No that wagon is not me----when I lived in Mesa I had a 59 El Camino with a 409 motor. Might have raced the Ford a few times at the Air Force base in Tucson in 58--59 but I didn't have a race car then----but that wagon isn't me and I don't know who it is. Sorry I raced a lot of strange things---Corvair, Buick Riveria, 65 GTO, Lots of Olds and Pontiacs.

Mornin' all! TGIF! Fingers crossed that the weather forecast gets better for tomorrow. Right now, looks like we may be getting wet just about the time we're in first round of eliminations. Good luck to those that are racing, have fun whatever you're doing. Just make sure it includes some ice cream. You deserve it. Have a great weekend!

Finally had a day of no rain yesterday. Was pretty nice out. Looks like this Sunday I'll be heading to the track to try running in Street and Pro. Get some time under my belt.

Mornin' all! I hope you all had a good weekend, and remembered your mothers. We got almost through time trials before getting rained out. Ah well. Hopefully in the next 2 weeks I can get new valve springs on, and see if that's the cause of my high rpm miss.
J, I love the AMCs. I have friends with 2 AMXs, a '69 and a '70. They opened my eyes to a lot of different cool rides. And my buddy Matt Obertanec does fair to middlin' in his Spirit.
1258, same over here, beauty of a day yesterday. Nothing like seat time, I hope it goes well for you.
You all have a great day!

Everything shuts down Mothers day weekend in NC--Even NASCAR. Need to make a couple of passes before Motor Mile. I started it up in the trailer to show it some love. Anyone on here ever tried lately to tune up an OLD car? My 65 GTO hadn't been tuned up in more than 10 years so I decided to do it Sat---Had a set of new plugs, but had to go to parts store for points. After 2 trips, 30mi each round trip, to town for parts that "were right for that car" I gave up and did the old school method and filed the old ones smooth and reinstalled them. Used my 40 year old dwell meter to adjust them, checked the timing and now all is good---I finished it this morning so a 30 min job took all of 2 days. Young guys probably never heard of a dwell meter You all have a good day

Fern, I can tell you that I have never heard of this dwell meter you speak of. Heck I'm not that knowledgeable with tuning and figuring problems out, I'm just a good driver when I get seat time.

1258 surprised you heard of points Sun is out and looks like another nice day here. Mama seemed ok last night but its still a nursing home and that leaves a lot to be desired. Where are you Mike, you started this so get your a$$ back in here. You all have a good day.

Mornin' all! Rainy day here, matches my mood, Pirates frustrating me last night. Wasting decent pitching, need to win these in division games.
Fern, I am not young! My dad gave me the one I have, I think it came from a friend of his. It's still on the shelf in the garage. Really only used it one time. My first Cutlass, '68, all stock, 2 barrel, just headers and duals. My best friend and I changed points, cap, and rotor, set the dwell, car ran best it ever did. Then I wrecked going home that very night swerving to miss a car that swung into my lane.
You all have a great day!

Morning folks.
Chuck sorry to hear about your Pirates. Our Phillies are doing a lot better than expected by most, but the season is still young and so is our team. Even though they were projected to be the worst team in baseball again by Vegas, I never count them out until they play the game.
Hope everyone has a nice day. Halfway through the week.
