Supercar Reunion #8
 

Been working on the Supercar Reunion this afternoon.

As in the past, I have made arrangements for the Collinsville Holiday Inn to serve as the host hotel, the show to be at the Collinsville Gateway Center and drag racing at nearby Gateway International.

Thursday, Sept. 1, 2005- meet and greet in hotel parking lot. This has become an event in its self. Lots of beer, snacks and BS. And, first chance to see the supercars.

Friday, Sept. 2, 2005-drag racing, move-in for indoor show, banquet. As usual, we will have a a couple of special guests (TBA) on hand to fill us in on how it was in the "good old days".

Saturday, Sept. 3, 2005-indoor supercar show and outdoor musclecar crusie-in. As we did last year, we have reserved all of the available space at the center, and besides filling the center hall with supercars, we are working on a special display or two.

This year at the track, we hope to add and/or expand a couple of things.
1. Yenko Deuce Shootout #2, open to all 1970 Yenko/COPO Deuces.
2. Nostalgia drag car shootout, for vintage drag cars.
3. It looks like the Factory stock/FAST guys will be attending again this year.
4. TBA. Stay tuned.

As he did last year, Bob McClurg, a freelance photographer, will be attending SCR8. So far, Bob's handy work at SCR7 has appeared in Chevy Rumble and Drag Racer Magazine, with coverage of the event scheduled to be in the March issue of Super Chevy, and several cars to be in the various issues of Super Chevy's Nova, Chevelle and Camaro bi-annual publications.

Will be fun to see if Marlin, or another Deuce owner can get the BIG trophy away from Frank.

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

Hey thats MY trophy! Even has MY name on it! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Thinking about another big race gives me the gitters. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

I've been waiting for this announcement!!

Frankie my friend, it's 2005 and your reign as The Dragging Deuce King is over https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif Time to start talking trash for the Deuce Shootout at SCR8. BTW; Neal is coming with me as my engine tuner https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

A word of advice though, Tommy K is bringing his Wallace a/t deuce, it's stock, it's fast, and he's got the Englishtown Raceway Park timeslips to prove it. So, we better start chasing the 13.90's, like now https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

All deuce owners in attendance, you need to bring your stuff to the line, it is something you can't put into words - it's that cool. Nowhere else will you get a chance to line up against other deuces - your pick of 12-15 of them!

The SCR8 Deuce Shootout - don't miss it.

Hmmmm. Marlin I already smoked you once so It should be a piece of cake to do it again...... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: Supercar Reunion #8

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

Marlin...Bring a Potato to bring his exhaust even with yours.....

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

As Fun as it is to watch all the cars race,it was even cooler to see literally everyone who frequents this site hanging around the starting line/bleachers.
That's the place to get acquainted. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

If my Duece is done I'm gonna have it tuned by Grumpy ...

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

Let me under your hood again Frankie, this time I'll fix your carb https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

On a serious note; I'm really glad your H2O pump hung in there, and didn't grenade on you. I'm also happy that you were able to enlist some folks to get you back together, wouldn't have been nearly as much fun if we didn't have our showdown - even if you beat me!

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

Good luck! When I bought my deuce, I called him to see if he would do the engine for me. He thought about it for a minute, then said 'no'. I said 'ok'! What else can you say https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Ok seriously. The exhaust is SLIGHTLY different but the car is still running manifolds and smog. My car also is like 9.8:1 compression, has not had a tune up in years, ran 28lbs of tire preassure on unbalanced tires, ran cheap 93 octane gas from the station across the street from the track, etc, etc, etc. As far as I am concearned it was MORE than a fair race. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

Ok I talked to Budnate and I will donate the SCR8 Deuce shoot out trophy to the club. We will be talking about doing a cooler trophy for this reunion! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Marlin you said that Neal is gonna be your crew chief.....well maybe I can get bkh really drunk at Vette Fest this March and beg him and the SUPERCAR WORKSHOP to be mine! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

Franke..Anybody can beat my cars in a drag race when I'm driving...

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

A guy works out in the shop all day...and you guys go crazy...one thing that has been in the back of the mind is what alterations from stock is allowed???...you guys need to set some rules in place now to be set in stone as this will get more serious as the years go by as to who is taking home the big a$$ trophy...and bragging rights for a year...

Hurry up Bob and throw that car together...ya know Grey Racing Paint is the in thing with some stickers!!!!{grey primer} thats what the girlfriend called it years ago....racing paint,HA!...lmao

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

If I were you guys, I would not get too cocky. Remember there is a certain Canadian that is known to own a pretty wicked COPO Nova.

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

The short block is in the shop now...dammit I think I bought the wrong crank https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

I think you Bought the wrong car.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

I see your point Budnate, but as long as it's got the manifolds, and the skinnies, it's fair game I guess. We are all such rookies, that even if Belair shows up with a F.A.S.T. deuce, it might not matter.

I just like squaring off against another Deuce. I was up against Schoneye a few times, traction was king!

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

Yea, we need to have some respect for our original owners - 'cause they're old https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif You know, respect your elders https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Frankie, I don't even want to know what my TRW 11:1's tech in at, probably less than the 10:1's that Neal stuck in your holes. We should both have JE's which have real CR's, oh well, I have some work to do with the suspension. We don't have to worry about each other as much as we do Pete Simpson and Tommy K https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

Pete S runnin' 12's....im out. He already smoked my car when Neal owned it! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

Tommy K runnin 13.90's 30 years ago.....that is closer to where I was at with a 14.250. I have some work to do!!

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

do what you think is best..I just think. so there is no hard feelings down the road about a purpose built car you guys might want to set some very basic parameters for people to follow... I know its about having fun..but when competition comes into play at anything some are way more serious about winning at any cost...we have seen it before..it just makes sense to head that one off at the start of a really fun thing.


like all stock cars on bias ply tires and the only mods allowed being headers or ex work as some guys like that look...

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

I prefer, "sensitive senior", and have decided to put a 6 banger in the deuce, and paint it pink. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/Charley.gif

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

Budnate, I see where you are comning from, but would rather not have a bunch of rules, which might elimnate some cars. It is run what ya brung, FOR FUN, with the sole purpose of the shootout(s) is to get as many supercars as we can to make a pass or two.

There has been talk of having a big block shoot, which we would take part in, even though we can not run the numbers that Dru, Pete, Mark and some of the others run. Does not matter.

Here is what I am talking about. At SCR6, Rob got the chance to race Barnhart. Ken ran an easy 10 something, we were in the 12s, but a Kodak moment for us, with our Yenko leaving the line against Ken's ZL-1. Priceless https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

Frank:
13.90 was 30 years ago, I am 30 years older and so is
the Car !!! I will be happy if I run in the middle 14."s .
Frank you and Marlin should spot me a car, it"s a Automatic!

Re: Supercar Reunion #8
 

John Cronkleton ran a 13.91 @101 MPH in his Blue Yenko Deuce @SCR7 last year.
