F.A.S.T. Indiana Shootout
 

Hey who's going to the Shootout May 7th at US41 in Morocco Indiana?I see on the YearOne BB a few familiar names signed up,but are any of you planning on Spectating like me?
They say Gates open 9AM,and it's over at 4PM.
Just to see COPOPETE alone is worth the price of admission!
It's only 90 minutes away from me.I'm there https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

HERE'S THE LINE UP

Re: F.A.S.T. Indiana Shootout
 

Man, Mr 70! I think you've got me over rated!!!! But thanks. Truth is..... I'm still not positive I'm going..... sorry. I do have a spot reserved, but with planting season being in full swing, I have to wait on the weather. If we get dumped on with rain the day before, I will be there. To bad, would be real interested in seeing ya. You just might yet!

I'm probably 50/50 right now. Depends firstly on my pregnant wife, and secondly on work. I hate not to go, as its under a 10 hour drive...

Re: F.A.S.T. Indiana Shootout
 

Well, talked to the wife and some of my cronies...looks like we're gonna give it a shot. That's "if" everything here @ work is kosher... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: F.A.S.T. Indiana Shootout
 

I'll be there with the Biscayne.

If you've never met Pete before, just look for the guy in the pits that needs to hike up his drawers ....... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: F.A.S.T. Indiana Shootout
 

The price of admission is worth watching some of the best duke it out. It's nice to watch some of the fastest and nicest Mopars lose to the Bowtie bergad.

You gonna have your ride there Jim?

Re: F.A.S.T. Indiana Shootout
 

Yes! Working on the oil pan gasket today. Motor/trans/clutch/driveshaft by Saturday. Put some miles on it and an alignment by the race.

Re: F.A.S.T. Indiana Shootout
 

Well, got the baby's room finished up, so the wife is "happier"...now I can *hopefully* sneak over to the shop and finish up getting ready for Friday.

Anyone else from here planning on making the trip to US41? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: F.A.S.T. Indiana Shootout
 

I'll be there to watch!!!

Re: F.A.S.T. Indiana Shootout
 

Will your co-pilot be able to make the trip? If not, say "howdy" to him...https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: F.A.S.T. Indiana Shootout

Re: F.A.S.T. Indiana Shootout
 

Well, unfortunately no .20s here, but I did score a best of 12.32@113. I was gonna scan the slip, but my scanner ain't working and it's 3am...think I'll go to bed!

Johnny Cat got a taste of a slick track and 6" tires. Nothing like kicken' her sideways at the 1/8 mile mark... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Re: F.A.S.T. Indiana Shootout
 

Johnny Cat is used to driving trains it's a little harder to get them sideways. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Hmmmmm--I guess being an expecting Father puts your nerve endings on HIGH ALERT---If you find out your wife is having Twins ,--You'll probably have the reaction time of a Humming Bird and run Mid-11's https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif------ https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: F.A.S.T. Indiana Shootout
 

Yeah, that pro tree was a ball buster! And to make matters worse, every once in a while a glitch in the tree software would cause it to unknowingly switch to the sportsman sequence...talk about throwing you off your game!!

Re: F.A.S.T. Indiana Shootout
 

My first try was .4 flat.....Marlin you better be practicing! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Re: F.A.S.T. Indiana Shootout
 

I keep having more and more of a blast with this Biscayne ! I was able to get in pretty consistent 13.4x times, with a best all day of a 13.42@104 . That is the best the car has run yet. I can complain a little bit about the washboard-esque starting line, giving me some wheel hop fits, but other than that I had a good time. If I could get it to leave just a little bit harder, the car would be movin' pretty good in my book ! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif I am simply AMAZED at how HARD this 427 pulls ! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif All of my 13.4x runs were shifting it at 65-6600 RPM ! That is with .024 intake, and .028 exhaust lash. (Thanks Pete !) Now if I could just get it weighed to have my curiousity fulfilled on how heavy this thing is, I'd be mucho-happy. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

The best part was - - My Pure Stock 427/425 horse Biscayne was paired up against a Stock Appearing '70 LT-1 Corvette. I ended up beating him 2 outta 2. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

I also met L78Impala (Bill Maloney) and his buddy, who are BigCar lovers too. Nice guys ! Hope to see y'all at future events ! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

PS - Rob .... I got some more information on the Nickey Biscayne that "popped" up in conversation by one of the spectators ...... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Re: F.A.S.T. Indiana Shootout
 

Casey:

What were your short times? Johnny &amp; I watched you (from the line) run several times, and it looked like it was transferring it's weight VERY nicely. I just wasn't sure how a big car on coils &amp; skinnies would react, but it looks like it works fine!

So, was the Marauder/Biscayne match-up early in the day a peak into a future "Big Cars Gone Bad" article? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: F.A.S.T. Indiana Shootout
 

Ummmm ..... errr ..... Short times ...... &lt;yeh&gt; ... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Anywhere from a 2.08 - best to a 2.4x something - worse. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

In my feeble defense, this is only my second time racing a 4-speed car, so I have a BUNCH of learnin' to do. Rumor has it, that I'm just a pair of cowboy boots away from being able to rip gears ........ https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

...... and all this time, I thought that my checkboard Vans - Spicolli shoes, were the ticket ...... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Hey Casey, the pics on V8Buick can't be seen unless you are a logged in member. Any way to allow them to be seen by the members here on the Yenko board? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
