stan outran me, he lit the ol' redeye and forked over a ten dollar bill, which he was kind enough to autogragh thusly: "Doug, YOU DA MAN. Stan. This silliness is so much fun, we're gonna do it again at Norwalk, as well as Cecil County!

    The actual numbers, for those of you following this ongoing saga....
    RT- Doug .634 to Stan's .459 redlight
    60ft- Doug 1.27 to Stan's 1.35
    1/8 ET- Doug 5.766 to Stan's 5.770
    1/8 mph- Doug 119.05 to Stan's 120.97
    ET- Doug 9.08 to Stan's 9.03
    MPH- Doug 147.07 to Stan's 149.02

    I want to thank John and Stan for being gracious competitors and I'm proud to call them my friends. See at Norwalk guys! :TU:

    Dan I think this is a good reason to get an intake,get your carb(800) and for you Roaster with a few mods your car can run 12's my old 87 T ran 12.73 with just minor mods and high 11's with a few more the only problem is Dan would have to do more to keep up it might never end:3gears:

    Welp.....I don't think it will get a BBB. My goal with the car was always that of a nice cheap street car to go to cruise's in. I never even thought it would go this fast. BUT...if you find me a clean Regal body with bad framerails(which should make it Dirt cheap), I will build a gutted, super low buck, 430 powered race car!
