A great day

[Ronnie Russell]

Had a great day yesterday. Got to meet Cecil in person ( what a person !!! ) and after many months of delays, finally got Barry's new car out for "test and tune" session. Some minor bugs to work out, especially shifter snafu. Ran 6.25 in the 1/8 mi. Brian may post a "you tube" later on. Looks like we caught a Dodge S/S car by surprise. Yes sir,,, a great day.

Just got the video up on youtube....

Acording to this calculator, 6.25 in the eigth works out to 9.88 in the quarter mile.

Looking good Ronnie! I'd love to have seen the mopar guys expression when he realized he was only good for a runner up.

Would seem almost a natural rivalry match up from back in the day.
Who doesn't love a 1962 Chevrolet sedan race car, especially when it is running that good.

Must have been a great time.

Dang, how did I miss the fun?
I really enjoyed my visit with Ronnie. The man has a lake and a park in his back yard. Seeing all that growing green stuff is quite a contrast to the endless sea of tan in AZ.

Cecil:

Nice car Ronnie ! Sounds good too !

Did you build that 409 ?

 

[Ronnie Russell]

Yep, It is a tired 481. Two full seasons on it . Transplanted from the Chevy II. Hope it lasts 2 more months, at which time I can pull it and do rings and bearings during the winter.

Great pics!

Ronnie:

Congrats on a task well done! Glad you had the chance to get some bugs out. And glad to learn you connected up with the one and only OldSkyDog . Did you take the Harley?

Brian, thanks for shooting the video . Love those Belair sedans!

Cecil-

I was waiting by the phone for Ronnie to let me know when you would be there. Would have loved to have met you. We will have to take a road trip out to your neck of the woods.

You wouldn't t like it Phil. It's clean and well organized. You could actually walk around in it. What's up with that?:

That's a thought. Maybe he could find that rattlesnake that's living in mine. I found a snakeskin a couple of weeks back.:eek: After Phill starts digging through my junk maybe he''ll scare it away.
