Ok, it's getting down to the wire now boys...:beers:

Who all is planning on doing a little racing on Thursday night during CB '05?

http://www.musiccityraceway.com/Chevelle%20Shootout%2005.htm

If you are going to participate...
list your car's setup brief details, any guesstimate on it's ET, are you running street tires/drag radials/slicks, any grunge races planned, etc...

Also, I'd like to hear suggestions on how we can identify the participating cars with our screen names here.

ATTN: Mods...
This post is NOT about who's staying at what hotel, what caravan/routing being traveled, emergency phone numbers listing, etc...
This is BENCH RACING in the truest sense of the phrase.
As such, I would hope this remains in Bench Racing. :thumbsup:

if I get car in shape I mite Bill, if not, will be there to cheer yall on,, figured I would get this in before it gets moved

I hope to run mine a couple times, like to post a high 13 but more than likely a 14.0. on street tires.

..don't make me come down there with a 2.56 rear and a 150 HP shot ;) :D


guys,best of luck..have fun..and one of these years I'll make it!


Nick,you got too many 4 speed cars!! (j/k)

I hope to run mine a couple times, like to post a high 13 but more than likely a 14.0. on street tires.

I'm bettin Ol Paint is close to a full second quicker now than when I made a 9.11 pass back in 03(2.73 gear, BFG street tires) !!! I went 8.50 here with an upgrade to BFG drag radials and the 2.73 gear.

Dammit!!! Brand new MT drag radials and a 3.31 gear upgrade, I've got to get to a track and get some times!!!

Have fun Bill !!! :thumbsup: :waving:

Last time I ran at Music City Raceway, I hit an 8.18. I might have to uncap the exhaust this year :D :D.

OK Big James.....here's an elky challenge. You find a way to make it to Nashville and I'll line up beside you with my 69 and see who has braggin' rights. :beers:

Those 2 Elkys are almost twins,other than being 2 years apart, be pretty cool to see which is quicker

Yea, I think Danny cloned Ol Paint, probably even has the same engine combo !!! :thumbsup:

Be glad to race anyone that drives their car to the track. How's that for the first bit of trash talking :) (and I'm not a trash talker, just trying to stir the trash talking thread up a little)

I'd be out there, if my car wasn't sitting in the garage with an empty engine bay :(

Should of let Brian take Butter Cup to CB for me and run her.
