that's sig material, love it! :lol:

You speak the truth :thumbsup: It's even more fun taking out the high $ cars with all their electronics, ie throttle stops, delay boxs.

I had the privilege of meeting Gwen and Greg and getting a quick personal trailer tour of Old Yeller today! The car is exceptional in person, what a track weapon! Great job on the build Charlie. :thumbsup:

Greg - It was a real pleasure to finally meet you and your lovely wife all though way too brief of a meeting.

Hope the forecast holds as it looks to be awfully good. Will Gwen get some instruction/site laps to learn the reference points?

Have a great time at T-Hill! :thumbsup:

Thanks buddy! Was good to shake hands with you too!

We settled into Redding for the night -- it was a dilly dally kind of day.... no big rush to get down here... Got all day tomorrow to goof off now.

Hope those heads work out for you!

:cheers:

How was lunch? Katie buy? :D We meet at the Blvd Grille in the summer since the owner is a car guy and blocks a section of the front lot for us.

If they don't work out they'll be the coolest bookends I've ever owned. :D
Taking them to the builder today for a strategic planning session. :unibrow:

Thanks again, enjoy D-D'ing today. Track walk after dinner tonight?

Lunch was fine - can't hurt a Cob salad much... I didn't know Geoff was a car guy... He's Katies boss where he is partner in a pizza joint... so he bought us dessert. Katie ate it.

Those heads will be killer - especially if you go stroker 383... Amazing how much more torque you can get out of 33 more cubic inches. Just keep the rod short.

GM was selling a 383 short block - don't know if they still do - but IIRC it was a bargain.

:cheers:

Greg,

I was planning on trying to come visit you at the track tomorrow, limited time I know. Hope to see ya in the morning.

Sieg 04-27-2012 08:30 AM

IIRC Geoff has a blue/white Tri-5.

Torque?????



:unibrow:
I love the sound of that mouse motor.


383 is the plan for the future, I might just do a quickie this season........we'll see after today's get togther.
