So are you going to hit 12's before the track closes or next season?

I could easily hit 12's the next time they are open if I wanted. But I have a ton of other projects and stuff to get done, so I doubt it happens this year. I have made some "small" changes to the car since the 13.5's. 2.76 to 2.94's, removed front sway bar, hood scoop and I'm going to help it breath more fresh air with the cleaner I've ordered, plus it was like 87*/73% humidity that day, so I should see a small improvement in the weather. I would say 13.4's, maybe a 13.39 now?... LOL

Just got back home after 3 days at my mothers.
Had to replace the trac bar and the pitman arm tie rod end to get rid of the death wobble.
Then the wipers wouldn't work. Drove it home anyway. No rain just high winds.

Pictures of the new ride?
:thumbsup:
 
light rain today, heavy rain last night. Honestly, the weather is just making it almost impossible to get to the track. And it seems if there is a weekend to go, then it's a special event and no TnT. Not looking good. And if we get an early snow and the salt, the cars are put away until some good rains wash the salt away. I have a few more weekends to try, and this year is over.

I'm hearing you we're having a really weird summer as well and I mean it was very cold today very unseasonable....

yeah, and I mean I got a lot done to the car in between the weather and living life. Still going to stab at every opportunity to get the car down to the track. Jaba's motor/tranny is in, so I believe this race still has a great chance of going down at the track, but it may end up being "out of town" on a back road?? LOL. :D :D
 
161 pages, months and months have gone by, summer is officially over.......time to just suck it up and admit........it ain’t gonna happen.

Put a fork in it.

"summer" quote in the title was obviously a miss. But I think I've stated this before, this 2019 race was this years "race season" at the track. Track is still open through October, and even November if weather permits (unlikely on the weather...lol).

I have a long road in front of me. These guys already have cars together and running. Mine is still in a million pieces cuz of all the setbacks from the wannabe engine builders that I have had work on my engines. But other than the tires and a few things like gaskets and seals I believe I have everything to put a couple of cars together.

And just in a little fairness to Jabs, read what I quoted from his 1st post of this race. He stated in the beginning of all of this he had a long road ahead of him. And besides no cooperation with the weather, and life itself, I'll also add this, he isn't as "young", shall we say?? :D And I'll say it, maybe a little procrastination down there, but so what? This race was meant to be fun, and only fun - meaning it happens on our pleasure with no pressure. At least Jabs has stuck with it, and is still working towards making this happen - even if we line up next Spring - hats off to him! :) He is no quitter.

as stated on post 4014, Summer race wasn't a "date" on the calendar, but rather this race season. IF we would have raced in the Spring, nobody would have said we were early, but if we race in the Fall, were late? LOL
 
I was under the impression that this was all about a couple of guys having fun. When it happened it would be talked about. But like any big upcoming PPV event, gotta have all the **** talking, and pokes between the contenders. 318HVWF has been pretty much ready from the start. J Par, dropped out, and Jada has had quite a bit of life that got in his way. It's all about fun, I have enjoyed the ride, just kick back, read on and let's see what happens. I am pretty sure, their is going to be something good.
 
I mean as much as the next guy, I want to see valves flying out of tailpipes. I want to see a stock 360 dart sport yank the front wheels, of course only for a second because it will be time to shift. 4.88 gears, and 5,000 converter in a stock 360 vs. 2.76 gears, d@mn near stock 360 and stock converter... I understand why everyone is on the edge of their seats... Holeshot Harry vs. The Valveslinger himself is going to be the showdown of the century...

And keep in mind, Holeshot Harry is well aware of my .001 light on my last time out - and ET slip I posted :D :D

How did you win? Your top secret heads don't even fit??? I ain't sure yet how tame your clutch is... So the way I see it, you are spinning off the line somehow, with absolutely no compression, and a tunnel ram in the trunk.

This reminds me of a neighbor down the road. We live out in the sticks. Neighbor used to race 4 cylinder circle track cars. One day for about a 1/2 hour, he was out in the lot beside his house making laps. My kids asked why is he doing that? My wife replied " He thinks he's Winning!"
