WTH??? I don't get paid overtime! I am a glutton for punishment, driving an Olds... that money tree won't show buds ever! And since you're done with your car, you have time to go find another job to pay for your neck collar and pants! And dude, it's weird that you're trying to get into Scotty's pants.

I can tell you guys if your considering running H/R...class racing is a ton of fun. I ran H/R with my Duster...would run 10.60's in good air...and my buddy footbraked a 10.90 car and did fairly well. Give it a shot...if you have any questions I'd be happy to help..there aren't many class racers here compared to my old tracks...I'd love to see more

....especially since we are lucky enough to have two divisionals here.
Eric,
I too am going to try my hand at H/R this year, although I am mostly going to bracket race. If you don't mind this spring I would like to get your opinion on my setup, and tell me what all these buttons and knobs do.
Sure...anytime...

Bob DenikerI would like to race at both events this year. Any suggestions on how I could do it? Not sure what would be the best class to try.

I'm sorry, but that's just too funny, LMAO! Thanks for the laugh, Chuck!
BTW -- I haven't been on in a while, but you guys all did a great job at the banquet on Saturday. It was a lot of fun!

Bob, your ride is a perfect canidate for Hot Rod (10.90). It runs what 10.0's/teens? That is perfect. You will just need a throttle stop/timer and IHRA #/License. Does your car have a 4500/4150 carb? If it is 4150, I have a throttle stop and timer you could try if your interested, I don't know that I am going to be able to do it this year.

ChuckTBob, your best bet would be putting a stop on the Camaro to run H/R (10.90 index). Mark Romeo is up on all the rules for Stock and Super Stock.... I'm thinking you may have too much aftermarket stuff to qualify there?
Kimmy, I just work with what they give me... if Mikey throws up an alley oop, it's my job to dunk it.

And I crack myself up. Thanks, the banquet was a lot of fun.
Gee, can't understand why you haven't been on?? You have a bunch of people over in General on the Good Morning thread pulling for JJ. Glad he's home.

Tony FagnilliMy brother Gino raced H/R for the past nine years and if there's one thing I learned about those guys, is that those f*%kers can drink.

my goal is 8.90's about 185mph
Really, 185 huh? What new motor are you building?

RacerChick81Chuck -- thanks for letting me know about the "Good Morning" thread - I had no idea. Just went over and posted.

Tony FagnilliSpeaking of H/R, Gino has an Edlebrock manifold and a #1 throttle stop. It's an under the carb style(4500) air on/air off. The manifold is an open plenum for BB chevy. He also has an inline stop thats goes on your linkage. Both are for sale. Let me know if anyone is interested.

AndamoTony, that's not fair of you call out folks so you can go duck hunting. Shame on you and may all your pasta stick together.

Tony FagnilliDan, did you watch alot of Johnny Carson when you were younger? You sound like Karnak

AndamoTony, I'm sure you can relate to Sophia Petrillo on this " Picture it, Oakmont 1950, I come home from 2nd grade, and we had gotten a TV and Kate Smith was on " You can take it from there.

Balaska347You got me on that one Chucky haha. Boy H/R sounds like it's getting some interest.

Bob DenikerSlowing a car down is a tough thing to do for me. How bout if I run the 990 class? I think the car is capable of 70's if I lean on it. I tried Top Dragster and noticed nobody could drive until I was in the other lane.
March 04, 2010, 09:06 PM
Balaska347Im with you Bob, I dont really like the idea of slowing down.
