It's alive..... finally

After working on it for over a year, we finally got my racecar started yesterday. All I can say is LOUD. It is a very wild 358 with a thirsty 830 Holley on top. Going to hit the track for the first time this weekend at VIR and needless to say, I am pumped. With that kind power, it should be entertaining watching me spin out in this thing.

Bring it on, Pearson!!

Hey, Don, how are you?

It will be AIX for sure. I will be way over the limit.
You going to be coming down for the races?

After seeing you're running a 358, I figured it was AIX, but I heard that you'd be in AI, it just wasn't adding up, well, unless the car weighs about 2 tons!!

Yeah, I'll be at the races...not all of them, but as many as I can get to. Grad school is gonna get in the way of some of them...but then again it's gonna help pay for the AI transformation of my car!!

Good luck with the car this weekend!!

thanks, I will need it. It was going to be an AI car, but I had to cut the fender lips to get 17" wheels on it. Between that and having a great friend that is an engine builder that offered to help, I decided to go AIX. The info on the AI East site is old and I need to get it changed.

Besides, I figured I would let Shugg keep the title next year by going AIX.

Thus begins the smack talking...have you been taking lessons from Tom Lewis? Why did you have to cut the fenders of an SN95 to get 17" wheels to fit?

So how much hp are you planning to bring to the table next year?

I'll show you mine if you show me yours....

Congrats on getting your car done. I know it must be a big relief for you.

thanks, guys. Believe me , it sucked to sit out this year on the sidelines.

Dean - come on down and see us.

tone - forgot to mention, my car is an '86, not the one in my avitar. that silver one is a car that I used to run in the OT schools, but didn't want to gut for AI. So, it is my daily driver now.

Yeah, I know Tom and he likes to talk it up. I have know shugg for about 4 years and we have given each other crap pretty much since we met.
Show you mine, huh? The guy that built it guessed that at the flywheel, I have over 450 inches, uh, I mean, horsepower , but I don't have the 'exact' numbers

hoov - thanks to you and Dan both for putting up with me and letting me hold my number and all this past year. This took a lot longer than i planned on.

john - there is a porsche group putting on a full course event this weekend. $249 with no instuctor for two days. It is nowhere near full and they said you can show up the day off and pay (hint, hint) . We are heading up Sat. morning early. Shugg is going to come up on Saturday for the day. we are going to use this weekend to just work out all the bugs and get ready for the spring time. when we cranked it on Sunday, we quickly found some things that needed to be tightened, moved, adjusted, etc. Quite a learning experience, I have to say. btw, I was joking about the HP number. I didn't want to show my full hand but since Hoov did........ 530 to 550 flywheel.
