Default Oldtimers who are MIA, what are they up to?

I'll start with my list...

Keith Moore - Sold his car?
Dave Potter - Sold his car?
BeaSSt - Had motor problems?
Mic5ey - Building a C5R motor featured in GMHTP? Car running?
Pain?
Ralph Gobel?
Noone - Sold his car?
SJH/ Steve Harmon - Still around?
Jason Jordan - Out of the scene
Brooke/ Redhawk?

Who else am I forgetting?

Keith Moore's Motor gave up in WickedSS and he sold the car about a year or so ago. Also heard he has bought another one just recently.

The Madman/3D car was sold when 3D went under. Rick from NX bought the car. Funny thing is the nitrous man is putting a SBC 100 mm turbo on it.

Colonel's car is back together running. They're making good numbers with it and are finding more and more power with it every minute. I'm sure it'll be out in the next few months. They just want to get the most out of it before debuting the car.

Baxter? I dunno heard he was gonna be at a couple of different places but never saw him.

Chris Marsh? Is the dude still alive :p

Guido? That punk pulled out and didn't give me the chance to hand it to him, man I would have loved for him to let me have the car for a week and run a solid 8, which would have been easy with that combo. Opps.... You didn't ask about yourself... lol

I spoke with Judson this morning and we should have it in our hands by next Friday. It was finished in June but they are very busy and other motors were on the dyno. I had to take a number.

Pain?


For the most part my car is finished. It's running with a base tune, so it can be fired up, and moved around. There are very few odd, and ends to finish up.

Let's see... Married, now wife is pregnant, just bought first house, still moving in...car is on hold, and has dropped WAY down on the priority list.

Larry,

I need to get my wife (Sheila) with your wife and do a little restructureing of your priority list. It seems that it is way out of wack.LOL. It was good seeing you again at Big John's B-day party. If Sheila would go a little lighter on the SS we could get more race time in. The Ol' Grocery getter is a little weak in the knees , but I think old faithful MTI is going to come through for us AGAIN. Those darn 10s are a bit rough on a lil' 346 stock bottom end with a wild woman at the wheel. Hope to see ya'll soon.

SJH is still around. I saw him posting in the FI section not too long ago. He's pushing that little Vortech for all it worth. Steve is a good guy and loves to tinker it seems like(perfect for FI).

NineBall - sold his drag car and bought two show cars. Other Houston-area bracket racers threw a party once they discovered they could start winning events and trophies once again

I'll build another drag car, but the next one will be a trailer queen with only a single purpose

smartass. LMAO
Oh yeah, I sold the shortblock, headers, turbo, speed pro, fuel pump and a few other small things to a close friend who has a better set of heads, and a solid roller being made to work with it.

If you thought my car was solid 8's, well it will make even more power in his car. LOL

Matt sold his Incon twin kit and is working on a little project of his own.

Terry had a little P/V clearance problem with his stock shortblock heads/cam project and I think that he is trying to get back into a C5.

Eric (NoOne) sold his Incon car and is building a turbo Mazda to use for road racing.
