Are there any of you that live in Arkansas? If so where do you live. Also did you know that Centerville will be open the 22nd of Feb.
 
Hey man!
I'm in Fayetteville! Not too far away..went thru LR yesterday...once it warms up I plan to locate all the TR guys...there is one in Rogers (about 10 miles from me) that I hear has a couple quick TR's, and I think a guy around Russelville...sucks being the most knowledgable person in the area on these cars!! (and I'm not that knowledgable) --also can't spell that damn word...

Anyway let me know if you ever head up this way!!
 
Hey,
I live in Rogers. I've owned many TR's. Right now I own a TTA and a 455 powered 1972 Skylark. It would be great to get with all you guys.
Thanks Dean
 
I'm in south Arkansas. There are 3 or 4 tracks within two hours of here(1.5 hr minimum:( )

I dont own a TR I do have a Sy that I drive. There are quite a few in cental Ar. I believe they have a weekly or monthly get to gather at a place just south of conway. The most knowledgable person on turbo buicks in Ar. that I know of is Brad Simpson. He lives in conway and has a 87gn that is reeeeal quick. There is one in Heber Springs I sold this one to get my Sy. About 4-5 in Little Rock. If you come down to Little Rock give me a shout.
I go to Fort Smith every once in a while. But I am in the wifes saturn whitch is no fun:( Centerville dragway is going to be open the 22nd of feb from 12 to dark. I will be there first time to the track this year. I am hopping to get into the 9's in the 1000' this year. I went 10.54 @93 in 1000' last year on 13-14 psi. I have been tuning now i can get 90-91 in the 1/8 mile so that should be a big improvement in the 1000'

Hope to see you there.
 
Hiwinds,
I live in Russellville. I work in Maumelle. I have several buddies here in Little Rock that have Turbo Regals. Two GNs nd two T's. All of us run in the low to mid 9's at Centerville. We run there every Saturday night when the track is open. My GN ran 9.70's at 105 last year. I have rebuilt the engine with ported and polished heads, cam, ATR headers and 62mm throttle body. It feels wicked now compared to the stocker. I am running a TE-60 with a CAS V2 front mount. One of our cars runs a TE-45A and over 100 in the 1/8th so you'll get a kick out of it. Come see us at Centerville next time you're there. Just look in the back corner for the row of GN's and T's. Hope to see ya!!
 
I've been there quite a few times. I raced a silver t in the efi shoot out and beat him. Then I ran a black gn in the finals he won. but it was fun anyway. Will you guys be there the 22nd? I will be there in My sy hoping to get into the 9's
 
Count me in as another Arkansas member....

I live in Benton. I started tearing the top 1/2 of the engine off yesterday to put a new cam and some p/p heads on my car. Got any good tips for me ;) I've been wrenching on cars for 20+ years, so it shouldn't be too hard, but that passenger side head looks like it's gonna be a bitch to retorque some of the bolts at the back :(

I'll be hitting Prescott several times this year as well as Centerville. Hoping to get some 9.x times once I get it back together :D
