So, an old friend and charter member of the lone star performance Buick club, Terry Bunton had allerted me a few weeks ago he would be travelling in from the Abilene area to attend the tmccc at north star dragway yesterday. So we made plans to attend. Along with terry, Stan Davis brought out his 87 d84 Limited. It was looking very nice and running decent.
Now, I know I have been out of the loop for quite some time and Stan showed me the cats a$$ in chips. He was adjusting his tt chip with the scanmaster and gas pedal. Now that was slick and the first I'd seen of it. So I've been perusing Erics forum and noticed this works on several of his chip versions. I think I got one with a 5.6 on it in the deal where I bought the 42lb injectors. I will look when I get home. This opens up a whole new world to me. This is going to be fun. As soon as I get good I'm saving for the sd2 so I can ditch the maf.
Anyway, stan's car is nice with the sofa front bench and a cf5, all decked out in chrome.

I didn't run our car. We are on some old rear tires and not really trusting the trans yet but it shift well and didn't miss a beat knocking down just over 22mpg on that tank.

That's a nice lookin' TR. I still adjust my fuel/timing with the foot pedal via the SM...tho I think you can do it on the laptop with PL.

Nice! What is the weather like out there?

Weather while not perfect was really nice. Of course the sun was out and there wasn't much wind. Probably high 80s and not too much humidity.
That Limited is my old friend Stan Davis. He also has a real nice 70 GS455 convertible that runs mid 12s. The regal is a blue d84 with velour interior, cf5 moonroof and those nifty cornering lamps in the front fenders. He was running mid 8s(eigth mile). He has that tt chip I mentioned and alcohol injection. He was only running 23psi boost. I thought it needed more but I wasn't asked.
There should be another mc club challenge in a few weeks.I'm thinking I might be able to run then.
