Wink Street Car Match Race

Is there anybody that wants to match race me at Zeeks Pontiacs in the Park race? There are a bunch of loud mouths on this site with power adder street cars. I would be glad to show you my tail light. Remember, I am just a little cubic inch N/A car weighing 3200lbs. Not some great Pontiac engine builder.

Hmmmmmm, in the immortal words of Yosemite Sam...."Dems fightin' words, varmint!".

Can Ray Cox keep his heap together for more than one spurt down the 1320 without faltering?

Can Ken Keefer ever make up his mind about what kind of race car he wants to race? And when? And with what power adder?

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?

The world may never know the answers to these mind boggling questions.

I saw John and "The King" run at VMI this year and it was a great show.

Might have to make the trip again next year if Kenny and John go at it.

LOL!

Question

"Street car?"

John:

Since you're in Philthydelphia, your "street car" is street driven, I'll assume.

That means:

1. That it passes a Pennsylvania safety inspection. At Sears Auto. Not at your buddy's, who owns a garage and who'll put a sticker on anything for a beer. Current PA inspection sticker, put on by a SEARS AUTO mechanic, or the like.

Must include:

Full exhaust; legal sound output. no 2 chamber Blowmasters.
DOT tires w/legal tread depth
legal rotor and pad thickness.
steel bumpers, front and rear
Real safety glass in the front, back and sides.
Defroster. If the car was manufactured with a heater, the defroster is required.
Functioning wipers
Functioning turn signals
Functioning horn
Functioning brake and running lights
Functioning backup lights
Functioning emergency brake
All factory-installed impact bars remain.
Line locs are illegal on street-driven cars in PA
So are locked rears. Spools are a no-no.

Or, just have the car registered in Brooksville, Florida.

That way, you could run:

plastic doors. David's doors.
plastic side glass
shaved DOT tires
open exhaust
power steering box without a ps pump
gutted front and rear bumpers
No heater or defroster system
spool
illegal height hood scoop

And still be able to look somebody in the eye, and with a staight face, say "it's a street legal car."

Just like some old guy in Florida does....

Not claiming to be an "expert" on Pennsiltucky Vehicle Code laws but I have to agree with Scott that to have a legit street driven car there would be interesting. I went to school with a guy from Pittsburg and saw the stuff he had to do to get his beaters to pass the law so he could drive then. The body work deal was interesting too.

I have a current PA inspection license. I'd be happy to clarify or even post specifics on certain areas of question...if needed.

Pennsiltucky, huh? Can't say that I've heard that one.

John is sounding pretty confident there. And the underdog non pro engine builder?

My $20.00 is on John. Show me the money!
