Racin' Rivs 68-70 E.t.'s?

Just Trying To See Who Runs These Cars And How Fast In The 1/4...

 

Rod races a 69......12.86 @ 106 on street tires

 

12's....

Man-that Is Awesome, That Is Certainly The Fastest One I've Ever Heard Of

 

Rod did that about two weeks ago. It's slapped together old parts from the Hawk. when the car was slower he had it on juice and it went 11.60. It should be a little faster now.

 

That Is Very Impressive. Do You Know Ratio Rear Is In That?

 

I don't have a Riv myself but I knew a guy back in the 90's, that ran a white 68 Riv at my local track in Nebraska. Late one Friday night he busted off a 14.21 or something like that. He had a lot of help from some skinny freak that only helped with leaks and stuff. Never did solve any real problems... don't quite know why he hung around. Anyways that night he overheated at the track and then moved to Pennsylvania somewheres. Sure miss that Buick.

I Remember Some Skinny Punk When I Lived In Nebraska- I Thing He Was One Of Those "jerry's Witnesses" Or Something. Awful Nice Person, Sure Could Make A Car Leak!!! When I Got Lost, I Would Just Follow One Of Several Fluids Home. However-that Wicked Black Skylark - Whoo - Best 11 Sec Of My Life!!!

 

Rod's 69 3.89 gear with a 29 inch tall tire.

 

Riv's Had An Optional 3.91 - Is That The Orig 10 Bolt Or Another Housing. I'm Asking Because I Just Had A 9" Center Section Spliced Into An Original Rear - With Any Luck I Can Shoot A 12 Someday Myself.

 

It has a 9" ford

 

That' Good News. Now Let Me Pry Some More If I May, What Stall, Motor, Cam, Heads, Fuel Delivery-comparing Recipes. Thanks

 

That Rob Is A Kick, Ain't - Known That Wacker For Years

 

Mmmm, to much at once....... You would be best off talking to Rod about all of that. I know he said he needs more stall, I don't remember what he has now. The motor is slapped together with used Hawk parts and it's a bit wore out. Fuel delivery is usually me in the pick up with a 55gl drum. If you want to compare recipes I've got a great one for peanut butter cream pie, Mmm, mmm, mmmm

No really, Rod can help you out a lot. If you want send me an e-mail and I will pass it on to him, or you can call him one night. Problem with that is I never know when he is going to be home for you to call, I also never know when to kick the pool boy out :grin: Any who, let me know what kind of parts you have to work with or what goal you are shooting for and he will let you know what to do.

I hate that when that happens... only thing is I work with truck drivers and they don't look good in the nude :shock: I shouldn't say that,,, Rod's a truck driver and he looks good , Kind of like Kevin Bacon :Brow: Anyway, I will pass it on to Rod and Let you know what he comes up with.
