Default Speedworld 4/14

I was out at Speedworld with my '70 tonight and saw some really nice F-Bodies and a Vette. That white Vette was pretty damn sweet! I think I know what I want my next motor to be now I had a great time and accomplished my goal for the'70, for now.... Next, get the damn clutch in the '01 broken in. Was there many other people out the from this site?

The air was pretty decent last night. The DA ended up at about 1800ft. I just wish the track was a little stickier and had some more VHT on it. Would have been better if there was more cars with slicks.

Yep, that was me in the '70 (Blue w/silver stripes) and the Impala was my buddy. I've got a 406 na SBC in it. I'm really thinking about spraying it but not sure if I want to put a cage in it. I can't even decide which plate to go with if I do go that route. All in all I was pretty damn happy with the way the car ran. I know I've still got some more left in it thru suspension tuning and carb tweaking. Thanks for the compliments. What was your best time last night? Were you the one with the black stripes on the ram air hood? I spoke to the guy in the vette and he said that you have a MS3 in it, how do you like it?

Both of those cars moved out very well. I remember standing next to blaze and both of us where impressed. Short of not hooking, it was a great night.

Jeff- Maybe this sat we can have some on the street.

When are you going to get your first gen done? I think that thing is worse then the vette when it comes to living on jack stands. I would love a stab at SGP again. I will even plat his from a roll game.
