Probably not.  Remember when your mom said, \"its always fun until someone looses an eye\"?  No more slicks for me until I get Bus CVs on it.

you have to give props to bruce.  he has been the ONLY dedicated guy this year so far.  we even fixed his CV there at the races, and he went for another run.  99.9% of people would have just towed their car home, or they wouldn't have had the tools and parts to fix it.

80,000 + miles on a 2110 that has been beat to hell on (without being torn apart) is really good.

now show me this in another car, and I'll be impressed.

Well I do have this enclosed trailer that I must use...... So I guess the Myth will be riding out there in style..... Dont hate the player hate the game....
Rat Rod is come out on a trailer as well.....I beleive Geoff is towing aswell.. and so is the Ghia.
So i guess you can grasp at these straws....

What I have found is there are very few cars built locally built just for true driving. I give major props and have major respect for bruce whose bug is a true driver.

Stephan=(you have to give props to bruce. he has been the ONLY dedicated guy this year so far. we even fixed his CV there at the races, and he went for another run. 99.9% of people would have just towed their car home, or they wouldn't have had the tools and parts to fix it. )

Stephan, When you say Bruce has been the only dedicated person this year????? You couldnt be farther from the truth. Do you really think that everyone else really wants to work friday eavnings late? If you ask anyone i bet they would rather have a shitty night at the track with a broken CV joint than be working to pay bills and keep a roof over their heads.

I know that everyone has been working hard to get their cars ready for this summer. James has a little daughter and a wife to take care of besides building his car, Brian has the same deal plus he had to rebuild his motor, I had to build a new trans and freshen up the motor ( I could have been at every race with my 59 running 14's but that just aint fun anymore)
Hoosierdaddy is one of the most dedicated people on here, sure the car hasn't been to the track but try and build a car top to bottom in under a year working a job,two kids and a wife!!!! That is dedication.

Nothing against Bruce as I know he is just riding people to help get them out there BUT he has much more time than most of us.
Fixing a CV joint is a no brainer, he has a spare because he keeps breaking them. BRUCE SWAP THE DAMN THINGS TO T2!!!!!!!!!!!  (he told me to run them 9 years ago and he has yet to put them in.....I'll help put the things in there!

Anyway, Life takes presidence over a night at the track. Sorry but it's true. If the rain clears i'm sure we will have a good showing and lots of fun.
See everyone there.

Well said Geoff, but whats wrong with 14s as long as your havin fun. :wub:  
Title: Friday Drags
Post by: Geoff on May 21, 2004, 11:40:00 AM
You got it Brian, It's all about having fun.
My 59 is fun on the street but with the small motor it's just not the same \"fun\" as the 56 :D

I sure hope this rain stops soon, it's not looking good so far. ]:(

Well, I plan on leaving the 14 second club tonight. I was just thinking of James. ;        Rain,  rain stay the Fuck away!

Post by: Hansk on May 21, 2004, 01:00:46 PM
Well I'm getting the permit anyway. hope it's not waisted.  If it does rain(WHICH IT'S NOT GOING TO) anyone into meeting some where to warm up, dry off etc.

Post by: red snapper on May 21, 2004, 01:23:32 PM
Sounds good Hans. Do you have any ideas? Is there a rest stop down the highway somewhere. I will only be at work for another half hour. If there are plans made please keep me informed somehow. Thanx Brian.

I just meant about coming out to the races....so yah.  I'm usually busy all the time too..working hard at other things.  so I understand where everyone else is coming from.

I just don't like to hear all the banter against a car that has proven itself at the track and has been reliable for MANY years.  sorta cool to drive a cal-looker 24/7 all year.  snow sleet, rain or shine.
