    Drag Strip? Meet-up? I'm in Central Va

    Oh my goodness...welcome back Scott. Godfrey told me to take a peek on here and that I'd be surprised. I'm glad to hear that you're back in the game again. Hit me at jrrmason@verizon.net and we'll get together and do something real soon. With my youngest son playing AAU ball, we're gone...

    Great to make new friends.

    Steve/John, It was great meeting you guys and talking Buicks for a couple of hours. As Godfrey mentioned, I'm sure there will be trips made in your direction in the near future...Godfrey's on a mission. John => let me know how that 'turning it down' thing goes for you. -Bobby

    Pressure vs. Volume vs power output

    Jerryl, The way I'm reading Amelio's question is: If engine "B" is using less boost to create the same calculated HP rating as engine "A", do they still have the same peak cylinder pressure?

    Man this car is fast!!

    Blast from the past Wow, this is an old vid of my car from like 2006. That video actually came from a winter track rental at Bradenton. I dug up the link where 86brick posted a bunch of pictures of the cars that were there...

    T&T at Richmond Saturday (7/17)

    Thanks Nearing. It's been a few years man, how's it going? :smile: I'm going out tomorrow to work on a few things. Not having time for the cars is killing me, but you know how the family and work stuff goes around here. I've only been out twice the whole year and struggle both times. :(...

    Colonial Beach T&T

    Of course when I have the time to make it to a track anywhere, the weather looks like it's not going to cooperate.:rolleyes: Colonial Beach is having an Antique Car Show with a T&T this Saturday. Are any of you guys going or even knew about is? Usually during events like this, you can get...

    Old Dominion

    Muzz - just work your way up to your target tune, keep notes along the way, and make one change at a time. As for OD, that place looks like fun. Let me know when you and your buddies are going out. I just got my old street car running again and I want to take that somewhere. All I can say...

    Old Dominion

    Summer Duck Thanks guys, I've been to the Duck a few times and unless things have changed there, I'm not too fond of crossing the hill while curving to left. And I definitely don't want to test their volleyball net by the entrance! :eek: Right now the car is off in the 1/8th, but it'll...

    Old Dominion

    Tight! Geez that puppy is tight...but I like tight! Tight is about what you normally get at an 1/8th mile track though. I need to find a T&T date and come try it out. I usually play at Colonial Beach, VMP or MIR from time to time. OD can't be as slippery as Colonial Beach has become...

    Old Dominion

    I was wondering how is Old Dominion's surface and prep? I hear things about how good certain tracks hook but I never hear anything (good or bad) about Old Dominion. How do you guys normally do there?

    New to Northern VA

    Greetings to all! Just passing through and decided to jump into Drew's thread and say hello. Drew, that's a good job for not having an IC or drugs. Turbofrank - ...long time to see. How's it going with you guy? I was hoping to make Cecil in October, but I have a schedule conflict so...

    crankshaft specialist

    Guys, Stay as FAR away from Doug Rowe and Crankshaft Specialist as possible. They used to have a respectable reputation, but now they are known to be crooks. If you have a few minutes, GOOGLE them and you may be enlightened. Doug Rowe and Crankshaft Specialist's days in terms of doing...
