He made a statement that is so true. He said " all this going fast stuff is, is an ego trip"

Bracket racing is one thing. Q16 is another

Jagtec said something about dragsters being boring and emptying the stands. I think dragsters are cool. I just don't like the throttle stop cars or dragsters. Now that's boring.

RED's are boring. FED's (like Paul Spott's car) are fun. Throttle stop racing sucks.

OK -- The gauntlet is down -- I have to repectfully disagree - Throttle stop racing - at least in the short wheel base cars is exciting - wheels up launches - and tight racing on the top end -- Its all those look alike - long pointy things that get the poeple out of the seats and go to the beer garden - For those of you that thing t/stop racing is so boreing -- or easy -- give it a try. All the "other" class's are full of racers that were not competitive in one of the pro tree/super class's, and thought something else would be "easier" -- its a fact. All kidding aside - I think all - (well most) class's have a place at the track - It just piss's me off to have anyone takeing shots at what is some very popular class's -- divided we fall - united we stand. And btw - never did hear an answer to my Port/ cylinder head question????

I am with you on the throttle stop racing. I love S/G, S/R but Michael wants to run T/S. I tell people that say the same things to me about S/G, win a S/G race after 7 or 8 rounds and I will say YOU are a REALLY GOOD driver. Good for you cgeise, thats some tough racing. Are you coming to Norwalk. Thanks Maurice.

Thanks for the support - We Have thought about going out to one of the big Pontiac races out East - but they conflict with some of our Divisional/ points races - and as has been said here - driving a jillion miles at 6 mpg gets to be a little cost ineffective. As far as the racing is concerened we are going to also be running or new top sportsman car very soon - hopefully some testing in the next few weeks and tha divisional at end of month. Its going to be interesting - running two cars -

If it wasn't I'd just stay home and watch it on ESPN. bwahahahahahahaha

But then again I have only a SMALL ego to feed. LOL.

All of you door car cry babies,,,,, wah, wah, wah. Yeah I could go fast to if I were in an 1800lb rail. So you chose a heavy a$$ pig, like my 3,250lbs of GTO.

If Jeff Kauffman and JohnTA can lay a claim to a low number cause they drive rails, more power to them.

Who wants a beer ? raise your hand.

[ponchospidel]

i might be way off beat or late hear,(just skiming throgh the posts), but there is nothing in C. neK's post that relates to horespower to cubic inches in anyway shape or form. is there? maybee he needs some new glasses so he can see what this thread is about. hell maybee if he had different glasses he would have a whole different perspective on the whole rek deal,i doubt it!

That's all fine and good...but you can't lay claim to the most HP when a heavier door car runs 6 MPH faster than you or the fastest customer car with your heads on it. That is what this thread was about, HP...not weight.

Dil, I do not drink but I will raise my hand with you, hopefully at Norwalk. I chose a 2,100lb car. Maurice.

If the price of gas keeps going up, it won't be long before it costs as much to get to Norwalk from the east coast as it did to get there from the west coast a few years ago.

Hey! It's Friday! Screw you guys...I'm going to VMP!

[Skip Fix]

I'm going for the fastest flat tappet hydraulic 455 pump gas TA using a factory Shaker base and a 9" slick, oh and they have to be black and T top too

You are correct about the excuses. Their bragging rights are only on these threads. If some guy would spend 100th of the time on his F***Y car as he did posting he would be racing, with/against John Force!!! PS I think I could round up a gas FUND and pay the difference in the price of the fuel just to see that car race. Lets say 600 miles X .25 = $150.00. Anyone want to start the FUND raising?

I don't have the budget to race with or against John Force. I think it's safe to say that no other member of this board has the budget either. My car will be completed on my time, not yours, or anyone elses. The intent purpose of building the car is not to set the Pontiac performance world on fire, but rather to entertain those interested in the nostalgia side of the hobby with performances akin to what it was like "back in the day".

Thanks for the reply but I was not talking to or about you. Hope to see all you guys at Norwalk!

[Cliff R]

Rich, just quit smoking for a month, you'd have enough money left to make the trip to Norwalk a couple of times!.....LOL.....Cliff

PS: when you pickin-up that engine, any good news from the dyno yet?
