just got thinking might put it up so maybe if anyone wants to attend it (I will almost certainly be at a majority of them LOL) or maybe plan a gtg around one of them we can.

Here is teh web site, you can follow the link for rules.

It is run what ya brung. you do have to pass tech, but on most street cars it is just make sure the battery is bolted down and you have a catch can for the radiator and it's not dumping oil all over the place. If you get into the low 8s then it gets more serious on tech of coarse. But I run teh diesel the last couple years and have a blast plus just fun to socialize (Roger and others can testify I like to talk )

 

Sounds like a plan for a meet. I like the 10th or 22 of May.... after finals, before summer classes start...

 

I hope to make both of those, May 3rd is still questionable if I will have the Galaxie going yet or not, but sure trying.

 

ya im wanting to take my bike down and make a few runs, possibly my truck to.

 

Well do bring both down. I have the Galaxie running now so will have it there on May 3rd. still has work to do but it's running anyway LOL

 

Sweet!!
This means I have to work on my truck and get my new up-pipes on along with updating to my van turbo. I need a good reason to get it done, besides 'it's cold out'.

 

22nd is the only one that works for me now...

 

So is anyone going to make it next sunday?

 

Well i did go on sunday, still have some things to dial in and work on but first pass was a 9.009, did some jet changes and got it down to a 8.912 @ 77.49mph, did another jet change but mess up shifting so didn't get a good pass in to determine if it helped or not so guess I will check it out next weekend.

 

I was wondering how it turned out. Hopefully I can make it one of these weekends here soon. I still have to replace my up-pipes and turbo, and need to do it soon!!! I'm hauling bales today and I can tell I just don't have the boost I use to.

 

I have finals this week and next week, then next weekend I will be in South Dakota, so maybe after that I can slip down there...

 

just a reminder to anyone insterested, next race is Fri 22nd gates open at 6pm and on track by 7, tech goes from 6-9 (racing runs until 11)
Hope to see some of you guys there, and if you do holler at me, galaxie is obvious and the F250 has a FTE sticker in the rear window.

 

Just bringing this back up since racing again tonight.

BTW didn't post it but last week, with the gear change managed a 8.73, but had some valve float issues so changed springs yesterday and will see what happens tonight.

Hope some of you cna make it.

So you plan on being there tonight? I might try to talk the wife into stopping, she and the daughter are dragging me to Adventureland, so it's only fair....
