Keith,
Not sure the new v8 turbo motor is going to be broken in by the Shootout. Still not running yet. Might be bringing my 91 SC back for a re-do because it had a pretty bad misfire last year.
David
That's OK....my car ran a nice number last November, drove into the trailer and hasn't run since. It's got a nice shiny sticker on the roll cage and some cool doors though...........
Gonna look fast if nothing else.
I thought you meant you were driving it to the shoot out... anybody driving to/from and racing this year besides me?
I have the coolest sounding white SC that runs faster than 12.0 but slower than 11.0.
Hold on just a minute cowboy, I never said I couldn't drive my SC to the Shootout, race and drive back, I just choose not too!
Besides I usually bring the drinks, buns, hamburgers, chips and flatware, so along with all the stuff for the car I have no room in my SC, so I would need a trailer anyway! LOL
See everyone there soon!
Drove my 91 SC to work today and the stupid WOT misfire I had last year is backOrdered a new set of plug wires, and if that doesn't fix it I may be forced to bring the turbo car.
David
I will always trailer anything I might even think about racing. Balls before brains is cool for some guys but I can't afford to miss work or piss my wife off because I had something to prove. I always carry tons of tools and extra stuff for the guys that don't and it has come in handy every year.I used to smack talk about driving and racing.
2013 - drove to the event - broke (everyone remember the long lunch break?) - fixed the car and drove home. Didn't compete.
2014 - drove as far as Ohio - broke and spent 2 days getting home. It was a really fun shootout for me.
This year have truck and trailer. If it breaks again I will have a way to get home. Plus I can bring more than you can stuff in an SC! Maybe even some Canadian beer for y'all.
Looking forward to seeing all you folks again.

That's great David now you will have a lightly used set of plug wires for the TBU Raffle!Good news, it's wasn't misfiring....I was just on the rev limiterStill going to try and get the turbo car together in time.

Good news, it's wasn't misfiring....I was just on the rev limiter![]()

I would say at least 50% of the people race the car they drove to the shootout.
I hope to race my bone stock 95, no truck.

I'll have the fastest N/A V8.
Well I am making time to go racing this week to see if I have what I need to do some smack talking.. I am hoping for something in the super fast speed. I should be able to get on the top ten list if everything goes well... Lets see where it lands....Rich
Not sure if I will stay there or move to someplace else... Got to see how this whole mess works out here.. I got three toys that I could bring if things work. Now I have to make up my mind as to which one would be the beast to bring... You know me, I never know what is coming or going to happen....lol.....RichRich,
Good luck, I saw you were registered in the Big Dog racing class at the Shootout.
