I'll be there, no car though - still finishing up the install of the Blueprint cam. Yes, you did tell me to do it 5 years ago - but some of us guys learn the hard way https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

Yep - I'll be there .....

I thought that Spotts character was gonna have his Deuce on-hand with his new cheater cylinder heads and GobiBeige-Print camshaft ?? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

I guess I'll just havta bring the 'ole Biscayne then ........ https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

I'll have it ready for the Englishtown race in July, the SCR race in Sept. and high hopes for the Stanton race in Sept.

You have a roller cam in that Biscayne?

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

A roller cam ? What's that ?? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

Yep, and you didn't 'inhale' either https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

Well, I've reserved a room in Stanton, so now I'm committed! Hope they don't put me next door to those noisey Canucks...https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

M: what do you have left to button up the Deuce?

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

Rob, I've had a room reserved in Stanton since January. Is that why people keep telling me I should be committed?!!!

Deb will be piloting the Chevelle all weekend and Reid is really looking forward to meeting all of his P/S heroes!!! We're going to round up an extra helmet. Maybe some of you guys could take him for a ride in a real musclecar!!! See ya Thursday afternoon.

Hey Pete: anyone riding down with ya? would be a hoot to holler at Gary again! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

Cool! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

I'll be there Friday morning, driving all Thurs. night https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

You guys drive safe, and we'll see you on Friday.

Rumor has it ..... Marlin's buying the beer for those that are from Michigan, Ontario, and Missouri. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif (He hasn't seen how much those Canadians can drink ......) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

Hey Pete: any chance you, or possibly Casey, could save me a parking spot @ the track somewhere near you and the rest of the "clan"?

I'm not sure when we'll get out of here, so we may have to drive all night and roll into the track Friday morning...and I don't want to have to park in the back 40! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

Are you bringin' the Queen Mary, or the Suburban with the 24'er ?

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

I've seen Pete and JJ drink when I was at the Sept race a few years ago, I couldn't afford their 'talent'. I'll be sure to buy my new buddy Casey just enough brew so that he spills his racing secrets though, https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

The Sub...

Thanks! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Welp, got in just shy of 4am this morning (Sunday), got a few hours of sleep, then spent the day with the family. Had around 72 cars and AWESOME weather in Stanton. Barometer wasn't anything to write home about, but that's racin'. Lots of cool cars, as usual, and well worth the 1600+ miles of driving. The Canucks were out in force, and as usual it was a riot a minute hangin' with those guys! Got to meet Pete's family as well as Marlin's, so now I can put some faces to the stories!

The top 8 cars were either Mopar or Chevrolet, with JJ (#1), Pete (#3), and I (#7) representing the Chevys. JJ went an 11.99@118(mph?), Pete went 12.20@114(mph?), and I went [email protected], but all 3 of us won our shootouts. I believe Casey went some 13.4s in the 'Scayne, and even let Marlin play backseat driver on one of his passes! Benoit's LT-1 'Vette went 12.52@111!

Jimi Day and David Chamberlain from Imagine Motorsports showed up, and we got to visit for a quite a while about what projects they had in the shop, future projects, all about the HR454SS, the Inciner8tor, and the rest of the cool stuff they got going.

I gotta thank Big Dog and John for helping me wrench on the car, and for the "go-fast" advice. Wish we'd had more time to "tinker", but the *real* race cars https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif were breathing down our necks wanting onto the track.

I also made a couple of pulls on a chassis dyno...the ole yellow submarine made a respectable 416rwhp at 6400rpms! I would have thought the manifolds would have kept the peak under 6k, but dynos generally don't lie. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif The R3 Stude put down 365rwhp, and managed a 12.85 not long after that. A big THANKS to Steve Clay (269-420-0875) for lettin' us spin up the dyno!

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

Cool! Great news Rob! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

I have just one question....what did the Gobi Beige sled run? Did he bring it? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

Yep - the 'ole Biscayne went 13.49@104 on Saturday. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif As usual, I had a blast .... Met up with Marlin, and gave him a harrassin' as only he deserves. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif He can now be referred to as *ballast*, as I put him in the backseat to try to get some traction out of the 'Scayne. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif He wasn't able to bring his Deuce, as it is still apart. He promises to have it ready for September. If he doesn't, his harrassin' by me goes up a notch. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Here's a pic of the LT-1 Vette that ran the 12.50's ....

The "Stroker Boy" moniker on his trailer is one of my fine touches to his pit area ........ https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

Who owns that 72 Blue SS454 Chevelle?
Was Dave McCutcheon there with his 1970 Mist Green L34 Chevelle?..what he run?
Thanks.

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

Great pics Casy...

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

I want to say that the owner's name is Dave Price ?? or Place ?? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif I'm terrible remembering names, but the car was originally a 402, and he converted it to a 454. Strangely optioned car out of Illinois.

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

Do you mean Gary Place from Homer Illinois?
If so,I thought that was him,but last time I saw that car it had a 402 in it.That explains it,Thanks.

Re: Pure Stock Race in Stanton on June 25th & 26th
 

YEP !! That's it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Yeah, I've "upgraded" my arch enemy within the last year. I went from an R3 Stude to those 440-6 'Bees...kinda like going from the Joker to Mr. Freeze! The thing with those 'Bees is that they hook so well that they just mat it out of the hole...they ALWAYS post the best 60 ft. times of any car their, so you always start off behind for the first 1/8 or so. And they're all 3 so darn consistent, that you'd better be on your game each and every time or you're in trouble.

Yep, Dave (NeatSS) was there...BUT, the question isn't what did HE run, but what did his WIFE run?!? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif And better yet, who has the better reaction times in the family?!? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Oh, and as you said, I believe Gary Place is the guy. I kept hearing it on the loud speaker, and it seemed as I'd heard the name before, but wasn't sure where... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif
