Good Weekend
 

I had a good weekend & didn't leave home. I had a bunch of my customers out racing at various track's this past weekend. One of the better performances, for me, was at the NHRA Division 6 point's race in Mision B.C. where one of my main Competition Eliminator customers Qualifier #1. Comp. is know as a H.P. class, need it to be successful, so for him to do well looks good on myself. It's nice when a customer can take your work & run with it. He runs a 2004 Cavalier in C/SMA. Minimum weight going down the track is 2865 LBS., he runs a 355 cube Small Block with only one (1) 850 carb (all your allowed) & no power adders (naturally asperated). Best run was 8.12 E.T. @ 164 MPH. Best part is there is a better bullet in the trailer i just finished a couple weeks ago, well over 900+ H.P., can't wait to see that :razz:. Next race for him is June 12-14 in Spokane.

That sounds killer. What class will your ZR-1 run in? ;)

I am, actually, Thanks Tom. Lot's of work though, they really eat the hours :redface:. The NHRA national record is 8.11 E.T. & they ran 8.12 E.T. first time out so it definatly turned some heads. I told them if they put the 'Good Bullet' in & catch some good air right now or in the Fall, they could be the first C/SMA car in the 7's! That would be wicked :razz:.

Won't be the fastest oil change class :mrgreen:. (Inside joke)

Re: Good Weekend
 

Holy smokes Ryan! Those are some kind of nasty bullets you built for those guys! To run 0.01 off a class record the first time out is the nuts! Yea, I'll bet some heads got whiplash they swiveled 'round so fast!

Damn man, you should be proud! That is some kind of HP/cu.in.:thumbsup:

Okay I repeat myself, but I'm senile....I think? :mrgreen:

Re: Good Weekend
 

That's O.K., i never get tired of hearing it :). Obviously this isn't the best place place to be talking about this stuff, just thought i'd share it with you guys, but it made lots of noise in the NHRA Comp. Elim. world.

Re: Good Weekend
 

Hey Ryan, thanks for sharing these tid bits with us!:handshak:


:) I thought that this section was Professional Motor Sports....I dare say that you qualify to be sharing the results of your creativity with us here. I would like to hear how your guys make out as the season unfolds.

:thumbsup:

Re: Good Weekend
 

Well I wasn't really sure about putting it here but...even though they are classed as 'Sportsman', everybody in that world sort of considers themselves 'Pro' racers that don't get paid very good, :cool:, LOL.

Re: Good Weekend
 

Okay, I see your point Ryan. But the small operation deserve the kudos when they earn them, as is the case here...I may have to start paying more attention to drag racing. I used to really like watching the old super stock class and the modified production class and the gas class and those crazy guys that drove the fuel altereds .......yea that's how long it's been since I've been to a drag race meet....:sign10:
