[InfamousSVT]

Anyone looking for a slightly used Kenne Belle? :rolleyes: :thumbsup:
Just out of curiousity, what kind of shape is it in, when was it purchased (how long has it been on the car), and any problems with it? Reason for selling it?

Thanks,

[John Chingasos]

LETS GET IT ON!!!!


WHERE IS JIMMY SIDECAR??????????????? I WANT SOME .....your subframes are on and you got no excuse :D

[97CasperCobra]

LETS GET IT ON!!!!

I want some of that Mach. :p

If you show...I'll go. :thumbsup:

[John Chingasos]

We will see.......Its ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Lurker wants to go too


I SEE YOU LURKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which smile should we rename Lurker?? :eek: :bugeyes: :side: :surprise: :flip: :what: :lurk:

My vote is for :lurk:

WHERE IS JIMMY SIDECAR??????????????? I WANT SOME .....your subframes are on and you got no excuse :D

Oh you mean my 55 pounds of ballast???

Well...
No excuse ... except I'm quite BROKE$$$...

What does this little adventure cost???(actually interested---since directly challenged)
Not counting ... Fuel and .......(heaven forbid)BREAKAGE???

I suppose I could slam it on "the card"... if they take a Visa that is...

Otherwise we could just do the math...

But the there is always driver error(something I seem to be fairly proficient at)...

I do know Mach ones are a deadly opponent!!!

They leave... much better than Terminators do(much less or no hop)

Do they allow heads up ... grudge runs???

I've not been to the drags since... 1984??? maybe before that...

I've never dragged a stick car...

I've never dragged an IRS car...

I've never power/speed shifted a stick car(crunch!!!)

Not much to gain if I do win... It's more than expected .. :doubt:

But if I screw up and ...
1. can't launch
2. wheel hop and let off
3. miss a shift
4. slip into a coma on the tree

I'm dinner...

And the subject of ridicule for months to come ...(until the next open track event.... with turns!!!!)

It would be fun though...
1st time at the drags with "my little mustang"...
Would finally get a time slip(to find out just how bad I am)


Then again....

I would love a 12 and some MACH 1 BLOOD!!!

I doubt it ... but it is the expected outcome...

Ya got me going.. a bit .... with the CHALLENGE

Freaking testosterone just will not cut me any slack!!!..........lol

Hmmmm....

[Levi]

Jimmy, I know how you feel. I would like to go down track a couple of times but my old clutch my not be up to the task. I may just go and hang out.

[97CasperCobra]

I may just go and hang out.

yay!! we may need a video camera person....more footage for the website.... :thumbsup:

[John Chingasos]

JIMMY SIDECAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its 15 dollars to race and yes they allow grudge matches and I might have a free pass for you so it will cost you Nothing to get your Reptile Ass handed to you by AMERICAN ICON KNOWN AS THE MACH 1.

Sorry for getting overly excited....... :D

[Firme]

Jimmy, you know if you beat him, hes gonna have to sell that MACH1 and get an 03/04 right :jk:

[97CasperCobra]

So should we all meet up at that Wendy's on I-10 and Sheldon Rd. before hand and go together???

[93KingCobra]

cool with me what time?????

[97CasperCobra]

cool with me what time?????

3:30pm......gates open at 4pm. Guess now that I've planned the meeting time/place I can't back out..... :( :p

[Firme]

I will be going home from work and changing and heading out, so I won't be up there right at 5

[John Chingasos]

Are those times right?

I thought thet open gates at 5:30 racing at 6:00. Atleast it was like that 2 weeks ago when we went last time?????

[93KingCobra]

3:30pm......gates open at 4pm. Guess now that I've planned the meeting time/place I can't back out..... :( :p

Looks like you will be there by yourself B/C I don't get off till atleast 4:30 and then there is travel time...

Could possible bring the ET streets if someone wants to break an half shaft. :rotf:

[97CasperCobra]

I'll be bringing the DRs but will start out on the street tires. :thumbsup:

[Codes]

Me and my dad are really going to try and show up, I had no idea he wanted to come cause I thought he was going to the lease and I didnt really want to come alone. Guess what car I am bringing...ill give you a few hints...its not the Cobra or the SVTF (Both need oil change)...:bounce:

Edit: I am going to drive, dad is going to watch and hang out.

Neon!!!! awesome....let me know if you wanna meet up ....though I'm sure you're coming the opposite way I am.

[jimmysidecarr]

I'm the closing guy at work...
I lock up at 6pm in Spring...
But after that...




I'm IN!!!!

Helmets required???(leaving straight from work)

Recomendations for a 1st timer...

Is this the Baytown facility... IE: the NHRA track????

Or is this that semi ghetto 1/8th miler on the "norf side"???

Jimmy :dunno:

[jimmysidecarr]

Houston Raceway Park. It is the 1/4 mile drag strip in Baytown
:thumbsup:

DUH!!!! oops .... never mind

Edit: Still in!!!

[97CasperCobra]

Jimmy :dunno:

Those who break the 14s must wear a helmet, so if you have one bring it. I'm sure you could borrow mine in between runs if no one has one to spare. :thumbsup: Maybe you could borrow Stan's??? :dunno:

[93KingCobra]

Yes Jimmy bring your helmet all 03/04's need them...


We are just too friken fast DUDE :D :flash: :burnout:

Jimmy bought a helmet for TWS i believe :)

[Codes]

Neon!!!! awesome....let me know if you wanna meet up ....though I'm sure you're coming the opposite way I am.
Would love to but yea, unless some of you people want to meet up somewhere in LaPorte (about 15 minutes from baytown) then I will just be meeting you guys up there. I will bring a helmet but I doubt I will need it:rolleyes:. Cant wait, see everyone up there.

[Firme]

this foookin rain better not be around tomorrow night :mad:

I wouldn't be able to stand going to HRP again when it rains out (that would be like half a dozen visits in a row :edmond: )

[97CasperCobra]

Think the MAIN cell is past us...BUT.....if there's ANY sign of rain I'm gonna be out....just letting you guys know ahead of time. I don't want to drive down on DRs only to get into rain and I don't want to leave my '03 rims out in the parking lot for sticky hands to take.

[jimmysidecarr]

Jimmy bought a helmet for TWS i believe :)

CORRECTIMUNDO!!!
I've got the helmet thing covered...
I wonder what the F1s are going to need in the rear ... for pressure???

22 pounds???

I'll just drop em down at the track(pressure guage in console)

Jimmy :thumbsup:

I run my drag radials at 18psi. they have an air compressor at the track as well if you need to add more air to your tires....or you can hit up one of the gas stations on your way out.

So it looks like I'll be running solo at the track for a while.....don't worry guys...I'll get in a few runs for ya'll. :thumbsup:

[93KingCobra]

Actually it is better to run about 15psi on DR B/C after you heat them up in the pit your temp rises to about 17psi and that is where you want to be... ;)

HOLY CRAP!!!

The track shuts down for "the winter"...

And it opens up .......3 weeks later?????!!!!!

Now that's funny!!!

In Syracuse ... we were down from October to April!!!

I have a feeling running a Terminator on a 50 degree track with F1s is going to be a little bit like ....
