How long does it take to "fix" a driver?!? Seems you've been working on that for half a century!

What year was it that Billy Nees was the Land of NED Stock Eliminator Champion?

Frank Castros · 10-02-2022, 08:08 PM

Is it too early to nominate Billy for the NED Image of Youth award? An oxymoron perhaps?

That Stock story is worth re-telling for the less than seasoned citizens here ;-)

I just got finished reading Larry's latest post on Dumbo and all I can say pal is "it's that time of the year".

Here in the Northeast we're running out of tracks to run on. Island has a "Mopar" race, MG has a Truck race, M-D has the SBRA Bracket finals and Numidia is having a couple of High $$$ Races. The only place for me to go this weekend was Cecil Co. and after my 3+ hour ride, I was greeted with a mob scene. To add insult to injury, I forgot to bring the cable to adapt the laptop to the car. Wasted day...........I hate wasting days.
At any rate, I sat in the staging lanes from about 9:00 until almost 2:00 for ONE run and couldn't even make any adjustments to the car. After talking to my "Tuner" I decided to just try and make one FAST run to see if it would. I got the trans good and hot and the engine as cold as I could get it and staged the car as high on the converter as I comfortably could ( about 2800 vs. 2400).
to get to the point of this story, sometimes even the worst days can turn out pretty good! With a 1300' DA. and a 10-15 MPH HEAD wind, Not Fer Nuthin' went a 14.777@ 91.27 MPH! The best until then was a 15.003.
That kinda made my day! .823 under with junk!

Great.
I'm going to forward you all my Ecotech calls...

Island ran all make T&T yesterday! They had more T&T cars than they did Mopars actually. Could have made at least 5-6 runs.

Nice run though Billy! Just miserable that you had to wait all day for it.
