Dude. :shock:

:rofl: nice one jim

even though summer wont yield the best ETs, im shooting bolt on LS1 times in my turd gen :)

Not to break too much stuff.

Just keep on driving both cars like I did in the fall, winter and spring. I have a project with 8 years of down time so the 2000 and the 1970 need to stay in driving condition. I might look into a trans swap for the 70 if I keep the car. I'm getting a little tired of the trans leak.

Gotta divide the time between the T/A (Complete frame off), my 84 K5 Blazer (Rebuild) and wheeling my Jeep. Oh, and Saturday nights WILL be spent at The Chatterbox gawking at all the sweet rides. Didn't get there nearly enough last year.

Get rid of the pile of parts sitting on the shelf in my garage, which will include:

1. - Rebuilding the front suspension, including adding disks, and installing s/s brake lines front and rear;

2. - Swaping out the single-plane intake and lumpy cam for the stock '67 Vette intake and a milder cam. I also want to swap out for a short water pump, and add all the original brackets and pulleys to make it look like a stock 67 under the hood. Right now, the alternator is on the wrong side. BTW, if anyone has pre-1968 stock sbc brackets or pulleys, PM me.

3. - Patching the trunk floor, hopefully without messing up the paint job too much. While I'm back there, I'll probably strip the undercoating off the rear wheel wells (not looking forward to that one).

A day like this makes me can't wait for the summer even more. Just being able to cruise with windows down and listening to nothing else than my car rumble down the road as people turn their heads and stare. Me and my friend are supposed to duke it out at Island Dragway this summer, my '83 Z-28 against his '71 Chevelle, thats going to be a good race. I've got a 355 Stroker with about 450 horse to the wheels and his '71 Chevelle was an original 6 cylinder, but he put in a 350 and now the car roars, both are automatic, but his is on the column while mine is a B & M Ratchet Shifter, he has about 400 horse to the wheels in his car, but I think I should be able to take him, we've attempted it a few times while we cruise and I usually pull ahead of him, but then we both have to slow down before we get too carried away. Summer here we come. Later, Jeff.

No plans for the cars yet. Currently focusing all my attention on getting my business up and running well, so that I can have money for the cars. I'll be going to all the carlisles this year, as well as trying to hit up local spots. I'll be working at Island full time, and really not sure how much racing i'll be doing this year since we haven't touched the race car since we put it away. It could use new rods and pistons, but unfortunately, money is tight and with my track record, its probably not a good idea to run. I don't want to destroy another motor

Im going to try and get the car back together, finish the rear interior work, swap in a frod 9", maybe Lt's and a 4 or 4.5" exhaust, rearrange all the crapola in the garage so i can actually get the car out, and maybe, if im lucky, put some miles on it this year.
Maybe even splurge on a really good tune and have it dynoed.

When does Island open up again for the season? I'm looking forward to it so I can bring my Z-28 up there and make a few passes. ATCO I think opens in a few weeks, but I don't feel like driving all the way down there, and I would go to RaceWay Park, but I don't feel like getting kicked out after one pass, Island Dragway is just the place to go. Thanks, Jeff.

Next weekend :D March 1st, providing we're not snowed in. All Saturdays and Sundays in March will be Test and Tunes

Thanks for your help, I'll probably make it up there in Mid-Spring, I want to put my 15x10 Pro-Stars back on before I go up there, took them off for the winter. When do you work there? Maybe I'll catch ya up there when I go. Thanks again, Jeff.

when don't i work there? :lol: I'm there 7 days, and will continue to be except for the weekends there's a show at carlisle, because I'll be out there. Providing I'm there, chances are there will be at least two njfboa members for you to meet there :)

Thats cool, how much is it to get in on the weekend for the test and tune? Hopefully I'll see you and a few other people from the board up there when I go. Thanks, Jeff.

Test and tune prices will stay the same at $30 to race. As long as its not a carlisle weekend, me and SteveR will be there working, and usually theres a good chance others will show up to race.

Thanks again for everything, hopefully I'll see you guys up there, maybe me and you could run our cars, ha ha, can't wait for the summer. Thanks, Jeff.

Single digits...

those are fun ;)

i've never been to island before. i'll be going for sure this year. pretty damn far from me but it'll be cool to try a new track out and meet some of you guys/gals

Its one of the best tracks I've ever been to. Later, Jeff

Ha I have to get to island once all the snow and salt clears, because I have an explorer to beat :nod:

Its really not that far from our Area. I'm in the Paterson area, along with a few other people here and we tend to go to Island a lot. I'm sure we will post up more this spring in the North section for caravans.

speaking of Island.. Wed BBQs return this year :w00t: twice a month now :D

I'll be there.
