Treadwear after that,

then motor,

then the "I don't have Weld money",

Investing 102

my ADD

etc---et al.

I can't put those other parts in the car---there's too much at risk now.
Im thinking that if you installed any of those fancy begged and borrowed parts in your garage then you would have no excuses. At least this way you can always talk about what your car will be next year after you install that subframe that so far is just way to get Kyle Tucker to come to your party. Dont worry if you install those parts in black beauty and your still only top 10, then you can just tell people how fast your drag car would be had they not shut down the drag strips in LA.

Hey, I resemble those remarks--and I wasn't top ten--top 16--it's important. Should I apologize now for driving your race car 1 second faster on the AutoCross than you did--on my first pass?

Here it comes-------Sorry.

Kyle and I were tight way before the subframe---we used to hang out all the time playing Dungeons and Dragons --he was the spellcaster and I was the thrallmaster---together we defeated many a gulfmoore.

Once I get the drag car running (), I will challenge you to a race--by then, one of the tracks should be reopened--and you can bring out your drag car----oops-----

And by the way, I don't see that you are coming to this event---why are you posting? Mods, please.

I knew you and KT went way back.

I have a buddy with a camaro with my name already written on the roof. ROGER LEE HOLDER, it has power windows still. I'm sure I could borrow it for pinks. But if I win you can keep all that barney purple stuff you have on the engine to try and hide the fact it's a small block under all the gay purple dinosaur engine dress up kit.

As far as signing up for the event, my wife has it on her list to cut and send a check. I just have no idea which car to bring. I might just bring my big rig and out class that El Paso Tex MEX pull rig you have out front of you house that you tried to say belonged to you neighbor with that boomerang radio antenna on the camper shell of you cut cab dually on 16.5" Boyds.

Just to be clear, you did beat my time but I would have thought you cut my time in half since everything on my car is twice as big and strong as everything on your car.

Engine 285hp vs 560hp
front tires - 135 spare tire vs 295
door gaps - 1/2" - 5/8" vs 1/4" -5/16"
Size of drivers ego - well Doug Renner - enough said - some hillbilly monster truck driver from Bakertucky.

Oh and the seats on my car are not actually from the space ship in the movie Flight Of the Navigator. Just sayin

Can't you and Todd do some more videos for this thread?

So you won't be coming then since that list of checks to cut rarely gets done...

Just throw Greg's car together and get it ready by then... before he pulls it and takes it to Race Rodz.... or Competition Specialties... real shops who can get it done.

Doug hasn't put those parts on his car so everyone will keep talking about him; because once they go on he'll be old news, and Mr. Popular can't have that!

Matt's a good jokester cause mind is quick an direct, too bad I can't say the same for his driving.

Roger's so big I don't dare cross him; and Greg's so short I'd feel bad for making fun of him.

Steven Steven Steven, I don't know where to start with you...

Tommy boy, could the hair get any bigger?

Jon, that was good shiat right there man.

My Lil Kim Jong Il fiance is indeed a firecracker... but she made me give up the hookers and blow when we got serious. Go figure.

Some searching on craiglist and I found this badass machine. I'm waiting to hear back on my offer. If the deal goes though you guys are definitely gonna need a bigger white board!

I give you the... BUTTONWILLOW DOMINATOR!!



This thing is even fully track ready as evidenced in this picture!



Fear me
Chad I assume the craftsmanship comment is true (hope not that) and really hope the rest isn't true. You could always go hang out with your buds on Socalterminator forum and buy a Mustang like Matt.

Please, no more amateur hour with those videos.....

Shouldn't you be calling the Ring Bros or something striking a deal for their hood hinges for $10?

Chad, that really sucks about the work on your car. Brett seems extremely capable though, and he's developing a track record for rescuing forum members' cars.

Dave. Socalterminator? Really?

SVT Performance is where it is at. GT500s are the best and they're way cheaper to mod hp per dollar than those cat fish fourth gens, or those old cars that just overheat. Hell a pulley and a tune alone will get me to 550 rwhp. I could destroy a ZR1 for a fraction of the price. If I wanted. I raced this black with white stripes low rider looking Camaro with huge wheels last night, and pulled 10 car lengths on him. Then I saw this Blue Camaro with Ford stripes. I raced him, and when I floored it, I left him in the dust. I saw a big cloud of smoke in my rearview mirror, so maybe he was just doing a burnout, because his car couldn't hook. Stupid Chevy. My Ford doesn't even hook in 6th, it's well engineered 8.8 posi axle means I can still accelerate will spinning. It's also possible his engine blew up because it is a Chevy. So much for old school Chevy power. Then some guy in a little Civic hatch pulled up next to me. I saw that it had Eibach springs. I have Eibach springs too, they make my car handle better than a Corvette. Anyway, Civic dude wanted to race lol. Why would I waste me time? My supercharger displaces more air than his entire engine. So, I pulled off the line real slow, like normal driving, where I shift from 1st to 4th because my awesome Ford engine has sooo much torque. You wouldn't believe it, the dude in the Eibach spring lowered Civic gave me the ricer fly by. WTF? I think I'm still going to count the Civic as a racing kill.

I also saw this R8 Spider with this little rich guy driving it. I was thinking of racing him, but I know his car has a V10. What kind of mods would I need to beat him, if any? Gears and a pulley maybe? I just want to be sure that I can walk him.

Please let me know what mods I might need. Thanx Guyz!

Cheers,

CameroKiller1000

Nice. I should have separated the sentence structure a bit tho... Chad and I do know several guys from the SocalTerminator forum as we've gotten to know them at track days at Willow.... good guys even tho they are stuck with those Fords.

Ask Chad about his "Camaro build thread" on the SocalTerminator forum.

If you're bringing Holders car, You got to add 1,800lbs, give 2 car lengths and the leave to Dfresh to keep it fair. Maybe borrow Roger's modified and make it a 3 way ..dirt track, drag racing and road course event!!

Day 1 ButtonWillow

Day 2 Famoso

Day 3 Oildale

I wouldn't go as far as gay but judging by the heat in here, it will be a close battle.
