:highflyer Well, the thread is “Whaddya drive” In my case this is two sides of the same coin.
On the street…a customized Chev. Pickup (also my tow vehicle) and an 1 owner ’91 T-Bird (33MPG street/hiway cruiser) no payments, cheap insurance, does everything well but not much “performance”.
Off the street I’m partners on 2 drag race cars…a ’66 Mustang (11.3 sec.@119MPH 1/4 mile) a ’79 Mustang w/460ci. (10.6 @128MPH 1/4 mile). These are the “weekend warriors”. Then…..
My real love! Bonneville Salt Flats racing (Utah) (plus, El Mirage Dry Lake, (California) currently running a Modified Sports…Mazda RX-7 (old style) chopped, sectioned, lengthened 2 1/2 feet with a 1650 HP 427ci. Chev. supercharged and fuel injected. (My partner on this one is 88 years young!)
On gas we have the world record at 231.5MPH for the class.
Been doing this insanity for over 40 years and still not ready (too old) (or smart enuff) to quit. Currently building a 2,000+HP “Hemi” engine to put in…..Hmmmm not sure what, maybe the T-Bird, should exceed 300MPH.:omg:
40 + years of HIGH Performance and still can’t get enuff!
Any other racers out there? Near Vegas? Wanna Help? Wanna’ Drive? HeHeHe.Sponsor?
Hey, “Talk Casinos” is your avatar at El Mirage?
Takes a lot of “hits/players” to pay for this stuff. It’s worse than drugs!
:3eyes: :woohoo: Life’s a journey enjoy the “ride”.
