NMCA St. Louis Ford vs Chevy
 

302 VS 302 May 5,6,7.

Re: NMCA St. Louis Ford vs Chevy
 

Talked to Darren this morning as is racing NMCA in Rockingham. For the ease of work he says he wants to run the 2019 DI 360 HP combo instead of the Port Injected 2023 350 HP combo.

Since he is racing Rockingham, Reynolds and Charlotte before St Louis he has very little time to make the conversion. Now he said that he doesn't know if he can get to FS/G weight. SMH LOL

He is going to wear out a set of tires before I have made any passes with my new 350HP combination.
I did say that I haven't tested yet, he said that I had "old man problems" I told him I was only working on my excuses for St Louis. Us people up north don't have tracks open yet. (another excuse)

Since I cannot get to FS/F weight we might need to agree on a minimum weight for the runs.

I had hoped to test this coming week somewhere but it looks like rain everywhere that is within 8 hours drive time.

Indy points meet looks like my only chance to make some passes before St Louis.

This is going to be fun!

Bowling Green’s Beach Bend is having a test and tune Friday 4/21/23 4pm to 8pm. Saturday we have a SS/S Combo race 4/22/23, and Sunday another SS/S Combo race. I believe it’s NHRA rules just like the Points races placed on ladder by qualifying time.

It will be a good place to set up your car before the race at Indy 4/28-30/2023. Keep in mind that the the AHFS is unforgiving.

Will there be anyone at this race that can help Robbin find his way to the staging lanes?

(You can count on the OLD GUY to give you a quarter.)

Re: NMCA St. Louis Ford vs Chevy
 

Darren WWT track is very forward thinking and even have directions in Braille. I confident he can gat there.
Have you got that 800 cu.in. Slug ready to race an engine half it size ?

Even if I lose I win.

Larrry,

Maybe you can make sure that he takes his meds, etc. and point him in the right direction?

Re: NMCA St. Louis Ford vs Chevy
 

After I take my meds I will try to remember to help him take his.

Re: NMCA St. Louis Ford vs Chevy
 

Meds, miracles through modern chemistry.

Not unlike the crack that you must be smoking! Hahahahahaha........

I would caution you not to wear that deal out before St Louis but I don't want to jinx myself. Hopefully I can get a couple of passes in before then.

That ain't no lie.......damn LS engines oh sorry LT engines can hide 440 cubic inches under those valve covers.

If I fix the average on the 302/360 at Charlotte this weekend, I will switch to the 302/350 on Monday. My math says that I need one more run (weather permitting).

I also scored 150 pounds of lead shot yesterday. My guy will be making weight bars Friday to put the car in FS/G.

Now, if Robin could just get some test runs in, maybe we will see a break in the constant flow of tears.....
