FlatCad Racing's Quest for 200 MPH-a Cadillac Flathead Story!

I feel MUCH better now.
I couldn't shift it the first day out 2 years ago so if the owner still can't shift it, I guess the problem wasn't all me. LOL

 

Haha! You're a mean guy! I knew I was gona take crap, but......LOL!

HAHAHAHA!

Pete, It wasn't my finest driving, but I truly don't feel bad, as the car ran strong, straight, and true!

I paid a LOT of attention to the gauges and car, but screwed the pooch on the shifting. In fact, if you watch the speedo, you'll see it shows a top speed of 187. When the push truck showed up to pick me up, the congratulated me, and said we had qualified,I called BS, because I had been watching things, and could tell them my speeds through the run. I told them I thought we had averaged about 184 through the 3, and really didn't think we had qualified, until I saw the printed speeds.

Come to find out, the GPS speedo is 2 mph slower than the traps! Lol!

 

Hey Buddy come down to Eagle and I'll let ya run the dragster, its got a c4 ......................

 

PHHHHFFFFFT!

 

Hey, that's OK Buddy, ask Carl how many times he has rebuilt that C-4.

Not again, man, I'm sorry if I jinxed you. Are you going to be OK for Eagle Field?

 

No problem Tom will be there with the ICT also this time.............

 

You guys crack me up!

I'm pretty excited! I made a deal yesterday on a new 'house' for the FlatCad. It should make hauling and working on the car easier!

 

CONGRATULATIONS ,, now u need a bigger truck,,

 

We've also affectionately named it "The Timeout Trailer" - that way when Buddy and I lock horns, we can be sent for a 'timeout', while the rest of the crew gets something accomplished in peace!

Not that we've ever expect to need it for that . . . okay, maybe often!

Great Job Buddy -- This will be a big help to the project!

 

Damn! I have "trailer envy" now.

 

Don't Tim-My wife actually wanted me to get one, and is taking care of it.

She's a keeper!

 

Hey Tim . . . they have operations for that!

 

Damn, that's a nice hauler you got, bet it won't take long to fill it up with all the gear. Now you need to get the T-shirt logo painted on the side.

 

Tom, the logo, along with alll of the major sponsor logos, will be on the trailer!

 

Wow Buddy, a very nice addition. A good owner would just add air conditioning and we're off, huh Dale.............

 

Towing that thing fully loaded over the mountains is gonna be a bitch! What are you towing it with?

 

I figured it would be. You have a high class operation going on there.

 

Dodge diesel-it'll be all right!

 

It's a CUMMINS brah!

That's a sweet trailer! just need a few fold up bunks......

 

Buddy I have some spare C-4's if your looking for one! Just think you could eliminate that clutch pedal to gain more room in the car LOL

 

PHHHHFFFFFT! LMFAO!

 

A CHEVY Would be BETTER !!!!! LOL

 

Ya.... ON the trailer where it should be!

You guys are funny-keep it up!

In the mean time, Randy and I got the engine out of the car and on a shipping pallet. The engine is headed to Don's shop. I'll fly out there on the 20th, and Don and I will dismantle the engine.

Lock-N-Stitch is just around the corner from Don, so we'll drop the block off there for repair.

My goal is to get the engine back together by December, and on the dyno by January. We're not planning any engine changes this year, just repair, and test and tune!

Aero, on the other hand, will continue to be attacked!

 

I can't wait to see the next version!
