Who will stay on top by the end of the year?

Some big changes are being made to some of our combos. I'm still ahead of the ball game but who is going to catch up? Don't be suprise what you might see when I hit the streets again. One thing for sure is that I can't be caught.

Re: Who will stay on top by the end of the year?

Rumor has it the song "Chocolate Rain" was originally about Vincent speaking BS.



I just hope to beat my previous bests. I'm not worried about being the best, since my car is my daily driver.

Don may knows some of my tricks but that doesn't mean he can out do some of my tricks. Say James, are you going to get back in the thirdgen game? I miss beating you up on the streets.

Power to the people!

Re: Who will stay on top by the end of the year?

If we go to the meet next Summer with the 4th gen crowd at Fontana our club will provide some embarassment. I can't wait to be accused of using nitrous. Hahahaha.

[quote=VincentZ28;3475236]Say James, are you going to get back in the thirdgen game? I miss beating you up on the streets....QUOTE]

Yep, you beat me up on the streets too bad you blew up your transmission and then you engine in the process. It was so much fun that I even let Mike take a couple free shots at you and take you down a peg or two. Too bad you never showed up at the track those times like you said you would...it isn't any fun when you bring your mom's stock car to the track....LOL.

Well come spring time perhaps I will be able to get back into the ring and make you guys redo your combos to be competitive...LOL.

Sp Julie was accused of having Nitrous for her car? Was this at the track, by a passenger, or after a little street rump?

With new heads and cams on the market such as the AFR Elimators your job will be easier. However I'm looking forward to the challenge. Don probably has the best exhaust in the market.

Re: Who will stay on top by the end of the year?

When ever you are ready James with your thirdgen. I'll be waiting.

As far as my tranny goes, it is now stronger than ever. The oldest thing in the tranny is 5th gear. No more stock worned out parts.

Mike only had one lucky shot and won by half a car lenght with the best tune on your car. My car wasn't dyno tuned yet. All the other times you and Mike had gotten ya'll asses whip by me on the streets and on the FWY.

As far as my engine blowing up, that was just a broken valve spring and bent valve. I never had that problem again.

This time around James you will have to earn the rights to get to the top. Right now there are at least 5 people you will have to go through before you get to me. Start from the bottom then work your way to the top.

Re: Who will stay on top by the end of the year?

Ha...my car was never dyno tuned. My car was never on a dyno without the air filters in place. Every chip I made for my car was the best tune it had and every chip it ran was used for both its daily driving duties and for the racetrack. No special tunes. No special chips. I did what it did.

I just wish the racetracks were as accessible and fun today as they were back in the early days of Fontana.

Hey Travis some of us are just running 355"s with TPI. You are in a whole nether league. Maybe we will have another Bakersfield meet next year for a get together. I like the set up at the track.

Hey Allen! I know your not scared of a car with a little more cubes are you? I beat up on 383's and 406's with my 355cu. Snatch them out the hole and you will be alright. If not, oh well! You can't beat them all!

I know, I break the rules regarding smog. But I know when my car is running, I will be damn eager to get some miles on the Iroc, and so cal sounds like so much fun! As soon as I am confident the car is truly a street car and I can make long trips without worry.
