I`ll see what I can do There is another well sorted out small block nova on spray but he rarely looses and unless it`s motor on motor it won`t be much of a race. The reason for the original race is because again it`s got tire,cage,big motor etc. BUT, untested and that`s my reason for taking that race in the first place. As stated, it`s a no loose deal for me PLUS I get to eat a good bbq and drink some cold `s. Hey Al, you reading this?

Street Race that car. The small block Nova from the other night is untested on pump gas. Make him drive it and make sure there's no unit.

No problem..........we line em up at bakersfield, un tested off the trailer since it`s built to be a " 8.90 index" car. Gimme a break and tell em to put up or shut up. How many years since the motor was done? Like 5 or 6 years, and now it`s just gettin ready for little ol me. I must be popular as all of the gm [Email]s@#t[/Email] heads are gunnin for me.......bring it!!!!!!!!




yeah no kidding... h ow long do we have to wait? I mean this post is waht 4-5 weeks old. If somebody lays out a challenge it should be settled THAT weekend. Get it DONE. Ok so here it's an 8.90 car so what run it uncert, he shouldn't need to run the full 1/4 if it' so crazy fast....
Makes me think of pass time when these dudes rool up in these big tire big inch Chevys claiming 700hp w/o the bottle and run a 10. Pretty soon Thumper'ss going to have to look on Moparts for a challenge

Your in Cali so your safe, had a Nova show up at our track this weekend, never saw it before, went 5.60's through the mufflers, made a few passes and left, I thought of you when I saw it, thought maybe he was from down state and came up for some hush,hush testing.


You'll have plenty of time to sleep when your dead, let's go

I`m pulling the lifters today since it`s so damn hot and will have it back together hopefully over the weekend then finish playing w/the wideband. When it cools I`ll head to the 1/8th mi track then wait for the nova boys and get busy.

Good luck. The outcome will be based on how much experience they have in building and setting up the car. Gremlins are your best friend! Go get em!

careful there Popeye, with all the problems you found in the top end, it might be time to look at some bearings too before you get too carried away and become the victim instead of a slayer.
