Well I'm sorry you guys were seeing those forecasts. My phone app said no chance of rain at all from Thursday on. I double checked online as well through Sat. night and it was the same. I get it, it's a tough call sometimes. I'm not calling out anyone in particular here, people can do whatever...

No electronics was fun to watch today.

It was. Not sure what forecast you were looking at?

Pretty nice day up at the Valley today. OK turnout I guess but sadly not like it used to be where the lanes were filled all the way to the end. Seeing Bob Glidden's Arrow on display was wild though, made the whole thing worth it. Gotta support these events and the tracks that hold them guys. I...

Weather forecast seems to have improved for now. Supposed to rain Saturday but Sunday is clear.

Like everyone else I'm planning on going if the weather cooperates. Always tough when it's iffy. Hate to drive 2+ hours for nothing or stay home and it doesn't rain. For anyone else in the general area the Island Dragway Mopar day is on the 22nd.

How about this - put the carburetor on and see how it runs. Do you know how to set the floats, transfer slots and idle speed? If you don' know how to do those things, Holley has some real basic instructional videos on YouTube for pretty much anything you would need to know. Is the car in your...

Where do you live? What exactly do you need help with?

I grew up in Stamford. Might be moving back there sometime in the near future. Nice Dart.

Kinda wish I would have gone, sounds like it was a good turnout. Went to a BBQ instead with people that I'm not even sure I want to be friends with any more. Hope to be at the one in the fall.

I might go. Kind of a long ride from L.I. but it's always fun to go up there. If my car was running, definitely!

Mopars at the Valley on the 28th. I hope to make it up for that one way or another.

How was the turnout? Always a good event. I kinda wish they would move it a week later instead of having it on Labor Day weekend. And yeah, the humidity is stifling.

Come down to the Island this summer! I am working in Briarcliff Manor these days, which is what, 35 miles from you up 684? Maybe if I don't have daddy daycare duty one night I can come by after work to hang out. I'd like to come up but it's hard for me to do that drive in the Duster with 4.30...

Man, it took me 7 friggin' hours to get here! No kidding, it's usually a 3-4 hour trip for me from the Island. I got stuck in a huge traffic jam just outside Easton, PA for almost two hours. Plus city traffic was of course horrible...I am wiped out. Missed the drags at Quarter Aces which I'm...

That's funny. Wouldn't be Carlisle without excessive heat and pavement-melting humidity.

Booked my hotel for Fri. night. Leaving work early on Friday to catch the drags before check in. Gonna hit the swap meet early as always. And since my last post a few weeks back, I now have a bunch of stuff to look for... somebody buy the 8.75 I have for sale!

I went to the Paul's thing. Was OK, not terribly exciting but good to get out. Didn't stay too long, was winding down when I got there at 1:00. Left a nice launch for the fans when leaving...:burnout:

Hey, that's sorta near me. Maybe I can come down to that with the Duster. I've been by that shop, cool place. The whole complex is all car places.

I should be there. Only missed it once in the last 15 or so years. Don't have a lot to buy at the moment which is good. I'm also hoping to get to Quarter Aces on Friday afternoon for some 1/8 mile action. The York U.S. 30 Reunion which is usually held on the same weekend is being held a week...

There's a Father's Day car show at the Merrick train station. Picked up a flyer at SK. http://www.skspeed.com/p.aspx?u=FathersDayCarShow2012

What about a meet up at Captree some Sunday morning? Haven't made it down to Bellmore yet this year. Was hoping to get down there one of these Fridays. I'm up for anything if I can make the time.

That's true. I don't mind taking my project to SK, I'm sure they're competent. Question was more out of curiosity. I don't know a lot racers personally. Perhaps I should start getting to know some. For example, there's the Vignonas in upstate NY, but I read that Lou just passed away. Mopars...

Is there a Mopar-specific machine shop/engine builder on the Island that any of you guys use or know of? I know there's S K Speed which I'm sure is fine but I'd rather look elsewhere first to find someone who knows or specializes in Chrysler products. Thanks for any info. - Greg

I grew up on skis at Stratton, went to Green Mountain College and my buddy lives in Arlington. Does that count?

Anyone going to the Old Time Drags at E-Town this weekend? Always a good show. Nostalgia drag racing, awesome displays etc. http://www.etownraceway.com/schedule/old_time_drags.aspx

Man, I am bummed I can't make it. Perhaps another meet-up can be planned for fall sometime.

Damn! I'll be at a wedding upstate.

Perhaps we could all meet at Bellmore some Friday evening during the summer? Or there's Captree on Sunday mornings, Oyster Bay on Tuesdays.... Not going anywhere myself until I get my car inspected - I have no turn signals/brake lights. Have a new TS switch on the way, hope to be up and running...

After living in the city for so long, it's nice to see there's still a thriving car culture out here. All you ever see in Brooklyn are beaters that people park on the street, taxi and gypsy cabs and delivery trucks. Most people take public transportation. I was cruising down the LIE this...
