years ago my buddy pete had a 67 chevelle drag car...454/tunnelram/2-1250 dominators/16to1 compression.....would burn rubber in all 4 gears....well this guy smitty was running his mouth and pete said lets line them up.....pete lost cause he couldnt get traction and smitty went on running his mouth.....they took the up to the track after that.....pete all red in the face said smitty if i dont beat you by 2 seconds in this race you can have my car.....pete blew him away :thumbsup:
yesterday after smitty found out his car was slower than he thought i went up to him and said well smitty that wasnt too bad....i didnt rub it in his face like he would to me.....thats the kind of guy i am

I've been to Keystone Raceway (now Pittsburgh Raceway Park).
My car is stock except for glass packs, 383 W/ points, auto-w/ me shifting, 3.91 rear and I ran a best 14.27.
14.40's all day. Not near where you guys are running, but I was happy.
My dream is to buy an A-Body to build up.

Smart man. Light weight, great rear overhang, and can be lethal with a SB or a BB. Chris is looking to get rid of the Free Duster...you two should work something out... He needs a trip to the east coast anyway...have him bring the car to Carlisle next year...Bob can co-pilot...they both get to go to Carlisle...you get your A-Body...we can have a celebratory beer bash at my buddy's camper (we're at Fickes' every year right next to gate 3)... Sounds like I have this all sorted out... :lol:
