Post by: richie on October 05, 2009, 03:02:55 am Yep,only managed 1 pass in test n tune,torched a head,we were trying something different to improve things but got bitten by it,you dont get anywhere without trying new stuff,but sometimes the learning curve is steep :o.
In Pro mod Eric calabrese won against Pat mcdermot In super street Joe Masteas won against Larry kelley Super comp winner was Steve atkinson beating Muffler Mike sheldon Super gas Daniel Kurtzman beat John Shurger Powder puff Candy Larsen beat Susy Herbert, I dont know the winners in the other classes,but well done to all that one.

Title: Re: VEGAS BABY!>>>Posts. Post by: WCB Hitler's Hot Rod on October 06, 2009, 05:36:24 am Thanks Ritchie for all the updates. Sorry to hear about your race experience but I know you will come back EVEN stronger. That blue'58 turbo car looks like a twin turbo setup. Amazing work! Wonder if he ran it down the track?
Also like KWIK ET black car. Looks like it was a pretty good turnout. That burnt car is part of a new group called HELL RIDES! ;D a spin off from HOOD RIDES... Title: Re: VEGAS BABY!>>>Posts.

Post by: Zach Gomulka on October 09, 2009, 00:20:06 am This car was there last year, VERY cool with all the right parts. He drove it around all weekend, but he was having some problems on Sunday and I don't think he made a good pass
(http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=10343.0;attach=34893;image) Scott Moses offered me up a ride from the VW dealership to The Wagen in this beast, the passenger side seat tracks have begun to pull up from the pan, holding on was interesting to say the least!! :o Thanks for the ride!! (http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=10343.0;attach=34904;image) Other than that, scored a few bits in the swap on windy Sunday (that SUCKED), I won $90 in about 5 minutes Friday night (actually EARLY Saturday morning), and the three of us blazed through a handle of Jack and 48 beers, so the details are fuzzy! :D |
