Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing

David,

Maybe if everyone knew how many motors you had to rebuild or replace since you built the car as well as transmissions, coil packs, fuel injection issues, etc they would have a different opinion. Maybe not, but what is the difference between your car and a fast older Camaro, Chevelle or Mustang? They all take a lot of money, sweat and hard work to make them run fast. To the guys that think the DP's are bogus, not real and way too soft on the hp I can say most of that is B.S. I built my Drag Pak myself (other than the chassis and transmission) and I have worked all year on the car trying to be competitive. My car ran 10.55 first time out, and it took 3 races to get into the 10.40's so they are not automatically fast or way too soft. They take work and the right combination. I finally ran a 10.06 before the last hit on the 6.1's so I'm still not close to the fastest Drag Paks but I'll keep working and figure it out. David did most of the work on his car also and it wasn't the fastest car right out of the box but he has it working now and how can you knock a guy for that? He didn't "write a check" and have someone else do the work, he did it like most other guys who run stock. Enough with the bashing already, we are all racers and car guys!

Thanks for the advise,but I do not deal with negative people.

Absolutely, living in southern GA I especially like the pics of snow! Sorry you guys withdrew from Pomona but certainly understood, hard to be away from home so long for sure.

It is Santangelo vs. Hidalgo in the Final.

By my math, Hidalgo has been eliminated from World. If Santangelo wins, he will pass Lang by two points.

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing

I know we are late to the game on the posts on Jeff and his P/SA Mustang.

We have been pretty busy at Vegas fixing our stuff and sorting out new cars!

I do not know how many people are aware that Jeff has been only racing

stock for a couple of years. We have a car that can run the same class and

could contend for that record so we have no reason to go easy on him.

That being said....... I would bet the Family Jewels (Such as still remain)

That there absolutely was NO INTENT for Jeff to deliberately cheat. We

Know the man and believe in his character. He is pretty new to stock and

working very hard to compete and made a" Newbie mistake" by not

measuring the throttle body. My boy helped him tear it down and confirmed

that the body was OEM and NOT modified in any way from stock. Of course

it should get him bounced still, but he will get it right next time and learned a

from the experience. Jeff is a smart guy and will learn from his experience

some more about stock eliminator. I am happy that we have at least a few

new racers in stock to enrich the Gene Pool.

We own about 20 Race Thermoquads and I am guilty of not measuring a lot

of them if they visually are unmodified and throttle blades are stock size. The

only time they are measured is in teardown when Bruce or another tech

measures at it.

So it could have been me that got bounced and I should know better as I

have been doing this a darn long time........I will spend some time in the

off season measuring all of mine.

DON'T LET THE CRITICS GET YOU DOWN....YOU ARE REALLY DOING

WELL WITH YOUR CAR!!!

Re: "Live" from our Southwestern Swing

Well we are sitting at a rest area in Texas where we stopped to avoid running into tornados and hail. As we left Amarillo, there was hail and rain and we turned the weather radio on and found out that the Walmart that we had planned on staying at tonight in Elk City, OK had been hit with 90 mph winds and hail and there are tornado warnings all around. So we stopped at a rest area and Larry went in and found out that they have 2 tornado shelters in there. So I guess I will sleep with my clothes on tonight, just in case. Keith and Tonya Lynch and Paul Dilcher are behind us in about Amarillo. Hopefully they are stopping for the night there.

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 12:21 PM.
