Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime

Well I'm supposed to be back in Belle Rose, La again right now for the Laris Motorsports Cajun' Sports Nationals but! Mother Nature has rearranged those plans. They have rescheduled that race for the first weekend of May. No fun for me until April 19th in Noble, Oklahoma.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime

We are two weeks out from our next Divisional in Noble Ok. Two weeks after that we will be back in Belle Rose La for the rescheduled Cajun Sports Nationals. Then two weeks later it's back to the Tx Motorplex for the double divisional. That's four races in six weeks! Actually half of the season in a short period of time. I saw online the other day that Prescott Raceway in Prescott Arkansas is having a 7.0 1/8th mile index race this weekend. They allow throttle stops so I can run it. And it's a .500 Pro Tree like we use in Super Street. I normally only run 7.60 to 7.70 in the 1/8th on my 10.90 stuff but I have had to set up for 6.90 1/8th mile twice. It will be fun to just go race and hit the tree some before we get busy. If anyone is close by to Prescott come on out.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime

Dang I haven't posted in awhile. Prescott was fun. My first pass I was .013 on the tree 7.005 @ 125mph. Second pass I was 7.005 also. It looked like I knew what I was doing. I redlit third round and Jarrod's car broke so we just cooked and hung out the rest of the evening. Noble Ok didn't go to well. The truck did fine and ran good all weekend. We had good air all weekend. The truck was faster there than it's ever been running almost 154mph. I was in the first pair down track Sunday morning first round. I had to run my old friend Chucky Weir. He was .017 to my ughh .040 on the tree. He killed a bunch on the top end and I thought I took the stripe but I missed it by .01 or 24 inches. He went through on a 10.94 to my 10.95. He gave me room but I screwed it up.We are heading back to Belle Rose La this week for the rescheduled Cajun Sports Nationals. Maybe I can get it together and do some good.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime

Well I've been so busy racing and working I haven't posted. We went back to Belle Rose La for the Sports Nats. I redlit third round by .005 but I made some points. We just had the Double Divisional at the Tx Motorplex last weekend. I lost first round by .01 in a top end battle. I redlit third round of the second race because something caught my eye. It was bad like -.200 bad. The round before I made a perfect run! .000 on the tree and 10.900. I wont race anymore until September since I'm five races in and we have three left. We have a double race in Tulsa in September then our last Division race is in Lufkin Tx the week after the Fall Nationals at the Tx Motorplex.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime

On another note. I actually logged on because I had an email from Photobucket that my account was going to be cancelled. Apparently they changed their terms but didn't give anyone a notice. They are charging $5.00 a month for their services. I went ahead and reupped it because people actually still read this stuff. Maybe I need to start a GoFundMe for the knowledge I'm spreading? Lol

Hey, sorry I missed you at the Motorplex. I was planning to go but things changed, and I couldn't make it. I will try to make it to your next Motorplex race.

We don't even have one here do we? That's the reason I started using Photobucket 14 years ago. Even if there is a free way to fix it I'm not taking the time to do it. One day my masterpiece will just go away. Lol

I was wondering if you were coming out. I tried to call you a few weeks ago.

Re: Ok Boys and Girls it's Storytime

This is by far one of my favorite threads on this site. Any plans for the truck over the winter? My stepson and I are going to be working on his '72 C1500 (used to be mine) with a 406 over the winter to get it ready to hopefully make his first quarter mile passes this coming spring and summer.
