Whos coming to the last one of the year?????
There is a heads up race the weekend after this race at CFR!! Sponsored by a local Fab/parts shop H+W Speedshop, it is somewhat of a invite only race for street cars. No real set of rules, they just kinda look at the cars and make sure its not a glass bodied lexan window 6 second pro-mod, rarely does anyone get turned down.Sucks that this is the same weekend as NMCA.
I think there's a 10.5 car coming up there from St. Louis. Can't miss it. Mustang w/ a gear-driven F3. Still working the bugs out of it, but the car has a ton of potential. He's just looking for seat time right now and can't run NMCA this weekend.
No, I lost 2 engines per season the last 2 years, made it through the 2nd to the last year, then the next season when the 3rd/4th one blew I threw in the towel, planned on stopping for awhile finally, but then Welper dangled the keys to red rum...so I could'nt turn the opportunity down LOL. Gotta love hack assed machine shops phucking ya over..I got lucky and found 2 of them back to back...then the last engine snapped the crank which Callias admitted was a bad batch per serial number, but gave everybody the big middle finger and said tough luck, wanna buy the magnum now? :smt093 I just got real lucky in that when my shit blew up, it took EVERYTHING along with it. I ran Joe and Lynn's Mustang a few times, then that tranny lost a drum, later in the season running Weplers, I cant remember what happened but some freak thing inside the tranny shit the bed too...so maybe when I come back, the black cloud will have blown awaythe car from st.louis is here and a couple from min. i just left the track them boys were putting some good numbers down tomorrow should be a good one and IHI not to start any shit but I can't help but add this you kept talking about 10.5 cars breaking parts tell the truth why you stopped racing (you went through how many motors your last year about 4)
I think you 2 should get a room ,spoon and tell each other how great you use to be!Just my two cents.....:-DI am sure I have devoted as much if not more time in this sport than you, I have drag raced multiple types of vehicals, I have devoted large amounts of money not only in 1 race vehical, but 2 or more at 1 time, I have traveled all over the country racing also, u are no better or wiser then I am Jr. and I say Jr because you make this sound like your the elder here, I am sure your not older than I am, nor wiser at the game, the money you claim you have spent on drag racing I have done X2, oh and my 2 cars are also 100% streetable and are driven almost everyweekend on the streets in the summer months, I am not trying to make myself look any smarter because I do not have to. Like I said you cry about spending time and money on 1 car and the same time and balaceing a family, try 2 cars! Hopefully someday you will get into the racing game again and we can meet up, and we can see just how great you really think U are.
Or there are those to scared to do it and just talk shit.thats why somemany people want a crack at it..
Thanks guys! We all try to help with anything we can, Im just glad you got that car running after that long of a haul!! It sure was a interesting day, sucks about what happened to Joe's car and he did one hell of a job keeping the car mostly off the wall, and then Eric blew the trans.. but Im glad you guys came home with the win after all the work and headaches put into it..I'd like to say thanks to my Son, Pete Llamas and Nick Finnen for performing some real magic since we brought a knife to a gun fight what with all the turbos and prochargers at CFR yesterday. The car has been wired the same way for several years, but thanks to Scotty K and the guy that was with Torrie (sorry, don't remember your name) their suggestion worked. All you guy's that we raced with are a good bunch of guys. The track personnel and track owner came by our trailer after we won the final round and thanked us for coming. We don't get that around here in Chicago. We wanted to stick around and have a few beers with you Scotty, Torrie and the rest of you, but had a 6 hour haul back home. Thanks to all for the blast we had racing. We're going to try to make it to the H&W race next weekend. We're gonna unload the Nova today and get to sharpening that knife some more. We're gonna need it. You guy's have some bad ass cars. I'm posting a link to the final round from a different vantage point than the link that was posted earlier. Thanks again, Big Pete
