I think this is how the race went Sunday. Brian and I were first up. I think both of our street cars weigh in at 4,240# including the feather weight drivers. He dialed a 12:00 and I dialed a 11:70. He smoked me at the light with a R/T of .004 to my .106 and I could not run him down. He ran 12.07/114.02 to my 11:75/115.17 Then Lonnie took Shan out and Joel had a bye due to the Fatride blowing a fan belt(the only major breakdown of the weekend I think) Then Lonnie went up against Joel with Joel getting the red stink eye and Lonnie the win. Brian had the bye. In the finals Lonnie for the win against Brian. Good job Lonnie and Scott.
I accused Brian of being a Muslim Quadriplegic due to him lying on a rug in his trailer between runs on the ice bag and looking like a pretzel. Nice talking to several of the guys from the forum. Keith(63 Dreamin) spent both days there, Jim and Collin(Jim R), Models(not sure if I talked with him) Brian 64SS, and a couple other guys....CRS. Also Dan's Dad Bob was there keeping tabs on everyone. Also nice to see the long lost Ross(Impala Guru)AKa Brian Fugate racing again. Witness protection program must have run out..............
This was the first time out for my fresh engine with BWR heads. I thought the track was fine, no problems hooking up. My previous best ever was 11:86/115 and last weekend I eeked out and 11:64/116?Can't find the damn slip. Used to be getting into the 11's didn't happen very often. I made 7 runs last weekend and none were in the 12's. I attribute that to the BWR heads and the G-force tranny......it is SWEET. My small block Super Shifter guy Mike that was with me did the rebuild. He's been racing since 1964 I believe.
The dude that runs the NSS group stopped by and invited us for next year as Dan said above, and the track wants us back. Very accommodating I would say. Thanks to Dan for organizing the show. Nice to see the Home Wrecker back on the track again, you've put a lot of sweat and tears into that old Beater Dan, she's looking good and running great.............BTW I couldn't ask for a better bunch to hang out with.....
