When I was at Wyotech, we dynoed a '63 Le Mans I think it was, that was rear twin turboed with a/w in the trunk. Had the stock carb hat on it but turned backwards towards the firewall where the cold pipe came in, which was ran above the trans but under the trans tunnel. All square pipe to help with better clearance. Put down over 800/800 in mild boost. Was setup to run 18+ IIRC.

Damn it , I'm heading to dyno/retune the end of the month or I'd love to go ! :(

Might still have to come check out your truck .

You win! Random statement of the day.... What does that have to do with the flashlight drags?

oops, I had forgot to mention that's what he had built it for, was the flashlight drags and how I never got a chance to go watch any. :shiner:

Ohhhhh ok. Haha

tiring day today :jest:

Holy sh*t. I think im going to be back in Pittsburgh that weekend. I would like to go to this!

Bill, you gonna run the truck?

Racers - you'll have a return lane with 12 turns, the only return lane of it's kind in the counry

WTH? They send you through a maze on the way out?

Ya I'm definitely running, got a co worker going with a rx7 that I'm gonna line up with :)

The track is a circuit track and we race on the front straight... then the only way to return is on the track itself lol.

Oh, that's very cool.

Yea, I was wondering where they were gonna do it... that will be cool... I think it may be a little down hill or even up hill, depending upon which part of the straight they start you at.

Albeit people will be idiots driving around the rest of the track too

People are generally fine on the track, they have fun on the return but nothing stupid. I have went to basically everyone at this location for the last couple years, its always a good time.

You going dude? Brandon and I are gonna leave hopewell around 1030ish.

I am focused on tom. for now, as for Saturday I am not sure. Still have my father in law in ICU in Pitts so hard to say. I know Mark would like to go, but again thats during his business hrs so not sure.

Pretty much all of my wins except the LS1 vette I let out WAY before the finish line lol.

My results:

Wins
5.7 Tundra
SRT10 Ram
Miata (twice)
LS1 vette
07ish Mustang GT
rat rod of some sort
new dart
200c
6.2 silverado

Loses
the green big block C10
pink S10, small with nitrous
modded LS1 camaro (beat me by about a length... maybe length and a half.)


Aeroking's syclone would most likely have beat me but his intake tube blew off after about 100' lol.

Few pictures

I spank that big block C10. Older guy, he always wants to race for some reason.

Ya he pulled on me out of the hole and I never caught up, I think I lost to him by like 4 lengths.

you guys need some gopro vids of this event. it sound cool as hell.

I hope to aquire a Go pro for Christmas.
