I`ve got a race next month w/a big tire/motor nova..... - 06/20/10 03:06 PM

Some buddy`s of mine have been putting their nova together for several years now and called me out last nite at a car show. I told em we could go handle it right now on one of the many desert roads but they wanted no part of it so we`re meeting at Fontana next mo. for some night racing. It`s got a BIG Pettis motor 496+ I think,big tires 32x15.5 guessing by lookin at em and weighs 2700 w/driver. The car has ladder bars but, is untested and I know my car better than anyone so, who`s gonna win............? I`ll take my Dart as that thing hasn`t been around the block or made a single pass and that night may be it`s first runs. Any takers?

You are gunna get your butt whipped.

And, if you don't, then they need to put that Nove in the trailer and never bring it out again...............

It SHOULD be faster, but you never know.

big tires dont mean much. There is a black road runner running 10.18 on a little polyglass.

Thump.. sounds like u got a grudge race on you're hands.As long as they don't get to make any test runs u'll kill em But at 2700lbs-560 cu in.u have a fight on you're hands. Anyway good luck and go get em.

he should win but it could be all show and no go. Plus if he's never run it expect some problems. I'll give you the 1st few runs

That`s what I expect people to say but the bigger man doesn`t always win the fight.......I`ve proved that many times and I plan on kicking his a$$ as I usually do. And I agree, If they win they should, if I win........NOW WHAT. As I`ve stated many times, there are some BIG big blocks around that have yet to beat me and they have to agree to go drive through Fontana for a while then line em up. Do you still think I`ll get whooped? They say it`s streetable......we`ll soon see.

Well if the car runs as fast as all the other GM cars with BIG inch motors you see on PASS TIME ...you should win hands down!.

How much experience does the driver have?????

Let us know the results

Good luck

Is this supposed to be a "street car" ?

And BIG TIRES(if they are OVERkill) ..will actually slow the car down.

OR it may have been to the track several times by then and be ready to fly. Awful nice of you to give them a month to get it sorted out. You need to race now to take advantage of this situation otherwise if they can figure out a halfway decent setup by the time you race you will likely get hosed.

Well if it had my 565" in it, I'd say your goose would be cooked....but not knowing what it is....just get it done

and KEEP THE RACING ON THE TRACK....seems the some chebby guys are pretty smart afterall

A grudge race like this is cool for you either way. If they win, well they should win. If they loose I pitty them. They are in a no win situation. Thumper, prepare for a spanking if that thing runs anywhere close to what it should run.

That`s what I expect people to say but the bigger man doesn`t always win the fight.......That's true Thump..I 've had a grudge race last year against a big cu in Chevy Monte Carlo with a two stage nos setup,i new the guy had deep pocket with no brains he talk his stuff all year long till we line up at the end of the year.Told him to pull one of the system off he refuse,so i install a plate system on mine(never ran spray before)first time on the spray and it was left on a 1.28 60' i was hook And that's only using a 100 shot.It alway amazes me to see a mopar car get pick on by some mega cu car.

First question that pops into my mind is what experience does the driver have? Second is do your buddies have any experience tuning a car? Anybody can stick a big inch motor in a car and go racing but that doesn't mean they will win. Good luck.

I think you have a good chance..It will be a good race anyways, if the guy can tune. If the car is new, untested, my money is on you. It only takes one single problem or adjustment to keep him from making a decent pass.
We know your car is well sorted out, and pretty fast too.
As mentioned before, to assemble a car take it out first time and put up numbers that the car should takes some work, from a knowledgeable person..

funny you post this dominic! I was at a TNT at Beaver springs this past saturday with some friends (my car is in the shop still) and there was a beautiful tubbed out nove with a parachute on it! my buddies mustang went a 10.7x and that nova went a 12.26... man was that thing a dog! (on that day at least) it could have been a new combo or whatever not really sure but dont count yourself out at all

just have some pics or video!

Next time you see the car look at the angle of the
ladder bars, if they are pointed up I give it to you...
as he will most likely po-go off the line.. but you
better be on your game ... hopefully he put all his
money in the motor and not the chassis as in good shocks
and the set up .... good luck(as someone said already
you should have said next week)

seen plenty of big inch big tire cars run mid-high tens. Those big tires are worthless unless they are stickies. Those old school M/T's don't hook for squat and they just add weight to the drivetrain. oh and what gear does he have? he'd better have 4.88's w/ those biggies out back
Posted By: Mr.Yuck

Re: I`ve got a race next month w/a big tire/motor nova..... - 06/20/10 05:35 PM

One more thing. get some 110 or better, add some timing and un-cork that exhaust. You'll pick up 3-4 tenths. Good luck.

I doubt they will unload the car for the very first time just to race you.If they are some what smart they will shake it down before your big grudge race.Then on the day of the race they should put one in your lost column for you...

Re: I`ve got a race next month w/a big tire/motor nova..... - 06/20/10 07:09 PM

Ya never know with these things......

A good 560ci engine should start around 850 and go up from there. At 2700#, with a working suspension and enough tire, it could be an 8sec deal.....but who knows..... waaaaaaaaaay too many variables. Alot depends on what kinda clue this cat has.

Maybe do a little recon and see if he shakes it down before your race.

Re: I`ve got a race next month w/a big tire/motor nova..... - 06/20/10 07:14 PM

Even if they get it out a couple of times I REALLY
doubt they will get the chassis right in a couple outings
Hell there are guy that have worked a couple YEARS
at getting the suspension right and still havent got
it yet... and I really doubt that the engine builder
is going to set up the chassis for them(if he knows)

Re: I`ve got a race next month w/a big tire/motor nova. - 06/20/10 07:52 PM

Take it like a true all out Street race. He's got a bigger motor, bigger tire, etc. He may not run the number, but will probably either get hurt, hurt some thing or hurt your wallet if he tries hard enough.
He's got to give some thing up. No heros or egos here, beg till he gives you the comfort zone spot, then run him again for the real coin.
I would have said to get the run off the very next day at a track so that he has no test and tune set time, but what ever its worth, go get 'em with no fear.
Hope he or a friend/s are not spying on this board to see what your blueprint for a race is forming up top be.
You have the smaller cube and old school suspension, so he should give a spot being that it is a featherweight as well.

Again I expect answers like this also but, I don`t care WHO built the motor this thing hasn`t even been around the block and my bad....it`s a 496. The driver is a buddy of mine who`s been in the 9`s and his ass is mine and now the excuses are flying as they typically do.........damn I`m all excited and am getting more of my fuel system plumbed as we speak(type)....any locals wanna come out and wager.....????

Dom, I love grudge racing, & i agree with an earlier post, Its a win/win for you, In all reality, most will exspect the Nove to spank your Mopar, but if it don't, shame on them & you stand proud with a big grin on your face . Good luck, be on your game, DON'T Red light whatever you do, make him red light .

Mr. P Jason knows suspensions, he's the crew chief on 6 second 10.5 car. Dom knows Jason well, but with only 496 ci. it's a toss up

Re: I`ve got a race next month w/a big tire/motor nova..... - 06/21/10 03:31 AM

Well here's the thing Dom..

If Pettis built it, and you say he did.. Then you got to figure that it makes conservatively 750 ponies.
In a 2700# car it could possibly go in the 8's.. Possibly.. Not likely.
However, it more likely makes more than 750hp though. Probably closer to 800hp.

You have been barely in the 9's in much better air that you will be in at Fontucky in the summertime..

I have to say that even running poorly, and if the Nova has a Glide, it should easily run mid 9's..

I would say not to pump your chest out too much.. But it's not a lock that he beats you.

Sorry Dom but your were talking to a person that does not even own the car. I am just a driver so you won't be whupping me you will just be whupping another Chevy. The owner said when the car is ready he will let you know.
P.S. Don't listen to people that don't own cars.

Again, I expect these comments and that`s ok by me. Typical answers and my typical response is this.........come get some cos this ain`t my first rodeo and this car has zero time on it compared to my YEARS of racing and driving and the talkin is done so lets strap up and get it on....that is of course if they actually show up cos they told me their rockers were backed off last night and that was ONE of the reasons why we couldn`t do it last night. Been there done that and I can`t wait for the day we line em up....win or loose, t will be fun.

I have to agree is the race a one and done? If so I will take a tested car, I have seen to many 1st outing oh well it should have run!!! There are too many variables. Now if it's the best out of three well some tuning can make all the diffrence in the world.

Any how I know Dom will give them all they can handle.

Re: I`ve got a race next month w/a big tire/motor nova..... - 06/21/10 02:06 PM

I got paper on THUMPER!!!!! Tried and true car against a car that has NEVER been run??? Dom all the way!!!!

Will this be a true street race or will it be at the track?? If it is a TRUE street race for paper,make him DRIVE his car to the spot,NOT trailer it!!!! Also,have someone video it cuz we ALL want to see it!!!!

There was a GOOD street race here in Ct. saturday night. A BB 70 Chevelle vs a BIG SB on a BIG bottle Chevy S-10. EVERYBODY and I mean EVERYBODY thought the S-10 was gonna WHIP my buddies Chevelle but the tried and true Chevelle won!!! Small money,only $200.00. Next week,their gonna run again for more money, bottle vs MORE bottle!!! Cany wait!!!!

Re: I`ve got a race next month w/a big tire/motor nova..... - 06/21/10 03:13 PM

Thankxx for the responces............This is a box nova and not sure of the year and it`s not a car that Rob`s had his hands on. I know the guy well that owns it, the tuner and the driver and I have people willing to put big bucks(to me) on me winning. Can`t say for sure if we`ll go more than one race and as I understand it they probably won`t drive it through town first........no biggie. I`m finding issues in my fuel system and I`ll be ready no matter what and have no intensions of losing. I`ll post the date and maybe some Moparts boys can come have a victory beer w/me.

I would not be too concerned if their combo has not been proven. No offense, but a lot of Chevy enthusiasts pretty much think anything with a BB Chevy motor is unbeatable, and unfortunately a lot of Moparts members seem to bow to the Bowtie camp. Not really sure why. To another point, it doesn't get much uglier than a shoebox Nova. Let me guess, do these guys have mullet hair cuts? How many Keystones do they put away while talking about how "fast" the Nova is. Full head of teeth? Single or Doublewide. I bet they also watch WWF. Sorry, I just had to say it, got to love those Chevy guys and those stories about how they use to blow the doors off Hemi Cuda's with their 283 Power Pack '55 Chevy's. And how those 396 Chevelles would pull the front wheels 2 feet off the ground when leaving the dealership.

Yeah, all that is nearly as funny as the Mopar guys and their world beaters, with 906 heads and "purple shaft" cams.......... Believe me, one brand or the other does not hold a patent on idiots, or people lost in the past and some of the things seen on this site, should be a testament to that. A "TRUE" car guy has respect for all brands and other "car guys", even though they may like different brands. Blind "brand worship" is very narrow minded.

As far as the impending match race, the untested status of the Nova is really of no concern....if...these guys have their stuff together. Seen many a new car be very successful first time out. All about knowing what you are doing and being prepared.

I hear what you`re saying Monte......I don`t dislike these guys at all, we`ve known each other for years and it`s more about fun than anything else........I just beleive that I can beat this car and they challenged ME not the other way around. No, my dart doesn`t have spray if so, I`d be fast.

I hear what you`re saying Monte......I don`t dislike these guys at all, we`ve known each other for years and it`s more about fun than anything else........I just beleive that I can beat this car and they challenged ME not the other way around. No, my dart doesn`t have spray if so, I`d be fast.




the funny part is their big chevy big tired car challenged you in the first place

its all about horse power and traction. you got to have both.
so the nova has a bigger motor and built by pettis. but how is the rest of the combo, is it 32 tall tires with 3.55 gears in a 10 bolt and stock axles 7/16 rear studs?

Re: I`ve got a race next month w/a big tire/motor nova..... - 06/21/10 07:54 PM

thump, your car is certainly fast enough to give it a try. even if it's an 8 second car (and you can rest assured it will be dialed in by race day), one little hiccup, and you win! i've beaten many cars that are a lot faster than mine, just like you have. your car is fast enough to give them a run, imho. good luck! p.s., make them drive it to the track!

yes, monte is kind of a legend around here. His middle name should be FAST! He just likes "fast" no matter what the brand!

I do know of this chevy guy from work that built a 572 with big duke heads and 10 to 1 compression! Also he did'nt want to tubb the car(68 Camaro), so is trying to hook it on stock suspension! He also spent thousands on EFI and then could'nt tune it. I dont think the car has made it out of the 11s yet...maybe high 10s at best.

I agree with Monte on this one. In my case, I went from barn find (total rust-bucket) to 1st pass on the car and went 9.11 @ 148 at Atco in good air. Made 65 runs since and had a best of 9.18 at 146. Most of those runs at LVD, not as good DA but still car ran fastest on the first day. Ran NSS with NENDRA so was never trying to make all out killers runs.

Street car to street car, make 'em drive to the track and get it off on the first run. No shake downs or nothing. If they want to trailer it, then you have to get a good spot in order to off shoot the fact that you drove to the strip.

Wow you calling a group of fellow Moparts members key board jockeys.
You mister head key board jockey are the one that started this post blowing yourself up about a race challenge from a car that was in a car show and never been to a drag strip. What is sad you are worried about loosing.Asking for advice? Tune that 760 HP car so it actually will run where it should instead of just in the real real high nines.

You obviousy misread what I wrote. I responded to a couple of stupid a$$ quotes towards myself calling those people "keyboard" tough guy haters. HIS motor made the posted hp not mine.

Well said, Monte. And, there are a few Mopar guys on this site who are running Pettis power that will vouch for his stuff. Dom has a good running Dart and I don't mean to take anything from him. However, on paper, he looks to be the underdog in this one. I am looking forward to hearing of the outcome.

Dom, what in the world do you have going on here? Are these guys with the Nova new at cars? They have about 120HP over what you have. That being said, if they're a bunch of squirrels running around with their heads up their azzes, then yes you stand a good chance.....maybe! I get the idea you're holding something back because on paper your gonna get whipped! If it were me who was calling someone out I would do all I could to make sure my junk was working. You can bet these guys are too

These guys MAY know a bit about cars but have no clue about suspensions or tuning.........hell, the owner and tuner are scared to even drive the thing. It`s a garage built suspension w/a good motor..........big deal and STILL not impressed. As far as having 120 hp over me, do you know how many 8-second cars I`ve beaten? Rickster, it`s supposed to be next month and the funny thing is the mouth behind all of this came by today and invited me to go over to his place and hang out...........somethings up. Maybe they need me to check it over to make sure it`s ready.

These guys MAY know a bit about cars but have no clue about suspensions or tuning.........hell, the owner and tuner are scared to even drive the thing. It`s a garage built suspension w/a good motor..........big deal and STILL not impressed. As far as having 120 hp over me, do you know how many 8-second cars I`ve beaten? Rickster, it`s supposed to be next month and the funny thing is the mouth behind all of this came by today and invited me to go over to his place and hang out...........somethings up. Maybe they need me to check it over to make sure it`s ready.




Or maybe there just a bunch of gear heads and like you enough to invite you to hangout....imagine that

i have a friend that bought a 66 falcon 6 years ago in the fall. it had a 460 in it and was running 8 teens in the 1/8th. this was a 5500 dollar car 2800 pound ladder bar car 10.5 inch tire. the motor kicked a rod out of the block in his shop before he ever got a chance to race it. the fastest car he had driven to this point was a 14 flat mustang. over the winter he ordered up a glide and an adapter plate, and converter from coan. had our machinest biuld him a solid lifter cam 501 with ootb rpm heads, victor intake and demon carb. he did alot of clean up work on the car, rewired it and bolted everything together. the very first pass in the car it went 9.77 on motor. he had next to no experiance with drag racing let alone a car that fast. he eventually got it to run 9 teens with a roller cam, head work, alcohol and a toilet. he is a very detail minded guy that doesnt like to cut corners so im sure that helps. i guess my point is experiance isnt near as important as it once was. getting a car to run right is just a phone call away now days.


on the other side of the coin i knew a guy that EVERY time i seen him at the track his cars first pass was its fastest, and then he could always managed to make the car at least a second slower by the end of the day.

what every happens good luck. and have fun

So here`s the deal...........they`re painting the car on the 4th of July, gettin new slicks and it should happen at the end of the month. They also said after they whoop me if there`s any other Mopars that want their a$$ kicked to "line em up". Should be VERY interesting and they guaranteed me they would be completely ready and running DEEP in the 9`s.

They will not street race which I understand and they will be on new 32x15.5 slicks w/exhaust so time will tell and as far as nos, beleive me I thaught about it but that`s not my thing......YET! Since they have the bad boy Pettis motor,are 450 lbs. lighter and on big tires I`m asking for at LEAST the move and when I say move I mean I leave when we are both staged. Seems fair enuff to me.....

This is a all motor deal as the owner wants an 8-sec pass in his car and who knows if it`s capable of that or not. I will trailer my car down since they are on a trailer and stuff happens but I would be MORE than willing to drive to the track and back if they would. But it ain`t happening......oh well, should still be fun....

Hey, these be some brother street racers from l.a. and "hell yes" I`ll take the jump.............I`m always the idiot who goes for their deal and since they weigh in at 2700lbs wet w/760+ hp and 32" tires, what`s wrong w/a slight starting line edge.

Say what you will but it will happen if they are ready not me.....I`m always ready and as far as the move, it was more less a joke since the driver(if it`s Al) left on the first amber last time we raced although I still hosed em.

Hopefully in sept. as he`s having the car re-wired,gettin new tires and is gonna get some shake down runs. I saw him thur. and his story keeps changing as far as our race and who`s driving. Mind you this is a "race car" and he has no intentions of driving it on the street now cos in his words; "it`s WAY to much for the street". I`ll have my wide-band installed and my lifters rebuilt next week and will be ready.

Re: I`ve got a race next month w/a big tire/motor nova..... - 08/14/10 04:54 PM

It`s tempting but I`m going to run him motor to motor cos I have little faith in those that are helping him tune and prep the car. If he beats me well then he should, if I beat him well, the beers will be flowing and I`ll never let them live it down.......can`t wait win or lose. Here`s why I`m not worried...........thu. nite at Irwindale a long awaited $80,000 el-camino was gonna come out and lay down some "easy" mid 5`s well, after a mean sounding burn out he went 6.40........I`m NOT worried.

So they want to race you with their car, but they are rebuilding the whole car just to beat you?? I wish them luck on that, NOT REALLY, but they're gonna need it anyway. There are alot of mean cars with doh-heads setting them up all wrong. My low budget 451 with .510 lift comp hydraulic cam can easily take care of a couple guys around here that I have no business beating with their big dollar 451 with .620 roller and ported RPM heads, TTI headers, blah blah, and a 454 68 Camaro with a 1071 blower and 32x15's under it. Even if those guys have 150 more hosepowr than you Dom, I have more faith in brains and common sense.

Thankxx Quick.... I`m not worried and if that car runs 8`s I`ll give you my dart. Tell Joe to hurry up cos I`m not the most patient guy and I am gonna be hungry after sawing his azz off......or yours.

I guess you guys really don't get it. The car was not built to race Dom it was built so an old man could live a dream. Its a real shame this has gone this far. But Whatever!
PS I am only a hired driver with no stake in this that owns a small block Dart thats slow.

This old man's dream is to watch a car he paid for get driven down the track by someone else?

Al, don`t take this too seriously........I`m having fun and whatever the outcome so be it. Joe`s a good guy and he can`t take the g`s slammin him in the seat so Al gets to be the driver. Joe told me he wants to shake it down at Bakersfield so I guess that`s where we`ll line em up.............

For some reason...(maybe because of that "joke" cobbeled up one in that youtube vid)I thought it was a later Nova. I like those 66-67 Novas. It should be a good race.

No worries Dom. Just didn't want Joe to get slammed for not driving his car.

I was called out but it was by Joes friend "Darkness"not joe and was told we would race but that was after some shake down runs(understandable)w/either Al driving or Joes wife. As the days and weeks go by, the excitement dwindles.............we`ll see.

Well, it looks like he'll have plenty of time! If he banks a Ben right now he should have enough interest built up by then to have the full $2500.00.

Re: I`ve got a race next month w/a big tire/motor nova. - 08/23/10 12:50 AM

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?

Matter of fact my slow azz car has been to 2 1/8th mile shoot outs and I am in points at mt track. Getting alittle upty are'nt you? I would drive a chevy.I drive a Ford every day. What are you trying to say? I find when people get bent out of shape over comments most of the time there is truth somewhere in those comments. Hey what happen to in your words I will run anyone no matter if I win or loose? Alittle spray scares you?

No biggie...........it`s just sad that we`re here on a mopar site and guys gotta put down each other instead of support the cause. Again, ben a fighter my whole life and his useless comments have kept me in the garage gettin my heap ready and tonight I`ll be hittin the drums w/him in mind. I just wish he was closer so we could look each other in the eyes instead of typing this s@#t! THAT pisses me off more than the whimpy/lowly comments..........

Sorry man I call it as it is. Really don't care if you own a mopar or a honda.Two months of lip action in my book is BS.That holds true to the chevy guy. Slegewhatever if I called your car a show poodle must be you earned the title. You guys are makeing like your the street race gods and you will race anyone. Like I said I am just calling you out on things you have wrote. To be a street racer you better get thicker skin.I pushed just a couple of your buttons and made you cry.

For the record: Don't shoot the Driver. I am only the Driver who is relaying information for these fine Chevy Folks.
They do not want a Dodge Dart they are Chevy folks.
They want to race for $2500.00 as they have stated in the pass.

I've been lurking on this thread since it started. How does it go from the Nova guy wanting to race, then having to rebuild his car to do so and when it comes down to it suddenly he wants a $2500 bet on it? Get your head out of your azz and back up your mouth with the car instead of talking sh%^. We race all the time around here for bragging rights not for money. This thread is like a soap opera. C'mon Nova boy, get in your own car drive it and race.

I hope all went well, no matter who won if they did run.

Street racing is so risky anymore, I cant get away from it. And cali seems to be one of the hardest on them.

If they ran on the street, id have to say thumper had the upper hand, if the Nova is all that I cant see it hooking well and if they did run id bet whoever hooked the best won

Officers were able to detain the slower vehicle; a Dodge Dart and it's sole occupant, one Domonic Misale of Victorville.

Hey guys, all`s well here and I have a small hangover but I`m NOT in jail and it didn`t happen(imagine that). No biggie, I think I`ll let this one go and it`s nothing personal and as I understand it, his wife will divorce him if he takes it out on the street. Let me say this; Joe the owner is a great guy,Al is the driver and this has gotten out of hand so let`s bury it and move on.........We`ll meet at the track when they`re ready.

Hey Dom......Did ANYONE from their camp show up???

Re: I`ve got a race next month w/a big tire/motor nova..... - 09/13/10 12:21 AM

Al showed up but again, he "all about the ride" so he could care less about what label`s on it.

WE all watched this post for a long time. They both have well built drag car's for the purpose of drag racing....the answer is very simple. Race !!!!! Just get to the track and race. Win or loose ,it's the best thing to do for all the people on here....

Heck no...his wife will divorce him if he takes it out on the street.

Thats the most pathetic excuse, im sorry, id told her to start packin,yes I would.

Its funny to really see who wears the pants in a relationship......sad sad sad. And an easy out at that for the nova.

So there is a superfast nova around that can only run on wife approved tracks

A few days ago he's wanting to bet $2,500 but now he don't have enough balls to tell his wife to shut up and mind her on business....... Give me a break....

That's why God created Punk Out money...... to get rid of all the blow hards........

That wasn`t addressed to you Phil it was for my good buddy Slippery440. Sorry guys, I guess this is a lose-lose situation for me and Joe. He wants the track and I`m good w/whatever he is cos it`s his car. Those weren`t his words about the divorce it`s what was overheard............time to go........there`s a t&t this sun at fontana and I`m gonna ask Al to see if they can make it if not, I`m over it.

Thats why when I race for $$$, it usually $500. For 2000.00 or better. this way who ever is no show for whatever reason, theres 500. for wasted time, exc

Re: I`ve got a race next month w/a big tire/motor nova..... - 09/13/10 12:50 PM

In my book, "Scared money don't win"
Friendly fire or not, if a challenger brings up money to a pot, then pluck down punk out money or as they say in professional terms, a kill fee.

They are stringing you for a mind $*ck so that when it comes down to some sought of race, you are so pent up and vexed that your concentration is off on some soap opera mode. Classic tactics.

Divorce! Pleeeeasse.

Around these parts it's put up or shut up. Talk a mean walk only when your car is ready to run all the way to the Amen corner.
A gun slinger would never call some one out till there piece is in the holster and loaded.

I've been watching this thread from the beginning. I have to say I knew the outcome to this long before it happened. No disrespect to you Dom, but you got punked. I wouldn't let this die and let them get off that easy.

Don't sweat it Dom....Thats what 95% of street racing is about. A lot of smack talk...and very little usually comes out of it...lol.

Re: I`ve got a race next month w/a big tire/motor nova..... - 09/13/10 06:56 PM

No one got punked here in my opinion just typical of how things get out of hand sometimes. When you`re dealing w/3rd party people things get changed around and twisted up a bit. 1st, Al`s not the trouble maker here just the driver passing info that got twisted. 2nd, Joes not whipped and someone made that statement and I should of never posted it.....my bad. Now I`ve got people pissed of at me on my end and a few on here so let`s move on. I WILL be at a track real soon and hopefully they can make it ready to roll and we can have a cold beer and BBQ as origionally planned. Sorry for waisting your time and this space.

I think we should just forget the nova guy < way too much drama> But..... We have too bad ass street darts lurking on this form they just live on opposite sides of the country, So... how about a friendly competition... Thump vs Sledgie... based on ET from their local tracks, It would be much better reading and the 2 cars are some what even with Sledgie having the upper hand but thumps got the experience.... Seems the ETs are kinda close at this point in time We all share the same form so changes in set up and tune could be shared as well as questions and advice... This seems to me to be a lot more fun than this post has been from the start... The winner for best ET gets a case of beer shipped UPS ground and braggin rights til next spring ....

Re: I`ve got a race next month w/a big tire/motor nova..... - 09/13/10 11:36 PM

I`ve got no problem w/that except for the fact that I don`t have a truck and trailer. If Sledgie wants to come to Cali I can put him up for a couple of days till he recoups from his whoopin and hangover.

What makes you think I`ve never beaten novas before. NEW improvements.....new return fuel system, fresh top end,re-built roller lifters and an LC-1 on board for fine tuning. I wish you were closer cos it would be a good race. Keven(money man)tells me the boys are a bit heated and got some new skins so maybe just maybe this forum got their attention enuff to run me.
