He was asking what e.t. A car like that would have run? I was wondering the same...I was thinking low 11's or high 10's but that was just a guess.

On the PID site, a buddy was asking what cars like Jack McDonough's ran back then. Anyone know?

If I remember correctly those cars ran in the mid to high elevens.

BTW....USTREAM.COM if you cant get through your day without alil live racing action!!!

Anyone back from getting car cert. yet? Curious how turn out is and maybe able to get car up now rather than 8:30 tonite

Dave - I'd call first. just came through there and the power is out in New Alex. Looks like the track was still working....

anyone interested in a complete racing operation?30 ft clas a rv,26 ft haulmark,235 4 link diamond dragster roller,

just got back. power was out when i got there but came back on while i was still there.
there was a line and passed 4 more trailers heading that way on the way home.

Nick, I don't know where you're seeing a forecast for good weather tomorrow - all I see is cloudy and windy, neither of which are good for a safe race track. Comparison to a national event, with sponsors, tv, points, ticket money, etc, isn't fair. I'm frustrated by the weather... I'm ready to race on opening day for the first time in years, but the track's call is the right one for this weekend, in my opinion.

Just a little blower motor build to pass some time. Got rotating assembly done and I really don't want to look at or file another ring for a long time. Steel top rings with chrome nitride coating on face, iron seconds, standard tension oil. Bi-Metal bearings, Kellog crank, Manley H beam rods, DSS -18cc dished pistons, aluminum Teksid block. Not sure on using the SOHC heads or the DOHC set I have. Should be 9.6:1 with SOHC heads or 8.6:1 with the DOHC heads. Should have blower speed maxed out or be slightly over spun at 7,000rpm So much more to do to car yet.

Rumor has it that the racing tomorrow will be all out full blown high speed ,,,

BOAT RACING !!!!!!!

Looks real good Ed. Why were the rings so hard to file? Were you rubbing them on the concrete?? I offered the ring filer just so you wouldn't have to do that.

I have a ring file. Just the stainless steel rings suck compared to the iron rings Never messed with steel rings before this.

Rubbing on concrete...oh my, I laughed and I hope he was kidding

Never know with you F*** people

Just getting this in under the wire...

Has anyone signed up for the RainedOut text service yet?
I'm interested but I'm a poor guy that doesn't have unlimited texting and was wondering if you get a bunch of useless texts from this service?

I signed up and have ONLY received texts from PRP status changes.

Here let me help.... everytime I come to PGH it usually rains!! lol

Is PRP still planning on a test and tune and gamblers race this saturday? If so is the gamblers race after or during the t'n't, i have a new motor to test but if i make the drive i'd like to race if everything works ok

Normally during, you get thru first two rounds of TnT for time runs then Gamblers get call for first round of Elims.
