Mater,back then,in order to make a Chevy ‘small’ block run,you had to wind them tight to 8 grand plus! Sometimes you ‘paid’ for it.At Island in ’63’ blew the engine thru the traps (no# 5 piston needed some fresh air).Our class competition said,guess you guys are done for the season? Our answer,’nope’,be back next Sunday.Well,during that week was like a Chinese fire drill,scrounging spare parts,and hustling between our jobs to put together another ‘screamer’ racing engine,we made it! Biggest delay was waiting to get the internal parts back from J&J Balancing in Patterson,N.J.to put the engine back together.Was it a hassle back then…nah,just fun for the challenge! Talk to other ODF’s ‘been there,done that’ I’m sure! 😀 Mater dwell on the future,I’m sure your having as much fun nowadays with your Fairlane as we did back in the day!

Great job, Billy. It was just a matter of time, and the right conditions. Now that you’ve got that first 6, more will follow. Again, Congratulations to you and the team. ………………….Mikey 😮 😯 😆 😆

Great job, Billy. We have been waiting to see that, congratulations.
Just ran my first 6 second pass on Thursday with the 55, 😆 😆 However it was on the 1/8 mile not the 1/4. 🙂
Again good to see your first 6 second pass on the 1/4 mile.

Tom, congrats on your running in the sixes. The Mustang runs sixes too, right?? 😕 Looks like you have some of your problems straightened out. Way to go !! I’m really looking forward to getting together at the track, and some car shows. 😀 I think I found the problem with my not getting full throttle. I adjusted the cable after my wife pushed the throttle down, but never checked it after the adjustment. 🙁 Yesterday, I don’t know why, but I was looking at the pedals, trying to see where I can put a brake-light switch, and I noticed that the throttle pedal was really close to the firewall. 😮 I pulled up on the pedal, and the whole assembly moved. 😯 There is a crack/break in the bracket set-up that holds the pivot assembly for the pedal. 🙄 I now wonder how long I have NOT had full throttle.?.?. 😳 I keep hoping that some day, I’ll get it all fixed. 🙂 But then I won’t have anything to piss me off and keep me busy. Oh, well. 🙄 ……………..Mikey 😆

[babycakesParticipant]

Mikey,it’s all part of the ‘hot-rod’ mind games! At least you feel ‘good’,when you find something ‘bad’,and fix it ‘right’ Be prepared for whip lash when launching your Willys! 😮 😀 Pete.

Hey Guys, Just go back about an hour ago from Maple Grove. WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND ❗
We got to watch Masracing reach their goal ❗ They have been so close, but just couldn’t
get over that barrier. Well, last evening Billy ran a 6.94 @ 191 mph with a 1.01 60 ft. time.
He was hooked ❗ 😆 I saw Billy this morning and offered him and his superb crew chief
and son B.J. my congratulations ❗ Billy told me that he couldn’t stop smiling. It was like
he won a national event. 😆 “So well deserved” ❗ I have some pictures from the event,
but I have to go through them carefully because Dino will break my stones about my camera/
phone pics. 😆 Oh yeah, I talked with Lee Valentine down there and he said that Donnie
Carroll was racing down in Georgia this weekend. So good luck to him ❗ Oh, Masracong
ran a 7.02 @ 189 mph earlier this afternoon. “Not too shabby” ❗ 😆

Frank… 😎
ps. I know that “Speed” is looking down with a big smile and is so proud of his buddy Billy ❗

Hey Pat, We had an awesome time at Maple Grove this weekend. I saw Tom Goldman
there and told him that you said hello. He asked how you were doing and I told him that
you were OK and probably off sky diving, snorkeling, snow skiing in Vail, CO or maybe
shark hunting. Tom just smiled and said COOL ! I’m sure you know that he went to the
semi’s last weekend at the Nationals ? Anyway, it sounds like you’re doing find and now I
have to add glider rides to the list ! LOL Be well my friend !!

Frank…
ps. Tom’s S/Gas Corvette in the lanes at the Grove…….

Some you tube video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NQCJ-g3Sa0&feature=share&list=UL6NQCJ-g3Sa0

Type in Soaring in Saratoga in the search box on you tube for more. A lot of sky as I was trying to keep my breakfast down. 😆
