Sweet it's really nice not to have to get grief about going to the track even better to share it with them. That is my take anyway.

Look us up and say hello. I'll be the goofy looking guy with the good looking redhead.

Will do Dave.. I'll be the one wearing the goofy hunting hat to protect my neck/ears from sunburn :wink:

 

[John Wilde]

Steve,

We need C16 do you or Alex know anyone with some?

 

[Otto J]

Any updates John?

 

[Otto J]

I just talked to Fiscus,They are qualifying pro now,and the radial guys qualify last

 

[John Wilde]

I think Dave did a 9.5 on his first shake down.
It was hard to tell with all the noise in the back ground.
Cal and Michael should be up soon.

 

[Otto J]

I hear the cars waiting to run reach all the way to the return road waiting!

 

[John Wilde]

Huge electrical gremlins on Michaels car.
They were wrenching all the way to the starting line.
The car went out 200 feet or so and popped.
Don't know what happened yet.

You know more than me.
I wonder if they popped the head gasket.

 

[John Wilde]

0-40PSI in .3s of a second did not agree with one of the head gaskets.
They are in the process of pulling it now.
I will provide more updates as the come.

 

[Otto J]

Sooooooooo.............what happened today???????????

 

[UNDER-PRESSURE]

It was a nice day at the track but neither Buick made it into the field. The last round of drag radial looked like a demo derby, those guys are NUTS!! The fiscus car looked good and ran a 8.80 & change in the 3rd round but the bump was around 8.47. The old Jimmy D car popped both head gaskets yesterday & never got a chance to make the feild. Although they were wrenching real hard all day on it, two thumbs up for the effort! It was real good to see that car again, a true piece of Buick History there.

 

[87natl]

Damn, I was crossing my fingers for 'em.


I've gotta ask, what 32 cars were running 8.40's or better?????? Good Lord......

 

[UNDER-PRESSURE]

You need to be well into the 7's to have a chance in drag radial. They are truely amazing cars to watch & a bunch of cars were in the 7's. The Buick V-6 is just flat outclassed in drag radial at this time.

Well it sucks they didnt make the field. As far as being outclassed, its only gonna get worse!

 

[UNDER-PRESSURE]

I have to agree with you there, & these Buick's just can't compete with the numerous Turbo V-8 combo's. Thank God i got all that speed nonsense out of me years ago & am very content going relatively slow. I'm just an Old dude with some old cars that have some old parts running some Old times...................... But having FUN.
