Popular Post CHERRY Posted November 3, 2008 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 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.

CHERRY Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Thanks guys for the warm welcome. Jim, I am so sorry that I did not get your voltage regulator, I felt bad not. Anthony, your Pontiac just flat flys, I was very impressed. Although I would have liked it more if the exhaust was quieter. Anytime you guys have a Track Rental I am so there. Mike S, as always you are a Great Friend and I for one am glad to know you. As for all of you asking for pictures of the Minis, I will post them as soon as I figure out how. I am not the best with a computer. My son does have some up on UTube under Bgreen ????. You can see him takin on EVOS and Vettes at Dragway 42.

Yes Paul that was me. You and I raced a couple of times. I would love to sit down with you and train you personally on how to Drag Race. You seem to love it as you made 20 passes or so. I have been racing for 35 years and I can show you some secrets if you would like to learn. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Welcome. yeah Paul. I couldn't launch your car for shit! lolz. OR drive it. I've NEVER driven a stick at the track and haven't really driven a stick in quite some time. I think my best time in your car was a 14.8 @ 99 with a 2.5 60'.s LOL Nice meeting you Chuck. I know you wanted me to race the green Daytona but right as you asked me my MAF was taking a dive. I was just warming up too Good times. At least I was able to unplug the maf and drive home and not have it towed home . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have come down to Reaction Times for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
