Re: Northeast FAST DRAGS & Factory Stock drag race
 

M I am afraid to weigh my car! I just don't want to back my own wieght out of the equasion and see what I have become!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Re: Northeast FAST DRAGS & Factory Stock drag race
 

I betcha the XT is heavier. Some of the Pure Stock guys played around with some tires & wheels a while back, on different makes/models, and I *believe* they found that the base steelies were usually heavier than their upscale counterparts...

Re: Northeast FAST DRAGS & Factory Stock drag race
 

I weighed XT- IF- UC- and CL wheels. They weighed in at 20 lbs each ..... without the dog dish. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

[/ QUOTE ] Ok my man, I just want to make sure I have some recruits if the going gets a little tough. I can relate to this match race...Frank aka Dickie Harrell against Marlin aka Grumpy Jenkins and you race the winner. You must be Wally Booth. AHHH the early 70's were did they go. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: Northeast FAST DRAGS & Factory Stock drag race
 

If Frank and Marlin keep snacking,you're going to have to have the starting line facing downhill, on the side of a mountain, so these cars can avoid a melt-down trying to get off the starting line--------- https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Northeast FAST DRAGS & Factory Stock drag race
 

Maybe Marlin can let me drive https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif and save about 70 lbs. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

My money is on Marlin. Boy, can that Gobi Deuce fly. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: Northeast FAST DRAGS & Factory Stock drag race
 

I had a few gremlins to work out. With the help of the other FAST guys, especially Brian Rodekopf of Kansas City, we got the car into a respectable time category. Keep in mind that it was 96% humidity, and a slippery starting line - so we were looking at MPH instead of time. Brian made a run in the car too, might just have myself a ringer driver as he posted 4mph higher than my best!

Re: Northeast FAST DRAGS & Factory Stock drag race
 

OK-OK I Guess that will have to do. That is all the info I will be getting until the big show down. At least you made it down the slippery, humid track without breakage. Sam https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Northeast FAST DRAGS & Factory Stock drag race
 

The rain date for this event has been officially changed by Raceway Park to:

Saturday November 13th

Details at www.musclecarrace.com

Thank You Marlin, for making the trip, and all the others who did brave the weather, sorry it didn't turn out as planned, hopefully the cool November air will help get those ET's down really low.

The 11.40's were run by Greg Gessler, one of the Top FAST competitors in the country. He is a genius with Buicks.
