    The 2015 Annual Buick versus Ford Shootout at Noble

    James: Glad to hear from you and that you guys are coming to the Shootout. I'll get you on the list. This site was pretty much abandoned after last years race and most have moved to FaceBook for their information. I'm not too shot in rear with that but technology is technology.

    The 2015 Annual Buick versus Ford Shootout at Noble

    I had one of those jump me in my C5 and he did out distance it. Hope I can find him again when I'm driving the GN. :)

    Cost of a "Good" Converter

    Glad you have someone that works with you. I've been fortunate to have several fellow Buick people work with me on mine. Heading to the track with it after Memorial Day weekend to see what it will do with the changes that have been done...

    Cost of a "Good" Converter

    My combo shares a number of add-ons that you have; 6265 turbo, Champion iron heads and some of the items you plan to have such as the 218/218 cam and the PTC NL convertor from Dusty. The cam works very well for me but I do have roller rockers and a stroker kit that is 250+ inches. The stock...

    After months of keeping my McNuggets warm....

    Great kill stories. Glad to see you are getting back into racing and that Mrs. Mean Chicken is happy. I've lived a long and happy life remembering that "When momma ain't happy, ain't noooooooooooby happy!!"...

    Noob here, what oil should I use?

    Nick: Same kind of rules apply to other places on these cars. Used RP in the differential and. after a few years, it began to morph into a peg leg so I ordered a new Eaton unit. I had told my mechanic he could have the old unit if he installed the new one. When he opened the box to install...

    Since these cars are pretty old, I'd recommend that you use Centrum Silver.:)

    This race has been talked about for nearly 3 years and it hasn't happened yet. I don't expect it will happen.

    The 2015 Annual Buick versus Ford Shootout at Noble

    Look under "Groups" on Face Book. Ford versus Buick is one and the Ford guys sponsor that thread. The change in focus for information about the race has changed. 2014 there were 377 posts and 20,991 views. 2013 there were 501 posts and 32,598 views. That's about a 40 drop in one year.

    The 2015 Annual Buick versus Ford Shootout at Noble

    We're going to have to work this a little differently this year. Not much activity on this thread. Still 7 months to go before race day and a lot of things can happen in that period of time. Super Dog will probably be there along with a 10 second GS car.

    The Chicken can take this Vette from a dead start or a 40 MPH roll.

    Raced 700 hp gt500 to 160mph lol

    Going that fast can be a real kick. Just have to make a test pass to see if the road has any bumps. Hitting a bump at 25-30 MPH that doesn't feel like much is a lot different bump when you hit it at 140-145 MPH on the return pass. That will get your attention.:oops:

    The 20th Buick versus Ford Shootout will be held at Noble on September 19, 2015. Rules are expected to stay the same and the facilities should be in even better shape than last years. We believe that our team is stronger when the racers commit to participate in the race so we will have a...
