Gotta love those street cars with open headers, slicks and 4.56 gears, that arrive everywhere on a trailer! How long has it been driven on the "street" in that configuration? 4 miles at a cruise or something? C'mon now  At least run it through the exhaust on DOT tires to claim it's a street car. And preferably, it should be driven to and from the track.... Not that it matters all that much, though.....next time we race, all you're gonna see is tailights with pitted potmetal  And you won't even be able to hear me whizz by, 'cause I have an exhaust on my "street car"

Are you sure you wanna go down that road?
You think I'm just gonna do whatever you want, whenever you want?
Any interest in MY terms, or am I just supposed to blindy agree to whatever you want, after you've been working on your car and nobody knows what you did?
C'mon, I wasn't born yesterday.

I think one of these two guys should borrow Eddie Millers purple flamed driving suit...then this thing would start to really get good....be filled with all sorts of drama then... by the way...I can tell you who's gonna win this thing........my " contacts" in Michigan have " seen" something....hmmmm....

Regardless of the outcome at Ubly, here are my terms: Mid-July. In the spirit of Drag Week: Street run from Pontiac to Norwalk. Assume 3 hours one way, plus or minus. Have someone follow you in a support vehicle, if needed for peace of mind. But you have to drive your car all the way to the track. One fuel/food stop at the location of your choice. One hour cooldown. Best 2 out of three, $800 per run. Trailer it back home if needed, for either comfort, breakage, or any reason. Do whatever you want to your car...if you want, you can run open headers the whole time since the engine is so great to listen to But, that being the case, I can also do anything I want to my car. No better time to see what it will run on a 250 shot.

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????

I have to say..I'm a little disapointed in you! 
$800.00 a run..250 shot of nitrous??? 
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 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!
