I'm going to run tomorrow night at HRP. Look for the primered coupe...wanna line em up Scotty?

Scotty
03-24-2005, 12:05 PM
depends.... what's that thing run?

About whats in your sig! Ought to be a good heads up race.

Don't be skeeeered Scotty... it's a 180k mile 100% stock shortblock in his primered coupe. Your combo has the upper hand, if you two can hook.

Scotty
03-24-2005, 12:21 PM
I was under the impression it was a different car.... the one in his sig is blue, not primered. Ya man... we can do this...... I gotta make sure I'm going though. I'll know more definitely by tomorrow. Wanna make a friendly wager?

Saleen91
03-24-2005, 12:22 PM
Nah his blue vert is a thing of the past.

Timebomb
03-24-2005, 12:28 PM
Depends on what friendly is? A beer or two at the end of the night is fine with me! And ya I need to update my signature.

Scotty
03-24-2005, 12:29 PM
so what happened to the 'vert? Nice car.

Scotty
03-24-2005, 12:32 PM
two men enter, one man leaves....


I figured we'd throw a bone at it..... no?

Multiple fender benders that I didn't have the time, money or patience to fix so I sold it to another POMOFO here who is restoring it to it's former glory. The picture in my sig was from when I was racing the car, I then came across my current coupe and traded a 4x4 Scout for it and transfered the drivetrains from the vert to the coupe and visa versa. It was a worth while swap, I've gained almost 2 seconds from doing it.

Scotty
03-24-2005, 12:51 PM
well.... 2 seconds from 10.70's is a little too quick for my taste (8.70's)..... I'll have to pass if that's the case

Saleen91
03-24-2005, 12:52 PM
Hmmmmm..... my drivetrain in Alex Mandy's car..... hmmmmm

oh my butthole just puckered!

LOL Scotty, his car doesn't run 8.70's. It went from 12.70's to a 10.70. :rofl:

Scotty
03-24-2005, 12:58 PM
well.... in THAT case.... :rofl:

HoustonLX
03-24-2005, 01:06 PM
A stock shortblock running 8.70's? Now that would be a site to see. :rofl:

Scotty
03-24-2005, 01:07 PM
That's kinda what I was thinking..... but the way he said it, made it sound like the other way around.

Saleen91
03-24-2005, 01:12 PM
Now I could see why you'd get nervous! ;)

Timebomb
03-24-2005, 01:43 PM
HAHA, ah come one 180K shortblock with nitrous....what ya got, a hemi in that thing? ;)

Scotty
03-24-2005, 01:53 PM
no nitrous here man.... never had it.....

how much of a shot are you running?

man... this is a 30 year-old block..... steel heads.... :blue:

Oh ya... has 2 sleeves in it too!


HEMI you say? Hehehe... don't need one!

Timebomb
03-24-2005, 02:02 PM
no nitrous here man.... never had it.....

how much of a shot are you running? BIG ENOUGH :fu:

man... this is a 30 year-old block..... steel heads.... :blue: please, how many cubic inches???? I just have a 17 year old block and rotating assembly, alum heads because everyone knows steel E7's suck, and I'm only 302 cu in!


HEMI you say? Hehehe... don't need one!

Let's race! :racing:

Scotty
03-24-2005, 02:06 PM
You want best of 3? Or one shot, one kill?

And none of this "back tires" or "I get the leave" shit either.... heads up.

Should be fun, man! :woot:

Timebomb
03-24-2005, 02:39 PM
Oh it's heads up all the way...pro tree ok with you? I'll probably only run 3-4 nitrous passes, if you want to go best of three it's ok with me! Are we running for a frosty beverage? :darkbeer:

Scotty
03-24-2005, 02:42 PM
Sounds good to me!

Scotty
03-24-2005, 02:48 PM
What time? Where at the track? (parked where?)

Timebomb
03-24-2005, 04:21 PM
I'll be there early, I work in Baytown and I'm only a few miles from the track. I'm going to try and park near the consession stand as close to the bleechers as I can.

Scotty
03-24-2005, 04:24 PM
Sounds good, man. The track opens at 5. I'll be there around that time. I still have some tuning to do, so I'm not gonna be in a rush. Anyone else coming that you know of?

Timebomb
03-24-2005, 04:38 PM
I should be there around 5 also, I too have some tuning to do. I don't know anyone else going at this point.

See ya there.

Looks like it should be a good close race. Unless one (or both) of you are not exactly telling all about how the car is running :fart:. I hope to be at the track Friday also, just not that one. I am headed out to Sealy for some bracket racing practice to get ready for FFW.

Scotty
03-24-2005, 05:50 PM
The way I see it, some of the most fun I've had has been in races that I've lost. When they're close, they're always fun.

Since the weather is looking bad for tomorrow, I may blow off HMP and go to HRP tonight, gotta see what the wifey says. I'd really like to see what the car picks up full 1/4 mile vs 1/8 mile.
If so I might be in for a tech card match race with one of you guys.

White90GT
03-25-2005, 10:01 AM
OK, its official. I talked to the wifey and I'll be at HRP tonight. Don't want to chance the rain tomorrow at HMP. Lets see if we can get an 11.1x on motor tonight! Might start pulling out all the stops, remove the exhaust, drivers side headlight, and run no belt LOL
