Has anyone heard that pinks all out is coming to pacific on Aug.19th?:hurray:Its on the speed channel/pinks web site.I saw it on the NPSA web site.Any thoughts?

If it does come I will go watch but not sure if I would run the chevelle. They always seem to pick the 10-10.5 class and Im no were near that YET;) But never say never. Would be cool to see the car on TV huh.:D

If I remember right you have to be capable of a certain time to even register. Does anyone remember what it is? Man that would make for a great TCNW outing.

TOG

I'll have two N/A low 10's and 9's on the giggle gas.

I'll have two N/A low 10's and 9's on the giggle gas.

GEEEZZE by then you should have more than 2 capable of that:D

GEEEZZE by then you should have more than 2 capable of that:D

Numbers based on possible under achieving motors. You know mine never run as good as they should. :D ;)

I will be there with my new 461 or i'll run my friends 1941 willys truck "chiily willy" it ran a 9.18 untuned 5 years ago

i will be there with my new starbucks vest or i'll play with my friends chiily willy,

huh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!!That is as close as its going to get to me, any idea what the E/T entry would be?

I would say slowest range may be high 10's and down to the 9's but they could select about anything.

so how does that work? you have to run a certain e.t. to even run that day???????

I think everybody runs and they select a certain grouping of cars.

That would be cool to get your elky yarding the front tires next year.

They have done a couple of 12.5,and a few 11sec fields

I may have to bring a third car and cover that range too.

They have done a couple of 12.5,and a few 11sec fields

Woo Hoo !!!

I can cover both those #'s :D

I'm in...just Rich might not want my ugly duckling on his show ;)

If I sell enough of my crap,the wagon should be ready.Hopefully i can cover those fields

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo IN!!!!!!!!!

It sounds like are first TCNW scheduled outing date for 2009 will be the weekend of August 15th at Pacific.
TOG

Why would We wait till August?

I did not mean this date would be our first of the year. Just the first one scheduled. When Bremerton comes out with their 2009 schedule the opener will probable be the first of the season :yes:.

TOG

What happened to Your Initials?

dude im all over the 12.5 class maybe even dip somehwere into the elevens. if they only have the 10.0 class i guess ill built the 454 but only if i have to :D hah doc you should just bring 9, 10 and 11 second cars to have the whole range figured out the only hard part would be to narrow down your selections in those fields

Too bad they dont have a 15 second class for George. ;)

I'm no where near consistent or fast enough to go for pinks. I wouldnt even bother embarrasing myself. I havent even proven that my car can make it down the track more than 2 times in a day.

I'll just make passes in all three and cover every window.

Hey guys did you notice the 19th is a Wednesday. I looked on Pinks website I think it;s the 15th of August

Lol sorry George, but I'm an engineer. I dont believe it until I see it and we havent seen your car race anything faster than 15s... :sad::boring:

:D ;) Are we going to FINALLY see the vette out there too?

Lol sorry George, but I'm an engineer. I dont believe it until I see it and we havent seen your car race anything faster than 15s... :sad::boring: :D ;)

The sad fact of the matter here is that you are correct about the 15 second passes with the 350....in 06 and 07. The new reality is that I will not sleep in 09 until I have fendered you.....
I will be launching HARD and you will have to try to run me down.... You will be like this :eek::eek: when you are looking at my tailgate ahead of you on the strip.....
Interesting that you up your cam as soon as I get my 454 in the car.....
I think you are worried about covering my new performance potential:yes:

sorry george my moneys on Brett. He made over 400hp at the wheels with his old cam and compression. who knows he may have slipped a 4.25" crank in there too

Pinks All-out has done slower groupings too, i saw one the other night where they were running 13 second cars.... Never seen slower than that though.

Lol, no 4.25" crank Paul.

George, Maybe I broke a piston too just because I knew you were putting a 454 in your car... ;) Rememeber, You created this monster. I wanted to go small block until you worked hard to convince me to go bigger.

Brett,

The threads have been totally dead for the last week. Maybe even two weeks.
Without my 350 Elky, or snail-like progress on the 454 parts-gathering/build, you guys have little to comment on! So, why NOT talk a little smack....liven the place up a bit!!!

Re swapping things out...I think Paul got scared too! He knows he's got a whippin coming....

So George, whats faster? The vette or the camino?

Which is faster?
So far, the Vette. This is because the Vette kinda/sorta gets traction.....
The Elky simply destroys the tires on the cold and damp streets....does not help that the arse of the Elky is up in the air....we'll see with a few bolt-ons....and car stance changes....

I do think that the RatVette vs my Elky would be interesting...but they are totally different experiences due to height, seat shape, driving position, 4-spd vs auto.....'seat of the pants dyno' is hard-pressed to tell...would have to line em up and run em.

I have the DS header of the Elky 1/2 out.....doing some repairs on it this evening....with "propest" John. Currently defrosting from my earlier trip to the garage and earlier pressure-washing Part II on the RV pad.

I think George should have to race us in order of displacement.
That way he can dial in his tuning stuff against us slower easier to beat SBC guys.:yes:

George still owes me a vette race... :yes:

George still owes me a vette race... :yes:

Now that I have a few $$$ coming in not earmarked for remodel, or kid tuition, or or or...the Vette will get the 'above 55' severe wandering fixed over the winter/pre-season spring. Worry about the RatVette is what really caused you to beat your 1st attempt at 454 to smithereens. :boring: I suppose I should at least have the headers on it when I run you due to our cams being so big of a difference.

See now things are lively again on TCNW

You gotta actually show up before things get interesting/lively... :D

I'm gonna throw up before things get interesting/lively... :D

What?

"All out" will be in Bakersfield after the Washington meet. I will be there for sure to watch. That is one hell of a good Race day, ALL day..:yes:

Woo Hoo !!!

I can cover both those #'s :D

I'm in...just Rich might not want my ugly duckling on his show ;)

Your ride aint as ugly as some of those right coast cars I've seen on the show, you'll can count on me an Taz supporting the SBC world at the all out fer sure!!!:thumbsup::cool:

..the Vette will get the 'above 55' severe wandering fixed over the winter/pre-season spring.

I think the cause is the elderly guy behind the wheel. LOL!

Re swapping things out...I think Paul got scared too! He knows he's got a whippin coming....

from a sb nova :D

There ya go PNB, keep it up!
Let's liven the threads up!

Doc, will throw the old TAs on from the Elky onto the Vette...see how much of that high speed snaking is the old school tires.

hey I'll take Barista over Party City

hey I'll take Barista over Party City
party city.... temp job im back to 18 dollars an hour and a 5 grand bonus:hurray:

Now Kids, stop fighting!

So PNB, what little parts do you need for your 454?
I have a spare Oil Filter mount and bolts, probably some pulleys....

Ben, I didnt know you were building a 454.

Dont forget I have a nice water pump, fuel pump, stock pulleys, lunati cam and lifters, roller tip rockers, hei ignition etc.

Brett,

PNB bought the 454 .040-over shortblock from me that I had traded stuff to get from DB. This was several months ago...the weekend that you, ahm, broke down en route to the freeway from the track at Bremerton.

Funds from this little transaction allowed me to get my spare 454 outa the machine shop, and get it into the Elky.....

Yes, Brett has parts, I have a few things, Mike P has a few odds and ends. Of course, DOC has somewhere between a bunch and a shi+load of BBC stuff.....

Ben, I didnt know you were building a 454.

oh yeah ill keep that in mind im kinda tryin to put it together a little bit under the radar. i have the whole shortblock i just need heads and intake i got some tins (timing chain oil pan pulleys) from mike p i have marks old cam, lifters, springs retainers. im still doin some pondering and thinkin how wild im gonna go. plus havin all you guys testin different stuff makes the research and development part super easy:yes:

I was thinking about this today :yes:. Would it not be cool to bring out a TCNW group of cars to this and see if we could get one (or more) of ours into the sweet sixteen. If we really went about this as a true team, we could strategically place our cars for the best chance to get in the picked time group. Think about it folks we had fourteen cars racing during our gathering in August at Bremerton. There are even more now. Why could we not put together a 20+ car team to bring to this event :hurray:. It would be kind of cool If one of us made it to the final four and had 20 or more TCNW t-shirt wearing friends with them :D.

that would be pretty sweet. if I could only get 2 runs in I would be more than pleased. I REALLY want to race, but tickets are going to be hard to get. anyone have a link to when tickets will go on sale????

It's my 20th wedding anniversary that day, but my wife might be up for a road trip.
I think you make an excellent point though, TOG.
Some good strategy, and we could have the field covered from 9's through 14's.

We'd certainly have a team member in just about every category
From the 9 sec show poodles
10 sec rides
a few 11 sec cars
quite a few 12 sec cars....
some 13s
maybe a new guy or new combo cutting 14s...
nobody left behind in the 15s

Damn, John was reading my mind....

It's my 20th wedding anniversary that day, but my wife might be up for a road trip.


If you want a 21st, I'd make other plans:D

I haven't noticed a team the size of ours on any All Out I've watched.
We might get some love flyingthe TC banner.

I've been checking the Pacific website, every week or so and haven't seen it mentioned yet. I definitely want to run if possible.:cool:

We would all have to start to dial our cars in as soon as the season starts to help consistency. Some of us had huge changes with their rides over the winter. We might even see I Bremerton would let us practice on arm drop launches :yes:.

TOG

PS I nominate Doc as team captain and Arron as co-captain

Offer the wife to drive, I think I'll see if Tammy wants to race something.

Arron does have a political, and champion provisional, connection to the track, being track champion and what not, maybe he should be Team captain and I'd be co-?????????????

Arm drop practice at Bremerton,,,,,I like it! :yes:

Two years ago I had a chance to do a couple of arm drop runs at Shelton :sad:. It takes practice, it is not as easy as it looks. I wont even tell you what my R/T was :(.

Yeah the track was real nasty even for us slower guys. On one pass I even got sideways on my 1-2 shift :sad:.

TOG

Im not sure if I have ever seen a 11.7 class on Pinks all out but it sure would be fun and maybe get the car on TV:D

I have a face for Radio.. ;)

Also I am going to have someone else drive my car that weekend. :cool:

No but we found out a Honda Rincon quad will hit 60mph on pavement.... My friend beat the safety guys down to me. :hurray:

You know what they say about guys that due radio :D.

Need a volunteer, I am sure there are a few folks here on TCNW that love to help you out :yes:.

TOG

yeah but not many of you have licenses to drive 9.99 and faster...

This will most likely be the last year for the camaro racing. I have plans to put it up for sale at the end of 09'. It has been a great car that has won many races but I have my eye on a chassis car.

yeah but not many of you have licenses to drive 9.99 and faster...


:yes: :D Now!

I just checked the schedule on speedtv.com and the date is for AUGUST 15TH not the 19th.....had me going since the 19th is a Wednesday and the 15th is a Saturday. Just wanted to make sure everyone didn't make plans for the wrong date.

Yes im a moron,and dont know how to read numbers:clonk:

refer to post 28, way ahead of yah

Yup, I looked.....but you said YOU THINK, I said IT IS:D It's ok, confidence comes with age.

I can't wait to see some of you make the show! I have a friend in AZ who is the only person to be on two different episodes of Pinks All out and he won one of them.

I sure hope a few of us make the show. That would be so cool................

I sure hope a few of us make the show. That would be so cool................

There is one garunteed way to make the show! :yes: :D

I can see it now... :cool:
Darryl, wearing his mullet wig, rides out pulling wheelies on the pink scooter. Then downs it just like Rich did on that one episode with the crotch rocket. Then you take off your shirt and mimick every dumb thing he did. :thumbsup:

Excellent idea :hurray:

Hopefully I can get my 66 done by then.. I raced my Monte at the Arm Drop Live in Woodburn and it was a hoot! I am sure the place will be a zoo! It could be as crowded in the stands as during the nats.

My hope for this group is that by august we can get our cars sorted out and reaches a level of consistency. So when this advent starts we know what our rides are capable of. That way we can qualify for the event and maybe spread ourselves across the field and see if we can get one or more TCNW guys into the final. This would be a departure from the way we have done things in the past. typically we are all about going faster and trying to improve. That mind set does not always work well if you are trying to for consistent times. It will be hard to convince some of my fellow TCNW's to leave their cars alone for one or more TNT and work on consistent times so we can see how we cover the field. But I am sure with Doc and Arron leading the way we can accomplish this :yes:.

TOG

I am going to see if a 10 second diesel truck will make the cut :thumbsup:

It wil be tough to build boost doing the arm drop thing and not burn up the transmission but it would be fun :hurray:

She will let me go thats no problem. I just thought it was funny when I said that is where I was taking her for her birthday.:noway:

When Pinks AllOut came to Detroit (Milan Dragway) - registration was full in 15 minutes! A friend of mine just told me today that he would not do it again - he waited hours to make a pass - and then find out he does not make the cut.:sad:
Fun stuff going on there otherwise - but if you're a racer and don't make it, it's kind of a bummer.
Looks like Rich from the TV show is coming back here August 7 & 8 - they're calling it "ArmDrop Live" - wonder what that means?

It looks like registration takes place online only (through Ticketbasta..). It cost $60 dollars for the car and driver for Fri. and Sat. . registration seems to happen about 90 days before the event. Cars must be 12.99 or faster (:( for me). Registrations have been selling out any any where between 10 minutes and 50 minutes. but there is a second chance deal that allows between 10 and 40 cars to race there way in the field. It seem as though some people love the whole experience and others would never do it again. I am going to see how close I can come to the qualifying speed in April with my new setup. If I am close enough I will probable ask our local nitrous guru for some help :D (You out there Doc).

TOG

This whole Pinks deal has me wondering what I'll even run once I get it on the track and tuned. First time out I don't expect much but I'll be prepared. Of course with the 12 bolt under it(peace of mind) and at least a 150 shot I'll have a chance......drag wheels and slicks are a no-brainer. With a 4 speed, it's more driver error associated than most of you guys running an automatic, but I do have an overdrive I may use for a clutchless shift. I don't really know what to expect but I'd like to hit 11.99....lofty goal probably but it's a target to shoot for.

TOG

What are you doing different this year? I guess I missed it.:confused:

Gears, tires and some induction help (larger carb). I left a little on the table last year, the smaller carb cost me 30hp. I needed to sort some other stuff out, mainly me ;). I needed to find a good baseline for my combo. I found it at 13.80. I am not totally happy with this, I do want a little more :D. My hope is to be able to get a 0.4 to 0.5 reduction in my time. If Ol' Blue is good to me and I make this, I will spray my way to a 12.90 for Pinks I hope :sad:.


TOG

With my new solid cam and head work, I'm hoping to be rock steady in the 11.50's on engine, and really hoping to see 10.90's on the juice.

My wife said she'd like to come down and meet the crew for Pinks. She's more jacked up about it than I am.

Surely someone from our crew is going to make the sweet 16.

Getting us registered will be the trick. Also this group has never been about consistency :D. Just going faster than the time before :cool:.

Forget going faster, I just gotta go FAST one time 10 APR and get THE 'SLOW GUY' CURSE lifted!!! Not official until I make a pass though I know I will move up several pegs from the bottom.

I wanna see the Blue Wonder after the mods....
Really impressive with the current 3.08 gears and street tires.
The DRs and gears should shave a lot off the launch with the new carb upping the mph at least one-two notches.

Just found this on the net Pinks All Out is a definite at Pacific, Arm Drop still tenative at Woodburn.

I just got my name on the to-call list from PIR. I also got my friend Gary on the list. We are #195 + #196 on the call list. They will call us a couple days prior to registration opening, to tell us when we can register. There will be a total of 464 spots for the Pinks event.

The number to call is 253-639-5927. Good luck.

you called for pacific raceway right? PIR is portland international raceway isnt it?

That's a Rog.

They will also have a small group (50 or less) that can race their way in the weekend before the main event. this seems to be the way pinks is handling the overwhelming number of entries for their events.

John did they give you any clue as to when the registration will be (like which month)? Registrations have been selling out anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours :(.

None at all. They were very vague and evasive. I think they are related to Dave. :D

Not surprising. I just did a little research and all the "Pinks all out" events are sold out up to ours at Pacific. The one just before ours tickets went on sale 12/01/09 :confused:. They are also having a "Last Chance" race your way in event. Check out their flier http://www.us131motorsportspark.com/assets/pink%20qualif%20flyer.pdf.

I like the Idea of all the different categories, it gives everyone a chance.

EDIT- I think everyone who is thinking about this event and can meet the qualifying requirements should call Pacific and have their name put on the list. I just looked at how the registration was going in the event following ours. They have decided to do it by E-mail in the order they were received :confused:. using a tier system with a cutoff date and followup qualifying races.

When I called they said those on the call back list will be contacted the day before info or registration goes on the web site as a heads up to get on the 'real list'.

I just called and was put on the call list.:thumbsup:

Thanks for the heads up John!:beers:

Don't know if I have the patience to wait for hours to make a single pass.:sad:
