I would KILL for that 61 Catalina in your pic! :bglasses: :bglasses: :bglasses: Leave some time for the lamb kabobs, too. They were awesome at Martin! :beer Pretty quiet so far on Stanton. It should heat up pretty soon. Not sure who all is going, biggest news I know of is debut of the new BIG Merc from Waterford. I'll be there with Ramrod as usual.
I bought that "drag cat" on ebay 2 years ago for 13000.00 and stuffed it full of cubes. My "employee of the month" ran a 12.44 but didn't want to tree the boss so he let me win.He drove it to Norwalk...got 14mpg...made 5 passes and drove home using just 1 quart of oil. Don't worry about the lamb.......there's three o' them out back that I got my eye on right now. they look delicous! see ya in september
You had me worried for a moment!! ou: Got the OK from the boss this weekend. Stanton is a 'GO'! And I will be sporting a new rear! :Brow: (Actually the car will be sporting a new rear. I will be more than happy to give you that view going down the track!!) :3gears: StrokerBoy, Chevy454, hodgesgi, Lets get ready to load 'em up! We have the makin's of a Convoy! :bglasses:
We will be there Chris and I will be coming up from Kentucky with the Lemans and Dart. Chris still has the shoe polish on from the martin race. He got in the Dart over the weekend and said there were spider webs in it. (He's had a busy summer). Plus he just found out his Bull Mastiff has cancer and will have to put him to sleep. It does'nt get much worse than that if your a dog guy. He's 9 years old and right at the life expectancy for that breed. Anyway, looking forward to seeing all you guys and gals again. See you in a few weeks. Don P.S. Hey Bruno, I'm not going to eat for 3 days before we get there, so we can enjoy those FABULOUS lamb kabobs. :3gears: :beer
Stanton is the ancient burial ground of the muscle car God.Once a year,grown men visit to pay homage to the almighty! They offer their most prized garage dweller as the highest sacrifice. If you shift real well he lets you bring it home in one piece. By the way.......you also get to eat ,drink,party,race and meet really cool people that are just as crazy as you are!
Exception! Some grown women also show up, to whip on the grown men, and at least one of them races a BUICK with a 4-speed! See ya there!
Oh my God,Roberta I am so so so sorry that I forgot to mention the better specie!!!!! 8 lashes for me and no chocolate chip cookies before bed! ou:
And Annie Oakley may be there with her red '70 GS Convertible, if Hemker can find all the oil leaks! by then! Red Buicks rock!
Oh, Stanton is close to home (1 hr) and that old possessed wench is going this year if I have to chain her to the back of the dually and drag her kicking and screaming down the track!! :af: Red or not, she's made this a personal vendetta!! It's a love/hate thing. :spank: No gears for me, you're the QUEEN Berta! But I'll bet I'm the only "lefty" driver there! :laugh: (Thanks for the help with the golf cart!!)
Lefty! Your new name Annie Oakley Lefty from Oakley! Can't wait, if we have to, we'll but the wench in my trailer and you drive my truck and I'll 4speed it to Stanton! But then again she might possess my trailer and make it a wicked witch with a wench inside, ooohh, scary, NOT, let me know, we can do it! OR I'll drive the wench and make her right and you drive my truck with the 4sp inside the trailer and we make it work either way! Works for me! Can't wait! :3gears: :beer
Ok, I got direction from Lucille's guru yesterday - basically, he said "drive it!". We'll hit the road over the weekend and see if I can't get the break-in miles completed. I still say the evil witch is just trying to make excuses to get back to the Hemker Home for Wayward GS's. Lucille has 'bonded' with Dave! ou: Running, The Pure Stock Race is Sept. 15-16, see this website: Pure Stock Races
Not just Buicks, but all Muscle cars! Buicks are the most appreciated next to the Studebakers! SCARY! Lucille has 'bonded' with Dave! ou: Now that is a problem, Sandy and the girls won't like that Lucille "bonded" with Dave! Dave doesn't look good in a red convert, but his GIRLS sure would! Maybe that's the problem, they thought he bought the car for them and it's really all yours! Hence the wench attitude, she thought she should be with them, so to solve this problem, you need to move over by Dave, or he needs to put a Bronco or Silver Bullet or the Opel in your driveway to make Lucille jealous! Then the problem is solved, I could always send the Dino over to help, he won't answer the phone, so I don't know what good he is, but a laugh!
