Also been told that he was booted off the Team Chevelle board as well, seems even Chevelle lovers didn`t want to deal with Mr.Eds horse *****.

Stock is where Barry drives. He does more than drive, and in more classes than Stock. Barry also builds engines. That's all I'll say on the subject, as it is not my place to disclose more about Barry. I will say that Barry was a huge help when I returned to Stock, helping Kevin Cradduck. He not only helped me resolve a big problem, he helped me find some power, and helped me make a connection that took me a long way.


As far as the other guy, I could not care less.


Remember, guys, when you get down in the mud and wrestle with a pig, the pig likes it.

Thank you guys!
He doesn’t understand that this forum and others work as intended. I’ve made numerous friends here and they have helped me get where I am and I’ve tried to repay by helping others.



Sorry for the derail JR.

Back in the '80s racing dirt track mopars, I made a home-made version of a pistonless accusump out of a fire extinguisher bottle. Painted the bottle nitrous blue just to mess with everyone

Barry, when you're involved it's never a derail. I have had a lot of P.M.'s
from this post, from a lot of nice, knowledgeable people. There is an
accusump for sale in the parts for sale section. It is for sale by Gregg Luneack, one of the more knowledgeable engine builders in S/SS. Gregg
is downsizing and selling off some of his more prized parts. I understand
that 1320 Ed has contacted him on the down low with some questions,
just saying.................................

How does one get "kicked off YB"? New owners insisting on better manners?

I can't wait for the thread on System ! style oil filters. Should be a hoot.

11 days ago old Barry a former stock eliminator racer posted this on a thread titled...

"Well I'm officially an EXracer now"

at Bracket Talk, a forum about bracket racing yet he ain't a bracket racer, imagine that.

"Not far behind you, have a Team who wants this car. He’s been bugging me last four years…
Prob pull the plug on it all. It’s no longer fun"

he's also posted in the past that he hasn't raced in some time.

What’s this have to do with the thread Lurker?
Jealous I have more Class / bracket racer friends than you?
Oh I forgot, you can’t post there.
All my friends know what I’m up to. That’s all that matters. I race, you don’t.

I am going to buy accusump type systems for ALL of my 4 stroke engines. Pickup truck, wife's Honda, Mustang hot rod, Street/strip car, lawn mower, and back up generator!!!!!!!!!!! Hell, I'm even gonna put them (somehow) on my 2 strokes!!!!!

[1320racer]

I wonder if Barton, Patterson Elite, BES, Line, Tilburg tell their customers they must run an accusump on the engines they build? I know they don’t because I have friends that run engines from all these builders!

[Billy Nees]

At this point, who cares?
