I had a bird tell me today that Zip is going on a Easter egg hunt looking for a black Biscane with a little color on the front. Hope you do well on your hunt Later J.Smith 4621 racing The Sledgehammer :lol:

Yeh, classic b/blk vs sm/blk, me 377" him 468", if i can get him to take the nitrous bottle out, i got a pretty good chance, i don't run that blow stuff, just motor. Heck his heads cost more that my whole rotating assy. But i don't think he'll take the bottle out, so i'll suffer on the big end for sure. No matter it's all in fun we are best friends, even if he has ragged on me since i built the 468 pump gas motor for him. His car is 450 lbs heaver than mine, him at 3700lbs, me at 3250lbs so he could be in big trouble in the 1/8 even with nitrous. Sat. nite if it don't rain i'll be a hero or a "O"

Zip, good luck. It really don't matter who wins as long as the both of you have fun and please be safe. The kids still talk about how much fun they had getting their picture taken in the Biscayne. Call me when you get a chance so I can give you an update on my car.

Well i wish i could say it was pretty, BUT DAMN THAT MURPHY and his law. It started out today after trashing for 2 days on the car, including having to put in an insert in one of the sparkplug holes. I wouldn't want to try that between rounds for sure. Anyway i decide to use my little flatbed trailer instead of my inclosed one. (the car is ready) So i start to check the air on the trailer, i kick the tire on one wheel and the tire jumps in about a 1/4". It's got buddy hubs so i can't just look to see what's wrong. ( i had loaned it out about a month ago) anyway i hook it up and bring it by the shop door and pull the wheel. The cotter pin had dropped out and the nut backed off about a 1/8" I get that fixed and load up, take a shower and head to the track. i get there and my friend had run out of nitrous YE,HA my day. He had just run 10.73, here i come. I go up to make my first pass in the car in 3 yrs., i had no intention of driving it hard, just wanted to warm up the engine, trans and rearend, so i cruise out of the hole with a 1.6, 60' time then get on it, didn't even pull the wheels which it will do all day long. It's pulling pretty hard until about 500 ft., then just shuts down, i kick it into nutural l'm thinking electrical connection, i coast thru @ 7.0 in the 1/8@ 100mph and 12.30 @ 75mph 1/4
i make it on coast about 1/2 way down the return rd. They come pick me up with a 4 wheeler. Get back to the pits and it was real easy to find the problem, the fuel pump belt is laying on the frame. I grab the fuel pump and it's locked up. I've been racing over 50 yrs. and running positave displacement pumps and i've never in my life time seen one lock up. Well i wish i had a better story, but it was not too be, it very well could have been my day, except for that damn Murphy.
