wow we talked about the P-38, then about each other, then about military MOS, then about cars, hum yes I once saw a 69 dodge dart with a 340 in it get beaten by a vw bug at maple grove race way in Pa. I think the bug ran an 11.19 and the dodge ran a 11.21. something like that. I laughed when I saw the bug cause you could hear it had a bug motor in it. (sounds like a big japanes bike with a kirker on it) the mopar left the bug at the line, but man that bug sure caught up after that and just passed it at the finish line. I had to go to the pit to make sure, and yep it had a bug motor, well 4 cyl aluminum air cooled motor. it wasnt running a small block is what I am saying.

Oh yah. I got some friends that were big into sand rails. They had some bad bug engines. They would get up and move. Getting a bug to run much over 120mph in the 1/4 is hard. The mid 11's is about as fast as most can go using an original engine as the basic build up. 11's and under is when your V8 cars start to shine.

I got Slim Whitman's autograph once.

No joke......saw him eating in a restuarant by himself, so for kicks, went up and asked him for it. Those annoying TV commercials of his were on at the time.

S! all

You guys who drive cars are all wussies... Heck, my ZX-9 is faster in the quarter mile than a lot of pro-stockers or modifieds and it is mostly stock. (Cept for jets and Pipes) Plus it'll leave them in the dust when it comes to top speed. (Close to 170) Get a Bike!

Oh man that's cool! Thanks for the post. It's on the old part of the track. The bad bellybutton track not the wimpy new track. The one AutoUnion's and Mercedes ran on in the old days when men were men.

Cool!

The peoples car! Yep, then came the Tiger.

There's a neat old movie out there called King of the Mountain I think. It has Dennis Hopper in it. I can't remember the name of the main character. The main character drives a cool Speedster that's all tricked out.

Close. Even in BigWeeks hay-day I'm not sure we talked about WWII aircombat, the pilots or the plane as much as in this forumn. But the topics do stray rather wildly as those do

Thank cod for the O-club where the religious, political and educational topics ferment.
