Late arrival Won't get out of LoCal till about 7pm. Art Carr is done with the trans so we should be more competative this year! See you all about 1 am Thurs or sometime on Friday.
Friday Ok, so what is going on Friday the 3rd? The West Coast Nats website lists Test and Tune from 4 - 10 pm... However,The LV Speedway website www.lvms.com lists this event as the: "Super Car Spectacular (Toyota Supras, Buick GNs, Mustangs, F-Bodies) Final Outlaw Eliminator" and says practice on Friday starts at 5:30 pm. So here are my questions: What is the deal with the Toyotas and Mustangs? Is test and tune worth checking out? If so, what time? Race day --- What time should spectators arrive? 7am? Thanks:TU:
We're lumped in with other cars because there won't be enough Buicks to get the track exclusively. It's many thousands of $$$$. Notice the GNs under Supercar banner? Those are Buicks and it's their show that we're invited to. We shared the track with Mustangs last year with no delays; we had as many T&T runs as we could stand. So yes, it's worth checking out. They'll probably run the brand 'x' cars separate and the Buicks on their own. It's just a matter of lining up in different staging lanes. The facility can more than handle a bunch of cars. 5pm - 10pm or so. Be there.
Hey, Gary!! Steve at Art Carr's California Performance Transmissions tells me that with the new trans in Mike's car your 12.87 is toast!
'bout time you piped up Skip. We talkin' Mike M's car? WHAT'S IN YERRR WALLET!? :blast: Lookin' to update my signature line.
Yes, same car! Same car, same tires. Full 3" exhaust , rear drag springs, no-hop bars and upgraded transmission. As far as my wallet......moths!o No: Maybe enough for a couple of :beer :beer
:beer :beer it is! You didn't expect me to shake with fear and not challenge you back, dija? I certainly hope that 12.87 is toast... FOR ME. Gonna be fun Skip. Lookin' for my best ET, brackets are just fringe, and Sam and Scott have already spoken for the prizes.o No:
Looking forward to it. Even if the car is fast, you will likely beat this old man on the tree. Are the lights going to be LED's? BTW, Steve Lancaster, the main man at CPT, will be there on Saturday. He is very fothcoming with transmission information and a good guy to boot!
Update from LV Just got this from Jon.FYI Skip there will be fuel ....probably close at 9 pm Friday night though....but suppose to be there all day sat. I think there will only be one v8 bracket, but if 50 v8's show up then well split it up.....chances are 20-30 cars I d guess. Jon
YIPES! STIPES! The guys left with the '72 about 2pm LoCal time. We put the trans in last night and did a little T&T at noon. Car has to be at least a 1/2 sec. faster than it was. Even the hemi guy at the shop is smiling! What a rush! I cannot belive how this thing pulls:jd:
