yes, thay were flying in 95 degree air temp and very humid, seeen John Langer run 9.17 in the first, but lost to stanton, Ray Cox never made a full pass on Saturday, tried the nitrous late but had some type of problem, back fired? right as he touched it off, then idled down the track.

He needs to call Ken Keefer for nitrous and/or engine building advice.

We got the longblock in the car and loaded in the trailer Friday night 1:30am. Got in line next morning and waited. We finished putting the engine together with 5 minutes left of qualifing Thanks to Mr. Langer for jumping in. Other things had to be finished. So close, yet so far away. Ray's last carb was distroyed from the nitruos backfire which we now think caused the rod failure discussed in the other topic. We could not fine, barrow, or afford to have his Pro carb fixed. They were there, took one look and said; over $500 to start So he had to use my 1090 Demon. Way so not right for what he is doing. Plus, nothing was correct for nitrous activation. Ray had to gualify NA. We then finished making brackets and adapting for nitrous activation. Thanks to Tyree ? for solving that problem. Everything was ready. Just one small error. The assistant engine biulder/crewman fell asleep before double checking everything. I hadn't sleep't since Thursday 6am. The heat along with not eating right had taken it's toll. The Nitrous never fired Sorry Ray, i know you said it was your fault too, but...Anyway, i'm proud announce Ray was able to drive into the trailer Alot a changes were made. So we have testing to do. See you guys at Cordova. Also thanks to Jamme and Rob, and everyone else who helped. Kickass job guys. If Ray can get help like that on every weekend, he will be a contender.

Don't remember meeting you. Maybe thats when i was asleep at the table in front of the car I think it was a fuel backfire. That carb is set up for a 600ci, 7000rpm NA BBC. Also to much timing backed out for launch IMO. But we will get everything figured out.

And do what, Ray? Run an 11.41? I could do that in first. Or in reverse. Ladder? Somebody see a ladder? All I saw was the bottom rung. |

Me first! me first! Ok, your so good, show us your accomplishments. Or let us know which Pro event you participate in, so we can see for ourselves. People like you give racing a bad rep. If you nothing good to post here, giving good advice or helping other Pontiac people out, go else where to start trouble. We dont need you.

i did come by a couple times, you guys looked pretty busy so i didn't want to bother you. the only thing i got to say to the people that are so critical of what you are doing is where are they at if it is that easy.

I heard one car did not make it to qualifing. One broke trying to. Two broke in the first round. One or both did make it to 2nd round. No one there had the clear advantange. This level, anything can happen. Every race is up for grabs I cant believe the money involved. Not just to go fast at every event, but how some people live better out of thier car trailers then i do at home Dont get me wrong, everyone i've met, with a few exceptions, will go out of thier way to help as long as they are not thrash'n themselves. Even then, they try to help

Oh, contraire, mon frere. But I DID give people advice. And, judging by the 11.41, it appears to be good advice to follow. Look HERE: Blown Nitro Pontiac Senior Member Posted June 24, 2005 05:57 PM Advice #1.: Don't listen to a guy who blows up every motor he's ever built. Advice #2.: Don't listen to a guy who blows up every motor he's ever built AND can't remove his BOP belt drive gear. Advice #3.: Don't listen to a guy who blows up every motor he's ever built AND can't remove his BOP belt drive gear AND refuses to follow the directions that he's been given by numerous people for doing so. Posts: 145 | Registered: June 12, 2005 Two MORE pieces of advice, for those who keep blowing up their stuff and running 11s: Ken Keefer; 352-796-8800 Scott Rex; 215-205-5575 Tony Bischoff; wait a minute. Caveat: If you call Tony, do NOT tell him you were referred by the 11.41 grenadier; he'll hang up on you. And I don't go to "Pro" events because, as Lou Gaccione told me "You're just a hobbyist!" |
