... are you seriously expecting anyone in here to back you up with that comedy ??? ...

.... after ALL of the trash Jack threw at us, you are now going to take the stand that HE is of a "Sportsmanship" character ??? ...

... again Jason, please do a better job of providing factual and reality based posts ...

But there have been a number of unscheduled gremlins, flat out failures, and uncooperative weather that have pushed our target dates back. Granted, we got a late start, but some of that couldn't be helped. I feel especially bad for Jim and Bill as they both had a lot riding on this project. Their help has been immeasurable though out.

Four hours of sleep per night has become the norm around here, so we are understandably burned out. Just this past week during a converter and ring & pinion swap, we found a cracked diff case. Thanks to Bill Krech for coming through with a spare, and Rob Senkyr for pitching in Thursday and Friday nights. Saturday our high zoot 16V lithium batteries took a dump at the track so we lost our test and tune window. It's been stupid stuff like this popping up at the most inopportune times. That left Sunday (today) to tow 4 hours to the only open ¼ mile track for a couple of time trials. Considering our mental and physical state, we decided to pull the plug. There is simply no reason to tow 14 hours to Norwalk with a car that is not ready. We will get this sorted out – just not this week.

Yes, we are frustrated and really bummed, but we realize that Norwalk will go on with or without us – we're really not a big deal. Good luck to all going and stay safe.

Dick Fulton

Questions are: Will Dick show? How fast can he really go round after round? Will he run faster than a SB Ford on NOS ran in 1998 at the same weight?

Looking forward to hearing the after race results.

fastest nitrous small block Ford in 1998 was Billy Glidden 7.90s @ 2800#

I didn't say anything about the race or John either . But I will say this, I have no problem waiting until Fulton is ready to run his car.

To see what Fulton runs, what else? I want to see if its faster than his old ehttfmfr engine. I believe it will be.

Thank you for clearing that up. I am anxious to see the results also.

You believe in the phucking tooth fairy!

I'm looking forward to see what both Jack and Dick runs. For Pontiac lovers (like me) with no dog in the fight, I am always hoping to see any Pontiac guys go faster, no matter what heads (or any other parts) they are running.

Don't be mad that I don't care about your car, never have never will. Beating you would just be a bonus. I just want to see Fulton run better than he ran with his old combo.

[Tom Vaught]

Good Luck with your Business priorities.

Taking care of Business and Family comes first for most people and is not hard to understand.

Keep safe, Jack!

If I can I'd like to give a nod to everyone on here (including the ratchets) for your passion at least. I'm Dick's son, Brandt. I grew up in the shop and no one aside from my father has more time on this car than myself. In short nothing on wheels concerns me more.

If we could have made it to Norwalk we would have. Norwalk itself is the destination-not a silly match race. Please do not take an explanation as a list of excuses. We first heard of this thread when we had our heads in our hands Saturday night discussing our dwindling options.

I understand this wide port/cv1 rift but it still to this day seems laughable to me. For heavens sake what on earth did yall bicker about BEFORE someone sunk everything they owned into helping a stock bore spacing Pontiac block make more horsepower? Was it tire brands or how Pontiac one's Pontiac still is? For those keeping track: Last time I checked the only stock Pontiac piece we actually run is the roof metal. No joke.
Wide ports are great. They make awesome power. Both our sets were pretty darn maxed out. RR gave us a set of cast entry level Street heads off the shelf to try. We took our motor we call "Billie" to the dyno and pulled the crap out of her. Then we took our maxed out ported e heads off and bolted on the cast cv1s. They flat made more power. And we said, "COOOL!" we like more power. The discussion ended there for me. Though I new of it I was about as uninformed on the big debate as one could hope for.
For what it's worth, I don't get spooled up on this forum racing stuff but to those with e heads, I believe you have a good piece. If I didn't believe in the e head I'd say so _ask around I don't hold back. I'm no nut hugger.

I just have trouble shaking the feeling I had during our first trip to Norwalk when I thought, wow what a place! And everyone here is going fast with fireturds n goats n everything! N btw that first year popps pointing out how kickass that bright red gto is, liljack. -My dad's favorite year goat.

I'll conclude my blathering by saying, as disappointed as I am to not have a chance to go to Norwalk, I'm equally as disappointed in the personal shots n fence building in the Pontiac ranks both home and abroad. U know who u are. I call on all yall to light it up at Norwalk and ****ing pull the pins and let it rain Pontiac ****ing thunder this weekend! Head down shoulder in.
