Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
Yep, I use a computer pretty much for everything, the cool part is I can link my datalogs to the run info and run reports on it
 Im gonna call em TPS reports, like in "Office Space" Damm it feels good to be a Ganster...... I cant promise much of a show, other than us just showing up by the skin of our teeth and our car being actually wrapped in the pits, one of our sponsors is a wrap company and well......the only chance they will have is in the pits....should be interesting to see. BUT I dont have my Golf Cart, and I didnt get a chance to run over to PA to pick up my NEW Vintage bike.....(well 100 and something original miles not bad for a 72) And no grill, and no soda fountain......Im bummed about that, but I may wallpaper my trailler in the pits if I can get my hands on enough vintage HotRod and CarCraft mags to cut up. Also may lay tile in it while Im out there.......thats after I rebuild our generator....ive got all the parts in the Pacifica, but wont have time to do it till were trackside. I do have our shirts being delivered out there, and I got my new timing chain in so, I may do that trackside, but Ive got to pull the motor to do it...yes really on these motors with the oil pump and pickup the way it is....(and secret squirrel patches) Im saving the cars original namesake I had picked and the appropriate logo for the 8's ....... Dead Mans Hand (or Aces and Eights) for a name, my favorite poker hand, but if I rename the car then I need to get a custom gold pinkie ring made with the Ace and 8 on it.....I aleady had it speced at a Jewler so.....the A8 Patch will be my reward (Im only half serious its up to you to figure out what part Im serious about and what part Im joking about, the pinkie ring...thats serious)This is of course all dependent on me not turning the whole engine to a pile of aluminum and iron shavings that I can then give to my kids to grind up and make thermite with...... Well be the ones with the 180k mile rusty Dodge truck and dull trailer Ive had for 2 or 3 years and never finished taking the sticker off of, it still reads "Scotty Racing Team OvertheRoad Trucking" But since I pulled some of the letters off now it reads "Sco Rac Ove ucking" Who knows what the hell they think that means in California land, if I get winks from large Hairy guys and smootches Ill have an idea why........ Kinda like the last roadtrip we took in 2 vans, I put a sign on my buddys van that said "Ohio Gay and Lesbian Youth Evangalists" he got a strange combination of Angry drivers , but an overwhelming and frigthening majority of winks and kisses from very large scarry truck drivers.He wasnt real happy when he saw what I had printed up and stuck to his van........(but still has it hanging in his garage) Anyone know where I can get a stuffed, remote controlled weasel in short notice ?

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
I just thought I'd keep you informed....
Pomona starts in 7 days.... Driving time from Ohio or Atlanta or Texas is pretty substantial......better get rolling soon...

"Positive thinking"people.....hahaha...............You could substitute some other terms right there I think....... Atlanta to LA area is about 2200 miles according to this here puter. There appears to be no time for testing in Texas but maybe the days get longer as you drive west..... Confuscius say Haste makes waste

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
You can drive from NJ to CA in 3 days, done it with big Plymouth on the back of my C-30 flatbed, 2 people alternating driving with 1 hotel stop in the middle. We all know the problems that can plague a new car, give the guy a break. Give him some credit for what he has done so far, yea he likes to talk but he admits when he is wrong so he is not just some stroke. Time will tell and we will see how many gremlins turn up but I dont think he will have many.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
If drooze is willing to put in 14-20 hour days to get it completed and running, getting it to Pomona in 3 days time shouldn't be a problem. He could even swing by Music City Raceway for some testing on Feb. 6 and 7. I think he already has a few runs on it.

Re: Challenger Drag Pak Owners
[QUOTE=W J;167088]While you're at it, how about giving the "positive thinking" people here your reason (s) just WHY drooze and his team won't make it to Cali? I'm saying, and hoping he will be there....
WJ[/QUOTE Ok, I will think positive and hope Drooze makes it to Pomona,CA.All I am saying is if he had a more positive plan with a new car he could be at the stripe at las vegas motor speedway doing testing this weekend on his way to Pomona.I was there last weekend for the PSCA DRAG RACE and the weather (60-70 degrees) and track was perfect.We shall see!
