Locked & Loaded for Vegas............ - 07/28/11 05:38 AM

For any of you that are planning on going to the PSCA race this weekend, feel free to come by our pit and introduce yourself. We will have food and drinks that we are always willing to share.

I can't wait to see how the changes work out.

See you there!
Chris

Oh, I almost forgot......Al, I am bringing my clubs, but, the race schedule is so screwy, I don't think we will be able to get a round in, but, my clubs will still be thrown in the trailer.

Best of luck out there this weekend Chris. Dont look like we will have the car out there. Have had soem things going on that are frankly just more important than the car. All the parts are here and if time allows we might make it but right now the car is in pieces all over the garage and boxes of new stuff are strewn about. I will come out either way but not sure the car is gonna make it. Besides it is hot and the air is nasty out here. DA has been 5400'+ the last two nights I have checked and my stuff is a long way from the heat of the track. 97 degrees and 28% humidity right now..

Golf hmmm. Maybe that is where I need to turn my energy too. The last couple of years racing has just not been kind.

Re: Locked & Loaded for Vegas............ - 07/28/11 06:32 AM

Thank you. Biggest change is a 7 inch converter from A-1, that is flashing where it needs to be....8200 rpm. Also went from a 5.29 rear gear, to a 5.00 Gear. Was going through the lights at 10,100 rpm with the 5.29, should be in the 9700-9800 range now.

In testing, it was going consistently in the low 1.20 60 foot times, so, that is promising.

Well I will be waiting to see the results for sure. Might be what we both need to see Hopefully you can show that Chevelle some Barracuda bumper. But dont expect to run to quick the air is going to be horrendous, especially for an all motor deal. Heck a killer air day here is a horrible air day at Fontana.

Al, I am not looking forward to the heat, but, I guess all of us will be in the same boat, performance-wise, so, we'll see. I know I sure as heck will not be setting the world on fire, with DA like that. Looking forward to hanging out with everyone though! I will give you a call when we are rolling up to the gates, to let you know where we will be parked in the pits.

Yep, swinging the sticks takes your mind off of all of this car stuff.

Chris, I'd be out there to cheer you on if I wasn't 2000 miles away
I'm finally getting ready to get mine together and on the dyno. You're a great source of motivation for me so go out there and kick some a$$!!

Have fun guys...I'll be back when things cool down. It's too hot for this guy. I'm headed back to Woodburn, Or. for the big$$$ bracket race this weekend. Then I'm off to Boise to really be beat up at the bracketeer. Good luck guys.

Boise sounds like fun. We have a bunch of new stuff in the car and just want to make sure it works.

In Super Pro or Pro I'm thinking of going to the bracket finals again this year,I have not ran at Boise yet so that is a decent excuse to go. Bob Clark said you beat him by .009 at Woodbunr last weekend yes? If so that means you probally run Super Pro with electronics I guess Hopefully I'll see you there

Yes, I'm at Woodburn again this weekend, then leaving the car with a friend at Boise. Yes, I'm S/Pro, T/D, etc. And I had 3 good races. Dick Clark was tough, and I won by .009. look me up if you get to Boise.

Al, I hope to have some pics by next week, which is when the Predator goes on the dyno. I'm hoping to make it to MATS with it. I'll get some numbers out in the next week or two. Get ready for the MATS.

this year...they do not announce the start time on the summer races until about 2 weeks before they are scheduled...the July/August races usually start running cars at 8 pm...

Hope to be back in town for the August 12 race.
