Looks like it ought to be a lot of fun....most of the racing today seems to be too professional and too polished to really entertain me....

That does look fun and you're right Steve. What ever happened to run what you brung?
-
I'm pretty sure, that is what street racing and grudge racing is about.

Note to any locals that want to race at this event. It's at Picton Airfield...and your racing on the original WW2 tarmac. The stone has risen to the surface...and is as abrasive as all hell. It literally shreds tires. My recommendation is to grab an old pair of 28x10.5 C or M MT slicks. They'll mount on the stock rim...and will clear the lip and frame with either an aluminum drum...or a cast iron drum with a thin spacer. 10 PSI works best. If you're making ANY horsepower...i t's nothing but a pedal fest. 120-122 is the max MPH...and you're outta room. There's a drone vid of me racing somewhere on here...and you'll see me make a hard left with the tires locking and smoke pouring off them. If you have a good lead...get outta the throttle. Makes no difference how much you win by.

This means the car is ready!!!! :rock:
-
Sunny and a high of 61 is forecast.
-
Keep your ticket stub...as it's good for 10 percent off at the Kingston Princess Auto.
-
Sunrise at Armdrop.
-
The Armdrop Gods were looking down on us today...as the weather was picture perfect. Made 2 runs...and the car ran nails.
Next Armdrop is June 24th.

Glad all went well this time and nothing broke!

Just watch your vid. Looks like that arm drop gets a lot of participation. As you were walking the line, there was a white/tan Regal and looked to have a fmic under the grill. Did you get to see that car run?

No I was just there spectating. The new ride Brad was talking about is my new PIT bike 3 wheel scooter.

Ron...did you get an ET on this car?
-
Bored shitless waiting to make a run. Check out the asphalt...with the cracks in it. That's the surface we race on.

I believe 9.70 1 of the Nova's did.
-
It was surprising how many cars went into the weeds. 1 car even made it into the trees.
Freddy started pulling the laundry after making the grass

Someones gonna get killed there...the shutoff is way to short. I went toe to toe with the twin engine supercharged 99 GTP out of the Cormier garage in Trenton last year. They had the drone follow us down and we went through the traps together at 11.0. I cut left...he cut right. Thot for sure I was gonna roll it. Vid is up here somewhere...an d you can see smoke off the front tires on my car. I let out of it at the 1/8th yesterday on both runs. Cars that knowingly run quicker than 11 flat should be forced to run the 1/8th.

The lady that went off in the burgundy Nova racecar was Amber at a 9.93. I didn't see the others.

Pic of Doug Fulton from yesterday. Races Nostalgia class at SMP...hilariou s group of guys to hang out with on race day. Ran about a 7.3x dial on it last year...but has a new set of heads on it. See what it runs in a couple of weeks at the first race.

I'll get vid for you in a couple of weeks of Doug racing it in the Nostalgia class. That's Murray in the gasser lined up with him.
-
Too far for my old eyes, but it looks like the gasser has a straight axle and fenderwell dumps...be still my heart! LOL
