#281
I got a wicked sinus cold tonight so I definately won't be out. Hopefully I'll be out next weekend with my new wheels. Who's Silver Z-28 is it?
Did anyone go to Holt this weekend? Ben did Raegan run her car? How'd it do? Talk to everyone later.

Thomas, if its the Cobra I'm thinking about he was either going half throttle or he was spinning the whole way. I've only seen one yellow Cobra with a Cobra R Wing and body kit around here.
He showed me his setup, pushing WAY over 500 to the ground. lol. Wish I could have come out last night, I still feel like my head is going to pop. Later

Who knows, but if there are two yellow Cobra R replica's running around in the same town that's crazy. This guy wanted to race me just for kicks, (I politely declined) and then showed me his engine, lol.
Anyways good death, were you at Shoe Station saturday? I saw your car but couldn't find you.
Hope everyone else had a good time this weekend, I hate being sick, next weekend I'll have my car polished and waxed, my new wheels on and ready to cruise, I hope the weather is as nice as it was this weekend. Later

Thomas, they are chrome ZR1's. 17x9 with 275/40 in the front and 17x11 with 315/35 in the back.
I don't see many T/A's driving around on ZR1's so I thought I'd try it out. Plus black and chrome are always a good combo. Hopefully there as clean as the pictures he sent and this guy didn't rip me off. They should be in Wednesday, so hopefully they will be on by this weekend.

I was at Holt on Saturday. Monty Todd's 55 Chevy alcohol funny car went 3.91 @183. A jet dragster showed up unannounced and went 3.73 @ @215 mph. We also had a tribute to a fellow F-body owner that passed away. He raced reguarly and he owned a 10th anniversary edition Firehawk. Great show.
I didn't make it out Friday putting torque converter in until 1am. I went Saturday. and the car was launching great but it would fall on its face about 20 feet out and the pick back up again in another 60 feet. I coulndn't figure out why but it did it 4 times. running 9.30's with 2.30 60 foot. then instead of just stomping the throttle I launched at a grand and rolled into the throttle went new PB of 1.78 60 foot with a 8.11 @ 84.8 mph (was running high 8.50's before TC). Come to find out that my battery wasn't securely mounted and it was rocking back and gounding out against the ac canister when I launched causing my whole electrical sytem to short. Being able to launch at 3 grand and stomp it I hope to see 7.9's not bad for a airlid, catback and torque converter car on M/T streets.

I may get out tonight, but the forecast doesn't look promising, plus I still have to beat my wheel wells in on a few places . Hopefully I can get it done and have the car washed in time, I'd like to try and stop by BK at least.

BK? Maybe, maybe not. Hmmm. Kinda my life story right now. I spent all week (6 until midnight every day )working on my friends Mustang, I'm still tired. Raegan and I may get a wild hair up our *** and come show off our new addition to the stable. Unfortunately, it's a Ford. But better than a LEMON!!! Let me know who is heading out. It may help get us out there to BK.
Luke, get that mallet out and start beating.
Andrew, Monday sounds good. It should only take us 2-4 hours, as long as all goes well.

Ben have I told you recently that you're my idol? So now you have a fantastic home with an awesome garage; a soon-to-be fully built 408 race motor in a WS6; A FireHawk built for the 1/4 mile (that your wife drives ) A Ford Lightining and Chevy Suburban.
You have to let me have a crack at that Lightining, have yet to run one stock. Plus I have to see how my 315 BFG drag radials hooks up.
EDIT:: A work appt. popped up so I probably will not be able to make it out tonight. Hopefully it will run short. If not then I guess everyone will make it without me there, lol.
