Jack, Go tell Buck to wake up! He has a grill that needs tending!

Jack Matyas · 06-19-2009, 03:42 PM

Unbelieveable but true -- the Sun is out -- S/C and S/S got their runs in and S/G is on the track as I type....looks as if we're going to get a second run in tonight.....depends on how the alcohol cars do .

This afternoon Tim Bishop showed up with his F-Bomb B/S Firehawk -- nice piece -- he hasn't been seen much lately . Also pictured during S/S is Johnny D ( in red shirt ) up on a perch taking shots in the bleach box .....
Even though it was a four hour delay Joe Sways guys and the NHRA crew scraped from the burnout to the 660' mark --no easy feat for sure ..and boy oh boy did the track have 'teeth' when they were done.....

Almost forgot -- two records set the first leg -- SS/CA -- Oakes -- 9.02 P/S Cokinos 12.36 .
Pudgie -- I'll put your food order in -- wait at your garage door --might be awhile .And I hope you enjoy the last picture in the group . Ya' shoulda' came .........Also pictured is 'Uncle Buck' -- this time awake and preparing one of his masterpieces and finally we see Bucky Hess multi-tasking........wonder who he is talking with ?

Anyone know what actual weight Brian was running the camaro at? Is he running at 3502 lbs with the 427 476hp alum head combo?

Denny Steward · 06-19-2009, 08:04 PM

he runs alum head combo rated at 445 min weight is 3285 he was 80 lbs heavy at Atco

mannymen · 06-19-2009, 08:12 PM

I assume he's using the GM perf alum heads, so do you have to modify the combustion chambers from O/C to C/C to run at 445hp?

RAIN -- And plenty of it ! ! ! This morning we were only minutes from starting eliminations ( because of bad weather headed our way Mr. Lang & Co . decided to start early ) when the sky's opened up bigtime . I would have to say that today doesn't look very promising and tomorrow showers are expected .Rumors are already flying around -- Monday ? Tuesday ? Who knows -- but I'll fill you in as I get the news .

Later today you folks will be getting remnents of what washed over us last night. Four inches of rain in an hour. Good luck.

Get out your water wings!

thomas sheehan · 06-20-2009, 11:53 AM

Things were looking up this afternoon -- rain stopped and the Sun came out and really helped to dry the place out .And even the track owner was optimistic --- Joe Sway himself was out on the track using the vacumn / sweeper -- this guy really is hands on for sure ( see picture below ) .Things were fine until around 9 pm when the rain hit again -- will it ever stop ? Tonight we were treated to a beautiful sunset......

Pairings for 1st rd -- Bialas vs Medeiros heads up -- Allison v Wendy -- Gray v Pires jr -- Martins v Adkins in a battle of sticks --Hawk v Bollman -- there will be a great many singles as a bunch of racers left tonight .........
