Thread: Been a While

Tweet

Been away from the forum for awhile. Only because I got involved with a 55 Chevy, and found a Tri-Five specific site. That project got me involved in drag racing again, and the car, all steel, BBC, runs mid 11's. Lot's of fun in the E-Gas class, heads up racing, but a .5 light. Good for an old guy!
Well, that led to more addiction, and the purchase of a non-running nostalgia altered - needing loads of work (it came in a basket). Did some open wheel racing last year to get used to it, then got the chassis cert, physical, and license passes last summer. The first N.E.III outing in October, revealed a faulty sportsman trans brake, even though we did make it to the third round. So over the winter, the car came apart, again, for the transmission work.
At the A.N.R.A. opener we made it to the final, taking runner up. On the day, we had two identical breakout e.t.'s The first 9.595/9.595 we won by .0014! The last one was on the final race, 9.565/9.565 but we were second by a hair due to my slightly slower r.t. How often do you see identical e.t.'s and two in the same day?
What a thrill!
