There will be more than one time trial for everybody on saturday .Lots of runs on friday make as many passes as you want on friday and couple hours before pairings on saturday.Hope to see many of you soon,Steve :3gears:
Trying to get my cars done, if so well be there. new trans,clutch and gear.. oh ya and that clatter noise!!!!!!o No: :3gears:
It is not lookin' good for me, now. The old 460 in my tow vehicle is just plain worn out. Did a compression test on it cause it has been running like crap lately. I'm only getting 115 to 125psi across all 8 cylinders. Now I have to decide to re-build, replace the engine, or part out the truck and find a new one. Sorry Steve, I really wanted to come to the race. If anyone really wants to own a 1979 F-350 Super Cab Camper Special 4x2, make me an offer. I just might sell it.
We sure hope to see you there Chris.There are no big hills between you and Muncie I know you can make one more trip or two with your truck its going to the races not someplace you don't want to be.Hope to see you soon :3gears:
running out of time I'll have to pass on muncie this year as my car is in 2000 pieces and just a gutted shell,i'll be lucky to make stanton this year,i should have my engine back by late Aug,and i have yet to start on my trans,rear is out,and the entire interior has been removed,with 6 weeks to Mi,it looks like im right on schedule.
Will try to make it, schedule is open at this point. Car essentially ran OK at Beaver Springs, so hopefully no unpleasant surprises between now and then.
HELLO, Hello, hello.........is there anybody out there? Just nod if you can hear me....... Nobody committed to stay anywhere and it's only 2 weeks away?
I called Roger the owner of the Muncie Dragway .I hope to hear back tomorrow on a hotel with a good sized parking lot for tow rigs.I will post when I hear back.I will stay there myself on thursday and friday night.I live 70 miles away and driving back and forth isn't worth it.Hope to see you soon Steve p.s If you have any questions call me at 317-509-7514 :3gears:
Dave, I have a buddy who lives in Selma, right next to Muncie, so I don't have any motel planned. I worried about Stanton, I've procrastinated too long.ou:
I was told the Days Inn and Ramada have the biggest parking lots for tow rigs .I will stay at one of them thursday and friday night .If some of you book a room at one of those let me know wich.Thanks Steve :3gears:
Guess Muncie is out for me. See you all in Stanton. :grin: Thrashing away on the 66, sure would like to debut at Stanton. Still having gremlin problems. Carbs all over the workbench right now checking everything out. So far, so good (1/3). Here's a link to one of the match race runs at Beaver Springs against that gorgeous GTO judge. Almost got him this time, but not quite. Closest race I've ever run. Diff at the end was .02 sec. I qualified poorly again, so would have been DQ'ed even if I had won. This was the only match race at the event, other Pure Stock car had a bye run, and tow others were in the second bracket of FAST. Note the "parking brake" holding the car still on the line? :bglasses: http://www.youtube.com/user/Dehw31Olds
The long term weather looks like upper 80's for the end of next week.Hope to see many of you next weekend .Steve :3gears:
The weather forcast is good for this coming weekend for Muncie sunny and highs in the 80's .It sounds much better than this past week.Hope to see many of you soon Thanks,Steve :3gears:
