Don't give me the used to have and beat this car or that!!!!! What are you building RIGHT NOW that will be a racer. Some of my projects are in my gallery pics...... Would of, could of, should of just don't cut it!!!! If you're not moving forward then ya must be backing up!!!! Last time I ran a 12 was when the coil went FUBAR shortly after getting into high gear!!!!

What I have now is much better then that 4 door Chevelle . But I do miss that car . Looks Like you have your work cut out for you with your car's . GOOD LUCK !

Yeah, well I LIKE WORK!!!! The more difficult and challenging it is the more I like it..... You seem to want to belittle me for doing body work.... Take a look at the pics of that Camaro and Tom's coupe. There is one heck of a lot of hand formed sheet metal under there!!! Not many people would have even started on Tom's coupe because of it's condition!!!! I'm doing it for the challenge!!!!]


Here's what else I'm doing. I will finish my pickup and the Camaro and sell them both for money to go racing with this summer... This will represent an investment of considerable money and countless hours just for the privilege of having you tell me I'm, not a racer cuz I don't use junk parts but prefer the top shelf stuff bought and modified at Pro race shops!!!! When the pickup and Camaro are done and gone I have 2 other projects coming in that will help pay for next year's new car. In my spare time I'll build one or two more of my own projects to finish and sell so I can buy a couple more engines... I don't have a life other then cars. I don't drink, don't take vacations, don't go to movies, don't go bowling, I don't do anything but work in my little garage seven days a week for as many hours as a disabled old man can endure!!!! Just finished my taxes, on the line that asks "occupation" I put Hot Rodder, same thing I've put on that line for 30 years!!!!! So, next time you're ready to have a chuckle on my account because I spend big bucks on the best parts, take time to ask yourself if you'd be willing to do what I do to go fast????

Man, you better go work for the NASCAR guys... Did a quick search, Martinsville is also a 1/2 mile asphalt.....


Stefanik Leads Qualifying For Made In America Whelen 300 - Martinsville Speedway 0.8169
Mike Stefanik came within an eyelash of the track record Friday night on the way to winning the pole for the Made In America Whelen 300 NASCAR Modified race at Martinsville Speedway. Stefanik turned in a fast lap of 100.547 mph (18.833 seconds) to capture the pole for Saturday night's Made In America Whelen 300. Fifty cars attempted to qualify for Saturday night's race, which will start 43 cars.

Martinsville is a 1/2 mile paved? hhhmmm....makes a guy think. Our local dirt 1/2 milers are holding 15.235 and 15.255 respectively for their records and plain janers runs real close to that even in the 360 classes. Not saying sprinters are the same class but they have no budget either.

According to my calcultaions, 13.2 secs on a half mile track is a 136.36 mph average.....

Well a half mile track in 13.2 secs is a lap average speed of 136.... Cornering speeds of about 100, with straightaway speeds about 150??????

355 cubes. 9 to 1, 2 barrel carb...at least that's the rules....

Not a quiz.
The reason I asked is because I know that different tracks have different class's.
So can you please tell me what class it is??

I guess what I was asking is this Busch,NASCAR,IMCA etc.??

What track is this????

Hay Dave when you do a Google's on that . Also check SB Chevy Tango . Lots of good info there COOL

I don't really care what google thinks about sbc's or tango's.....
