Wow, now that ain't no good.

On another note. it's official -Amy's' car will not be ready to run at Maxton. :cry: :cry:been down with the flu? for 4 days and ain't looking good for the next couple of days.

Any one willing to let her make a pass or two. Maybe get her 125 licence?

She's more than welcome to take Mom's car down but I'll be amazed if it breaks 100 so I'm not sure that will take her toward her goal.  Still, it's available.  Brother Dave and I have a bet on who will run the fastest - slow brother buys dinner at some fancy joint (maybe McDuff's) on Sunday night.  Other than that anyone can take a pass as long as they have a brain box.

Thanks Dan you da man, a pass is a pass at this stage of the game. She'll bring her HANS device and fire suit. If I haven't contaninated her. I think Amy would want to go even if she was die'n. Good girl :-D

Getting sick.  A tornado.  It sounds like bad mojo.  This is temporary.  Be extra careful.

Wobbly, If it weren't for bad mojo I wouldn't have any at all. Just another challenge in life to over come. Gotta love it, just keep on truck'n :cheers:

The Hans and fire suit are a bit of overkill.  We're talking a bone stock 1987 Chevy Celebrity 4 door, 4 cylinder, auto.  I plan to make major mods to it tomorrow (I'll cut the pipe into the cat mostly to bypass the stock exhaust system) and it has a fresh tune up and oil change (Castrol GTX - that's 10 HP right there!).  It features an OEM 3 point restraint system.  So a brain box and long pants may do it (I'll have the jacket for my suit).  Still, when it comes to safety, too much is just right.

We are thinking of having Amy walk the staging lane with a sign "will by you lunch for a pass" :-D or "will go into town to get you the beverage of you choice" :cheers:

No need for that.  Happy to have her beat my butt in the Celeb.

All good fun Dan, If she can squeeze 112.625Mph out of the little red KIA Spectra it would be interesting what she can get out of your American iron :-D

I'm well along in my performance modifications on the Celebrity.  I now have a proper battery hold down in place and new filters, plugs and wires.  The wires on that thing are a real PITA!  Between the back of the engine and the firewall and there's not much room there.  I can't see how you'd do it without a hoist.  The old ones seem to be OEM so I'm thinking it may actually help.  That and the old plugs (while not original) looked pretty whipped.  So can it make 100?  Probably not but.......

Exhaust mods tomorrow.
