Looking at my summer schedule, this is when I'll be coming down to make some noise. :D

Should have most of the bugs out by then, as I've got 4 local racing weekends booked between now and then.

It's a Friday and Saturday TNT apparently, http://www.bremertonraceway.com/ so hopefully good for a bunch of runs. I'm guessing Mike will have the 327 '70 running by then, Kevin will have the 427 nicely broken in by then, all Greg's ignition, driveshaft and nitrous demons should be sorted out by then, George should have one of his 2 rides ready by then, Loader should have his cam issues sorted out, and the rest of you will have a month and a half to improve upon what's already working well for you. :yes:

So I'll be there...as long as I don't blow up before then. :noway:

Cheers :beers:

I'll put it on my schedule. I might try to hit a couple local truck yards tomorrow to see if I can find a deal on an aluminum 3.5" driveshaft. I'm pretty sure my DS loop by Dave will clear 3.5" by the looks of things.:)

Once I get that taken care of I'll see if the module helped my high rpm issue.
If not.. I'll make an appointment with the Doc for valve spring shims.:yes:

I'll be there for sure John, that's BC Super Shifter weekend. I'm heading to Forks early in the AM to race 1/8th mile for the weekend. My problem is fixed. It was a low cost ignition problem, but high blood pressure frustration finding it.

Lookin' forward to seeing you then! Hey, I keep forgetting to tell you that when you made that pass on those Drag Radials at Bremerton, I had just did all the wheel and tire swapping when I went to slicks. I didn't even think to tell you that I had no idea what the tire shop boys airred them up to. I just threw them in the truck. When you asked me what tire pressure I ran, I didn't think to tell you to check them. After your run, while blowing the tires off, I recall you telling me that they had 24, 28 lbs. in them or something like that. I was seeing red :mad: inside with trying to figure out my problem, and didn't think to tell you how they had that much air in them.

Wow! That's a lot of typing.......:D

Spent the better part of 5 hours hooking up all the nitrous wiring last night. Thanks Greg and Brian for the help.

Next car I build, I'll plan to do all the wiring before I install the roll cage. I was doing the Houdini under the dash installing all the connectors and switches.

Kinda digging the illuminated switches, buttons, solenoids...but most of all that shiny blue bottle. :yes:

Looking forward to a few test runs before hitting the flight deck at Bremerton.

Mark, you're welcome to make a couple passes in my car if you want. Just don't wear nice clothes, though. It's a grubby little race car. :cool:

You know, if a handful of guys offered you their rides for a pass or two, you'd probably give the other Greg a run for his money for most timeslips in a day.

I agree with the others. This would be an excellent time to fly out. Sounds like there's going to be big TC representation at this event.

Rumor has it that Loader and I are bringing some of our own Special Campfire Juice. :beers: Maybe we could delegate you to scare up a couple of those good cigars.

Why am I spotting you again?:noway:

I've only got one bottle and I've heard that I'll only get 8-9 passes using 125jets. Believe me, just because I think the car will go low 12's eventually doesn't mean I expect anywhere close to that first time out. We may be a better run than you think.

So who is leaving when for the races? Will everyone be pulling their cars on trailers? I think the 12:00 through Everett works great.
Greg- I know you were talking about having access to a trailer but nothing to pull it with. I was thinking we should rent a U-Haul van and pull one of the cars down and be able to pull one (Heaven forbit we break something) home. It shouldn't very much between us. Heck, if anyone from up North breaks this would be a good option. Let me know what you think...:cool:

Only true if your racing, just have to wipe off any numbers and say you where there watching. Most of the tow truck guys don't care, but they have to have it look legit to get paid by AAA.

Let's check into this Frank. My access would be a u-haul trailer so maybe we can just rent them as a package? I know the van is 19.95 a day, I think the trailer is 29.95

I do have access to a car trailer but he keeps it in Yakima so it would be cheaper to rent one than to go get it.

I actually jumped my fronts from 33's to some fancy 35's with legs. I then rotated my secondary squirter cam to the second position and that brings those squirters in a LOT faster. It is VERY noticable when I mash it.

Speaking of squeeze... :D
I picked up a 30amp relay (under $10 at Action) and ordered my nitrous blow down tube and valve, and a 14" K&N filter to replace my paper one.

I also moved my fuel presure gauge back under the hood but was careful to not let it thread in too far again. (I think in the future I'll pick up a different dual feed set up).

Took my car to work yesterday for show and tell (I was on a vacation day but needed a Buick fix:yes:). I took one of my co-workers for a ride on a deserted road near our shop. This guy has been drooling over a '68 Chevelle that we are watching go to seed in a guys front yard over here for about the last year, ever since he's been following the progress of my motor build.... matter of fact I'm trying to get him to come along for S&G's on the 22nd.
He had an Impalla years ago but nothing real fast.

Anyway...I jumped on it hard and he was like :eek: I told him that was 7200 in 1st and 6000 in 2nd... he said that he expected it to be fast but $@%*!!! :D

I jumped on it once more and he was all :D
I said it's kind of an adreniline rush isn't it. :yes:
I told him after I get my relay wired into my nitrous system I'll take him for another ride with an additional 125hp.
He was ready to go again and was all smiles. He shook my hand while thanking me for taking him for a ride.:D

Not needed for your car yet.....

yah I did get them, they aren't going to hurt. I had a friend thats an old bracket racer look at my slips and. he ask me if it felt like in 3rd if it kind "nosed over" and I said yes, he said that I was running out of fuel. The extensions were like $15. so ???

oh and maybe in the future 9's will come:hurray: and it's $15 less I have to spend then

Call Berg right now so he can scream at you for not beating his motor to death:D.

Come on Kevin, no leaks, squeaks, problems. I was making passes after 15 miles. Mine isnt any more exotic than yours.

I just made a kind of half throttle 1/8th mile pass because of a vibration that is gone now, then gave her hell the next pass.

Are you kidding, this is the guy who couldn't stop himself from trashing the front tires on his 120hp scion becuase his chevelle wasn't at the burnout contest... Do you really think that while he's surrounded by guys at monroe thrashing on their cars that he won't play a little? :noway:
