O/C Roll Call

[FlashBack]

Just checking in on the new board here...Looks Good People!

Gene Hinders
O/C #8

[Jamie Rickman]

Hey Gene. We'll be in for 6 or so events this year. Can't wait for Florida. Car is apart right now so I've got some long nights ahead. We've been fortunate enough to gain some great sponsors to help offset expense.:)

Flames look Cool!!!!:D

[Larry Geddes]

I caught you in here on this newly formatted board.

Take care and keep in touch

[Jamie Rickman]

Did anybody else notice that Weld quit paying contingency in OC? or did I mis read the contingency matrix. Lots of cars in OC run weld wheels.

What would be the correct course of action to get them to rethink this?

[paul petty]

hey guys i'll be there this year too hope the trans holds up better this year then last see all in fl paul o/c9015

[FlashBack]

Thanks for the compliment on the "new look" FlashBack!
The car's been the same (except for decal placements) since 1991 and it was time for a bit of a change...still like the Grabber Blue too much to make any wholesale change though.

Hoping to be able to get to 4 to 6 events this season...plus we've got a few local Open Comp events that we help put on as well at Cedar Falls Raceway and Tri-State Raceway both tracks here in Iowa.

See ya...probably not in Florida though...unfortunately!!
Gene

ps....still waiting on a contingency check...I've called the manufacter themselves...still waiting...have you had all of yours taken care of??? Anyone else?????


Hey Larry....The computers working pretty well since the Screen was cleaned :D

[Jamie Rickman]

Which ones are you waiting on? Weld??? Anyway I have been paid by all. Took some much longer than others but all have paid.

Let me know if it is Weld I have a contact name for them. I am going to call in the morning and talk to them about dropping contingency in OC. I hope they will reconsider.

[FlashBack]

Had Weld's for years on the car...switched to Bogarts....BOOM! Weld becomes a contingency sponsor...just my luck!

No, it wasn't Weld...I've talked to the manufacterer in question and I've been told a few checks weren't taken care of back in August and that the check was sent last week...

I phoned all of the ones we were waiting for in Sept (race was in July)...they started filtering in from that point on...up until December actually.

nice flames gene. are the o/c races at cfr and tri-state open to all or are they for fords only???

[FlashBack]

Didn't get a chance to head down to the swapmeet today ( I was up to Joe's place, Midnight Machining, getting the 383 stuff sorted out)...Terri went with the CFR schedule and banquet tickets (did ya get some of each?)...could've yacked with ya there...if you were there again that is?
Anyway...the races are open to all brands as long as they meet the rules...mainly: door cars only, no delayboxes etc...just check on the PRO Open Comp rules and your about there except we have had an upper ET limit as well as the 9.10 lower limit.
In fact a BowTie brand vehicle won the Fall race last year...I slipped up in the semi's.
Catch ya later,

G-Block.

[T-Bone]

no, I didn't go to the swap meet, didn't feel like 4 hrs in the car for 1 hr of bs'ing. How you coming on the engine? we are doing a new 476 with a big m dart block....looks to be a pretty nice piece when I get her done...hopefully by the 1st of march. see ya at the banquet.

[FlashBack]

Had to pass on the Dart block for now...coming up with enough for the rest of the required parts is going to be rough enough. Trying to have it buttoned up sometime in March as well.

See ya at the banquet.

I think I'll run some O/C events this year also. I was planing on Pro Stock but I have 54 gals of VP C14+ to burn up now :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
Gene showed me the ropes in Memphis last year & it was awsome. Thanks Gene:D

[FlashBack]

Don't forget to bring a few steaks down with ya bud :D
You planning on some PRO and NMRA events or more one than the other??

G-Block

[markstang]

I don't know what I'll run this year Pro or NMRA, the VP ordeal is somewhat upsetting. I would like to use my car as it was ment to be used in Pro Stock or Hot Street, & I have 40 gal of VP C14+ at $8.75 a gal. :mad:

I have an event in Fargo in August & also looking at www.naturaloutlaws.com anything thats all motor stuff. I'll do a few O/C stuff with you guys, I mite put together a differnt motor just for O/C duty.
WFC for shure, Igot a room booked all ready & I think I'll do some testing in St Louis before hand.
I have been real busy at work so I don't know what the race season will be like.

Later Mark

[FlashBack]

Mark,
Yeah, we're going to have to see what $$ is available to travel with this season but hoping to make the WFC, a few of the PRO races, and if possible an NMRA event too.
The P/Stk H/S classes are out of the budget for us...made it to one event in that class and I'm glad we took a shot albeit with a wounded engine...
As far as your fuel situation goes I can sympathize...we'd bought a drum of Sunoco a few years back and then they announced that the spec fuels were to be VP and Torco.
Good luck with your program!!
We'll see ya at the tracks!!
