MY500SS Posted November 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 RED LINE.....RED LINE. You guys are funny. She probably was reaching for another gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSX4350 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 What you're not seeing is that 60MPH is just the wheel speed, the car itself was only going 10 and the back half wasn't visible from the tire smoke... At least the car was pointed straight ahead, not sideways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY500SS Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Received word that we're still a couple of weeks out.

MY500SS Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Word from SA is that 7076 might be ready to pick up next week (I hope, I hope). I'll do the 11 hour turn around to Vegas and back with the trailer. We should just make it in time for Marji and I to leave for vacation next week. If all's good, I'll have her at the Bash.

Blown Away Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Great news Dan. :happy feet: :happy feet: Hopefully everything will meet your approval. The family and I will be there next week too, not till Thursday though. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSX4350 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Shoot, having her at the bash is the easy part, my bigger worry would be getting it inspected for the SB100 before Jan 1. Keeping my fingers crossed for ya. Mine is at the alignment shop, all that's left is a few minor details and trying to get a bit of seat time. Since it's in Oklahoma City that might be tough, it didn't break freezing yesterday and testing a roadster in that weather is not fun.

If she's finished Monday I'll have time to finish the SB100 inspections. Anything after Monday kills it for this year because Marji and I leave next week for Holiday and don't return until the 3rd. I hope you get some seat time, in decent weather, before the Bash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSX4350 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 If that happens (lets hope not) I'd just leave it in Vegas, pick it up at the bash and save the extra trip. You can play on the track without tags. Thanks Wick. We're hoping for the best but making arrangements if she's finished after Marji and leave for Hoilday. Thanks again brother.

You can play on the track without tags. That's our back up plan. Tom at Speedway Classic Cars would pick her up, do some adjustments to the tune and hold her until the Bash. Only thing is I'd like to inspect her myself before she leaves SA. Good thinking on not needing tags for the track.............I'll do that, thanks.

MY500SS Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 WOW DAN! : I will pack the bib and daiper then! Done deal. Bring some driving shoes if you got em. The foot box is kinda small and the pedals are close together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just measured my 289 street car and found I had right at 4 inches between the brake pedal and the center hump. Too wide a shoe and you can't press the loud pedal.

I'd like to see before and after pictures, and with a little photoshop magic you should be able to overlay them on top of each other. It will be interesting to see what the changed.
