Mooresville Pro Am Results - Congrats Wilson & Beard

Michael Beard · 06-02-2008, 03:23 PM

Good job to you too Tracy, and great job on thrashing a starter on the car in short order!

Told you that Vette runs 5.71 every single time we race! (Yikes!) My buddies there thought I took about 6 car lengths, and it looked like it to me inside the car, too. I ran the numbers, and it was only .025! That car is one bad unit... hauls butt! I heard somebody ask you in the lanes if that was a different motor to run SS/AM, but I didn't overhear the answer. New pieces, or just new vinyl?

Yes Michael, it's a different motor that we are just easing into so to speak. It should be a little quicker at Piedmont as this was our very first weekend running it. As a matter of fact I was working on it in my garage until about 8:30 Friday night trying to get it ready, so the combo race was our test session on this combination. Two great weekends in a row for you...congrats again!

Tell me more, and I'll try to get it in the race coverage. I like being able to add those kind of tidbits. Post here, or just e-mail me at beard@staginglight.com.

Oh, I forgot to thank Michael Beard and Scott Macy for all of their input on "TRYING" to get everything straightened out with me/the car (LOL!) this weekend. We ordered a new converter today and hopefully we can get it in by Piedmont. We think that was causing the pushing (the gear tightened it up quite a bit). Thanks, you guys are great.

Congrats Billy and Michael great job!
Thanks Hillary and Angela- great pics

Great Pics and thanks again

Angela Macy · 06-03-2008, 09:46 PM

Tom - I can email it to you which may or may not be bigger - I know I emailed Beard a link from photobucket and it wasn't a good resolution or something, but emailing him the picture direct was a lot better...made no sense to me but he said it was different. Either post your email or shoot me one at macyenterprises@yahoo.com

I noticed I was a tad late on my reaction time taking that picture....it happens, I bet you all can relate ha ha. If you're at Piedmont I'll try and get a better shot of the whole car.

Angela Macy · 06-03-2008, 09:52 PM

Tom - did you notice this one? It's show the whole car but is in the other lane and slightly blocked by the signs in the middle. I can email you both pics and any others you want.
