Sad to hear of the passing of an active car guy. My sincere condolences to family and friends

Wow, that's pretty harsh statement based off some off hand comment. Perhaps check on the validity of it first. I run the tent every year (I am a moderator on FBBO). It is complete bullshit that people without cars aren't welcome. We don't care if you are an A body, B body, C body, etc. guy or...

You are not hijacking anything - all good - in a way this is a "what is going on at Carlisle" thread! :thumbsup:

Please see edit below in red - I missed including this item earlier. 2025 Chrysler Nationals FxBO Tent Activities First, the FxBO tent is located In the center aisle up from the grand stand. See yellow circle below. Friday: Noon to 1PM Bring your own lunch and hang out with other FxBO...

There is usually pretty good representation from the A body folks - Last year we had about 120 folks total, so we've upped the tables and chairs. Hopefully the weather will be good!

2025 Chrysler Nationals FxBO Tent Activities First, the FxBO tent is located In the center aisle up from the grand stand. See yellow circle below. Friday: Noon to 1PM Bring your own lunch and hang out with other FxBO members. There will be water and beer available to drink - free as long as...

The Carlisle Chrysler Nationals are right around the corner! (July 10, 2025 - July 13, 2025) As a reminder, please list FBBO as your "car club" when registering a car. This helps us get a better tent for all of us to enjoy. (We have been unable to get Carlisle to merge FABO, FBBO, FCBO, FEBO...

Thanks everyone for a great day yesterday at the tent! As usual, I was running around like crazy, trying to do 10 things at once and doing none of them very well. I certainly didn't have time for many pictures, but here are a few at least: Here is what we start with. It's a bigger tent now...

Folks: Just a quick note that the FxBO tent luncheon is shaping up to be awesome, with lots of good food and drink. While this is not a guarantee, likely possibilities are ribs, Italian meatballs, spiced apricot pork, white hots (hot dogs), garlic shrimp and probably some sort of chicken and...

Thank you for listing FBBO, and welcome to the FxBO tent! Enjoy the show

Unfortunately, Carlisle did not send me any overall information on which classes go where. The only thing I know is that R137 is 70 Road Runner modified. But I doubt that helps anyone out! For sure, things are moved around this year - looks like they swapped E bodies and A bodies from where...

Alright folks - it is starting to get close to Carlisle time! I received my parking pass for my car today. Usually, at Carlisle I have too much to do so I can't show it, but one of my buddies will be driving it to Carlisle and showing it for me. Anyway, I received a map with it as well. I...

UPDATE Finishing this work had some delays due to the fact that my retina in my left eye partially detached - I am still dealing with the fallout from that. But, we just got the car running and driving again. It runs super well with a ton of torque and power - I am very happy with the way it...

So first, sorry for slow replies - my retina almost fully detached from my eye and I had to have emergency surgery, so I have been down for a bit. I still have trouble with PCs and screens due to my eye. I promise I will update this thread once everything is back together, but a couple of short...

I'm certainly not looking to start a fight over hydraulic vs. solid. I like solid lifter cams and for real performance I think they are the way to go. However, saying that every race track would disagree isn't applicable here. This is not a race car, it is a street driven cruiser. For example...
