Get er done

I guess you were at street Outlaws, I was there and asked I guess your son {the driver} about the car and got an un-enthusiastic response. He just said it was a 505/powerglide.

Best of luck

Good luck! Hope no one crashes this time.

Good Luck !

Well I have a chance to be on TV lmao. Spun pretty bad, had ice all over the car from it being so cold. Raced Carp. Them guys are fast.

I was there it was cold ! Was your car the 65 or so Orange Coronet w the 505? I asked the driver about it but got am un enthusiastic response. He said it had a 505/powerglide.....

No I had the Avenger there

Did it air yet? Let us know when you get your 10 seconds of fame

How many Mopar's were there?

We went to JJ’s race in Miss this weekend. What a blast it was. We were only there on Friday. I haven’t seen a video yet, but Carp crashed and rolled bad on Sat. He’s ok from what I read.

Dennis

Sucks Carp crashed, I really like his car and at least from the show he seems like a good dude.

that bites about carp,there coming to st.louis to film in april,the there coming back here in September to bonne terre drag strip for jjs arm drop which I will run in for fun only

FastMop...sucks you spun and lost, but at least you got out there and ran them! Good friend of mine is going up there to race them at the end of next month...small block nitrous deal supposedly. Any advice? lol

“Any advice? lol‘

Jump, because they most likely will...lol

Dennis

Or just sit...seems like they jump about every time.

Yep, that would be a legit strategy too.

Dennis

I think if I was driving and saw JJ arms, or who ever was starting them, start to move I would make my move
The OKC boys video the starting line and don't like you to do that so EXACT details on what makes a jump would need to be discuss before racing

There is no "jump" by Memphis rules. Chase is a race. If one guy jumps and you chase the race is on. If your oponent jumps and you don't move, then he would loose. Think about it. We all leave .4-.5 before the green light. These guys are leaving before the arm drop for sure. But the have it down to a science. The car isn't moving until the arms drop. But the drivers process has started well before that time.

I have seen on the show where one of the racers did move before his arms went up and the other racer didn't move so that racer won by the other car jumping
When we would race on the streets in SO CA we would, the out of town racers, we would make sure that the starters arms had to be starting down before we could "jump". The starters would point to each car and look for the head nod or thumbs up and once they saw that they would raise their arms above their shoulders and then drop them. If you started to move before the arms where coming down you jumped. I was accuse more than once of jumping but when I explained I saw his arms start down and then hit the throttle instead of waiting for his arms to be pointed straight down before gassing it I usually won the arguments
Some times I would wait until I saw the other car start to move before flooring it when I knew I could beat them badly
That tactic would sometimes allow me to milk that cow twice or more

Test test test. I did. Thought I had a great street tune. It didn't work on there road. The road we were on was no where near the road I tested on or the road I raced them on last time. The new road sux even with rubber on it. Cars that always dead hook blew the tires off.
