Can I race the winner

I case anyone didn't already figure it out, this was all a bunch of hooey......I couldn't justify 50 cents per run, much less hundreds!

Randy and I thought the callouts on here had become kinda ridiculous, and we conspired to call each other out on the same day at the same time just for entertainment purposes. Only I got busy, and ended being a few minutes late

Guys on here make it sound like it's no big deal, but it's pretty damn difficult to build a 10 or 11 second street car.

Making our kind of car, on our kind of budget, is fraught with comprimises....

Randy's comprimises are a big gear, "real" slick and open pipes....and yes, a trailer...because it isn't real enjoyable to drive 70mph for hours with 4.56s. It could be done, but what would be the point? Common sense.

My comprimises are less gear, DOT slicks, full exhaust, but slightly more money put into the motor.....but I don't have a trailer yet, so applying another kind of common sense
I tried like heck to build my car not to ever need one!
But things happen. I'm going to get a trailer someday but until then, if anything happens...step 1, call friends who have trailers. If nobody is available, then it's gonna be AAA. I did finally get myself a 3/4 ton truck, so I'm more than halfway there. I really don't mean to give him crap for the trailer and so on, but he knew it was coming and was ready for it

Either approach can work! There is no right or wrong!

In my "challenge" I put the long street drive in there to make a point....I build my car best as I could, to do what I am doing with it...but that's all I will continue being proud of the no trailer aspect of it, right up until I get one...then I'll stop

Randy and I, and our cars, are more similar than different.
We both race to improve our machines, for the good times, and the great people. Unfortunately we're both lucky to get to the track 3 times a year (and that's during a
VERY GOOD year). Randy's health takes up alot of his time....my work and current garage/shop project are very consuming.

Kudos to those who have already been where Randy and I are trying to go (streetable 10s).....and double kudos to those who have helped him and I over the years.

Hope you found this as entertaining as we did.
Thanks for playing

Group hug????

Come on Zippy... I cant drink the beer and watch....
I'm bummin

Rich and Randy...I heard this guy was coming to line em up!!

Still would LOVE to see you guys run,think it would be a GREAT race!!!!!

We did, last year.....

There's video of it too....

Mike,I do have a couple videos of Rich and I....one doing our burn outs...and the other is leaving off the line,after the burn outs. Unfortunately,it's not letting me post either one! Rich's explanation says it all...thank you all for contributing to this thread,and for helping us out through the years,with advice on improving our cars!

I remember you two running.

Mike,thanks for the kind words! Between Dwayne,Ron Wilson,and yourself...I couldn't have gotten better cam advice anywhere! You guys are the BEST!!!

I might regret this.

Rich, I have a trailer you can borrow if you have a tow vehicle, or if you cover the fuel I will bring "the bus" you car will fit, I hope...lol

To the drinkers, if Rich uses the bus we will get you home, maybe even pick you up if you are somewhat on the way to what ever track. that can get figured out.

I want to see this go down.

Agreed, what a nice statement, thank you

I have Randy's vids (including the one where we raced last year) saved in my photobucket acct. Can't get in there at the moment, will try to remember to post a link when I take a break from hangin' insulation tonight.

Good, every one is friends, I feel warm and fuzzy again.

Ryan..glad you feel warm and fuzzy! Right from the start,EVERYONE should have known this was all a BIG HOAX! I would NEVER put down ANYONE'S ride,especially a friend's! Just not my personality! I truly respect ALL you guys for the work you do to make your cars look good..and run as good as they look! No one's car is perfect,even though I can think of a couple that come awful close! It's a great hobby,with a lot of friendly,and helpful people I've gotten to know over the years! I consider myself very lucky to call more than a few as good friends! You guys know who you are...Thanks for all you've done for me over the years! Randy B.

Gotta say, you guys had me! I did think it was a little uncharicteristic of you both when the heavy smack was going on. Can't wait to get a track day with you guys and anyone else that wants to go.

Randy

Seems like we got Tony also

Just having fun
