Mission Raceway for Div 6 points race...

[billsgn]

Got back from a great weekend at Mission Raceway in B.C....It was great meeting some of the GNRA guys from "up north" and hanging out with you on Saturday....

Thanks Geno for taking me to watch some fast division 6 cars set quite a few NHRA class records, including none other than John Gallina with his 87 GN. John set a new NHRA record (7.98 @ 171mph) in his Duttweiler prepared twin turbo 210 cubic inch V6!!!

btw, you guys notice we live in the "coolest" NHRA division (6)???

It was great meeting you too Bill. I got hung up with a couple work issues Saturday morning and by the time I was ready to make the 1 1/2 hour trip out there John had already blown his headgasket and decided not to fix it so I stayed home.

Anyways, good to meet you and I'll see you guys in about 6 weeks @ TTIV

Clayton, I was wondering why you didn't show up on Saturday....I'll see you and Big Al in Woodburn! Maybe we can set up a little match race!!!

Sounds good. Your ET and MPH is the range I am shooting for. I'll have to make sure I have eveything set perfectly if I'm going to keep up with you.

We should have a few more guys than just me and Al. Some guys will only be able to make it for Saturday's racing and few more may only be watching but I am hoping for a reasonable turnout.

Clayton,

You get your rollbar installed yet? I just got finished installing mine....ended up custom building one since Art Morrison messed up again and didn't send out the kit that has been on order for over a month!

What an experience it was building my first rollbar!!!

You mean Clayton right?

Yes, bar is installed! I'm working on getting the interior back in now. I can't wait to test it out

 

[billsgn]

Of course I meant Clayton! Thats why I said Clayton!

It was great to meet you Len! That's fantastic that you are coming up for Turbo Thunder! I look forward to seeing you again. At least now I don't have to worry if my tranny takes a dump while we're there

Good to see the Vegas Buick folks will be "representin" at TTIV!

Feel free to bring Show Girls with you

I was hoping the Gallinas might come up and race one or both of the Woodburn Division 6 races and maybe leave the car here and race it at TTIV too. Then again, we do have a limit, they would have to keep the car slower than 7.50
