I'm still planning on making it as of right now, but we just got an accepted offer on selling our house, so I may have to bail to start packing some stuff. Hopefully I can push that off though and look forward to seeing everyone there.

 

Hey Larry,
In May I left the house at 5 AM and met up with Tom in Decatur at around 7 AM. We had breakfast and went to Brenspeeds from there. About another hour I think. So we got to Brenspeeds about 9. We only stayed until about 1 PM. I don't plan to stay all day so if you would like to go we can work it out. I took SR 33 off of I-75 straight into Decatur so that would be easy for us to meet up I think. Left me know. I plan on picking up some delete plates and have Brent adjust his tune for them and change some stuff in the auto trans shifting schedule.

P.S. I went out to Mapquest and it is 101 miles to Decatur for me and 102 from Marysville for you. About 2 hours for both of us.

 

Dang, Scott went and got all computer-smart on us!

Well hopefully I'll see you all there......I'll be leaving no later than 1pm, probably even closer to noon.

I'm considering putting my factory tires back on, to see what difference they make on the dyno. Last spring, I lost ~15 or 20 rwhp with running my 18" DD chromes.

 

I'd love to have time to come hang out with you Dyno Queens... but I got real car guy stuff to do... getting ready to install third set springs not counting the Flat Rocks Started with Roush then Ground force going to Saleen Race Craft now! and finally put some U D pulleys on! take some pics I love seeing everyone standing around the dyno pounding their chests...........

 

I personally am beginning to wonder if you are like a mirage or something. You know "not really there" Won't you mommy let you come out and play with us?

 

It's settled. I'll be there. I'm bringing my younger brother with me. Hopefully we'll catch you before we head out Tom. I'll probably be getting there early and heading out around noon, unless I get hooked.

 

See you in the morning Jaime!!

 

Yeah, me too...... tis the season for ghosts and goblins but c'mon....

Good deal, see you there!


BTW guys, I did put my stock wheels and tires back on the car today... man it is downright scary- let me tell you. You can not get traction at all; I'm wondering if the lighter weight will show up again on the dyno.

 

I should be there early. I got to be back for a 12 hour Midnight shift stating at 7 pm. Need to get my beauty sleep before work.


I'm hoping this little Saleen SC get to 350 on the dyno.

 

Darrell
Looking forward to meeting you. I was hoping you could bring the 1955 GM SW1001 Locomotive with you and put it on the dyno. Not sure what kind of HP #'s it would put down but I be the torque #'s would be off the charts. You know they give trophies out don't you.

Has anyone else looked at the weather forecast. I just took a look for Pierceton tomorrow and it's supposed to rain until early afternoon.

I'm thinking I might not go if it's going to rain tomorrow like it's raining right now. Not much to do up there when the rain's on, and I hate to drive 1 1/2 hours to stand around in the shop for a bit and then turn around and leave.

What do you all think?

 

Jaime,
I'm driving 31/2 hrs rain or shine. If you remember it rained some in May.
Scott

 

I'm going to say 70%-30% I won't be there...If I can get my brother inlaw to go with the 427 fairlane I'lll come.

 

Well the Diesel is rated at 1000 HP and has a (appx) 23 to 1 gear ratio to the electric motor that drives the wheels. It doesn't go fast but it pulls 7150 tons pretty easy. (I think my math is right, a railcar can carry 286,000 lbs (143 tons) times 50 cars.) It uses about 150 gallons of Diesel a day (and about 2 gallons of oil a week). They are RC controlled (Radio Controlled) we have a box on a chest harness that has throttle, brake and direction, bell, and a loud @ss horn. We ride the side Pullman steps in all weather (rain, snow, sun).

 

Hey man sorry to hear that your mustang is made out of sugar and would melt when it gets wet Maybe the Sun will come out again next Spring

Just kiddin man

 

I really wish I could make it... love to find an event like this near Charlotte !!!

 

Back from the dyno.... great time! Thanks to dly and 70MACH1OWNER for coming up!! I had a new high for the car while running the stock 17" wheels- 469/414!

Here are some vids!

 

Evidently I got there after all of you left. Still a good time though. I didn't bother to run the car this time since I haven't done anything to it since last time.

Saw a badass GT500 that put down over 630RWHP with 20" wheels on. Kenne Bell upgraded supercharger. Absolutely gorgeous car.

Also saw a termie that put down over 600 RWHP with a Kenne Bell system.

If I was to trade my car today, it would be on either the 03/04 Cobra or the GT500. Of course either one is out of the question as the finances stand right now. But soon I hope to be either supercharging my '06 or just stepping up to the GT500 so I have a better starting point. Unfortunately "soon" is not nearly as soon as I'd like.
