    The 2015 Annual Buick versus Ford Shootout at Noble

    the announcer corrected himself later on saying that the runs both before and after lunch break counted. i too was initially confused by that as well

Now i...

    Buick versus Ford Event in Noble. Date of October 11, 2014, confirmed yesterday by the track.

    Looks like i will be coming down from KC once again. I drove the car down last year and it died at the hotel and never made it to the races. will be trailering it this year. nothing fancy, just a mid to high 12 sec car. this should be my 12th visit in the past 14 years too. always a good time...

    Buick versus Ford Event at Noble - Oct 12th 2013

    Tried messing with that last night. The switch looks fine, not burnt up. Tried to wire around it but there is no power still. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 4

    Buick versus Ford Event at Noble - Oct 12th 2013

    I'm out. GN died in the motel parking lot on the way to test and tune last night. Lost all power. Nothing works except my dome light. Battery good, starter cranks if hot wired. Couple local non Buick guys saw me stuck and we spent 3 hours messing with it. It's weird, no pw, pl, pwr seat, radio...

    Buick versus Ford Event at Noble - Oct 12th 2013

    how much is this gonna cost to race? in past years, as an out of state buick driver, they let me in free (just paying for my spectator that tags along). that the case still? if not, how much for a driver? also, assuming fuel will be available, anyone have prices or approx prices for race gas at...

    Can i run a "race" chip on 92 if i lower timing via maft+?

    i bought a TT race chip about 3 years ago but ive never used it. i put it in today just to make sure it worked, and it does. in fact, its driveability is way better than the chip ive been using on the street. given that i have a translator plus, is it safe to run this "race" chip on 92 gas if i...

    Buick versus Ford Event at Noble - Oct 12th 2013

    Just booked my room. Ill be there. 95% sure it will be in my G8 GT, but there is a small chance i may get the GN highway worthy for the trip.

    Commitment List for Noble - October 15th 2011

    ill be coming down from KC with my G8 this year. GN sat too long in the garage and now the TCC solenoid is bad, plus it needs new front tires, an oil change, and a vacuum brake conversion. if i had a truck/trailer, id haul its ass down there as is, but no luck.

    any harm driving with the tcc solenoid unplugged?

    ive diagnosed a bad tcc solenoid on the car. unplugging it drives great. until it gets replaced, any harm in driving the car with it unplugged? its just around town city cruising, no more than 45mph (my chip locks it at 48 or 49). what about track use? noble is coming up in a little over a...

    Oil Cooler ?

    i dont have an oil temp gauge but i didnt notice any changes to engine operating temp by removing it. mine is not a daily driver but it does get driven on hot days and does get raced. no issues. engine has all stock 166k mile internals still.

    Oil Cooler ?

    thats what i did when i went with a f-body radiator. only one internal cooler and i use it for the tranny. i temporarily ran a high pressure hose on the adapter inlet and outlet because i thought about adding an external engine oil cooler but changed my mind and just removed the adapter.
