Full race big block!
Lol
Should be a great time! Fingers crossed I make this one. :cool1:
Thats all i got to is drive to mc.donalds. i got this. I Am about a half a mile away.
Hell yeah Todd! That's it!
Hopefully we see the old Gould car out this year too.
I would love to have it out but the few added hp is going to make me do alot more suspension work. Plus i still have a few more grand to spend on the engine build.
This might be a conflict now. April 25th is also the date for the Kentucky Car wars race at Kentucky Dragway. They have an 11.50 class on a pro tree. I might take a crack at that.
Who is ready!?!? Who is not!!!?
1.5 months left......
Not me!!! I haven't got much done lately. Lack of motivation and time I guess. Black car is ready but the red one is still in the same spot as it last came off of the dyno.
1.5 months....that’s how much longer BES is suppose to have my block for machining. [emoji15]Quote:

Picked up the trans today. Hope to get it in the car here shortly and get it back running. New billet input shaft / new billet direct drum / new and better planetary gears / upgraded forward and reverse clutches / lengthened output shaft / 1/4NPS to -6AN coolant fittings. I am will be ready for the event.
Working on clutch setup trying to get things dialed in. Can't wait to get out and see if the car's competitive. Ready for warmer weather!
I will not be ready. Big engines cost to damn much. Im going for the n/a title.
No passes on your combo yet?Quote:

I agree Brian. I keep changing my heads so its going to take a few more gs to get done.
You gotta commit to a combo, if you keep changing your mind it won't ever get done!
THIS! I changed my mind on my old Coupe so much, so that Sold it to Shayne as I was disgusted with it. I am very glad that he finished it and got it to where it is now as it looks & runs Killer!Quote:

Find something and then just commit to it 150% until you get it running, you can always tweak and fine-tune things after you get it going. Having a car that is running and you can play with is way more motivating than seeing it just sit on jack stands or cribs every time you go out to the garage while you chase combo after combo.Quote:

Set a goal. Work towards that goal and not change your mind. Once completed, adjust as needed. Oh how I wish I could just follow these simple rules!
But Greg, your car is a very nice ride. I keep hoping Ill see it out each year. If you ever need help, let me know. Id be glad to come up and lend a hand. Just to see it out! There's been a couple times that I thought about trying to snag it from ya!
I agree guys. Just going with a little bit bigger heads. It just takes alot of time to save. I almost have enough to finish the engine
Going with a glide?Quote:

Don't threaten me with a good time! lol Thanks for the offer on the help. I just gained some time to work on it a good bit so let's see what happens.Quote:

I know I seen a date on FB for August I believe it was, I'd like to setup a date a little sooner than that, I'm thinking maybe Friday July 24th. Let me know thoughts on this and again I'm sorry for the late notice.
Sounds good to me.
Sounds good to me. Sucks what they are doing across the country with this crap still. Nothing but bullshit excuses now. We can protest and riot with no distance but don't go hang out at the track in the sun with a handful of your buddies.
Nail this date down and let me know the particulars so that I can update the DD Shootout page. :cool1:Quote:

Call a buddy, bring a friend, but don't you dare miss this!! I expect to see a ton of updated times on the list after this event!
I'm there.
Will be there with camera in hand...
Updated the SBZ Event on FB!
Thanks!
Planning to be there.
