Hey Marco!! Where is the toddler BPG shirt???o No: C'mon...he's either have to have your keys in his hands or he has to have a Buick shirt.....:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Larry :TU:
MARCO My little one is 31 and his first car at age 16 was a 70 Stage 1 hdtp. I told him that the stage 1 was just like a gun , you need to handle it with care. He bought it with his money and the new tires he installed looked like the old one after 1 month. He told me around school, the saying was " Stay away from that cream buick, its bad", Its been in storage for ten years and needs a good going over,but in time he said it will be done ! Bill by the way do the pits open at 9:00 on Sunday?
Took a sick day today. Adjusted the valves (AGAIN!). All are about 1 turn out. Still have some noise, but I don't think I can do anything about it. Attempted to balance the driveshaft via the shop manual method using 2 hose clamps. And I actually improved the vibration at speed! I'll pidgeon-hole it to get it better, but that's later. She's washed and waxed, clean as a whistle. All bolts tight. New front shocks. Timing set to 34* total mechanical. I'm ready. I've been busy as heck the past 3 nights! Looking forward to some runs on Saturday. Let's do some heads-up Buick guys! I'm praying to break into the 13s. I think it can. We'll see. C-ya around 9:30 or so, near the concession stand/gas pumps on the pit side... NOT the grandstand/parking lot side.
Sounds great Jeff but I think my Buick wont break 14's let alone 13's :ball: ... I had lots of problems and no tune-up last time and my 350 Buick ran 14.9 @ 95 mph....I'm just hopeing to break my old record As far as heads up..let me see what I do on my first fun run, then I'll tell you what I wanna do :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Meet you there Jeff !:bglasses: larry :TU:
Bill - Please let you son know about the Stage1 registry. We need to document the survivors. Thanks! Hi Larry - He's already been in the drivers seat moving the steering wheel :laugh: . Where do these kids learn this? It was like, automatic for him to just climb in the car and start turning the wheel. When he grows big enough to work the clutch, I'm in trouble. PS - He takes my keys all the time - He like the way they sound. Sometimes its an adventure getting the keys away from him or trying to find where he put them.
Aww c'mon Marco your just startin him out early :laugh: ....I wish you were going...I need someone to cheer me on as I go down the track too :laugh: :laugh: . I will let you know how well I do, and I'm sure people here will discuss the whole day with pictures and all. GOD I cant wait for tomorrow, time is going by so slow today here at work :ball: . Well the back breaking work starts tomorrow at 7AM for me.....gotta bolt on the DOT slicks and get the tune-up and timing done....lots of stuff to do.....I'm praying to beat my old time of 14.9, I hope I do it this time :bglasses: Larry :TU:
