Very nice! If this is a thrift shop build, I'm gonna have to rename mine to Scrap Pile build! Although I do have a SuperT10 from Dave Marcis' old cup car.

Its funny Greg, 80% of my customers are from the Jewish community, and they love Ron Swartz. If I correct them, and they find out it's Schwarz, and German instead of Jewish, they look at me like I'm Satan. So I go by Swartz, Schwartz, it really makes no difference. Most people think Jeff Schwartz and I are related, but we're not.

Well if I had any class I'd have looked it up to get it right --- but I had a busy morning and didn't take the time.


I thee dub you "SCWHARZTIKA" <for all your Jewish friends!>


:headspin: :disgusted: :rolleyes: :hello:

Been away for a few days
 

Got to attend a private track day at Charlotte Motor Speedway and they had the road course set up. Basically you turn into the infield just before turn 1, run the infield and back on the track about mid-turn 1. On the speedway all the way around until your turn back in at the start of turn 1. I brought Peter along and he let me take a few laps in his 69 since I have no car. On Goodyear R1's, full DSE suspension and 632 ci NELSON big block. Need to get my car done asap. His car was a rocket.

Jim, good to see you are still around and will look you up if I am down that way.

Still need to locate me a Jerico

GW, love your little mustang. After driving on those slicks it is almost silly to go back to street tires, but I don't have to tell you that.

So how did that BBC handle? IIRC that's an iron Big M block and they are tanks. I've been toying around with the idea of an aluminum BBC to keep the frontend weight down myself. Honestly it is cost prohibitive though so it is nice to hear another car is working nice with a motor at least as heavy as what I'll likely end up with. Although, I don't have the DSE frontend either...

The car weighs
 

3900 lbs so she is a little chubby, but suprisingly well. It was not being pushed to the limits as it is not my car.

Slicks are like crack and may have been masking the weight, but the car was well ballanced. The track fast with really no tight turns, I may feel different track or autocross.

Wow, sounds like a ton of fun! Wish I lived in car la la land! but I did get to send my son to race car school at UNCC. Are you going to the detroit speed slam at CMP? I'll be there in one car or the other. We met at Jake's hauler at VIR a couple years ago if you remember.

I do remember you
 

and yes I will be at the Southern Slam just hanging out and watching the action.

Here are a couple of shots from the track day

Picked up this block
 

from a dirt track guy in CA. Was going to use it as a back up motor and never did anything with it. It is used, got it for about 1/3 cost of new. Brodix aluminum block that has been lightened.
