How about all season radial tires (stock size) and no trailers. If someone has a 700 hp car that fits that bill and they can put the power down on all season radials they have my vote as the baddest grocery getter in the club.

Gonna kick me out of the running right off the bat huh?

Count me in for any events I can make it to. I'm more of a track day guy, even if it's just tagging onto a test n tune. I'd like to see us try an event at Pacemakers. If CR wants to try another car show I'd be happy to help in any way I can (short of being in charge, I have my hands full with the show I run for the school).

I've been to Lancaster for the combine demo derby, it was well worth it.

Message Duff on here, I assume he can offer some insights.

1. Get the dragster out more, 8.49 is my best quarter, I want bottom of the 8's 2. Get the Camaro back on the street. I miss having a fun street car 3. Get the Harley out some more, maybe Tail of the Dragon or one of the other options mentioned above. Either way I'm done with schooling for a while, so it's time to have some fun this summer. Not car related, but last summer I popped my 1000 yard cherry. This summer I want to hit a target at a mile.

My first inclination is to say "DUH! BOOST!" But I have to admit I'm curious how far you could push his NA. Since it's all factory parts I assume the concept is budget minded not cubic dollars to make eleventy billion horse power.

I've got a hand crank pump if you need it.

If you compare apples to apples on ammo, the 6.5 and the .308 are very similar in price to shoot. I just checked Midway supplies, and the Hornady Match grade ammunition is within $0.10 per round price between the 6.5 and the .308. It's a little expensive to feed, so I started reloading. That's a new fun hobby as well. I'm considering the Ruger Precision Rimfire for exactly the same reason. .22LR is just fun.

If you haven't tried 6.5 Creedmoor you need to before you go buying a .308 I've been kicking around the idea of a .338 Lapua Mag, but I really cannot justify the cost. I've hit targets with the 6.5 at 1000 yards, and with some luck I think it will carry to a mile. Beyond a mile I'm not sure where I would shoot in Ohio. 50 has to be a real treat to shoot, but again finding a place to stretch it's legs and really have some fun is a problem. I did get a chance to shoot Bob's .408 Cheytac and it gave me a woody. I really do want the .338 but even though I reload it's going to be roughly a $5000 investment if I do between the rifle (Ruger Precision Rifle), Glass (Vortex Razor), Reloading dies and supplies, etc... (200 pieces of Lapua brass, bullets, primers, powder)

Sounds like she needs to build back her base of friends. Maybe join a social club or two around a hobby or interest. Most clubs seem to meet once a month somewhere. It would put her in a room with people she automatically has a connection with. Go out with coworkers on Friday after work (or whatever is the equivalent if she works an odd shift). Take a class somewhere on something she is interested in, Columbus Idea Foundry for instance offers workshops on all sorts of things. In my mind the big thing is to get out and put yourself in places where people have similar interests, so you automatically have something in common to talk about.

Looks great to me man, guess you really can polish a turd.

No, Cameron got out a while ago. Right now CBC is owned by Eric Bean. I did some poking around in google. Apparently they settled the legal beef about a year ago, and the restaurant was going to change it's name to OxBow on Short. This article has some of the details. https://www.columbusunderground.com/plans-for-oxbow-on-short-cancelled-as-cbc-restaurant-closes-permanently-ls1 Plans for Oxbow on Short Cancelled as CBC Restaurant Closes Permanently July 30, 2018 9:02 amLauren Sega Lauren SegaPlans for Oxbow on Short Cancelled as CBC Restaurant Closes PermanentlyPhoto via Google. Decrease Font SizeIncrease Font SizeText SizePrint This PageSend by Email Email When the announcement came that CBC Restaurant would permanently close on Sunday, July 29, it was a surprise to many Columbus diners. The restaurant had only just revealed plans for an interior transformation and a rebrand into Oxbow on Short, expected to open later this fall. Plans changed, according to a Facebook post, due to the health of owner Doug Griggs, who’s been in the hospital for several months. “Owner, Doug Griggs has been very sick and in the hospital for a few months now, he is currently unable to perform the restaurant remodel from CBC to Oxbow on Short,” CBC Restaurant commented on their original post, answering confused Facebook followers asking about the reopening. “As our hearts are breaking for the restaurant, we ask all of you to send thoughts and prayers to him and his family.” CBC Restaurant originally opened 21 years ago and has been a Brewery District staple ever since. Originally owned by Cameron Mitchell Restaurants, it changed hands in 2006, then owned by Griggs and business partner Mike Campbell. They’ve offered traditional American fare for lunch and dinner at their spot at 525 Short St. and had planned on a total remodel and menu revamp. CBC Restaurant gave relatively short notice of their closure, announcing it just a day before. “Unfortunately, tomorrow will be our last day as CBC Restaurant. Please come say goodbye and celebrate a great 21 years of getting to know each and every one of you,” their original Facebook post read. “Thank you for all the memories and years of support. We are truly grateful!” For more information, visit their Facebook page.

Yeah, this was a mess. The current owner of CBC (brewery) was not the owner when they teamed up with Cameron Mitchel. When the restaurant got sold, and then the brewery got sold they were under completely different ownership. The brewery was in real trouble at that point. The new owner really knows his stuff and brought them back from the brink. The last I had heard there was a law suit going on between them to force to restaurant to change it's name.

Nobody is saying anything, nobody knows anything. Even those of us who know Dan didn't have any idea this was coming. it was a shock to the home brewers in the area. Personally I was wondering how close to saturation the market was. The craft beer world is littered with breweries that expanded too big too fast and couldn't sustain the extra debt and costs. Doubt you're going to see Lineage go anywhere anytime soon. Mike and Carey have planned out that brewery pretty well, and have figured out their demographic. Personally I like their beers, and I like the brewery. The only central Ohio brewery poised to go beyond central Ohio with any real substance is CBC. They are selling so much beer that their tap room has been delayed for years now because they are having trouble meeting demand. I'm sure we'll continue to see new breweries open on a regular basis, but we'll also see the lesser quality offerings start to go by the wayside as people have more choices. If anyone hasn't checked it out, one of my favorites is Sideswipe. They are not far from where 4 String was located. There is some crap out there as well. Most of it is in rural areas without any competition though, so they will survive a while.

I've worked in Plain City for almost 20 years now and I've never heard of them. They have some pretty cool cars on their google photos page. Sorry I can't help.

Spray brake cleaner on a rag, and wipe the air hose off. Brake clean takes care of everything.

Two thoughts. We used to think that power came from the bottom end of the motor, hence displacement going up and up and up. We know now that power comes from the top end. My vote is the slickest set of modern heads that fit in your budget. The second is more of a question. For a street driven motor, why go with a forged crank? My understanding is the concern is a forged crank is stronger, but also more brittle. The vibration of normal use can cause stress fractures that will eventually cause the crank to break. If you're not talking about high dollar heads, then are you really going to be making enough power that a cast crank can't handle it?

If you're looking for cheap angle iron, I have bought bed frames from the Volunteers of America on Broad St. and chopped them up with an angle grinder with a cut off wheel. That's what I built my welding cart out of.

Checking with a friend, it's a long shot though.

Do you not have a key? The only time I've used a lock smith was when I bought a truck without a key (crackhead cheap deal and I knew it was a running driving truck). If you have a key you can probably get another at a key shop, or order a blank online and have it cut anywhere with a key machine. I'd order a FOB online as well. I'm sure you can find tutorials on how to program it on youtube. All that said, I don't know what specific car or key you have, so if it's something different than a regular key then all bets are off.

It wasn't long ago was it those were top fuel kind of numbers.

Thanks! I'll let you know as soon as I hear back from him.

Based on everything you are saying this is my thought as well. I would try a firmware update to see if that changes anything, but there really isn't anything else to do.
