Well, October came and went (almost) without getting to the dragstrip, but still managed to drive it even more. I love it. But, on Saturday I embarked on a most noble journey to Parsons Hi-Performance in Dayton, OH after a couple phone calls with Bruce Parsons. This is the guy that put Tony's 383 to...

SHOTS FIRED!!

I think he may live on 608, south of 322, on east side. Pretty sure I've seen it parked over there a few times. Very cool! Imagine leaving your hot rod running while you're shopping!!

-Dave

Was Fred not there when you and Kurt had the saturn and impala at TRP a few years back?

-Dave

With the weather looking pretty grim, both Paul and I decided to head out to TRP tonight for the final Wednesday of the season. We left the hotrods at home and instead took the turbo dailies, his VW and my F-150. You couldn't have two more dissimilar vehicles. Euro-econo-hot-hatch vs. King of the Pi...

If they had just plumbed a normal heater core and left it laying the water, it wouldn't have been dirty, and still heated the water.

I guess I never updated.. Dyno day came and went. 316rwhp @ 5500, 322rwtq @ 4800. BP came out to watch and took this video of one of the pulls. They said there really wasn't much to be had, as I was already hitting the timing and AFR that they would've been targeting. The major gain actually, was in...

A fun night was had by all.. I left the house right at 5pm to head out and I still ended up sitting in line out on Sidley road for 15 mins waiting to get in. There was a ton of cars and spectators.. most ive seen on a Wednesday night in a long time. I went 12.59 & 12.54 @ 106 in time runs. I'm h...

Thats such a cool video -- love seeing the fuel just pour out of those injectors at WOT. Same guy did one with a GoPro installed inside a tire.

-Dave

Slicks mounted, backup starter wire re-installed, let's race!

I'm planning on heading out tonight in the Chevelle.
