4 weeks to button things up. Trying to move from 8.2's to 7.9's in the 1/8th. Hopefully they'll run 1/4 and it will get to mark it's first 1320 pass. Already did manual brake swap and small crank pulley. Still need to :
Getting close enough to get excited now
- Kit for the carb
- Flowmaster FX straight through mufflers
- Hopefully some passes to mess with shift points and timing games....
it will be interesting seeing what changes the new owners will make. They put out their new web site and they still advertise as 1/4 mile.
I DRAGGED a Full Size chebbie v8 auto truck, *** to *** w/ a chain, up the street and around a corner. Single cab, 5 spd 4.7 w/ 3.91s...YeeHaww! Fun night! 2 am in a quiet historic river front neighborhood Lol!bumper to bumper, that was a big thing here back in 80's and 90's. lol
That and seeing who could pull the biggest tree out of the woods.
So I wrote it off to rain as they called 90% chance with 22mph wind for Saturday at Cordova. They lowered the chances on Saturday when i got up but still plenty high so I said "not going". Then... my friend was there and said "we raced all day". Go figure......... ...... ..
Penciling in next weekend
Valid Point, in my Humble opinion
Did you notice ever since they started using computers to forecast weather they're always wrong. When there's a 100% chance it never rains, but it always snows when they call for it.So I wrote it off to rain as they called 90% chance with 22mph wind for Saturday at Cordova.

Did you ever pull a one cord tree out of the woods. lol
They suck down here, big time. A friend of mine was going to school for that, till he got beat to death by some convicts. Amazing what the classes / courses required areDid you notice ever since they started using computers to forecast weather they're always wrong.

I wish I could have been paid the big bucks to be right only 50% of the time. lol
Go next week and run a 7 something, its not if, it's when.
Not with a Lil Dakota! That's on heck of a tree right there! Lol, but I've dropped some oaks over 4' around and over 50' high. Ps. Don't get caught. Lol. We take the limbs off, then drop the tops. Ive done Hurricane work, and hazardous removals.
It's hard on the drivetrain no matter what truck is used.
We have several good jerks on this forum.....
You best be nice.
For the Full sized bowtie, I let him go at it, while holding the brake. Then eased the clutch in 1st, and was creeping away. He floored his ****, spun em, and I rolled right on out! Dragging his ***! Lol moral is, he was talking ****, and got locked!
Nah, we got some "left" here that need draggin'You best be nice.
Correct. It's not if, it's when. Even if it runs a 8.10, we'll make minor changes and get our 7'sDid you notice ever since they started using computers to forecast weather they're always wrong. When there's a 100% chance it never rains, but it always snows when they call for it.
