A great shoot out, with both cars and drivers up to the challenge. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif to Frank and Marlin.

Re: Gobi Deuce vs. Cran Red Deuce at SCR7
 

What a weekend....What a race!!! What I would really like to mention about the race and the show in general was how close of a family this group is. I had never met Brian Henderson (bkhpah) until Thursday when he greeted our truck with the biggest smile at the entrance of the Thursday night gathering. After I made a few practice runs on Friday I had my hood open and Shonye had noticed that my water pump was going bad. I still made another practice run and after that one it was realized that I had rolled my belt and that the pump had gotten worse. At that point it was completely evident that I should not race anymore or risk my fan going through the radiator, hood, or causing some really extensive damage. Brian had walked up and tool a look and said that I definitely should NOT race anymore. All of the sudden he said if I got a water pump he could change it out quick. I was shocked that such an offer was made. All of the sudden I had a Belair Bob throw me the keys to his rental and Joey & Erik Barr volunteering to go with so I would not forget any of the things needed to have the pump changed. After getting the parts which BTW even Charley had sent out for a fuel pump that he had delivered: Brian Henderson, Joe Sweezy, and Joey Barr tore that car apart and changed that pump so quickly that my head spun. They worked lightning quick in the Sahara Desert equivalent heat sweating bullets, on there backs, getting dirty, etc. I did go on to win the shootout because of those guys efforts and for that I will be in debt to you fellas! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I know that at one point there was about 20 people around the car and there was tons of people offering anti freeze, tools, etc., and if I forgot to mention all of you I appreciate it! Thanks to the Clary's for putting the biggest, best, and friendliest Supercar show in the world! What cars! What a group of people! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Marlin was awesome and I was honored to race against him. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

What a great weekend. The Super Car Workshop crew was happy to lend a hand. I was eager to see the shootout happen and when we found out that you were having trouble we thought we could take a look. Your father was convinced the day was over, and I could see the dissapointment in your faces. I told Joe "let's fix it" and the race was on! We were glad to help out. It was a bit hot under the hood, but it was worth it. Just one of many great moments of the weekend. See Belair, I do smile once in a while...BKH https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Gobi Deuce vs. Cran Red Deuce at SCR7
 

What no one realized was just how close Frank was to catastrophe...not only was the bearing shot in his water pump, but it had been put under so much stress from the high rpm runs he had made on the worn pump that it actually had cracked the casting of the pump itself... Another run with the old pump would have almost certainly ended in disaster. i was VERY glad we opted to change the pump rather than "put it on the trailer", as it seemed to run better than ever with the new one, and made Frank alot less irritable for the rest of the weekend! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif I guess we'll all have to go paint Marlin's house next weekend or something to make it even... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif Seriously though, it was great to see Frank able to not only run again, but actually WIN the 3 race shootout. There could not have been 2 better matched cars, with both Marlin and Frank running VERY similar times consistently all day. This coulda been anyone's race to win, and I'm sure Marlin will be back next year with a vengance! Great sportsmanship on both driver's parts, and a couple of great races to watch. How many more days til SCR8? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Gobi Deuce vs. Cran Red Deuce at SCR7
 

Glad to hear that you won, Frankie... Soooooo, how many car lengths you want me to spot you when we race? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif I can't believe that you bring back a 14 second slip after all this 12's talk. <---------JK

Too bad you didn't bring your ringer driver- he probably would've ripped the shifter right out of the floor and tossed it into the back seat. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Congrats anyway- good thing you didn't lose, and above all, didn't blow up your car thanks to all of your buddies at the reunion. The Franks owes you guys!

Re: Gobi Deuce vs. Cran Red Deuce at SCR7
 

I was thinking over the weekend..the new match should be opened to all Deuces..run some elimination and the winner goes home with the big Trophy and a little bragging rights till the next one, a new one of Course..Joe you up for driving down the strip!!!????. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Gobi Deuce vs. Cran Red Deuce at SCR7
 

That's a good idea, an annual deuce shootout!

Re: Gobi Deuce vs. Cran Red Deuce at SCR7
 

Besides that we have a whole year yet for some new smack to start flying and new grudge races to meet at SCR8 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: Gobi Deuce vs. Cran Red Deuce at SCR7
 

TTT...........you guys ready?????????????????????

Re: Gobi Deuce vs. Cran Red Deuce at SCR7
 

So Spotts. What have you run with that sled this year so far? Better those times at all? I hope for your sake that you have...... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Gobi Deuce vs. Cran Red Deuce at SCR7
 

I hope for your sake you bring some extra hose clamps and a 9/16" wrench this year. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: Gobi Deuce vs. Cran Red Deuce at SCR7

Re: Gobi Deuce vs. Cran Red Deuce at SCR7
 

Nope, I just hooked up some nitrous https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif That should get it done for me. I hiring Ed Hedrick to do the drivin!

Re: Gobi Deuce vs. Cran Red Deuce at SCR7
 

I agree, for SCR8, let all Deuces participate in the Shootout.

May the best DEUCE win. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif


As per the big blocks, in the street class, I hear we may have a ringer or two. Seems one of the Yenko boys has done a little tweeking to his Camaro. I have only heard about the car, but from what I am hearing, you will not want to miss seeing this car in action. Other big blocks to watch, Barnhart's ZL-1, Hassett's B-M Camaro, Shor's Chevelle and of course Annie in her Nova.

Would be interesting to calulate the total worth of the cars racing. Would raise a few eyebrows.
