Sounds like there was a lot of "Slick Track" Racing going on down there! The tracks up north have 55 Gallon drums of VHT (Very Sticky Stuff!) because of the cooler track temps. But when the track is bad ..., "it's very bad"! Sometimes you'd be able to launch "OK" because of the VHT, but you could loose it at mid-track just past the VHT...! At that point you have a handful of trouble! Krupanut..., Man your car looks "Serious Business" with the black rims and the slicks!!! But you definitely need the gears and the posi for sure...! Mark
[ QUOTE ] HOTWHEEL - I didn't get a chance to say HEY at the drags, but we talked for while outside the CC on Friday night - you gave a pretty convincing sales pitch for the 5-inch chop (!). Just wanted to say that it was good talking to you, and your coupe is the shiznit! [/ QUOTE ] 62Bufford - It was great talking with you too! I don't know if you knew that I'm a flathead guy too....so you know I was freaking over your flatty power'd coupe! Awsome rides man, awesome rides! Reggie
Thanks, Kontinentals for the good times... you all are very cool hosts. I took a buttload of pics... i got every pair up from the brackets.. every round at the start.. they will be up on my site pretty soon. I was great to meet all the hambers down there, if any of ya'll come to chicago, i can intro you around and give you the 50cent tour. gawd i am tired! Next year.. maybe i will have a car down there to run.. just maybe...
Magnet, sorry I missed ya. I saw ya, well I saw your name on your coat. I meant to say sumpthin but I was kinda preoccupied with the non running Fly.
Thanks Chris!!! You sure you want to cut up that nice car of yours??? I would be more than happy to help when your ready. -Jason Yeah, that little coupe looks kick butt. Couldn't get over how nice that chop turned out. Whatcha doin next weekend Evil? I'll provide the beer and sawzall.
Magnet Enjoyed meeting you and can't wait to see the pics. The stuff that you took at the Round Up was great.
hey you guys thanks..for giving me the chance to kill off first gear and bend some more push rods on the ol'ford 6's last pass.i knew i was yanking her out this winter...now theres no way around it.next year ill have two more cylinders and better throttle linkage.so watch out now.
I just wanna see the Evilfordcoupe make a full tilt boogie pass next year. Gotta get that floor, cage, doorlatches etc in so the Tech man will turn you loose. I think the tech guy was kinda uncomfortable with 25 or 30 of us standing around begging for just 1 pass. Oh well, you impressed the hell out of a lot of people. That is one badass car!! Mr Webster needs to put a picture of it in the dictionary next to the word ATTITUDE! Damn Saturday was fun!!!
The poncho will be there next year! I will probably run somewhere in the 19's (j/k) thanks to the straight 6 it currently has, but not for long....looks like a lot of fun was had and cannot wait to share the fun and a Lone Star!
I cannot wait till next year!!!! The floor and door latches can be done easily, but I need a tube bender for the cage. Anyone within reasonable driving distance want to help with it??? -Jason
Where's Porkchop been? He fabs roll cages. Or I have a big old electric tube bender here at work. Bends up to 2 in tubing We might could do some bends here or rent it for a week and bend at the shop.
WOW! 7 fuckin pages already....Anyway, A big ol' Outkasts thank you to the Kontinentals fer puttin on 1 helluva beer-drinkin-drag-racin-girly-dancin-Texas-rockin-good-time! More thanks to outlaw fer puttin me up fer 2 days and just bein kool. Jason: Ya got a killer shop and a killer coupe! I had a great time thrashin with ya and everybody else on the coupe friday night could do thast 24-7 but it wouldn't pay da bills. About da tube bendin' there's an Outkast member with a hot rod shop and 30+ years expereince tweekin metal that I could talk to ifin ya don't mind the distance. I've been playin around with yer font in my cad program and yer shit's gonna look kool! Travis; great ta meetcha, Pm me yer addy and I'll mapquest it, then talk to my truckin buddy bout comin out there fer them '60 parts we talked about. Marty: had a great time kool ta meetcha. I need ta come up yer way fer sum ink and a cruise in yer thunderchickin. Everybody else I talked to or drank with, I had a great time. Even though I lost most of my voice saturday and had ta call it an early night cuz of it ( and couldn't git tore up with my Outkasts brothers) The whole weekend was fuckin great! burned up the tranny in my truck coming home sunday but I'm enrolled in the White's Garage Roadside Assistance Program. That thing needs a turbo 350 anyway.
