UPDATE - BLAKE vs. BUZZARD!

[BLAKE]

Had a blast at the Drags this weekend... many thanks to the Kontinentals and to the FlyRite guys for the burgers and dogs on Sunday.

The flatty's fastest was 16.48 at 78.76 mph against one of Buzzard's 13-second runs... here's the UPDATED VIDEO (http://www.e-burwell.com/eburwell/images/DayDrags04/Blake_v_Buzzard3.MPG) .

Squank got to do a few mini-bike hot laps with KoolKat, EvilFordCoupe, and Flt-Blk... still got mud in my teeth!

KoolKat's mini is stupid fast...

HC

[Drive on]

I have clips of just about everyones run but no website to post it! I even got video of the minibike train racing down the side of the track with the announcer yelling "come on guys 5 miles an hour slow it down"..

My 8ba's best showing was 21.07 @ 63.24 MPH.....
I guess thats not too bad for a stocker running a single 94 surrounded by over 3000 lbs of steel.....

We had a blast too!!!!

All the riding on the mini-bikes makes me want one now. Thanks.

Thanks to all that came out to Flyrite on Sunday.

The Round Up '05 will be our last Un-Official grand opening barbq.

Not bad at all HC. I told ya you'd take the stock, 1 barrel, full body, flat head class. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

that things a runner Blake!
It's pretty cool to have the fastest flat head at the track.
in a street car that looks that good and get's driven all over hell and back.

makes you wonder what it would take to get your coupe close to the 15's.
I'm thinking maybe 4 1/2 inches http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[buzzard]

I redlighted so you still won! I was cutting some REALLY quick lights. Outlaws .523 lights can't hang with mine. I was down in the 3's! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks for the video. Cool thing is, Krupa was at the other end filming with his digi camera so I have to whole run. My shifts weren't that bad.

[BLAKE]

Thanks, and good point... 4-1/2 inches and one less carb would prolly get me there! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think Johnny Law was just sore that them golf carts couldn't catch the mini-bikes. If I had a dime for each time I got told to slow it down I could put a down payment on one o' them Manly Marty Mega-Beers!

HOTWHEEL - you and me... flatty's... next year.

BUZZARD - those shifts were sweet... nothing like that ol' Saginaw in '02! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[buzzard]

I wouldn't call 'em sweet, but not as bad as wingnutz made it sound. That shifter on the Saginaw was an adventure.

Edit: or as bad as Bass makes 'em sound.

Yeah...sweet just like my lovable ol' granny. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Just kidding...the Buzzard's coupe ran and sounded great this year. But I did hear crickets chirping and saw a tumbleweed roll through in between your shifts. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Not nearly as good as a guy that took off when the second bulb of the staging lights lit up...! (Ooops that was me at 16... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif!)

Top fuelers make complete runs in the time it takes you to get to the next gear... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif!!!!!

That's why I run automatics... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif!

Les'see..., "L" for Leap..., "D" for Drag..., "P" for Pass..., and "R" for Race...!

Yeah..., "That's the Ticket"...! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I've been sitting here trying to figure out how to get that video from the other end of the track hosted so I can post the link. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

The funnest thing is me filming the ground and saying "shit!" when that 13.90 was posted on the board. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Then you can hear me saying "way to go Steve!"

[BLAKE]

KRUPA - Email it to me and I'll edit it into my video... get the whole run in one take!

[FLAT-TOP BOB]

Your gonna have to come outta retirement next year and get your patch Bob.

Your 32 and buzz's 31 would be a heck of a race. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[G Griffin]

Blake, thanks for posting the video.
I was going to say the same thing about the chop...3-5" off the top should get you down the strip a hair faster!
Any video of "Squank"?

I'll be working on my '52 Ford all winter to get it ready for HC.

Man, I'm gettin' beat up here. Ya'll are just jealous. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[krupanut]

You got that right! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I gotta get to work on my roadster or I know I'm toast!

[BLAKE]

The video has been updated and posted on my site... luckily BUZZARD's shifts were pretty noticable in the audio, so it was easy to edit the two together, timing-wise! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

G-BOMB - I need to get the mini video from DRIVE-ON. By the way, this week we start on your Ford!

[Bass]

OK... after watching that again, I have to say that the 2nd to 3rd shift was pretty good, Steve.

But I think you must have dozed off between 1st and 2nd. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Great video guys!

[buzzard]

I'm sending that to my Mom. She'll tell me a great I did!


After all, she taught me how to speed shift!

[QQMOON]

Gotta Love the comentary by the photgrapher

[Bass]

Buzzard, it's funny you mention that...My mom actually was out there racing my dad's Marina Blue 66 Chevelle SS 396...with a Muncie 4spd! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

She didn't teach me how to speed shift though...it's genetic!

[buzzard]

That's Krupa. He was just as glad as I was that I ran the 13!

Of course, now we have to start back to work on his car to get it to hook up. He has a lot more motor, but zero traction. And that's with 2.70 something gears!

[stangzilla]

buzzard your car sounds great
the vidieo was the first time i got to here it http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Flatdog]

Blake nice car ,I would love to talk to you about you motor< >If you are hooked on the drags there is a lot more power to be found in that flattie.

Blake, u got it man. I think if I get me a good rear end under it, I should be able to get a good take off. Do you mind sharing your 60ft and 1/8 mile E.T. and Speed?
