84 z28 vortec superchaged car made it out of the trailer today.. put a new shifter cable in the car, for some reason 1st was park, and park was first?? i have no idea- so we tore down the transmission... later that day- rolled car in trailer- and went home.

Well.. I wish i could have posted up a new PB time, but here goes my great week story of all the headaches... I first entered just one car, my 1984 z-28 vortech 275 tire car, and a friend of mines jr dragster, well turned out that they (with the jr dragster) didnt want to go, so i was stuck with two tickets, which was ok, so i could take my 2001 ss camaro as well. So lets start with the 2001 Camaro SS- I needed rear tires for the car, so i was going to buy some at the Ford Weekend down at trails directly off of M/T, well there price of 538 dollars was not bad, but they looked at my wheels- and said they didnt want to mess them up, so i passed on buying them. Later that same day- i bought a set off a guy in the swap meet area, 350 dollars (brand new!) So i was really excited, i called Jegs- canceled my order, and took off to one of the two stores that were near by Jegs who could install the wheels. Well- i took it to firestone, i showed them my car, and i got (no problem, can do it!) So i was pumped... 3 hours later- they finally get my tires on the wheels/wheels on car. After hearing 3 guys all upset and basically banging my rims around (budnick wheels), i thought this wouldnt be pretty.. Yup- all nicked up, scratched up. So i told them, look these were not like this- took them down to wheel medic tuesday, and firestone paid the bill of 275.00.. ya.. So back to the 1984 z-28. I was in full hopes of getting the car out to the track today, knowing its been a year- been sitting in my inclosed trailer- and knowing that the brakes just were not up to par. So we started with replacing front lines.. Then wilwood master cyl, after bleeding 3 times- no good.. still no brakes.. Then we replaced the front hoses, no good.. then the calipers, finally! They were the problem.. ya after spending 300, i finally got it to stop- I took the car out on the street, shifted 1, 2, 3?? Third poped into neutral.. ya who knows... There was an adjustment that needed to be done on the shifter, and we tryed it again, but just wasnt going so well- (by this time it was 2:00- and only 3 hours left of track rental that i had spent 65 dollars on) So by this time, im thinking, ya know what- im just going to take my 01 ss down, at least make a couple passes, and call it a day.. So i tell my buddy to hop in, and we will go down to the track with my one car that is ready.. I started to pull out of the driveway (in the grass) and there was a little hump in the yard.. ya.. Those brand new 305/35/18 tires that i thought had no problem, just had a problem.. I cut the tread part of the tire up, to a point where it will not hurt the tire, but just looks horrible.. I ended up going down to the track at 4:00 today, drove the car, and did not even want to hit the track, probably just guessing that with my new mt's i probably would have dropped the t-56 out the back end, and just would have added more of a mess to the day... Had a bad day.. My Personal best at Ntr last year: 2001 ss camaro (stock bottom end) 2.42 60'/ 12.40@ 127 1984 z-28 left 2000rpm, first time out, lifted twice- 161 60'/11.24@126

I totally understand what your talking about, tires are key! I just picked up some m/t that are new, and im kinda excited to see if it will hook up..

Mustang want some?

My bad.. Just kinda figured people would know about it, being around columbus, and also being a car show for 10+ years? Its an all day event really, alot of cars to see- usually around 1000-1200 cars, even though the last 2 years it has dropped some in car count- still close to 1000 cars.. Some advice- if you want to get a good spot on the square- (not off in some alley) you will have to get at the show around 6-8 in the morning.. Im usually there around 6..

Light the night, Its on the square of downtown newark.. There is always 1000-1200 cars each year..

What time are you going up saturday? I would love to, if i can go a little while at the square over in Newark, then just leave from there..

Anyone going to it? Im going to head over saturday and park in the normal row of camaro's in front of the Mcdonalds..

Ill race you in reverse lol

I would sell my procharged car for that kinda money, and its clean, and nice..

Cool car! I was told about this car a week ago.. and was also told how much they had in it

I dont drink.. i have better things to do with my money.. like buy cars:)

same here.. i was excited to see it!

I have another car that i want to run, but i already bought for 2 different cars, and it was more than 21 dollars each?

Ive tried- looked at ntr and nothing.. oh well.
