Ok, should start another thread here, but Ive had a few cars in the early 90's, lots of fun on the street. Novas, Camaros and even a 67 Firebird Jeff!!! But I also have more fun in a boat. Bikinis,Beer,and Big Blocks cant be beat!!!

yea, i just got reminded last night by my girl that we have a motor cycle run that day. i have 7 guys im going with. 2nd time all year my harley sees the road. lol

i was all about boats then at 20 i got bit by the speed bug and started going nuts with my camaro, then stopped using my boat, sold it at 22 put the coin into the car, then it was race race race. winning records, beating times, having a great time. then i just got sick of all the work and money and sitting in the heat sweeting etc etc. so the car sat for 2 years and i bought my boat. this year i found a cheep stock ls1, tossed it in my car with a cam i had and been to the track a couple times, tons of car shows and had a blast with the $500 motor from a junk yard and the car still ran 9.39 which is a record for stock motor. love it and used it when it was cool out and when i wanted.
had a great mix of boating and fun with the car
the race car did however keep me in check on leaving my boat stock. lol

WOW 939 had to be on a power adder Like NOS (I know youre a squeeze guy)

Screw the bike event this is the CT river run.

You can take the bike out anytime.

Theres gonna be ALLOT of sutphens there.
The waiting is what kills the track for me, drive 2.5 hrs or more, race for 24 seconds for the day and wait in line for 6 or 7 hrs. screw that! I am sick of it.

I like track rentals now where I can run round robin all day.

It just made more sense to boat for me. than to drag race.

My car is a turbocharged 69 firebird all pontiac power runs 9.
s off the ffot brake and I can drive it 2hrs in a clip on the street. what more can you ask for in a car. Ok Maybe 7'sLOL

Turbocharging makes the car so much more useable.
I was hoping to get it to the track a couple times before the end of the year.
Whats your ride?
Well I have three other "toys" 68 Charger R/T with '65 Race Hemi/4spd pretty much stock body and suspension, runs 11.50 @ 125 full street trim 'cept for the race fuel it requires, '79 Harley built as a tribute to my car 114'' ShovelHead- 5'' stroke x 3 13/16 bore ( it thinks it a Diesel) put it in 5th gear and drive it like an automatic and a 95 BMW 840Ci great car but only use it once every couple of months now.....I think it's time to thin the herd a bit
