the pumpkin is back

[ttypewhite]

Mike, bring the car down to Columbus with your tools, good tires and some race gas and we'll spend some time on it and get you that 8 second pass. Give Cal a call and make sure he's got some bigger injectors though.

Very tempting.................

Wow what a thread!!! Congrats Jack on bringing the pumpkin back out.

 

[JCotton]

Allan? refering to me sir?

Sorry Allen, I was speaking to Allen G.. but then how are you doing too..

 

[JCotton]

Thanks again guys and of course Girls..... gee, I may have to throw a few more lbs at it the next time out. But I think I have to work on the hook-up first.. That's an area we used to excell at, but somehow seemed to have lost the edge there... we'll find it again.

I'm doing ok Jack thank you, busy with this little 275 drag radial car. Maybe I'll get back into a Buick someday. Didn't know if you would remember me or not. Anyway, keep that Pumpkin flying!

I'd like to pass along an update about Tony and myself... Tony reached out to me, we met up and worked out our issues with each other. I believe Tony to be sincere and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet with him. I played my part over the years and must say, carry responsibility for my part in this unfortunate display. We are both passionate about our cars and many other things in life. I hope Tony and the Buick community will accept this as my apology for my misbehaviors... is that like a Roger Clemens word... :smile: Now I'm looking forward to some T$Ting that Pumpkin, hoping to get up to LVD this weekend if possible...

Yep, that was Pauls friend, I couldn't think of his name... been a few times I've thought about selling the Pumpkin... had some pretty high offers... but the wife didn't want to hear it... Getting to the track with it again, perked up the racer in me again... now to figure out how to target shoot and race at the same time... :smile:

Jack, go on the 26th. I'm bringing the Ghost! I can't wait!! Phil.

8.9's with stock heads has been done for years. I'd say it's LATER now. Lets see how much faster it'll go.
