and the 210 freeway doesn't back up. I'm heading to Irwindale tonight to race the Demon. It's only an 1/8th mile track, butt, it will give me an idea of the potential of this little buzz bomb.

I'll let you know later what it did.............

NOPE.............

It wasn't a great day at the races.

We got there about 4:45 and went to tech. They wouldn't let us run cause we didn't have mufflers . So, being the gentle souls we are, we took our cars back and loaded them up on the trailers . We thought we would just sit aroud awhile and clean out the ICE CHEST

Well, that didn't sit well either, NO ADULT beverages allowed .

That really put us in a BAD mood . Finally this guy comes buy in a golf cart and ask WTP, (whats the problem ). We explain our situation, NO LET RACE . He explains about how people in the area complain about the noise. STUNNED, all of us look around and say, WHAT FUCKING PEOPLE ? Nothing around the place except TWO freeways ( real quite) a cement plant and vacant land. He pointed up to the hills to the north and said them BOYS up there. SHIT, they had to be 4 to 5 miles away.

Anyway, he finally relented and let us tech in. Now it's about 7:00 P.M. . We drive over to tech, do that and head over to the staging lanes. SHIT, about 300 cars in line . We wait and wait. They had a total of THREE FUCKING OIL DOWNS, couldn't believe it . You have to realize it was about 100 degrees that day and it was fucking HOT on the asphalt parking lot. Finally, its our turn. I make the right turn down the strip into the water box............ NO WATER...... WTF......... so I just drive on up to the lights cold tires and all. It's about 8:55 PM by now. I'm racing my buddy in his '39 Willys gasser . I leave on the third amber, blow the tires off, butt, the car goes STRAIGHT as an arrow ( my first time in this car and didn't know what to expect). I don't have anyway to scan the time slip butt, here is what it said,


R/T .555
60' 1.668
330' 4.715
1/8th 7.199
MPH 96.67

I don't know what that equates to in the 1/4 butt, it can't be all that good with a SHITTY 60' time like that.

That was my ONLY pass of the day

DAYUM!!!

On cold tires!!! That thing's an animal, OLE MAN!!!

You think a .555 is slow? Must have been a Pro Tree, I guess?

No beer....BULLSHIT.

No beer on a race track? Who ever came up with that rule should be murderd infront of their children.

NOPE, not a Pro tree.......... just a slow OLE MAN guess I'm getting OLD

Cold tires, yeah, lost two tenths on the 60' time. Normally, it runs a 1.41 or so on the 60' time. I didn't use the trans brake, just flashed the converter off an idle .

I have a video, butt, don't know how to upload it on here
