Doc1647545523 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I've entered the 86 in the Ohio Mile in the G/BFSS (blown fuel super street) category this year. I was in Wilmington for registration and tech inspection Friday, then back today. Unfortunately I haven't run yet due to track delays and then wind delay (24-27 mph crosswinds). I return tomorrow first thing and hope to make at least one run. Here are some unedited photos from a point-and-shoot camera. The photos aren't so great but the cars and people are. Too low to race? http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/DSCN1037_zps52519b7e.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/DSCN0998_zps4ef52560.jpg A brace of Studebakers http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/DSCN1040_zps049c302a.jpg Saab story http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/Dscn1027_zpse5411b2e.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/DSCN1028_zpse6bb6b28.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/DSCN0999_zps32e88973.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/DSCN1032_zps09a62267.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/DSCN1026_zps81441722.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/DSCN1002_zpsfcf99bec.jpg NASCAR body based http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/DSCN1003_zps40ea2cb7.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/DSCN0994_zpsa08b05ff.jpg Trucks too http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/DSCN0990_zpsb13bdc94.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/DSCN0996_zps4f161206.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/DSCN1010_zps36f50bd0.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc1647545523 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 It ended up being a decent day over here in town. How was it out there on the pad? Saturday there were sprinkles early then clearing. However, crosswinds shut down the track from around 2 p.m. to close. Sunday was perfect. Dry, good temps, a breeze but nothing too strong to run. What's done to the FRS?

Doc1647545523 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 That's kind of you to say, but I'm revealed as a poser as soon as someone asks, "What have you done to the car?" and I have to admit that all I did was write checks and had a shop guide me through the process, beginning to end. I have a lot of envy when someone tells me how he diagnosed a car problem, envisioned the solution, engineered the fix, and then built it himself. But I sure do enjoy my cars.

Green Bastard Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Enjoyment is what we are all in it for, weather we built it or had someone else do it. I don't believe that makes you a poser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd only say you fall into the "poser" category if you tried to play it off as if you DID do all the work. No sweat Doc. Either way, impressive collection and it couldn't belong to a more deserving bloke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
