Yesterday, TRP was a busy place. In typical TRP fashion, everything went slowly. I was there by 10am before time runs started. By 4pm, I had only made two passes, niether of which got me the 12 second pass I've been seeking (13.28 and 13.07, both traction issues). So I went into the gambler's race j...

The forecast looks good at 61 degree high with partly cloudy skies. Definitely looking like good conditions to go fast. I'll be meeting with Mustang Kevin for food before we go to the track. If anyone is interested in getting in on this, the race is the Rainbow Babies & Childrens charity race to...

I like the big block one. Looks like a pretty good deal too...

So I'm on the verge of 12's with the T/A. To ensure that will come next year either way, I'm starting a list of things I plan to do this winter. I toyed with the idea of finding a nicer version of a Firebird / Camaro to put my running gear into, but after some deliberation this weekend, I've decided...

I called the track as it was misting here in P'ville, and they said it was fine there. I drove out and sat in a heavy mist for over an hour and a half with no end in sight. They hadn't officially called the race but I left anyway. By the time I got home, it was fine. It appeared to be a lake effect ...

Caliper on, line lock on...going racing...

While trying to bleed the brakes tonight, I broke off a bleeder. If I can't find a caliper (which Autozone should stock), I may not make it out...

More to come...

I would almost trade my Trans Am for this...

My Grandfather had a Scamp, and I think I've only ever seen two others in my life.

I'm going to do my best to get into the 12's this Sunday. Who's in?

I finished reassembling the tool box tonight. I did find the before picture at work today. I'm really happy with the outcome. Looks like a new box, for under $60.

A couple inside shots with stuff in it...

I bought a small bottom tool box to go under my work bench in the garage. Sadly, I didn't take any before pictures (but I may be able to get the picture from work). The box was all greasy from being in a shop for years, but otherwise was in great condition. Yesterday I tore it all apart, degreased a...

32v and I took our chances and went to Canfield today in search of whatever we could find. As it was raining on Friday and Saturday, there weren't a ton of vendors. The ONLY thing besides a sandwich that we bought was a set of wheels for the S10 for winter time. I don't think we got a screaming deal...

Just about the final product here. The grass is now starting to grow (not shown), and my stuff is just about all moved in. I'll get a picture of it with cars in once they're all here. -BP http://www.postimage.org/gx1h_3yS.jpg http://www.postimage.org/gx1h_b2i.jpg http://www.postimage.org/gx1h_iwJ.jp...

Both GM Johnny and I went to the track tonight. I just typed four paragraphs about it and my computer decided to "update" and shut down and I lost it all, so here's the quick version. The Vette made five passes and the best was a 13.62 at 103. Pretty Sweet! The Trans AM got three passes an...
