Just wanted to say that I had a great time meeting some of you at the Dragway 42 meet this Saturday. I raced my wife's 2006 Charger R/T. It is so close to STOCK that it hurts. It has a drop in K & N Filter, a 180 degree T-Stat, and a .25 cent Fan Mod (turns the cooling fan on). It has a run a best of 13.77 @ 101.77. On Saturday with the DA the best it ran was a 13.90 @ 100.42. This is even on the stock Goodyear Tires and full interior. The Charger's name is CHERRY as it is Inferno Red, has the 5.7 HEMI, she is our 1st HEMI. Anytime you have something for the 1st time it has a CHERRY.
We also have 3 Turbo Charged Mini Vans, one is Silver, one is Claret Red, and the last one is Twilight Blue. The Silver one is HOLATTA, because we spent a Holatta $$$ to get it to run fast and we took a Holatta weight out of it. This Mini is out quickest and fastest so far but has yet to make it down the 1/4 mile. We expect some low 12's. The Van runs 23 lbs of boost, has methanol fuel injection from Devil's Own, the biggest inter cooler that we could make fit, a T3/T4 Hybrid Garrett Turbo (super 50 trim, Stage 2 Wheel, and a .63 a/r housing), solid motor mounts and tranny mount, full manual valve body and a real nice converter.
The Claret Red Mini Van is RUBY and she blew up her motor about 4 years ago in Cincinnati. With her last motor she ran a 13.96 @ 98.14 with a Garrett Turbo T2 turbo on 18 psi of boost with drag radials. She will be sitting until at least Spring of 2010 when we will finally put in a SRT-4 Motor with an automatic transmission. Our goal is 12.80's.
The last Mini Van is S-T-R-E-T-C-H. That is Twlight Blue in color and it is a very rare Long Wheel Base model. It will be rebuilt over Spring/Summer 2009. I have been buying parts for this Mini for 2 years. It should be real nice driver and I am looking for 13.70's for it.
As for myself I work at a Cadillac & Saab Dealership as a Service Adviser. I work Mon to Fri from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm. I also put on Car Shows and Drag Racing Events as a Promoter. I have done Promotions since 1985 on and off. So far the Events have gotten on the Front Cover of 17 National Car Magazines. I am married and as of Tuesday 11-4-08 it will be for 33 years. We have 3 kids, Molly, Andy, and Bryan. My wife is the Asst Post Master of our local Post Office.
I look forward to talking to you.
Regards
Chuck
