Somebody might want to tell "the best there is" that it's bar-SAME-e-en ..
Massafra...the accent's on the second syllable .
Have to forgive him though. He's from Arizona ;-)

The Carpetbagger was at LV, the first time I ever went there, and that's a long, long time ago.

I did NOT intend to " like? this post. I fat fingered the ?quote? button. I sure wish I could undo it.

What the heck are you even taking about here? Your post makes no sense and appears to poke at Alan.

The black and orange Dakota in post #5 - was that part of the McCormack fleet back in the day? I vaguely remember it being a 4 cylinder (?) combo back then. Fun to see it resurface!

The Dakota was an original " body in white " from Mopar , it was for sale in Ohio last year minus motor and trans and had a lot of good parts including an 8 3/4 rear . I don't know if it was part of the McCormack team or not originally. Its great to see it back out there racing as part of the Howes team of fast Mopars . Running H/SA I am guessing its a 5.9 / 360 Magnum combo , it was available from the factory that way as part of the R/T package. One of the McCormack Dakotas is still being raced in Stock in Division 3 by Steve Dziomy. He was recently runner / up the Norwalk Points meet . I have always liked that generation of Dakotas.

Lightbulb Re: Live from Lebanon Valley NHRA Lucas Oil Series

Good morning members and guests - And yippeeeee it's finally race day . After everyone gets one last Q run or time trial we'll head into eliminations this afternoon and all classes will get round one behind them .

This morning has us being just a wee bit nippy as the temp is at 53 at this moment but is to rise all the way up to around 80 by the time we go to rd 1 .That plus it's like they say - sunshine and blue skies all day .

Sorry but still having downloading issues - the Internet and my laptop can't seem to get on the same page .........But i'll get it fixed - got me a young whippersnapper ( not sure if that is really a word) college guy trying to help me fix things.

Later .........

Question Re: Live from Lebanon Valley NHRA Lucas Oil Series

So I wasn't going to write this little diddy but like a lot of you I'm tired of spending time trying to figure out what the right way is to slow my car down and frankly I'm sick of it ! ! I started racing more than five decades ago and it was always about finding out how to go faster - now it's just the opposite .Now it's take out fuel - add weight - take out timing - all things I don't want to do anymore .So by now some of you think I've gone nuts ....

Here's an interesting stat - during the second round of Stock qualifying there were 85 cars - 50 percent - yes half of the entrants stayed between the .65 and .85 under the index to keep their average down .That my friends was no accident ........

I'll listen to any and all ideas on how to fix this ..........
