  3. If it was Winder - an Armadillo will do.


    A/C ? All pre 65 here :D not much deodorant either. We prefer hairy women too.

    Hey Quain - I'm not trying to keep from tearing shit up o_O Are 392's supposed to turn 9 grand? Does this void the warranty?

  6. Had a great time meeting new people and hanging out with everyone sat. A little more seat time Tony and you will have it down. Can't wait to see ya run again at the meltdown. How'd the ol truck run on the way home have any more trouble? We got back home a little after 7 pm tonight we had to make a pit stop in St louis on the way home so it took a little longer

  9. Hated to leave the track early - we left at 9pm before the final. Got home at 2am. No troubles on the way home. Would do it again in a heart beat. Man you guys really pulled a long haul :eek: and really glad you did. Enjoyed hanging out with you guys and gals. What did you think of the South :) its COUNTRY out in some parts. I love it down here. Bring PBRMEASAP with ya next time :rolleyes:

    Yeah its starting to sink in what I'm doing wrong - been to 3 races - 3 different start lights - Greer .500 full tree - Union - flag UP start - not DOWN - Knoxville - .400 pro tree and if you get 'double bulbed' stuff goes fast! Learned about that this weekend. :confused: And lastly I've had 3 different shifter arm positions on the car. Needs moved 1 last time. Then maybe .....

  10. You sure are keeping it exciting aren't you Tony! Sounds like you've about got it all figured out. With Dirty and the delivery.

    Greer and Knoxville were both .400 pro tree's Tony. You must have been excited your first time out LOL. Or maybe they forgot to switch the tree over if you was first pair out or something. Anyway this deal ain't easy and I didn't want it to be, these things are hard to drive. Don't feel bad you will get it. The hard part was building it most can't or won't do that. Oh yea Union was flag up because that's the way it was in the 60's I don't know where that flag drop came from, that TV show I guess.

  13. Good day! Like a big puzzle man, just keep workin' the pieces. Fun day!
     
  14. Hhahaha! No kidding Greer was a Pro Tree? :D That whole experience was a blur :D it was a good blur though.I'm glad its hard, its something that will take years to get good at - even half way good at.

    Here are some pics that 3dnsouth took.

    Tony, I'm glad I could help get you to the parts store...I just wish I had come by sooner! You guys absolutely win the coolest (or would hottest be more appropriate?) tow vehicle award. The race was a lot of fun, and I gotta say that I'm hooked. Time for me to find a suitable car and start building one of these things!
     
  19. This is right up your alley Tommy! You will be hooked :) Once you are hooked you'll find a way to make it happen. Now we need to get Tudor hooked :rolleyes:

  21. Yeah Jeff things aren't what they seem some times. I had my suspicions when Kim said she didn't want to go to Knoxville. Then when I found this on a UFO site, it makes sense now, the smell of hyper drive, the crop circle weeds in her shoes. Turns out this little shitz name is Martin - or that's what's on his Outer Facebook page.

    So last night I was getting the trash cans from the curb and heard something in the garage.

    That little purple twerp :mad: I went to get the 410 Snake Charmer and when I came back he was gone. He pulled a wire out the mag. This shit's going interstellar.

    Tony great seeing you making passes in the old car. Will take sometime for sure these things are not just setting in a seat holding a steering wheel. Lots of work and you have to really drive them. That's what makes it fun because not everyone knows how too or can drive them. I bet that hemi was scraming at 9,000 I know I spin mine a lot but has small parts in it and the crowd loves to hear it. I try to keep it off the rev limiter makes for a better sound. Get the shifter worked out and go to banging it will make a huge diffrence.

  25. Thanks Jimmy! Good seeing you there and beating on the wagon. I see you are 5th in points! :) You do have your game dialed in. You are right about having to drive it - if your just 'meat in the seat' - it ain't happening. I was eliminated and think I shut my head off and was done for the day. Then Alley Cat said "Hey lets make a grudge pass". Man my mind was not there :( the car was not going to do the driving for me. It was bad. o_O I didn't hit 9 grand in gear, let's put it that way.:eek: Hope to see you on the 20th at Shady Side!

    I haven't been anywhere this year so I've missed all the good stuff. Having a stick makes everything more fun. Are you working on dry hops yet?

  30. That's awesome! I asked him to get some pics of the tire wadding if he could. That's 11.5 psi . Can't bring myself to drill the Palamides yet :confused:
