why does this car always have to run in 40 degree weather and on a downhill track to run it's numbers?

because not everyone can get to Atco

I got one better

We can find a trailer if you want to go to cecil.

Any day I want my car to go 3 or 4 tenths faster than anywhere else on the east coast I'd go to cecil

You are missing the point or should I say ignoring it!

If this car is so fast then why does it have to run in those conditions especially when he is what less than an hour from PRP!

Like I said BSD in late July on a sat TNT and I'm here to say it doesn't even run 10's let alone a mid 10

a 10.6 is a 10.6 no matter what the conditions. I don't understand what the issue is. The track doesn't matter...the time slips do!

And if anyone's upset at their times, then maybe they should run at Cecil if it truly is "faster". I certainly would

so u are telling me that no matter were u are at in the world the same car will run the same times, if thats the case u have no idea what u are talking about, there are so many factors that play a role from track to track. i was talking to people that race at beaver and then made a trip to mri, same car un touched from one weekend to the next picking up almost a half a second. with weather conditions almost the same as far as temperature. as far as the 10.6 at cecil thats great in all but i also asked this same question in another thread about why this has to take place in cecil county when there is a drag strip that close to him. everytime i have heard anything about this car being on a race track it has been that one.

I meant that a 10.6 is a 10.6. If it was run in death valley or on the California coast in the fall...who cares, it's still a 10.6 Sorry should have explained that a little better in my prior post.

I can't speak for Joe but I assume he is racing at cecil for the same reasons I used to. Its a great track with great people working it, there are a lot of great people that attend the event, and its also a mustang track rental day where you get multiple runs on a very well prepped surface unlike most of the tracks around here. I used to go to PRP every week for TNT until I started going to cecil. All in all, I spent the same amount of money to race at Cecil twice a year at the SSOTN events as I did going weekly to PRP. In doing so I was actually able to test and tune my car since I got more than 2-3 runs in, and it didn't require as much beating on the car as did weekly trips to PRP. Also, the track was very prepped and therefore consistent. I got more enjoyment, and more data from racing at Cecil twice a year than I ever did racing weekly at PRP. Like I said, I can't speak for Joe but I suspect that these things play just as an important role in him racing there as the fact that its a faster track than PRP.

i have ran at all the tracks prp ,beaver , cecil and mason i lke mason the best only because of how close it is, cecil is next then prp, beavers people are nice, but i just can't get any traction there , i ran at cecil 3 years ago and hooked so hard i almost stalled the car lol

And I guess the question of who wants the teardown will go un-answered as will whats the purpose of the tear down?

x2...& let's not forget about the mystery gears installed in Cam's S197...lol

[2001GTTT]

Who cares where joe is gonna run his car and tear it down....its not your car, so keep your doubts to yourself until you see the car in person, I would go to norwalk every week instead of prp because thats where i ran my best time and thats where i can get traction.....As for the question of WHY this tear down is taking place, i wanna know too. Whats goin on joe??

[Pure Stock]

The purposes of the teardown are:

1. To dispell the myths associated with the combination.

2. To document the claims of said cubic inch displacement.

3. To illustrate the potential of a stock bottom end 302

4. Examine piston valve reliefs, revealing no flycutting was executed

[Viper_ed]

Face it Joe, you just need something to do!

[Pure Stock]

Face it Joe, you just need something to do!

Speaking of needing to do something, open that 8.8" inspection cover. :D

The gears are 4.56's......no more mystery!!!

I guess I do have 2 of those that have never been opened up yet. ;)

[yeahloh95]

thats what i would have put in

[gmkillr]

Joe, Who's saying your claims aren't true? Too bad I cant be there this year, the car won't be ready and neither will I.
Good luck down there!
