and a few others I'm sure I'm forgetting...

Anyways, I had a good time. I'm not sure all of the guys driving did.... I seen so many guys loose traction on the big end today. I think it was the strong cross wind, but it might have been some other debris blowing on the track too. I am not sure what class this was, but I think it was Outlaw. He was lined up on the Budwiser side. The guy on the Tower side got sideways, straightened up, got back in it, and got sideways again. After he got out of it, I looked at the Budwiser side and watched this car go backwards into the wall....

Since I'm stuck at work all this weekend, Ive been on the phone with Archie all weekend on how he is doing, and he told me about the car above that crashed, He wasn't joking around when he said the hold car is gone..

The driver is ok as i was told

[OldMan]

Yea, he looked fine walking back to his pit. He was shook up though and I understand why!!!

Archie's car looked good, but he appeared to pedal it too. I think he was having the same issues with traction.

[shinysideup]

I was there and had a great time.
So windy I couldnt put the hood up on the maverick at carshow.

good seeing...

This is what I'm told by him, that is crazy windy at the track and right after you get past the last set of bleachers the wind is blowing right across the track,.

First round the wind almost took him into the wall.....I just got off the phone with him about 15 minutes ago,

Third round --- 8.202 178.96

Not to bad for a 347 with off the shelf piston and rods

[chevy eater]

I saw Chad there this afternoon.
The wind was terrible today

[JDL1000]

I saw you today talking on the phone so I didn't bother ya.


It was crazy windy and I was cold as shit. Thanks for the update on the driver, OldMan. I saw the crash but I hadn't heard anything more than what the announcer said about him communicating with the track officials down track just after the wreck.

All in all I had a blast.

[chevy eater]

should've come over,I didn't see you.
I am officially broke now too,spent too much money these last 2 weeks

[Na306StAnG]

Man today would have been a perfect day but for the wind!!! I ninja'd the swap meet :D

Awesome seeing everyone out there.

Sorry I had to split early, for the past week or so at 3ish I get these killer Migraine (sp) headaches. It sucks as Tylenol doesn't seam to help.

[shinysideup]

Damn, I missed seeing that grifter take his medicine.

[IwinUlose]

the wind really sucked wish i could have found some of y'all

[91Notch]

I I ninja'd the swap meet

Did you pick up any fuel injection parts? lolAnd yes that was a pretty damn hard hit that guy took.

[Frankie Figs]

After he got out of it, I looked at the Budwiser side and watched this car go backwards into the wall....

I think I've seen that car at the track before. Its pretty nasty, I wanna say it went something like 8.20's and he was pedaling it :-o I wish I didnt have to work nights, oh well :(

we all seemed to get killer headaches yesterday as well
good to see some of you guys and meet some new faces as well, Oldman nothing like I envisioned real good to meet ya

[StangItMan]

Had a great time --- windy, cold ...yep. Even found a dude with $2 bottled beer. Great race day!

Saw a few TR - ians... funny - one took my $$$ for gauges and did not even mention me in his thread :( :lol: .

Sure wish the TR folks would select a common spot at these events to say hello --- pleasure meeting the few, though. ;)


Going Saturday to Gator Nationals ... see ya there!

[Strokd85]

with the wind that strong i'm suprised they didn't cut it to an 1/8 mile...
sounds like the same type of situation that could bring about events of when Grebeck died.. strong winds, blowing sand, etc onto the top end just past the last set of bleachers..

[Na306StAnG]

Did you pick up any fuel injection parts?

I got a set of 24#'s and a C&L inlet pipe and matching mass air. And an MSD dizzy for fuel injection. And something called a Crower Baby cam its under 490 lift and its made for speed density cars... Or so i'm told.

You by any carb stuff? :nerd:

[91Notch]

You by any carb stuff? :nerd:

What the hell is a carburator :lol:

But I did find a carb style intake manifold I wanted for my car...of course
it had fuel injection ports

[Flastangs]

damn that black stang is used up...glad the driver was ok. It snowed sat here so yeah I wish I was at NMRA with all the TR crazies.

[Na306StAnG]

Is a fuel injection port like a fuel injector port???

[79 pace car]

where were all you guys? i didn't see any of you. i ran into frank today and hung out with jason and jay yesterday.

[Mars_302]

I saw JDL1000 in the car show area talkign with ppl today, saw old man yesterday and wickedcapri. I was sorta pissed with Maxiumum Motorsports booth, everything was order only. But what really got me mad was it 10% list and free shipping. Made me wish I had money and order a bunch of stuff.

[franktf]

[OldMan]

anyone got pics from saturday or of the burnout competition???

There were only three cars for the burnouts, but they did the best they could. The wind was so strong, it blew the smoke away before it could make a nice show. :(
