BIGTIME MUSCLE [88bg] - DECISION MADE!

Awesome pics coming in, fellas ;] Tomcat, Rich, Cfunk, Pocket - thanks guys - some really cool action shots ;] And Rich, I’m a bit of a photo ‘junkie’ too ;] I’ve been known to set off a few ‘photo bombs’ myself ;] So HECK NO !!! I don’t mind all the pics ;] I just wanna know where you were a couple months ago, when we were still doing Photo comps ??

And Pocket, GREAT JOB, BUD !!! ;[ Guess I gotta pay for THAT !!! ;]

oops I think I drove it a little to hard lol, but I came away with a time of 01:47.795. replay in SF.

Thanks for joining in EW ;] Now THAt$ a lot of damage to pay for ;] Great time though ;]

Now, that’s using every inch of the track!

Ok, guys - YOU HAVE TILL TONIGHT TO POST YOUR SUPRA TIMES

Next car is being prepped and checked over for test drives ;] Let’s hope this baby fires ;] This one looks to have been sitting for a few years ;] She aint the prettiest on the lot, but she’s one cool ride ;]

I will posting her tonight after work ;] Stay tuned…

I gave it another shot tonight, but I couldn’t put together a clean lap and my fingers were falling asleep. I got my time down to 1:51.832, but again, it wasn’t clean. DON’T COUNT THAT! I can see getting down to the 1:50.something, but not tonight.

It always amazes me how much damage you can miss when you look at a car at night. This is what I found when I dragged it out into the daylight:

Decisons 2 … that thing is pretty worn out … still has some life in it tho I squeezed out a 1.08.194 on lap 2 on my test drive

Thanks, DRAGGIN :wink:

I had some free time at the shop it was a slow week so I freshened the motor up and went over to the test track to see if the rest of the ol’ girl would hold together and tho she needs a good body man to make her like new she had more motion than Baldwin gave her when she was new … loaded up a run because she has a lot of potential at the strip ;o)

Absolutely…

… BRILLIANT!!!


Decision 1
Time update - 1:44.750 on lap 11

Oldie but a goody…could stand a new paint job :wink: She’s showing her years (Nice work Kool)

Lap 4
1:07.402

She has good hp Kool…tough decision.
I put the keys back so someone else can give her a go…

Thank you CC/Rich/Jazzy/DRAGGIN ;] Some ideas just ‘hit ya’ ;] Don’t reakon this Target time will be too hard to beat - I got the most I could outta this 'ol girl ;] This one would definitely need a MAJOR restoration ;]

Decision 1 leader board has been updated - PLEASE let me know if I have missed any and make sure I have your correct/current times posted ;]

Grab some ‘Bowtie’ keys and hit the track, fellas ;]

I took her out for a test drive last night but storms knocked my power out before i could finish. Think I’ll swing back by tonight and give her another run!

That stinks, grits ;( Hope things up and running soon :wink:

What it looks like in the Craigslist ad.

What it looks like in person. Lol

And on the 5th day god said “Let him not finish!” And it was so.

Thanks for popping in Yakov :wink: Planning on joining in ?? :wink:

About 10 days ago I decided to take some time off from Forza (well and truly burnt out), and then last Sunday I ended up getting pretty dang sick. I should feel better sometime soon, but for the time being I’ll be watching you guys from the grandstands-AHHHH!!!

The Goodyear blimp! I’ll be watching from the Goodyear blimp with a box of tissues!

WHY?!
