Deeee-lish-US Steak, 'tater, salad, and a piece of cheese cake.

Time spent with my wife.....even better.

Now home with dawgs.

They'll go outside in a few and then the birds get their attention. Rini, the solid yellow Indian Ringneck is showing off for us and the dogs. He's the class clown

 

Grandparents house in va had a nice ceiling also
Not common down here

 

evening all

 

Headed there tomorrow morning!

 

Looks like he’s running the numbers and saying to himself, “Am I fast enough to get away with it?”

 

Ikr
He got his own later

 

Got a guy in his early 70's that lives near me.
He built a nice AC Cobra years ago.
He never drives it.
There it sits in the garage, door open and the guy fluffing and buffing.
Once in a while I hear him start it and load it on an enclosed trailer to take to a show someplace.

What a waste.

Drive it. Get rock chips and bugs in the paint.
Jump on it. Light em up. The guy's in his 70's. WTF.

 

Banged my old ‘67 into 1st gear one night. Blew the doors off dude talking shit. Never let off until my driveway. Started it Saturday am and shut it down. Ended up cracking my transmission down to the front pump. Starter was just hanging. Got another transmission,gutted mine,new torque converter,road test,back to work Monday!

 

True...plus the flooding and major traffic jams because Los Angeles has no clue what to do when it rains.

 

Hi Sue
Did you get your goat so you can do headstands?

Yuep

 

Just now getting back home from the car show , had a lot of fun and there was a lot of cars there !!!!

Talked to the owner of this Nova and he will be on next season of Street Outlaws !!

 

nope

any word on the construction? since the last hiccup?

 

Can't get hold of the architect

But they cleaned up, waterproofed the back of the wall and poured some cement.
Probably 2 weeks before the slab is poured.

 

I've been banned from the track until I can do safety improvements as per NHRA Tech

No Driveshaft loop

No long wheel studs and open face lug nuts

No safety bell housing or safety shield on transmission

No SFI Flex plate

No SFI Dampener

Batt disconnect wired wrong per NHRA

5 Point safety harness expired ,need new belts

Need new helmet as my SFI 2005 Helmet is out of certification and a 2015 rated helmet


This is why I stopped racing because NHRA or the Not Happy Racers Assoc want you to spend money every 2 yrs on safety items

At least I'm enjoying driving it to car shows ,once I can afford all these safety upgrades then I'll go back to the track . last time I tried to pass tech all the officials said I could do was run to the 60' and get out of the throttle


Im looking at a minimum of $2k to get the Camaro NHRA Certified and a couple hundred $$$ every 2-5 yrs to replace SFI certified parts

Just don't have the $$$$ funds right now !!!

 

I remember the stories about Rubicon Jeep Guy.

 

The day has arrived! Headed south of the border! Later! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlFXhigvTvM

Happy Friday! Long weekend too...
