Anyone up for going to Lapeer this Sunday??
Got my new slicks and with the weather cooled off so I'm hoping for another new best! shooting for an 11.6xxx

Also they're have the Old Geezers Nationals that day for anyone 50 & up so I'm in

We have about 6 (maybe more) cars going there on the 22nd. Look for the great white buffalo and stop by assuming the weather holds

Hope it works out for you guys, good luck and be safe. Would love to make it but have too many irons in the fire.

I'm wrapping up the shop build, that's prettty much all I've worked on this season but it has been worth it.

Good luck to all those who come to lapeer this weekend, dont get your hopes up about traction even on a 90 degree day its not good. Sorry to be a Debby Downer but dont anyone gets their hopes up, I raced two weekends ago and the only cars that didnt spin were super low on the horsepower, my car runs 11 flat and I spun through first and second gear like a top fuel car.........just saying........I live 5 miles away and wont race there again and I am not even close to the only one that feels that way......my vote is for Ubly Dragway an hour North

LOL, we don't go to LaPeer with our high powered race cars, we go there with our 12 second and slower street cars. It's a place we can make 20 passes if we want and then eat lunch and get ready for the afternoon racing We go there to have FUN, be with good friends we haven't seen in a while and make a ton of passes without waiting around.

This is a special gathering as we're remembering a dear friend who tragically died of a sudden heart attack at age 46. He was a great father, a Mopar lover, owned dozens of Mopar muscle cars and was a good guy who died way too early. So we will go to LaPeer, remember the good times and burn some rubber in his memory.

I usually get a new best but never run consistant @ Lapeer.
It's all about fun there, no serious racing.

I was going out to Ubly on Saturday...if the weather forecast is correct! T&T DAY...so should be able to get quite a few runs in. I believe it's also their last of the season. Lapeer is only a 35-40 min. drive from my house...but Ubly is a better track. This will only be my 2nd time out this season..looking for some 11-teens..11.20's,before the 440 comes out for paint..and a little "head messaging" by MCH! Gary...Marc,hope you guys have fun..run good times,and BE SAFE! Randy B.

Mike, I'm switching from Drag Radials to Bias Slicks so I hoping that to make the car a bit more forgiving of the conditions.


Steff... I was waiting for someone to come up with that

Randy.. weather looks good for Saturday , shoot for an 11.0x, love that pic of the car

Well had a good time Sunday . weather was great, no 11 sec. passes but the car was pretty consistant. First run off the trailer 12.05 @ 111.44, best of the day.
Next a 12.17 @ 110.17 with two 12.11s and two 12.14s with a best mph of 112.7 The rest of the day was 1/8 mile racing.


Randy how'd you do Saturday??

Even if the track is a little sketchy I'm sure it was fun... I would have loved to get the new racecar out there for a few laps.. Next year maybe.
