Why race your supercar

but by the same token you racing guys can clean em up and bring them to Vette Fest this fall and I will line up with you in front of a judge

Even though I gave up chasing trophys years ago, Super Chevy took care of that, I will make you a deal. You make a pass or two at SCR6 and I display a car(s) at Vettefest. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

I never had any trouble winning 1st place trophys at "Super Chevy". I also won a lot of 1st place trophys at the drag strip. But as I stated, let the young kids race there new cars now and retire the old ones. My son has a 01 Camaro that is in stock trim that turns 12.2s at 117 mph. He tunes it with a computor! How do you compete with that! I would venture to say he would clean the clocks of most of the old muscle cars. You can still come to Vette Fest, you don't have to compete with any other car, just yourself. Its all in the detail! See if you qualify for a Gold Spinner! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]

Tom, I did NOT ask for the race BUT the guy was edging me on in front of Phil and Jeff so I had to race. I was Nervous but confident in the car, I knew I couldn't sit there and spin my tires so I took off easy (too easy) as the car bogged, then I punched it and power shifted (no tach and 4:88 gears). When I put it in 4th I looked in my mirror and the clone was so far back that I let up. I guess Life is Too Short so we should Enjoy our cars. I guess I will make a Fool out of myself and race the MOTION at the Reunion. With me doing the driving I Wonder if Joel will buy it back if it doesn't run in the 11's. Drivers Wanted!!

Me either, got a jacket to prove it, but got tired of playing the games. And, no offense to VF, but a Gold Spinner does not interest me. Cause now the only detailing I enjoy doing is changing jets, adjusting valves and checking the timing, air pressure, etc. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

As per competing with the young kids, that is the whole point. To show them what these cars were/are all about. I am not afraid, or ashamed to run one of these young guns. Yes, they may out run me, but it is amazing the respect you gain by just showing up and trying. More times then not they come away with a whole new perpective of our cars. I for one am not ready to retire, me or my car(s). [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]

I never had to play any games? Why don't you bring your car to Indy, you don't have to get judged (no games). You get to see and talk to tons of spectators, get to see all the drag racing you want and you get a 1st place jacket and the best part it is free!

You've got a win-win situation , if you don't run 11's Joel will buy your car back[ hopefully at ebay prices] and if you do run 11's you get to keep the car.!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Matter of fact R. Gustin has invited me to do just that, more then once. And, he wanted me to bring along some friends (move the SCR). But, for reasons posted elsewhere, I/we choose to pass. Instead, my plans include taking my fuuny car to the Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green in a couple of weeks, a couple of cars to the York and Gibb shows, and of course, 2-3 cars to SCR6. In between I am sure Rob will not let the Camaro set idle. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Out of curiosity, how many people actually drag race their car at the reunion? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
