Ok, 1 down 1 to go...Pop is home and doing well.
David may take longer......if it takes much more than the end of next week, Pomona will be very difficult if not impossible to make....
Thats Ok it was part of our plan to be there and what we wanted, but plans sometimes change, you have to roll with the punches. And in the whole scheme of things it really wont matter....it was a deadline WE , and I set for myself...noone else...there will be some, wah wah he bailed...not the case...But Ive got about 8 days before I see it as VERY difficult to make timing wise. A lot can happen in 8 days.
So....other than that nothing else exciting Pop is home, thats great news....Now the trick will be getting him not to "overdo" things....
Well....Cheers all....
Im doing some work on the Drag Pak Registry site in my isolation, and apparently accidentally stirring up things on Class Racer, not my intent, but apparently around there if you "Disagree" or see something Positive in the way things are and will be you get pretty much told you dont now crap and are disrespectful....whatever.
I see the next years season as a GREAT opportunity for advancement in and around Drag Racing...partly and in my case large part due to the "Package" cars.....
Im happy and not going to deny it or hide it or act all "humble" about the fact my dad got us a Drag Pak....Im not shoving it into anyones face either as a nananana....
Its simple for many many years we always had and put together the shoe string budget cars out of spare odds and ends collected and scabbed from here and there....weve been the "underdog" I had a Cart....well...it was different, it was built to compete against Honda Oddesy carts, but it was "different" and actually ran a CB175 engine....it was utterly blinding in speed 0-75 so fast it was unreal, and handling, way beyond what any stock oddesy was, I ended up for a while running nitro/alky mix Id nitro burn a head in about 1 hr, but I had litteraly a PILE of spares from a buddy who was scrapping bike at the time...it was sick....I wish I still had it, after my use I gave it to my Brother in Law..he ran it , we probably built and ran and scattered no less than 30 motors.......very very well done and fast and cheap and just 190% better than any competition. The cart got "bumped" to an unlimited class even though it was 75 ccs shy of a stock Oddesy. Ive actually grown to like and enjoy that. But on this one we dont have to...we havent worked at an unlimited budget and have been as frugal or cheap as we always have, weve used our heads more because of it than just buying what every vendor tells us will make us "fast"
This car will either succeed or fail 100% because of us....There are guys, racers, the BEST like Garlits who just didnt do it right the first time out...why ? A whole bunch of reasons if you know why it really happened, some decisions were just wrong and wrong for the car even though they came from knowledgable sources....they didnt "match" so.....hopefully we will...there are 2 potentials for early disaster on our cars performance, These will be found in testing and we knew that when we choose them, the upside is significant if they pan out like we expect them to. But they are easy enough to change up if we need to as well...But hes changing or changed up....he should be lethal out there.
We are dyno testing and tuning the car with a low stall "mileage" converter since its a load brake dyno, we should be able to dial in the accel part of the VE tables better than someone with a high stall converter on an inertia dyno...well see.....
Cheers all and thanks for the well wishes for my Dad and Son.
