Lapeer may be a retro 60s ish kinda strip but the machines that race there are anything but retro...they are cool! I remember a slammed tube chassis 72 Charger that was bad azz. I pitted next to a saweet red 64 Savoy w/500 inch Indy power that ran 10 ohs! I saw an awesome 69 Camaro almost roll from a HUGE wheelstand!

Just didnt wanna leave the wrong impression of Lapeer, the racers and cars are top notch.

I do alot of testing there... have for years... I dont
mind the track surface, I almost always hook good
but if I run 9.0 I have some what a hard time stopping...
the pits....... well thats another story... they are
the pits and the johns... well, glad I'm a guy
but you've been there so you know

Ahh Yesss...the outhouses!...make sure you do your daily constitutional before leaving home!!!

Randy... did you get the car back... did you rob the
bank

Mike,headin' out in about 45 min.! The only bank I robbed was MINE! Thank God for my wife's bank account!

I'm all ready

See ya' around 11:30 or so!

I'm out....will be making a run to Clio and Birch Run with my Dad. Have fun and try to stay cool.

No sense in taking the GTX as I haven't touched it, it'd probably do exactly what it did before....and if the Challenger shows up I won't be with it, but maybe Brian will bring it by himself. Don't know, haven't heard a peep out of anybody lately.

I do however expect a detailed report of exactly what happened, hour on the hour, with fully captioned pictures and multiple professional quality videos

I'll be taking some "UNPROFESSIONAL" pics and vids as well! Maybe Zippy can post them for us,like he did last time we were out!??!!! Mike,I will be bringing the Dommy as well! If you need ANYTHING,please let me know! I'll be leaving the house around 10:45-11:00. See you guys out there! Best of Luck to Doug on his "Maiden Voyage"! I'm sure He'll do well!

I'll post 'em, n/p, no worries.

Menard's and Outlet Stores, here I come

Hey Zippy that resturant in front of Walmarts is really good.

We'll be eatin', no doubt about it

Update, the Challenger is supposed to be showing up around 12 to 3. It's going to be it's maiden voyage with the new motor, trans, axle, turbo, etc

I might have showed up at the track but didn't hear how things were going, so I waited until 11 last night, still no news, and then made other plans.

Zipmeister,leavin' in about 10 min.! If they run before 2-2:30 I'll have some pics and a video to share! Have fun SHOPPING!!!

Zippy... see the company ride out there but didnt get
a chance to go look at it or talk to the guys...
someone told me that had major smoke coming out of
it on the last pass... I dont know I didnt see it

Doug was at the wheel today and made 4 passes... I
had my mech throttle stop on it set at 1/3 carb opening
and the car was trying to hop... not enough torque
to plant the tires good... I tried a couple of things
to see if that would help but it didnt... tried to
up the launch rpm from 3800 to 4600 but no help I
also tried more tire pressure but no help... I should
have changed the 4-link IC but I didnt feel like
doing that in the heat... Doug made a few passes
at 10.09 so all in all it was a good day.... good
job Doug

Rich,I apologize! I got busy BSing with the guys that I didn't catch the Challenger on video! However, I did get this snapshot of it! As Mike mentioned...it was blowing out a LOT of smoke! Turbo problem? I didn't get a chance to talk to them either! Hope you had a good day with your father! RandyB

N/P, I heard it had something going on but who knows what, was texted that it seemed like vapor lock but don't quite understand how a fuel injected car can have that issue? Unless the psi was way off, then that would explain it.

Too late to ask now, but I'll call for an update tomorrow morning and find out what happened, and will see if it's going to head out again tomorrow or Monday since the track is open both days. Or who knows, there might be some work to do on it first before it can make it out again.

Got some stuff for the house, a few tools I've been wanting and a new exterior door for the garage, spent some time with Mom and Dad so it was a productive day.

You guys picked a nice day to go race, a little warm but not too humid. Next couple are supposed to be nasty weather wise.

well,it was nice to finaly meet you guys,great bunch of guys. i had a good time out there,but only made 5 passes with a 10.78@125 as my best. did'nt get a chance to try runnin without the 4 hole because the 50cc pumps hit the intake carb flange without the spacer,so i'm getting a open spacer and going to ubly sunday. sorry greg, i did'nt get to checkout your charger. who's going to ubly this next sunday?
