That was my experience too. I had 3:23 stock in my GTX, but I thought I could do better with 3:91’s. Nope, actually slowed down by a couple tenths.

The bottom line is the fun part, and I’m glad you had fun. I miss those days too, although the long drive home in the middle of the night was never my favorite part.

After the big shutdown and lawsuits surrounding Milan, it’s nice to see someone not only open it back up, but also put the money into all the much needed upgrades and improvements. And it sounds like it’s paying off for the racers as well. T&T is the breadbasket of the sport, and racers at that...

Had a good old boy come and buy a 65 Barracuda from me. Pulled it up, used one chain, zig zagged it through the car chassis, hooked it to a chain binder and cinched it down. Pulled the entire car right down on the trailer. He was done and gone in 5 minutes. I said “hey, that’s pretty slick”, he...

Yep, the rear wheel wells of the Bullet have been massaged to fit bigger tires under the rear. It has also been extensively lightened by Jimmy, using a hole saw all over the car. Anywhere he could, he drilled out holes to lighten up the car, then put the trim back on to cover up the holes. On...

I run the stock 11” manual drum setup on my 6bbl Roadrunner. I’m well adept at running drum brake cars, I’ve had a bunch over the years. I like the feel of the car the way it came, and am very comfortable with that, even during “spirited” driving episodes. I also have manual steering, I like to...

I made a few good scores there, and I was surprised that it was only $5 to get in, they should’ve been charging $10. I paid $10 to get in the car corral, I gave him $20, didn’t sell the car tho, but that’s ok, it was all for a good cause.

I was at Onondaga a couple weeks ago for a big swap meet to raise money to open the doors there. It was a big turnout, so I hope they raised a boatload of cash to open it up.

But here is my all time favorite side by side. The Kendal camper is my grandpas, and although it was all in fun, that $1 in prize money meant the world to these 2 fierce competitors!

Here’s one of my favorite races, up against my brother at the Nats a few years ago. I’m in the Cuda, and of course his big block power won that day, but I got a new secret weapon under the hood, and I’m ready for a rematch

I still had fun, and it was great meeting Bill (under pressure). On the way home, I visited my childhood home, I wanted to get a picture of my car out front, parked just like my dads was in some pictures I have, but I didn’t want to bother the owners. On the way through Plymouth, I had a...

I’m coming as soon as my wife gets home from work, I asked her to be home by 5. I’ll be in the Roadrunner, I’ll look for you all at the Auto Zone/ Korvettes.

I’d like to do this Saturday too, just waiting on my band practice schedule, which I’d like to blow off anyway. Saturday says 55 and partly cloudy.

My car is also very spirited when driving it. It’s tuned just right and it acts like it’s a teenager the day he got his license. That’s because it was just a teenager when it was taken off the road, and it has been forwarded in time from that day to now. I think that’s why this idea feels kinda...

definetely come!

I would love to have a meet up down there as well! Cruise down to Miller’s for a burger, check out the scene along the way, and generally make a nuisance of ourselves. Then, sneak out of town on a back road before the Bronze can nail us down, you know, just like the old days!

I grew up at Beech and Plymouth, and played little league at the field by Korvettes. My dad was a regular on Telegraph, as was his buddy Bob, who had a 70 Hemi GTX. He could never best Dads car tho, there’s was just something special about Dads car, it ran 12:30 in completely stock condition...

What part of telegraph are you cruising? I might be up for making that trip.

Stanton, up by Mt Pleasant, and US131 out in Martin, close to Grand Rapids. That is a beautiful track, the owners spent about $7m to bring it up to NHRA specs a few years ago. Not sure why there is no NHRA meet there yet, but I think that was the promise. Next closest track might be Norwalk...

So, you paid him $4k to replicate this setup and you didn’t get what you paid for? I smell a lawsuit here, and in my area, $4k would buy you the whole dam car. I pay my trans guy $400 to rebuild my transmissions on the bench. And, I see you’re in Medford, maybe you know my uncle Joe? He owns...
