Nasty Rumor - Probird won again!
 

Congrats Rick, you're deadly! :D

Congrats, Rick!

Nice job Rick, congrats!!

Congrats Rick!!!

With the "spare" engine ?

Congratulations Rick! Pontiac to the Front!

You are a machine rick. Congrats!

Thanks guys! Yes with the spare engine. It's not quite as fast but it's just as consistant. I found a cracked rod cap in my GRP aluminum rods in my good engine when I was assembling it a couple weeks ago. Since I had to buy a new set of rods I figured I better get my act together and win some money to pay for them. I won last week. That paid for half of them. I won again this week so that paid for the other half. I guess I may as well keep it going and go for 3 in a row to pay for gas to get to Norwalk.

Cool!

How's that boring bracket racing?

:D

Does your track have a 'bracket national' type of event now?

Saw you won at CCD awhile ago also.

:)

Thanks John!

That boring bracket racing is good! Lol! It doesn't matter what kind of racing it is as long as you get to make passes down the track. I find it more exciting as a driver because there is more involved driving both ends of the track. It's like a chess game at 100+ mph.

Yea I went down to CCD one weekend and took a little of their money home. :)

Do you mean like NHRA's Indy bracket finals? Yes, being we are now IHRA Div 5 we have a bracket finals in Michigan. It should be a real good time.

How "slow" is the spare engine and is it going to Norwalk?

Congrats! Winin' and makin' money. Cool

congrats Rick

The spare engine still runs pretty good. I was dialed 6.19 to 6.20 yesterday. Unless a miracle happens and my new rods get here sometime this week I'll have to show up with the stock block spare engine to Norwalk, which is fine. It should run right around 9.80.

Well. It sucks to be that slow, NOT.
Ya got a winning combo. What's not to like?
"Run what ya brung".

Good job Ricky Bobby

I second that commotion...:)
Congrats...

Wow, nice job Rick, you are on a tear!! Good Luck at Norwalk!!

Congrats!:cool:

Thanks again guys!

Good that backup motor can fill in and keep you in the money... Good drivin certainly helps... Congrats!

back in the pre IA block and e-head days i knew a guy whos backup 406 shortblock was in his car @85% of two seasons vs a couple 470+ inch shortblocks... sadder part was 406 was only about a tenth slower using cam, gear and convertor better suited to the bigger motors(ported RA4 heads). No one could convince him to just optimize the 406 and focus on racing... his failed big motors hurt his point standings.

Congrats!

great job rick!!!!
