Hey Paul I noticed during the run I made with you that one of your tailights is dim and your car leans a bit from behind? LOL.
Your times were great. See you next time!!!

Schweeet Paul. Glad to hear about the new best. Any pics or video?

One of my friends took video...I'll see if I can get a copy and post it.

Riiiiiiight Paul, 11.50 and you will never want more....
I remember when I said the same thing...

Nice job on the runs though, 60' times are looking real good.

Thanks! I'm kind of limited with my motor...really with the out of the box eddy heads, they don't flow a whole lot so I need everything I can get out of the hole cause I don't get the top end power. It's been fun messing with it to get it to run the way I want at the track and on the street.

Oh...and I just don't want to put a cage in the camaro, it's my fun car and if I did that the girls (wife and three daughters) wouldn't really be able to go with me to do car stuff. We just went to a cruise with it last night...it was fun!

[Lonnie67]

Yeah, there is NO WAY that you'll run quicker than 11.65 with those heads.

[paulm]

It should be fun next time we go together...my car's a little heavier but I'm closing in on ya!

[paulm]

Here is the 11.69 pass...

Nice pass! I love the fact you line up next to a car with a scoop and all the race looking parts and your car looks like a cruise-in show queen, and you spank him.. I love doing that, it almost makes me want to keep my ralleys.
I like the commentary at the end, "oh my gosh, Paul beat him!"

[paulm]

LOL! That car next to me is my friend John's. A stripped out six cylinder car with a cage, one seat, dry rotted slicks south side bars and powered by a little 350 (tow vehicle is a ratty 68 chevy pickup...I call him sanford & son racing, LOL). He loves to brag that he's only got 3k into that thing...it sat in his yard forever until I bugged him long enough to put it together and get it to the track. I don't know where he got that hood but it's not like he needs it, LOL! He did run 11.99@111 that night...he's got a 427 BBC with rect heads ready to put in it. Since the car weights pretty much nothing he'll probably go faster than me with the BB.

LOL, "cruise-in-show-queen"...my car looks great from 50 feet but up close it ain't no "queen", LOL! Lots of dings and chips!


Blah, blah, blah...I love "race night"!

[paulm]

This week at the track was just like last week at the track...except that I did spin a tiny bit this week.

P.S. Technically last week was 1.567-11.694@112.95 and this week was 1.573-11.692@113.38.

You should be proud! You are really wringing that combo out with relatively mild components. There are plenty of jealous guys (more than likely including me) with more aggressive combos out there.

I just hope my spring runs will eventually match yours.

[paulm]

Thanks! I do like messing with my camaro and going to the track!

Good clean fun I figure!

[JimM]

very nice Paul. I been so busy with the motorhome and then recession that I haven't been to the track once this year, miss it.

[TazJr800]

I agree. Nice times, and car!!! I went to the track today as well. Byron, IL. 44°, overcast. Freezin to be honest. Their final day of the year.

This post intrigues me with your 60 ft times. I have included a picture of my last run today, and the car's best 60 ft time to date. (1.687) I think I will add a set of Caltracs this winter and that will be it.

I am like you. 11.50's in this car is just fine, street car, occassional show. Mostly original. Would really lik to keep it that way.

Again, nice car and best of luck!!!
