Got the FURIOUS making power on its own, so I will be there at the 20th. been a long hard winter but I think I am ready.

 

Good news Bob!!!!

 

I hope to see the 62 at Meltdown!!

 

Where is the reserved parking...on the blacktop or in the grass?

 

Hoping for good weather and a good turnout. I cant wait to make some passes in the chevelle. Its been a long time since i have had it out. I first raced it at the grove in 1984.

 

It is the whole new pavement section they put in. We will be able to park our trucks and trailers in the grass and have all the cars on display on the pavement.

 

In the southwest part of the pits

 

Don't think this will make me any faster but will look cool for night races . Trying to get ladder bars and floaters done next.

 

Don't get hypnotized by it.

 

I did have to stand there with a cold one and admire it for awhile. Been waiting a long time to get the insert and get it mounted. I've had the car 13 years

 

Your eyes are getting heavy

You are getting Sleepy at the line Salty

When the light turns Green, you will sing the ( Pow Wow the Indian Boy Song )

How many of you old farts remember the Pow Wow the Indian boy cartoons ?

 

We're ready... Fresh clutch, plugs, a tune.. Ran the valves..

This year is its last in this configuration. Bought a hilborn setup. Getting a Jericho, going on alcohol, more overdrive on the blower..

Dang Norb not sure I would be showing my age like that.

 

Over the hill means
The older I get - The faster I go

Picked up my new pinion yoke,1350 U-joint,and straps today.
Getting them in the car,and getting back after that funky linkage on the 3-4 shift too...
Rear housing is all welded out,axles are back in,and housing is back under the car.
Carbs should be ready in a few days.Switched from the 650's to some 390's for better drive ability and fuel economy.Should go well with the 3.50 gear.
Looking to take it down the street and see how the new neighbours like it in a week or so...

A 3.50 gear with 28" tall tire will be 5250 rpm @ 125 mph.

Do you have a deeper set for drag racing?

Don't make me burn up my old drum brakes, trying to make it look like a race.

Using them up all ready going down the hill I went over.

Scott.....sound like you have the safe tune in it.
I may have a race for you.

 

Don't believe a word that comes out of Scott's whorish mouth...

 

This could very well be the best car update yet. Sounds like the news on the tele. All complete bull shit. It's perfect.

... and I yanked the Chrysler out of my rail to convert it over to hybrid power, cause that gets better mileage ...

 

and i suppose you threw back in that stock 289 cam so she doesn't load up on you....

Scott - are you going to use those shims you got for Valentine's day?

 

#fakenews

 

The New owner has a Russian accent. and zis is da gear & carbs he vonts.

 

Will the next thing be offering Nigerian business investment opportunities worth tons of Canadian dollars?!?

 

I'm curious why?

Do YOU want them back to install in your car?

 

The funniest part is,it DOES have a 3.50 gear in it....but the 1st gear in that Doug Nash is a 3.50 ratio also,not the usual 3.27 ratio.
Also,the 4th gear is 1.33 ratio,so with the 3.50 gear in the 9",and the 1.33 ratio 4th gear in the Nash Trans,my final drive ratio is 4.66:1.
Part of the reason I went with the Nash,was so I could gear it like this,and leave the 1:1 5th gear for driving to and from the track when I'm at home and running at the two tracks that are within 45 minutes of the house.

Also,I am at least partly a big,fat,liar.....We swapped out the 650cfm carbs...for 750's.
Once I get this shifter issue straightened out,and take care of this clutch issue,things are going to be very close to ready.

Almost forgot: I scored a trailer last weekend,so we won't be U-Haul-ing it to the track any more.
Needs a bit of work,so the budget may take a beating
