NEVER DOUBT U REB . fact i think u get better at it with age i know i am ... Older the violin gets the sweeter the music . IN our case it stays out of tune ...devil went down to georgia tuning,

WELL I am SEEING u are starting the year out right ....i dont care what it cost someone to rebuild that track . they know the issues in rebuilding it ... if they are willing why cry about it ..i got to race one race on that track in pro sedan had less than two handfulls of pratice laps the very last weekend the track ran .. i started 4th surprised i ran and finished 3rd surprised again might have had a chance at winning but leaning out carb caused me to run just above half throttle most of the race i could have followed right on the leaders tails till i learned more about that track but chance of burning a piston i was not in favor of .. ......be something to see it running again always excited to go ..

HAPPY NEW YEAR ..hope the new one is better than the last one ..i slept right through it , i must have been tired i never heard the war zone we get every year . i must be getting old ,, the neighbors across the street always put on a massive hours long fireworks display carlelessly each year ...not to mention every street around does the same .. WE HAVE LAWS just like other major cities have . but u wont find the police anywhere near by . call them u wont get an answer ...... it is so dangerous for officers to do that sorta work ..never know who will fire a weapon off .and that happens way to often now ..

if u are winning races all the time .u are a cheater either way ..i was called a cheater when i won more races or up front finishes than some thought i should . always fun once they saw i was not cheating ..but if u were found cheating once that stuck with u from then on ..nick has told me somethings he has found some very innovative designs and many on the edge ... u dont know how many teams each week nascar finds something in question and that is just that in question and not penalize the team but least warns them not to do it again...

Starting to worry about u bud

DANG REB .. BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT WAS FUNNY AS ALL GET OUT .. now i pushed the little button ....

AND WE MISS U

found a burnt rotor .. shorting out on the distributor plate underneath it .. . new parts at that .. going to change plug wires with new factory style .some one put after markets on it ..

i am going to take video .if you want or anyone wants to see what it is doing .. my phone number 361 .290 .2096 .. I HAVE been going strong for over four months with cars and trucks a cutomers truck i rebuilt alot of things on it ..the veterans camero for two months and now this truck for 3weeks .. . so my mind is wiped out . if a snake can bite i have been bitten alot .. . it is ussualy something small that does that ..and i bet this is something small . least hope it is ..

but wont start even with starter fluid even poured alittle fuel in her .. .that is the one that gets me along with the motor surging three time after release of switch . and or release of remote starter button ... distributor index is right on with cylinder at tdc .. fuel on the plugs not heavy ..dont know if the knock sensor could throw all that off ..

yes wet

98 tahoe 5,7 i ussualy figure these issues out ..but this one has me stumped ..... was running great ..fuel pump went out change it went head and changed the injectors and distributor as well fixing this truck up for my brother who is in bad health and and cant afford much of anything ..so three bothers and one sister is helping me finance the repairs i am doing all the work .we bought it cheap has 127 thousand on it and sat for three years with front damage i fixed ..it has ran all summer everytime smooth as ice till i was ready to give it to my brother it starting having issues ...... SO with all that said .. it will not start up for the last week or so .. it has fire it has fuel pressure .it is in time the scanner shows nothing really wrong with it that u an stick a fork in 5 volts .the starter was loading up so replaced it and cables .. when i turn it over it will not start not even try .even with starting fluid .but will and i know this has happend before on the chveys fire off three revolutions after letting the key off .. the coil will spark three times after .. . i was told it was the ignition switch .so 128 bucks later still the same .crank sensor is working cam sensor just under 2degrees retard .. .. ... 60 psi ......battery was replaced with a new one .. i would love to get this truck to my brother his old truck is about dead and he lives in the country ..and it is not easy to just take off and pull him home ...any ideals i still have a few left in me but i would rather have some input ..

oh i need to add with those main parts changed .it ran great for one day and started acting up .. i pulled the coil wire up over the coil and at times it would start no anymore. . does this look like a ground issue coil is good wires are good ignition module is working .. i cleaned and checked the body ground and the ground at the fuel tank area ..

yep i stopped breathing for a few seconds to help out . something about passing out i am not partial too .. i needed all the speedzone readers to join me in those second s... but all is not lost my birdbath was froze over and the humming birds where skating . plus i drove my truck over a few drozen corpus christi crappy street craters that were iced over .. a crunch here an there really didnt do much for me though . should rode my mini bike instead .the only issue with that no heater or areas to haul the HEB BAGS i had loaded .. . oh well saint nick holt sent us some saved state of maine cold weather in his bag of goodies down here // ussualy hot here on chrismas day .. .i enjoyed cooking on the grill ealrlier today in i think 28 degree temp .. felt good .

i noticed that lighter than air snow flakes have not hit the ground down south yet .nick could u add just a tad more ballast ..

Not if u were sitting in the same room as my father inlaw tonight .. he is 90 .. .

we all know racers are their own worst enemy .. i want this and that .i can aford it if u cant so what ..in two years or less u lose car counts just like the factory stocks are and will do over the next season or so .. cost is to high .... just for some who dont know i raced my own cars for three season ..yep mini stock .but those were not cheap to run either .... .then the real cost came along . my son and the cost of running at cc sas and kyle and a time of two on dirt ....i wanted racing springs .but glad they stayed factory .... the dot tires lasted along time . . lucky my brother inlaw in rockport owns a tire store and figured out the best all around tires to run .. we won alot of races with his infomation .. joshua won 29 races one season and a championship on tires my brother in law came up with .. and they were legal ..

THANK god i was never in trouble with u .. i have been the most gracious lovable understanding and outstanding bestest honorable member of speedzone .. .. now ill get off my high bull crap horse .. is bull crap ok .. sorry forgot one likable

.. I FOUND THE FANS do not go to see how fast a lap time is ..they go to see good close racing . in 1989 going into 1990 we took all the racing parts off and out of our motors and put on recaps to build the class back up .. yes we did not have the power under the hood we were used to .. but cheaper tires and cheaper motors made for some good close racing .. u just had to hold the peddle down longer and get on it sooner but we really didnt lose lap times .. i still ran a 16 flat +and sometimes a 15 ,8 .same as our mccreary tires and more horsepower .. we actually created a better average speed around the track once u got the car moving on stock motors and recaps .. if u had the right set up the recaps never faded and got better with each lap ..... so we did not lose anything . and saved alot of money .. that made the class grow and more folks in the stands .

i was to build new car it wont be a dirt car .but it owuld be racing dirt ..good old asphault would be the way to go .tracks are all trying to run dry slick now ..... jessies old car was better on dirt than what he has now ...we miss that old car ten years took its toll .

JUST LIKE ANY CLASS they start here and then end there . my son sold his car and just about to sell the motor to my brother for a loss which is ok on that to put in his 68 camero that is being restored . one of the main reasons was cost if u do not have 15 to 20thousand plus in a factory stock u are slow .. he needed to up grade the motor 2500 plus he needed 800 dallor shocks just to start plus other items . every year the factory stocks cost has gone way up in just three years . u can see some drivers taking and moving thier fatory stocks down to purestock ..dont know the rules on that class but it must be cheaper .. local i think four or five plus fatory stock racers are in that class ...so dirt track racing is no different... .. and the factory stock today are super stocks some have 10,000 i the motors alone if not having to change motors twice in a season and those are in the 5 grand up price .. ....that wont last to many more years and who knows what rule will be for next season .. and the process will start all over .ITS RACING FOLKS AND IT WILL NEVER CHANGE / START OUT CHEAPER . AND WORK YOUR WAY UP FROM THERE ..WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN FITS THE BILL .... TIRES that use to be the biggest cost . run a home built car with a stock motor and no fancy shocks brakes upper control arms or set back cages .. i find those cars make better dirt cars now with every track running dry .. .

AFTER THE 1989 season frank carpenter went to looking for a cheaper tire for our mini stock class . no one was running a cheaper tire in texas that we knew of mostly mccreary tires or eagleslicks .. . both cost . texas pro sedans was running mcceary and so did we at our local class up til 89 .. those tires were not cheap except in todays inflation ... the cost was running drivers off i think they were 60 bucks . i could not afford many new tires that year pocket national bank got me to the races but finishing in the front gave us food for the week and paid my way the next week races ... .. SO FRANK set out to find us something cheaper .. and he found a new tire distributor way up north being our class was run by the drivers he had their blessing in finding a tire ..the new company was TOWEL CITY RETREADS ... WHO ever heard of such a thing as retreads then called recaps ..we thought that was crazy and first thought was no way jose ..but htose guys promised we would not be disapointed and they were gald someone in texas would try them out three sets for free so three cars could test them with a garranty i they did not hold up any money spent would be returned or replacing the tires after words .so who could lose .at first we blisterd the tires not know what ar pressures and such to run .. then we found out those tires were directional and those were the best tires imo . i ran two season on three of them .. we even ran two cars at sas against the mccreary .and beat them in the end the tires got better and better with heat each lap was less stearing input ... but hit any dirt on the track u were in trouble ........ all the tires were shipped to us and we sold them to the teams at cost no profit . and not one of us even measured a tire for our cars till everyone else had the tires they wanted just to be fair ........ i turned and others turned the same lap times on recaps at cc and at tme faster during the race ....the best thing was everyone was on the same tire ..we never tried them on dirt ..i saw those tires on your dcrst cars rod .. those tires had come along ways in grooving and handling over 1990and 91 ..worth the price ..

thanks how much ..... u just never know who will drive up there ..

Looking for someone else .. A front nose for a 75 and up to i think 81 camero ........... 361 2902096 .. I KNOW SOMEONE MAY HAVE AN OLD ONE HIDING IN THE RAFTERS .. . GOING a restore ..
