[Billy C]

Make sure you post it around other areas of this site and other sites you may attend . I will pass it on also ...

[mean68]

i talked to the guys from sweetwater that i know and they said it would be cool for the fastest cars to put some money in a pot and the fastest car for the night takes home the money. just an idea. i hope it goes well. they may bring up the white mustang, and also papageorge may come also. if we get the word out it should be interesting.

[Billy C]

I think the only way it will work best if it is grudge racing . And also Jim how late is Big Jim willing to keep everything up and running ? Call out now who you want to run and lets get it on !!!!!

[TYRONE]

when we say everyone we do mean everyone. run what you brung

[1bad71]

HOPE EVERY ONE COMES OUT THIS FRIDAY. I WILL BE ON THE HOSE THIS FRIDAY LETS GET IT ON:drunk:

[BADBU]

as long as there are cars ready to race and not hot lapping the same stock car round after round. He will be open. The car count and crowd will dictate the hours.

[sprchrgd]

Any rules except for tags and insurance?

[BADBU]

street type cars. IE: Mufflers, body cars,

[1badmofo]

what do you mean. your always on the hose....... his hose hahahaha

[blk91coupe]

I had fun last night and I dont even have a car. It was fun though to see alot of cars out. Kinda gives me the bug again. Cant wait till Friday.

[Blue_gt]

I am just glad we can finnaly do it this way no cops to worry about no rushing to get a race off beacouse of traffic.I will be there.

[Buick C Type]

Looking forward to getting back to I 40 next weekend. Afraid I don't have much to offer those bad ass cars with Nitrous, turbo's, and superchargers, but look forward to getting my turd brown Caddy powered Buick Regal back to the track. I just hope there are some slower cars there that I might get to run with. I think it might be fun to get to run the T-Bird with the BBF swap if he comes up. We might be a close match. My motor is pretty much a stock Cadillac 500 in a G body Buick. Best time this year was an 8.7xx @ 83mph. I'll have to trailer it up there from Harriman since I put a 4:10 in the factory 7.5 10 bolt. I hope I 40 will stay open a bit longer this year and now the air is much cooler.

Jim, you might remember me. I used to drive the rag top Cadillac with the Northstar a year or so ago. Look forward to comming back over the big hill.

[BADBU]

of course get a north star in that regal.... Good to see you on the web, and look forward to seeing you at the track.

[sprchrgd]

Hey buick c type, A few years ago I put a 472 in a 83 monte carlo and ran 9.26 on street tires. Right now I'm putting a 7.0 litre in a 84 SS monte with maybe a little shot of spray.

[Buick C Type]

sprchrgd,

I may have talked with you a couple of years ago at crossville. I think I may have even run you in the Monte with my Cadillac Allante. I will try to attach a picture of the Allante at Crossville. If your building a 425, you might want to PM me for some Caddy tips and an awesome builder in Soddy.

Jim, A Northstar swap into the Regal might be more of a bitch than the 500 swap was. I am also doing a 500 swap into a 1976 El Camino. This winter I hope to build a 500 that might get into the low 7's. Forged rods & pistons, bulldog intake, ported & polished iron heads that will flow like aluminum heads, and a few other littler tricks.

Look forward to seeing y'all at the track friday.

[sprchrgd]

Yes I remember the Allante. I know about Potter. Also check out 500cid.com and cad500parts.com.

[mean68]

71 i would like to race you. and josh i would like to race you. hell i don't care to get beat twice!:D i like the idea of run what u brung! hope to see some 6s with the tires in the air!!!

[mean68]

nice photo. bet the swinger in the far lane won the race though!

[Buick C Type]

Yeah, the Dodge waxed my ass pretty good as do most cars I lined up against at the track. Did surprise lots of folks with the Caddy though. Best run ever with it was a 9.2xx @ 78 mph. Beat several older 5.0 mustangs and some older Z28's. Lots of ricers hated getting beat by Gramps Caddy.

[TYRONE]

If thats what you would like then wish granted. on the hose though. I hate going slow.

[TonyBolton]

Hope somone brings a video camera for this, should be some awesome footage to grab!

[1bad71]

I will run you no problem mean68 :drunk:

[mean68]

sounds good. me and the chevelle probably won't be a good race when u spray it but who knows. trans is going in in a little bit so i should definitely be there.

[MeanGreen]

my car is like stock. i think me and the blk caddy would be a good race i think. my car has went 8.49 at 83.so bring some stock cars when you come so we can have fun. see yall friday night.

[BADBU]

David you can race my green ford against your green ford if you give me 10 lengths and the hit. The one I drove to the exhaust shop today. lol. You will still beat me, but I will race you.:)

[BADBU]

Tick tock tick tock, friday is coming soon! Is everyone ready?
I heard a lot of wrenching is going on around town. Hope everyone makes it.

[Blue_gt]

I sure hope everyone is ready it should be alot of fun i hope.

[MeanGreen]

i dont know you mite walk the dog on me but who knows it mite be a good race ha ha ha.

[BADBU]

If everyone shows thats says they are coming, it will be lined up out the gate.

[MeanGreen]

[Blue_gt]

[BADBU]

Just to give you guys the scoop on how Real Street Drags are run in Wisconsin. The owner of the track is still able to distribute time slips, they rip them in half, so only YOU get to know what time you run, the win light still works, but your ET is not shown on the time board.

So when you make time runs, you still get to see how your car is running.

After a certain time usually 2-3 hours before close, there are no more time slips and the money racing begins. Win light still shows who won the race.

If you want to race off a flag or a flash light, both cars still set the beams, the tree goes off, but the race is started on a flag or light. This way the win lights still show who won the race, no discrepancies about who crossed the finish line first. Just thought you might need the info.

FYI, the last Real Street drag at Union Grove pulled in 550 cars!

And I would prefer this to just shutting off the tree. This way, you still get to see what kind of pass that you make, and MORE IMPORTANTLY, you KNOW who wins. Even if you set someone out a few car-lengths, someone can stage the "other" lane with their feet to activate that lane and give a win light IF he indeed wins.

Something to think about!!!!

IF it's done this way, the person handing out the time-slips needs to cut off the other person's run, AND the margin of victory (so that one person can't "figure out" what the other person ran).

[fastasyellow]

blue gt what does your car run on and off the bottle? just curious.

[Blue_gt]

My car runs ok for a stock car but its not the fastest it is still on stock heads and stock intake.Mabey i can up grade sometime.
