Default Good day at XRP , TMCCC Pro Muscle winner in the Cat

Hadn't posted in a while. Having fun in the 63 Cat at the local Texas Muscle Car Club Challenge bracket series thats been on going nearly 30 years. Had the hood off for weight reduction simulation and funny enough ended up being over a tenth quicker in the 1/8 but not in the 60 foot but quicker in the 330 foot (added collector extensions also recently) loosing about 80+# off the nose with hood off. Hope to get a VFN hood but dang if the prices didn't nearly go up $125 more this year. I went 5 rounds and won my class and ran my first 7.4's all day long. Old Quadrajet , iron intake cast rod motor humming along getting it done. Went a 7.44 in time trials , then 5 rounds went 7.45 7.48 7.45 7.43 7.42 also took out fellow Pontiacker Tom Cheatwood in his red 62 Tempest 7.0 car. Next race in 4 weeks at the TX Motorplex in my town of Ennis also going try the Torker II for that , been swapping between the ported iron and the Warrior so T2 is next ..

Congrats!

Sounds like some great times.
Didn't know they made a FG hood for the Cat.
Special made?

Thanks and they make a ton of stuff. Its just getting too pricey. They make fenders, hoods, bumpers, deck lid and doors..... this old rough rat rod style budget car may just stay focused on Mo Powuh instead.

So when is the next one? I've been thinking about those events. I could have driven up! Looks like Gary Parker's old silver '78 TA there.

Yep That is the late Gary Parker's old car , been owned by Thom Reeves for a long time now, that car was a legend street racer back 40 years ago or so too. Its a stout Bird as always 3800 # RW a big 501 Poncho 4.21x4.5 production block , Butler Eddies , Stroker parts and Butler dyno test custom cam. He runs 6.5's all motor. He has ran it out 1/4 before and was 10.3@136

Next race is May 26 TX Motorplex Ennis , put a B code on your car and give points to DAPA club !

Thanks! Might see if I can make the May 26 date. So since the Camaro is Pontiac powered count for DAPA? Except looks liek only 1/4 for 12.00s and slower? All faster classes are 1/8?

Gary was a legend street racing that one. Had different motors in it. The SD 455 that then went into his dad Aubrey's 64 GTO with a switch pitch TH400. Ran 10 bolts til they broke then got another one from the wrecking yard. Aubrey could tell you what BOP parts were in what wrecking yard most of the time! His uncle told me Gary committed suicide, tragic.

Yep , the faster classes only do 1/8th at Ennis now for the TMCCC. Gary's Uncle Marty Parker has the red 67 GTO I showed. He is the original owner. He uses a mechanical throttle limiter to slow car down and run 12.0/7.6 brackets . He said his best all out 1/8 is 7.28. Its 3830 # RW and has some Kaufman D ports , RPM , Holley up top. Aubrey pasted away a few years ago too. Sometimes we get to see his 64 brought back out though.

Aubrey was always a great guy to talk to . Knowledgeable and soft spoken and glad t help any time. He was getting up there though-heck I've know them for probably 20+ years and I'm getting up there now too!

So can you run out the 1/4 even if the class winner is at the 1/8?

You can run 1/4 all out on your time trials (2) before eliminations. If your gonna bracket in King Muscle its 12.0-12.99 if your faster 7.0-7.64 or so then its 1/8 for Pro Muscle , 6.99 quicker is Super Pro

Yeah I turned 50 last week and my race car is older than me ! LOL
