Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
I picked up a set of these for my truck, not sure if you are still running the stock hinges as past pictures showed, but these would be a nice touch under your hood, just saying ;)

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Cool truck! You should start a new tread putting all you info in it and add to it as you go so everyone can follow, that's one mistake I made around here, didn't make a main thread now my stuff is all over the place in several threads, I guess at the time I figured who going to really give a crap about my truck, but that might still hold true lol.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
On another note we just got back from our first race-test session in Baytown. Got two hits Friday and two hits on Saturday. Last hit Saturday it went 10.896 @ 156.08. I was trying to use the same slicks I had but they are goners. My 60 fts were all over the place. I went out first round Sunday morning. I thought I was hot but I wasn't and gave up the stripe to a slow car. Im putting new slicks on it and getting ready for Tx Motorplex in two weeks.

I measured the ones I have now. They are only 48". I built them just to keep it off the bumper. When I was unloading the tires that was back when the truck was on ladder bars. Cant remember how long the old ones were, I know at least a foot longer. I banged my shins on them enough times. |

I tried to put this in a window. This was a time trial against my buddy Jason Owens who was the runner up this weekend. He ran 147 on this pass. I was 7.74 @ 122 and 10.896 @ 156. This thing is a blast. |
Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Almost makes it look like you are just out for a easy Sunday drive...in a 150+ mph brick...

Thanks, I'm thinking it's running out of roll cage. No Funny Car cage in the plan. |
Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
Well guys I've been at the Tx Motorplex since Wednesday evening. We made two time trials Thursday and ran first round that evening. I showed up with new slicks and was having 60ft problems. They were slow and inconsistent like it was turning the tire on the hit. The slicks usually need at least 6 or 8 passes to come in as many of you know. I survived first round that night with a crappy light against someone with a worse light. I went up for second round Friday morning and set up hot not trusting the 60ft. Well it hooked and the 60 was where I should have been. I ran one of my old buds Tony Jones. He treed me but I was so hot I caught him before the 1/8th mile and started peddling it. I rode it out and cut the stripe in by .002 I was 10.85 he was 10.88. So i was done for the first race. This is a double race weekend, they called us this morning to have a time trial behind Super Stock and it started raining. Then it rained and rained. We are supposed to go straight into first round of the second race in the morning maybe!

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
And now for the funny part! I had some luck on one thing. The old 454 emblems on my truck I bought here in 1988 at the Super Chevy race I runnered up at. I got back from round 2 and noticed something wrong. One blew off or fell off somewhere.[IMG]https://oi911.photobucket.com/albums...ganw/018_2.jpg[/IMG]

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
And now the funny part. I went down the return road and talked to one of the tech guys and told him what happened. Comp Eliminator was running at the time. I asked if I could run down and look for it. He said go ahead and while your down there say something to the safety crew. I went down there and Doug Wood one our long time Div 4 guys was there. I laughingly told him what happened and he said if anyone found it he would bring it to me. I told him if it's still worth a s*** that's cool. I was up at the starting line watching the last of the races and he rolled up on his scooter. He said I've been looking for you! He reached in his pocket and guess what he had?[IMG]https://oi911.photobucket.com/albums...ganw/020_3.jpg[/IMG]

I dont know, only if he broke out. This was the longest weirdest weekend of racing I've had. Two time trials Thursday (which sucked) and first round that night. Lost second round on Friday. Almost got a time trial Saturday morning but it started raining while we were in the lanes. They dried the track but next time they call eliminations for race 2. I was .008 on the tree and set up hot. I got a gift my opponent was ..686. We were supposed to run second round on Sunday but it ended up a total wash out. Got up early Monday morning becuase we usually run early and didnt get to run second round till yesterday afternoon. I added a 2 numbers to the transbrake since I just had a .008 the day before. But bam I was -.001 red. The truck acted like it didnt want to pull all the way to 7500 either. My mph was off and I was way slow on the et. So after being at the track it boils down to this. Thursday- Two time trials and a first round win. Friday- Second round loss. Saturday- First round win Sunday- Rain Rain Rain Monday- Second round loss |
Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime
I left out Tuesday, worn out and have to work. lol
