Nordy, heads up race?

[Chevota]

and i will cross that bridge when it comes..

it's only gas man, you have the cash big pimp ..

I'm not the one with the expensive sig.

 

[wiked87gn]

Yes, I can. Do I wanna pay for the C-16 it's going to cost to get there? No.
It's only a matter of time before you gotta get it smogged in Cali :biggrin:

Anyway, I was asking a serious question. Thought it might be a fun race until your negotiator opened his mouth.

I always knew you had low self esteem but didn't wanna point out the obvious :biggrin:

[Chevota]

Dont worry about his Smog, crew chief has it covered.

Get off nordy's nuts, Lou might get jealous.

I like it a lot , it's yellow and i see some resemblance to your TIN CAN are you sure they are not related?

Crew Chief was under the car today.. John Force gave him the day off from the top fuel team...

Thanks again Wicked .. hopefully this will help get those 60ft's under 1.50's..

lets see, yes i have a glass hood, trunk and bumpers but THATS IT.. full working cool A/C, working HEAT and it's driven on the street to car shows and events.. right i can also carry 4 people with the stereo on and t-tops out because it's a STREET CAR with a stock block V6 ..

Assuming we start with a GN that has the regular steel bumper reinforcements and not aluminum ones, all that fiberglass probably took off close to 150 pounds or so. Add to that another 25-30 lbs. for the front sway bar, figure 15-20 lbs. saved per corner (compared to stock GN rims) due to the Weld wheels and a few other misc things, and it starts to add up. In other words, 3700 lbs seems a little heavy unless that's including driver and fuel, or a TH400 is a lot heavier than I thought...? By way of contrast, my car has all its factory body panels but no t-tops, a rollbar, chrome bumpers with T-Type reinforcements, 200-4R, big front mount, A/C and so on, but weighs about 3600 with me in it including fuel. Anyway, 3700 struck me as a fairly big number given all the weight saving measures employed. FWIW, there's a place called Dycorp on Ball Road in Anaheim just past the RR tracks that has a public scale right out front by the street; a lot of truckers use it since it's so close to I-5 so the state checks it fairly frequently for accuracy.

 

[nordy racer]

full tank of gas with me in it (pushing 255lbs).. i also have a 6 point cage in the car so the 150lb i saved with the fiberglass it went right back in. it sucks that you have to pay to scale your car around here, nothing free around here??

 

[petesgn]

nothing free around here??

Yes harassment is free.

 

[nordy racer]

Yes harassment is free.

true true.... there is TONS of that around here

Looks good! That should help.

 

[Drip Pan]

I've taken several vehicles to Dycorp to be weighed; the charge is $10 if it's just for you (they give you a receipt with the weight printed out on it) and $20 if you need a certified slip for DMV purposes.

Hey Nordy cool pics, I just dont like the one where my eyes are shut Im a model remember and on that picture (I DONT LOOK VERY MODEL LIKE), some people on here may complian about it, but then again i rather keep my eyes shut while drilling to keep the metal shavings out of them. :biggrin:
for what I saw on the little test launches you did it will help a lot, you even said so now lets just wait for thursday and see what she does.

I Said lets have a weight your car day before the big fight, lets have chevota bring out his TIN CAN and NORDY bring his car at the same time and lets see how much they weight.

 

[Underboost]

I've taken my car to

SCHORR METALS, INC
837 S. Kraemer Blvd.
Placentia, CA 92870

Car was 3700lbs on the dot w/ me in the car. on 6/22/06

I paid $3.00

Ooh ooh ooh.."a weigh in day!!!" LAME. Nobody ever said they weighed the same. I already agreed to give him the 7/10's in the 1/4mi, and that's being VERY generous. I'm guessing Nordy's car weighs around 3500#max,....and I'm STILL willing to give him the 7/10's. Can't you read? Maybe you are a model 'cause you're just about as smart as one. If you wanna get technical, add up the parts on both motors and see which one has more potential(cubic in, turbo size, heads, etc etc) THEN you can try and be a genius and factor in the weight Why am I even talking to someone that currently has no car?

 

[Gary Wells]

Actually, I think that car weigh is something that a lot of people think about at some point or another. Probably one of Kevins better ideas, and it was nice of Brent to mention somewhere locally that weighs them reasonable.
