Hey guy's, Just heard from Pitt, he is getting hammered down in FL... No power and all the goodies that go along with that..
He said he is getting by, with the grill, and beer..LOl.. Hope the water stays low so the cars and house stay dry..
Ernie
Juust got off the phone with Pitt, grillin' and drinkin' beer,,,,hmmm, sounds like the Fest, except there we have someone else do the grillin' for us so we can concentrate on drinkin'!!!!
Man, he got more rain in the last 3 days than we get here in 2 years!
See you guys in a few weeks!
Jimbo

Hey guys, the electric and cable finally came back on...thought I was gonna drink and eat myself to death.
Z is ready except for an oil change...I think it is Black enough now. Jimbo gave me a color chart of different shades of gray to black. He said when I hit the last and darkest color chip, go ahead and change it. It would break my new motor in better and seat the rings real good so I didn't get any ByBlow or something like that !! Jimbo is a good friend like that...always watching out for Team-Pitt !! He also said that my problem with tearing out the ring and pinion was I was launching too low of an rpm and not side stepping the clutch. He said Twins love the Side-Step. I think he was talking about the clutch anyway. He always did like TWINS
Ernie, Uvettya, Jimbo.....GET YOUR GAME ON...the water is receeding in Fl !!
Also, just got a PM from Mike (you know, the guy famous for belts ?? ) I have 4 more wheels for you guys to do battle with !!! Team Pitt is coming, so bring your friends, wifes & cameras to the Fest for a real show !! Hoooo-Hawwwww !!!
Pitt

Hey Jimbo,
where is the new inside vid of your car running thru the gears ???? Are the front wheels seeing light like Niclolbag ?? Come on man, your holding out on us.
Uvettya and I need a plan of attack. Ernie can hold his own !!!
How about during the night...we pay off the guard..then slap some 22" rims on Jimbo's 418 ??? I don't know, it may not work...then he may get some traction after all !
We better just plan on him having a heavy duty Hangover on raceday !!

Re: Ernie King & Zturd beware
... and traction is the key, brother Pitt. From a roll I can hang pretty good with the 600 hp guys until about a buck 30, but I'm through the traps by then at the drags. If they don't cut good lights and get the launch down - they'll be playing catch up. The faster your car is the harder it is to drive.

Well Jimbo has an animal 418 NA...we will see how he does !!

Hey Steve,
You're from the "western contingent"! WTF is this crap you teaming up with the "Florida Crackers"??????? Them southern boys are gonna find out what crow tastes like for sure! You wanna see a good light, check this out:
If you look close , you can see the reaction time in my lane about halfway through the run! Talk all the smack you want, remember, "The bullshit stops when the green flag drops!

Jimbo, it's not Steve's fault !!! He has to be nice to me because he needs my tires on Drag day...LOL He will be back to normal soon enough. Besides...us Crackers Know Sh*t...just remember I said that..
Finally got to drive the Z without any rain...feels pretty dang strong now...the top pulls hard now that I switched manifolds !! Hope to run some 1/8 mile runs Saturday night. Problem is... they are doing the Bracket racing so I will get busted for the rollbar rule right away (unless I roll out some 2.2 sixty foot times). Don't know if they will let me test\tune after that or not.
Ok Boys,
the Party is getting ready to start. A new Fast, fresh tune from the boys at EFIAlchemy, and we are ready to roll. I chose the weaker cam from Pete..still pretty choppy though. Idle is at 1050 rpm...vid below. MOV01417.flv - Video - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Bad news for this car war....some frickin how, Jimbo and Steve had their cars wiped out. Waiting on reports now. Steve supposedly has had a hit & run...no word on Jimbo's...reports of motor and car being F.... THIS IS SAD NEWS. Anything I can do to help guys, let me know !!!
