Me and pops will be there as usual. I'm disappointed they aren't having the true street class for me to win again this year. Todd...it's April 6th. Stephen...tell your old man to fill up his bottles and find me. As long as he doesn't bring the red car.

You ever get ahold of him the other week? I might have to call steve and see if i can get a true street thing going.
Yep, I talked to him Friday afternoon. I called Frog Jones (the promoter) right after I saw the flier come out and he said Steve didn't want to do the true street race b/c it took too much time, was unorganized, and was a hassle.

well, that sucks, I wanted to try and take down the champ. I'm not bracket racing so I don't know what I will be in
I'm going to try to make it if I can find someone to drag me up there

Ray, I have an extra trailer (open) if you need to borrow one. I thought about running the trophy street class. It's a bracket class, but at least it's 1/4 mile. Maybe Stephen can talk ole Steve into bringing true street back.

I never called again after those first few trys. Pops is bringing the Bee far as I know. He still gotta get it fired up and change the oil I don't think it has been driven since this race last year. LOL. I gotta work on that tube chassis dart you seen here last time you came up here and a couple more so I'll be running all over the place. See everyone there.
One day I will have something cool here.

Anybody know if Lenny is coming? Got the new UCC tweaked Dynamic Converter in, no time to test it though, car is already up on the trailer and pointed toward Rockingham. Chip, you and big Jim wanna pit same place as last year? We ought to try to get a Moparts Wing set up in the pits Maybe we can all write "MOPARTS" on our Pass side windows so it's easier to spot one another....just a thought?

Great seeing everybody! Jim, Chip and the lovely pair of Mrs. Owens....thank y'all SO MUCh for your gracious hospitality....always a great time pitting next to the Owens clan!! Here's a tip......the next time the track announcer says they have a 'Special Treat' coming up, immediately get your time trial run in BEFORE that treat comes out and oils down the track for over an hour !!! Way too much standing around, very slow and poor organization of the time trials with lots of 'ameture night' first time stagers making things even slower. By 1:45 I only got 2 runs in despite being there since the gates opened, got frustrated and headed home before the delayed and delayed again eliminations. My first pass was a typical check out pass for the new heads, trans, converter and gears. Ran an easy 12.45 @ 109.6. Faster than it felt considering I shifted at 5200. Next pass was a quicker 11.446 at 116.6, Should have been an easy 10 (was going 96.09 in the 1/8th) but the tach signal from the MSD quit on me in the water box so I short shifted both gears and went just quick enough to beat a beautiful 69 Cuda fastback with a 416 stroker that ran a very nice 11.90 @ 115. I'd seen that car a couple times at Bristol and knew it to be a high 11car so without a tach I paced him until about the 1/8th and let it eat from high gear. At about 1200' I let out of it because I sensed the motor was pretty lean since I didn't jet up for the new heads yet, got to the pits and I was right just by looking at the tailpipes, beautiful light tan but Too light for the good air. So I played it safe. The new converter flashed much higher than I expected, to the point to where I can't even feel the 1-2 on both passes! I need some more seat time with the new vert and also need to loosen the rear traction bars, Ivhad too much preload (too little gap) trying to soften the hit....or anticipating a more violent launch. All in all it was fun, just wish the event was better sorted for the participants and esprcially the fans who sat patiently for LONG stretches of time. I was saying to Big Jim (Chip's Dad) I think I'd much rather come down and meet them at Darlington on a Test & Tune night to where I could get a lot more runs in and get the car sorted out, I can't stand waiting in the lanes due to poor organization, been to a lot of events where they could handle a lot more cars and cycle them through quicker between laps.

Oh yeah...forgot to mention. On the other side of us I was pitted next to Mile Daurity, that was awesome cause he's wild like Cale Yarborugh and as cool as Steve McQueen! Everybody wants to know about the Airwolfs, on my only near full pass I could tell the motor revved faster and felt 'happier' above 5000....but I could also tell my motor and the Pro-systems 1000hp carb wanted more jet and maybe less timing, but with the lags between rounds I didn't want to bother with trying to dial in and then get bogged down in staging and my temps going 30+ degrees hotter by the time I got to stage for the next pass. It was really frustrating for most of us wanting to get in a bunch of runs on a near perfect spring day...woth a tailwind to boot!! I'll have more to say the next time I get out to Z-Max on a Friday night T & T but all signs point to worth the investment.

Thanks, lol. I did have more fun than expected bracket racing...winning 5 rounds in a row was cool. I was the fastest car in the class (trophy street) so I think some were having a hard time judging the stripe on me. It's a long wait when you've dialed a 9.64 and the other guy dialed a 14.95, lol. This was my first bracket race ever, unless you count 6.0 pro tree index racing. I thought I'd lost the final...I dialed a 9.68, other guy dialed 12.40. He left, then I left, but I was late. I didn't catch him, he got me by about 1/2 a car or so I guess. Hard to tell when I was doing 137 mph and he was only doing 110 or so. I went 9.73 at 137, he went 12.32...he broke out, so I got the win! Naturally, the 4 foot trophy I was supposed to get didn't come in, so Steve's gonna have it shipped to my house. Same thing happened last year when I won the true street shootout. The best part of the day was having Cliff Gromer from Mopar Action magazine do a photo shoot of my car for an upcoming feature in the magazine! I could have gone home right after that and would have been perfectly happy, lol. Thanks Mike and Cliff! The car was running great. Went 9.65 at 140 mph w/ a 1.32 sixty foot when it was cool yesterday morning. It was picking the front end up pretty high, so I was having fun. If it didn't do that, I'd probably stop driving it. It was great to see everyone...Bobby, Sonny Hart, Johnny Pennington, RonP's buddy w/ the silver Duster (can't remember his name), Sheila Bowman, got to meet onefastIndy and Tank Crosswhite who were both very nice fellas, always great to hang out w/ Mike and Stephen Daurity. Got to spend some time w/ my wife, my parents, and my buddy Kenny. So it was a real good day.
