I knew I took that day off for something. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif Roadtrip!!

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

Most definately a road trip! Come on up and have a ball! Lets put it this way, I am pulling 700 miles for a race that basically pays nothing, I am 60 miles away from the Olds Homecoming show (but will not attend), and I will do nothing but race and have a huge grin on my face! Lets line 'em up! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

Anybody hear any news?..Who did what & at how Fast??

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

Only thing I found was on Moparts

US131 F.A.S.T. / Pure Stock Races

There were two 69 Chevelle 300 Deluxe post cars there. One SS396, one 350 / 300 horsepower car. The elcheapo 300 horse car was running 12.70-12.80's. Flat awesuuuum!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

I was looking for Rob but I heard he had trouble with his tow rig?? That sucks........

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

On the pure stock side Copo Pete beat Jimmy Johnsons Corvette, but Pete lost out to Bob K. in a Hemi Barracuda. Wayne Nelson was the fastest F.A.S.T. car with a 10.79. He was able to power past everyone, even when he got loose on the starting line. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

I got there really late Saturday and only caught finals. Don't really have a lot of details on the numbers but here are some pictures...

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

We call him the Omish tuner! Great guy. Car flat hauls. Has to be one of the best sleeprs I have ever seen. 300 horse small block,cast intake with Q jet https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif Column shift https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif 3.90 gears. Ran 12.80's most of the day. He was p&g'd with the breast pump, came in exactly at 360 inches. With the few naysayers of late, all quick 8 cars were asked to meet together in a line for tech. Pulled the valve covers on all 8. Everyone passed as far as part#'s and rocker arms (no roller crap). Pumped JJ and Six Pak Bob as well. All passed with flying colours. The tech guy was rough on them all https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif
I ran Miss Penninton first round and won. Second round was against JJ. I feed him the tree roots first and was in the final against Bob. Treed him buy two tenths, but the hemi outpowered me. I lost by .07! Fun time. Won $300 from Year One https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif Thanks fellas. Won a brand new posi carrier of my choice from Eaton for the best reaction time of the week-end https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gifThanks fellas. And won some race fuel donated by Major Nelson (Wayne with thee Vette) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif
Thanks Wayne. Had a greet week-end. Darren ,you should have introduced yourself!
Peter

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

Dan, sorry no camera, no pictures. The silver 350 post car is owned by a guy named Brian McDowell from Three Rivers Michigan. He did a restoration a couple of years ago and blueprinted the engine over last winter. He's a friend of Tom Miller. Tom hangs out on the www.v8buick.com site in the "other guys" area. He can put you in touch.

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

Major Nelson.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif
Pete,put that $300 into the Monte Carlo...Damn it! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

Awesome pics Darren. Thanks!

Pete...sounds like you had a great time!


I've got to get to Speedworld here in AZ with my Chevelle. Mockingbird812 Sam...wanna meet me there? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

That really was a great time. Somebody said there were 74 Factory Stock cars there. Wish it'd been 75 with the yellow Yenko. Bummer, Rob.

Ran against a supercharged F code 57 Ford Custom 2 door and almost blew it underestimating his top end. Winning the grand door prize of a new set of Firestone Wide Ovals really made it a sweet weekend! You can't believe the Lamb Kabobs in the parking lot Friday night. Even the second dozen that I almost ate were fabulous. Lots of carnage all over in the morning after: Wide open trailers, gumbo soup, dead aluminum soldiers everywhere.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

That must have been the order of the weekend https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

My first event and I can't believe the calibre of cars that were in attendance.Best show/race I've ever been to.Local car shows just won't be the same anymore.
Met great people and had a fantastic time.

Glad you all liked the lamb kabobs!

Just wait till Stanton! We'll get the parking lot party to another level.

Hey Benoit.......I'm gonna work on my burnouts.

Thanks to all that made my weekend so memorable!

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

Bruno,

Great to meet you and I am glad that you had a good time! I have always wanted to park close to Pete and JJ (for the beer), but you are making the pull of the Canadian group too much to stay away from!!! Great looking/ running car and the kabobs were excellent. At this race, I have realized that you start out coming to race, but the friends, food, and fun are what you really remember out of the event! (I hate to say this out loud, but I think that the bulk of my 'friends' are in the the parking lot!)

Even though it was hot (yes, even by Missouri standards it was hot!) the car ran the best times that it has ever run at one of these events! [email protected] during Friday T-n-T. 13.46 @102.7 during eleminations in 93 degree heat!! Travel over 700 miles just to get paired up with your traveling buddy in the shootout! I ran aganst Steve Hodges '70 440+6 'Cuda and took him out in 2 rounds. I believe that we have slated a rematch at KCIR sometime this summer! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif The car weighed in at 4177# and I still am running the 3.23 gearing!

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

Thanks so much Rusty!
It was great racing but the people made it memorable!

see ya in Stanton...........and bring your appetite!

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

Bruno..... You and the lady made the party.
Rusty, I can't believe your car went that fast after you ate that much!
Thanks
Peter

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

Geez you guys are one state over & cook your own food too?
Making real hard to say No here..

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

Pete,

Even though I ate as much as I did, I think I sweated out more in weight than I consumed. I hopped on the scale at home after the weekend and was 12# lighter than I went up. Water weight? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

I know you guys listen to me and Pete and Rusty and the rest of us harp on and on about Pure Stock and FAST, but as Bruno stated above, once you've experienced just 1 event, you'll be HOOKED, guaranteed! It truly is a car show in motion...

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

Man, sounds like Paul and I missed one hell of a cookout. What can you do, the boys wanted to go swimming instead.....

I am sooo looking forward to Stanton.

Hey now, you left out the part about me using a $2,000.00 8:1 junkyard backup engine. Enjoy it while it lasts Rusty. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

Just wait until Rusty gets his new axle .......... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

I hear Rusty has a real heck of a delivery man for that rear axle. SMALL world, huh......

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

Seems to be a fad these days. Delivering rear ends, trannies, etc. for others. Rusty brought my Monte Carlo posi to Martin, I'm delivering a Chev 12 bolt to Norwalk and picking up my Chev 12 bolt from Brian in Erie, Pa......... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Also delivering 3 200R4 trans to Norwalk for a friend in Florida...He can't make it, so one of his friends is going to take them down to him.......??????

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

Oh yeah, it's a fad alright. I'm also picking up a GTX hood or something for the Big Squeeze, and I still have to keep enough space open for my blue challenger on the return pass also.

Re: Martin Michigan FAST/ Pure Stock
 

It is that we trust you better than the Fed Ex or UPS driver. And you don't charge those unbelievable crating fees! What has the world come too? It used to be that the mailman and the UPS driver were the 2 most trusted people that we knew outside of the family! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

That's no doubt in lieu of his bonus for the sterling driving at Martin in your car? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif
