So I'm set up to spank a certain Green Ghia that night (just waiting for the excuses to start :lol: ).
Are they going to allow staging for such matches that night or will the field be to busy being that it is a street legal night?

Geoff · « **Reply #1 on:** June 26, 2003, 05:39:15 PM »

We will be able to do some grudge matches that night..................Get ready to see my tail pipe James

James Buchan · « **Reply #2 on:** June 26, 2003, 06:38:21 PM »

I'll go up against you Geoff, should be fair my 1915 against your 2276 hmmm ya sounds like a close race.....not. Brian's been trash talking his ghia and Kev and I want to compare are relativly close displacements. I've got a few hundred pounds advantage over both so I'm pretty sure I'll do well.

red snapper · « **Reply #3 on:** June 27, 2003, 12:24:01 PM »

James, you better do a little practising before the big night. Are we racing for bragging rights or for anything else? If I lose fairly I guarantee you there wont be any excuses. Hey Geoff, This forum is awsome, So you know alot about our motors. In your proffesional opinion who do you think will win?

James Buchan · « **Reply #4 on:** June 27, 2003, 03:53:50 PM »

For geoff to be able to give his prediction he will have to know some info like weight, engine specs, tranny me being a better driver etc....
You want to post and we'll let everyone give there 2 cents and make it a little more interesting? Stroker vs non stroker? If you need a place to weigh your car either go to the scale on the #1 near 104th at night or I can take you out to the transfer station in aldergrove when a friend of mine is working (if your car can make it) are you still trailering it everywhere?

Geoff · « **Reply #5 on:** June 28, 2003, 08:01:44 AM »

I'll give you my guess but like James said i need a little more info.
Give me your specs and i'll atempt to guess.

bore stroke
cam
carbs
compresion
ring and pinion
gears? close, stock?
weight
tire size (rear)
Who ever pays me the most $ $$$$$ will win.
lol

Still waiting for Brian to speak up? He must be loading his car on the trailor so he can take it to the gas station

Speak up Brian.

James Buchan · « **Reply #8 on:** June 29, 2003, 09:57:55 PM »

He must be all talk... oh well, at least Kevin will go head to head with his t4 powered super b.

James Buchan · « **Reply #12 on:** July 01, 2003, 11:41:09 AM »

Well with your granny shifting and because you have a \"pretty\" car that you would hate to hurt I think you'll have a shitty 60ft time and I'll blow you away.

red snapper · « **Reply #13 on:** July 01, 2003, 12:10:18 PM »

Granny shifting?? This is what I built the car for. You better get some seat time in before the big night buddy. My 60 foot time may be slower but there is plenty of track left. Dont forget I have a few other luxuries to weigh me down, like an interior.

see ya.

James Buchan · « **Reply #14 on:** July 01, 2003, 12:50:32 PM »

Ahhh an interior, ya my wife has one too..... It's funny how women need things like that....

Billyisgr8 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 01, 2003, 12:52:30 PM »

I guess that means I am going to waste you guys then.

Kevin

James Buchan · « **Reply #16 on:** July 01, 2003, 01:50:25 PM »

Hmmm a super beetle huh, ya they can corner well but go fast....... I dunno.

red snapper · « **Reply #17 on:** July 01, 2003, 01:57:37 PM »

Wow! 14.57 in the quarter mile ?In a super beetle?

Is there a drag strip somewhere around here thats DOWNHILL ? Wheres Geoff? Doing squats in a cucumber field somewhere? I will talk to you guys soon. Brian

Geoff · « **Reply #18 on:** July 01, 2003, 06:03:03 PM »

Yes Brian, thats right i was in the cucumber field all day looking for a gift for your wife! DOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Anyway, Both your combo's have good points,James has a lighter car and smaller motor with stock trans, Brian, More power heavy car , Brians close 3rd may make the difference if his 4th is not too long.
My guess is you will both run a 15.? your first pass and then down in the 14's after that.
Who will be faster?

?? only time will tell and if you slip me a few bucks i'll pick you or him or whoever has the most cash;-)

Matt · « **Reply #19 on:** July 01, 2003, 08:11:39 PM »

Well, for what its worth......I dont think either one will be ready. Your both gonna be spectators like yours truly. Just a lot of trash talk and no real balls.
::insert 'stirring the pot' smilie here::

Matt

red snapper · « **Reply #20 on:** July 02, 2003, 07:28:08 AM »

Hey Matt, You do enjoy stirring the pot dont you? Anyway, my car is up and running just a few bugs to work out(no pun intended). I think ill just sit back and wait for James to put his motor in. Hopefully he'll realize that the motor goes in from the bottom. Later Brian

James Buchan · « **Reply #21 on:** July 02, 2003, 01:00:09 PM »

From the bottom huh, wow with that kind of insightful tip I had better watch out for your overweight sled hey.
The engine will be in this week, and the rest of the car will be ready by the end of the month. What will you charge me to recover my front seats? Make it cheap and I will save you some embaressment on the track...

red snapper · « **Reply #22 on:** July 02, 2003, 01:37:32 PM »

Hey James, come by the house sometime and we can go through my books and see what we can come up with. I might even have some leftover material from another job that we could use. Don't worry I'm fairly reasonable as to prices as long as your not too much of a rush. I might even show you my motor!!! Later Brian.

James Buchan · « **Reply #23 on:** July 02, 2003, 02:04:08 PM »

Sounds good brian, I'm not looking for anything flashy just want to get the springs covered. I'll check with the boss and give you a shout when I know my schedule (her schedule that is)

Geoff · « **Reply #24 on:** July 02, 2003, 03:37:37 PM »

Hey Brian, Is that left over material from when you did James heart shaped bed? Red crushed velour i belive wasn't it?

red snapper · « **Reply #25 on:** July 02, 2003, 03:45:29 PM »

That bed wasnt James, It was mine. How the F@#K did you know? Anyway,I want James as comfy as possible because he will be in his car the longest! Its a good idea to talk to your better looking half first. Trust me, if I had done that my car would have been done a long time ago. Oh well, I cant complain I still got to keep my car and my dog. Later, Brian

James Buchan · « **Reply #26 on:** July 02, 2003, 04:59:57 PM »

Nope no heart shaped beds for me.... gotta baby now...going to be a Loooooong time till I have fun again.

And Brian I want to watch so I know you arent adding lead or something to try and get an edge on me!!!

red snapper · « **Reply #27 on:** July 03, 2003, 08:42:06 AM »

Hey James, if you are worried about weight you could just use an old milk crate. :wacko:
