I've been trying to get in touch with Robin. Anyone know the phone number to the nursing home?

I don’t know who to cheer for but dislike the the brands on an equal basis. They are just two corporate carpetbaggers, I mean Sandbaggers. A new 632 rated at 267 Hp is just a touch light.

Larry, you need a Neon so that WE can trash-talk like this! Might have to remove the front seat. Is that legal in Stock?

Billy, does it have to be a Neon, and can we find a sea level track?

I hope that you aren't using the term "sandbaggers" in a negative way. LOL

I studied the specs in the guide for a couple of years before settling on a "Soft" combination.

They are out there, The new cars haven't been killed like every Camaro that people want to run.

Only a few willing to run the 4 valve Ford, and even less that put a stick shift behind it. Call me crazy, oh wait. Call me a sandbagger.

It's like the Blinder discussion that never dies, read the rules, understand the limits and build/race to the parameters that are in place.

Have a great day!

Robin

Billy I think seat removal is ok on a 2019 Challenger if equipped with the seat delete package. The Neon I don’t know.

Robin your a brave man, because you are one chain link away from a disaster. Your engine has enough bicycle chain to stretch from my house to your house.

Good luck to both we are looking forward to the show. Is it true that the looser will have the White House Press Secretary answer the questions on why they lost?

Dammit Larry, you had to bring up my timing chains. They seem to have more issues with the shorter secondary chains (ask Bob Tilton)

It makes sense to toss new chains on these things annually just to be safe. Last I looked they were on back order.

When Daren got off the boat he called and asked if i was going to make serious changes. I told him nah, maybe some new spark plugs.......

Perhaps questions will be referred to the counsel’s office, or bubski…

Wow almost a year since I was able to squeak by the 302 of DPA Racing. Heading down the St Louis in the morning to race Super Stock at the NMCA race. Wonder where that COPO is hiding........

Really GUMP was a great sport and gave me a scare for a moment. Driver had to stay focused.

We sorted the car out and ran some 9.70's in Stock trim and a couple of high 9.50's 40 pounds lighter and with a clutchless trans in good air and Super Stock legal.

We need to do more of these match races.

Thanks all!


Robin
