He is up to something

Re: Ron Ortiz
 

Sorry Mr Ortiz. I wish I lived closer than a thousand miles from Florida. It sounds like a good time. The two times I raced in Orlando at the Nat'l Open in December were fun. My Olds is right in between the T and U weight breaks, too. For the right amout of money, I might have to drag it out of mothballs.

Re: Ron Ortiz

Re: Ron Ortiz
 

I now see how this is gonna work..The pup said the 455/260 crankshaft would not balance you did not have anything to do with that did you Ron. Now he says tranny needs to be gone through..and rear end needs bearings...slicks are bald and gas tank dry....And social security is not getting a cost of living raise in2010. I do not know how much stress i can take ...Is the sympathy card working..,..DD

Re: Ron Ortiz
 

Well it has been some time since this thread has appeared, but the time has come for responses to all those that have posted. Especially since the challenge (throw down) is coming this week end.

First in order is Mr. Dedman and his law firms wonderful and thorough response. After talking to my people and other significant authorities from locations from "not around here" who cannot be named due to their unacceptance in a human society, we have reached a conclusion that some facts seem to be altered or misunderstood. First and foremost the vehicle (Catty) that I had purchased is from Mr. Bob of another solar system, not the local Bob Shaw who finds great combos. The Catty has been deemed unacceptable per NHRA due to it not being an American production, I will be contacting your research department in the near future for some "creative thinking".

Secondly, the so called importance of the Boise incident appears to be anti climatic as nothing has been done and seems to be dragging out it's play time. Same as all the other fiascos concerning the A thru C classes.

And lastly, though the "U" is on the end of the alphabet and at times on the totem pole of importance, it none the less has the unique distinction of being the most controversial class with the fastest under the index qualifers for the longest period of time. Examples are Shaw, Dennis, MacKay, Senia, etc. But most importantly, it is the only class in NHRA / IHRA that represents the USA

Mike Carr, I wish also that you lived closer. Come on down the weather is fine.

Doug Frazier and Jim Wahl, I was in need of either a 340 or 360 to put in my tow car to get the wagon there.

J Slane, I am looking foward to meeting you but the idea of you covering Gator Boy's back is absurd. Have you seen the size of that thing and all that growth on it.

Jack, do I go around and tell others about any little speed secrets that you tell me about. No. Then what gives you the right to let everybody know about the wrapping of headers with beer cans allowing a small amount of air into the inductions system creating a venturi effect due to different air pressures resulting in quicker times. Thanks alot. I will be more discreet in our future conversations. But the bright side of it all is that I have now discovered the 24 can case is a much better deal than the 12 pack repair kit.

And finally the individual that started this thing, The Blingmaster. No I do not have any meds, I do not need them, there are things on this planet that I have discovered that are truly enjoyable, beer comes to mind, and

and

and

and

and.

So I will see you all this week in sunny Lakeland (50% chance of rain) for a great time. Do not know if I'm ready for you Mr. Simpathy, as I do not know how fast you are. But we have not done anything to the wagon since Belle Rose which makes it unpredictable.

I believe that there will be about 4 or 5 U/SA's there with Daran trying out his new combo, which should be really fast, and Louie debuting his combo, and hopefully Sid Tolson with Daran's old Olds. Sound like alot of fun.

The throw down has been made by Blingmaster. The Cracked Granite wagon will be there.

U/SA you have to read between the lines

Re: Ron Ortiz
 

Ortiz, go back to your home planet Zorkon and bring Obama with you!

Re: Ron Ortiz
 

Billy What do you have against Zorkon? Mr. Ortiz it seems that gator boy is talking trash about a 2bbl 283 for U/SA....i TRIED TO INFORM HIM that what is the challenge of running a chevy combination that has been flogged for over 50 years...When I was a boy I drove chevy's too. But now that WE have grown up we feed on the challenges of brand X and Y. I was asked a question today Why would anyone want to drive a U/SA combo. Little do they know you can easily throw down 1/2 a six pack between high gear and the traps...How dumb can they be no A/SA car could do that. Plus we get to look at the ladies in the grandstands longer.Plus we usually have enough money after the races for Macdonlds.Plus no other class represents United States Of America any better......Do not be too concerned about Blingmaster new motor sounds like I could drive to Alaska and get 35 mpg getting there..It did drive into the trailer under it's own power .....Pup may not have his new ride ready he has done 4 motors 3 transmissions
in last week to get ready for lakeland....Never sell Daran short...

Re: Ron Ortiz
 

Billy, it is Gortzon, and I will buy you a drink, or Obama my own.
Wish you were here. You have'nt got any crankier than the last time I saw you.

U/SA time is space occupied
