Irwindale raceway results

[JOHNDEEREGN]

But let me hi-jack this thread just long enough to talk about some real early day street storming Mopars and an early Mopar guy. In about late '60's early '70's I found myself living in BFE Wyoming & in a 6K population rural town the street scene was where it was at. I bought a '67 GTO from a local kid in town. Blew the motor 1 day going to work which was a 2.5 hr drive. parked it on the side of the highway. It got stolen. I needed another street car. I flew to Denver & bought the most beautiful car that I have ever owned. A '69 Plymouth GTX, hdtp, 440, 727, console, posi rear, full power, white on white, 31K miles, highback white front seats out of a wrecked '71 Challenger. I later traded it for a '70 Dodge Challenger TA, 340 six-pak, 25K miles. Fastest small block I've ever been in. Sold it & moved back to L.A. & came across a '68 Hemi GTX. Later sold it& bought a '71 Boss 351 Stang. I'm actually a Ex Mopar lover in disguise.

We all have our issues Gary its ok

Hey, goatman,
Claims are ALWAYS backed up w/ proof. Just like claiming you dated Marilyn Monroe. No pics, it didn't happen! A video, pics of time slips, w/ VERIFICATION that you didn't use someone else's slip, mandatory.

The "minions" are thinking he left early, not because of a "senior moment", but the thot that there just might be a goat grazing in the shutdown area....

Speaking of goatman.........

I've heard there is a movement out there involving Lou.......

That Corvette while pretty powerful was never intended to be drag raced but I wasn’t going to back down either . This hellcat would give the coop a run for it’s money that I guarantee you

The Hellcat I killed 3 times (twice form a dig and once from a roll) on Antonio one night, thought it was gonna give the coup a run for it's money too....
It looked cute in my rear view mirror... ;-)

 

[meanchicken]

Now, I'm thinking that we need a Gary Wells / Turbo T Guy grudge race.

Also, I have driven both Lou's Hellcat and Gary's Hennessey Cad V at full throttle. My guess would be that they'd be with in a tenth of each other.
Using the Wallace Racing conversion calculator, Lou's 7.10 run against me would pan out to a 11.18 in the quarter mile. http://www.wallaceracing.com/8th-quarter-conversion.php I suspect that it would actually do a bit better, as it's a heavy car and should pull hard on the top end.

I did 11.14 in the video in my sig.
That was on my old motor before snapping the crank and about 100HP short of the stroker in it now.
I win the bench race!
Woohoo!!!!
Still registering kills!!!!

Turbolou: Did you sell Mike a wristwatch or timepiece, or something like that?
He mentioned something today about cleaning your clock?

Gary don't believe spoolfools bullshit , He was sucking my exaust while admireing my tail lights

Unfortunately, I didn't get long very long to check out the tail lights, as I blew past them rather quickly.

More fake news, I was ahead of your antique all the way you had to be blind not to have appreciated my tail lights

 

[JOHNDEEREGN]

Ok, Ok, enough is enough. As Grumpy would say from the good old T6P days, now your like 2 dogs barking at each other with a fence between you, but when somebody opens the gate the barking stops and your best friends! ( Except Lou , where would we find a bald dog .)

Much like Big Chief would do, I am calling for a rematch and a NEW thread posted so we can talk smack and bench race ALL winter in anticipation of the Sheep / Spool Showdown 2018!

 

[SPOOLFOOL2]

That's an outstanding plan Ty.
Unfortunately, this track is closing for good this month and they will not let me back in as I ran too fast (6 second car).
Fortunately for Lou, he ONLY has a 7 second car and is still allowed to run there until they close.

In short, I accept this re-challenge, but we'll need to find another track.

Please have Lou fully explain the rules to which we will be sticking to.

Who needs a track?

 

[SPOOLFOOL2]

Who needs a track?

These two cars are very closely matched. If one person decided to cheat a little, a time slip would would rat him out (again) in a heart beat.

I've always been under the impression that if you red light you lose anyway. Is there some kind of senior citizen reaction time offset I don't know about? I need to know these things since my AARP card will be on its way soon.

OK fool if you would of dialed in 6.95 & me at 7.10 I still would of smoked your ass. I red lighted on purpose to make things more fair. Your car isn't that much faster to be talking shit. In fact I would be embarrassed you out weigh me by a 1000 pounds & have a fully modded race car mine is stock. You can take this to the hellcat forum & hassle them you won't get away with it with me. If fact if Irwindale was not closing I would show you some shit . All i need is to raise the boost in my car from 10 to 14 # & do a tune you would be as you say lunch.

 

[SPOOLFOOL2]

I payed $9300.00 for my thirty year old black brick. How much did you pay for all that new cutting edge technology?

Here's the rematch place. http://www.baronadrags.com/

We'll give it a few weeks. That'll give you time to go order some pulleys, driveshaft, NOS bottle and a rule book.

 

[Gary Wells]

Where in the hell is the "Smaller upper pulley", "bigger lower pulley" & "secret tune" Lou?
Lou, you don't need to do all that. Just wanna remember to release your "E" brake.
Just kidding, Lou, but I think that Mike will have you covered like a cheap Italian suit.

Neal, you own a hellcat & should be defending me against these lower life forms & their oil leaking museum relics.

 

[JOHNDEEREGN]

oil leaking museum relics.

Are we talking about Lou or the Buicks?

 

[SPOOLFOOL2]

Neal, you own a hellcat & should be defending me against these lower life forms & their oil leaking museum relics.

Neal understands.

In many parts of the World cat is a delicacy. It wasn't until Dodge opened up this buffet for muscle cars to feast on in the Western World, did we hear about it here.


WARNING: May be too disturbing for Hellcat owners.

 

[Gary Wells]

Are we talking about Lou or the Buicks?

Oh, really? Lou marks his spot now, too?

 

[Gary Wells]

OK, what happened to the Lou & Mike rematch? Lou's probably poring over the "Honest Charley's" or J. C. Whitney's Speed Catalogue for racing parts.
