Pomona NHRA Cruise

[blown67]

Mario,
The date for the June cruise is the 7th.
Chuck,
Mario and I want to know if you are going to have the new and improved wagon out there, so we can check it out. We hope to catch up with the Nova locals up that way. Dale? Dave? Jim?
Lates,
Brian

I should be able to make it. I'll make sure I take the Nova.

Why on a WED? When I'm at work and the 57 North is CRAP!

hey, I have to make that same trip, so stop your whining.:D

[NEVER FINISHED64]

You don't hear us whining about getting up before 5 to go buy donuts.
Here you can have yourself some beer and tri tip steak sandwiches.

Maybe after checking out some of Mikes pictures to see what cars show up it wont feel like such a bad drive.

I should be there.

hey there, i get back from Cabo on the 5th. so if you guys are planning on going i figure i could wake the car up to get over to Pomona right after work and be there too.:D

[blown67]

Mario,
How's the back and what time are you free to leave on the 7th? I was thinking about driving the 67............ If your back isn't up to it, we'll take something else........

NovaJoe & CraigT,
If you guys read this, I am not going to make Irwindale next week or the June PSCA race in Fontana. I have some commitments and the 70 won't be able to go out until after that.
Brian

[teddisnoke]

I'll see you guys at Pomona.It would be nice(but impossible ) to group up together. Maybe it'll happen.

[bowtie0069]

I'll try and make it, but I really don't like taking my car out with this engine--it's embarrassing!

Brian Just keep us posted Brian. I would really like to make one of the PSCA races. The Pomona Twilight cruise sounds fun too. Maybe if I leave tomorrow I could be there by the 7th!! (It's that "gear" thing again!!) What do you think Wayne, can we get the two "silver streaks" back together again??
Joe

[bowtie0069]

It's that "gear" thing again!!

I drove mine to Carlsbad with 4.56's and a 26" tire; can you say slow lane!

[blown67]

I got 3:90's with a 29.5......... So it's about 3,100 rpm on the freeway..... I worry more about overheating in the stop and go traffic.
Will keep you posted, Joe. I guess I'm due for a donut run soon, anyway.

['69Novajoe]

Yeah, gears are no fun on the freeway! I'm showing about 3200 @ 55mph.
What does 3100 get you Brian?? And 4:56's with a 26" tire is how fast bowtie? We should all just hook up to cruise the slow lane sometime!!

[blown67]

I think I am doing around 65 ..... But everyone is blowing by me anyways.

[bowtie0069]

And 4:56's with a 26" tire is how fast bowtie?

It's in the 50's at 3500--I have 4.30's now, and with the 28" slick it's a little better, around 65mph at 3500

Thanks for the update Brian. I should be picking mine up Monday from wiring. I hope to fire it this week if all goes well!

Craig,
Hope to see it out soon. Maybe the Black Classics car show in August?
Brian

[teddisnoke]

Brian- what is the "Black Classic's" car show? Craig- good to hear you are getting the car back. Summer is coming quick. Better start marking down events! Dale

Dale,

It is a car show in Compton or Gardena that I went to last year with my buddy and met Brian there to check out the '70 as he had just finished it. I'd say it had the most show and you know they go cars of any show I've been to. It's at this little park and people cruise through and I am sure there are a few street races that come out of it. When everyone leaves, the cops turn their heads a little and it gets a little insane. I'd recommend going if you never have.

Craig

[blown67]

Dale,
No imports, or late model trucks....... Mostly 60's and 70's muscle cars, street racers, mid 50's trucks, og restores, with a couple of low riders thrown in. Here is a pic from last year. The gold gen 2 runs 8:70's, the late model Camaro 9:20's, the blue 68 Camaro, 8:00's, the gold gen 3, 8:65, the blue gen 3, has been 8:13 on a 275 drag radial and cal trac bars, the red gen 3 has been 9:18, you can barely see the bumper of a teal gen 3 that runs 10:20's. All the cars race in the PSCA. I think the show is the second weekend in August........
Brian

[Cage]

Ummm. Is there an open header contest too?:eek:

Mark

[blown67]

They all have mufflers, but you could've fooled me.:rolleyes:

[waynew]

Joeman,

Sounds fun!

I should get my bumpers out of the chrome shop this week.

I'm still handrubbing the oxidation off and most of what's left of the paint with it. :> Should be done by then.

See ya there.

Wayne

[kracon]

Well now I find out I have to drive down to San Diego with my boss on WED.

So there is NO WAY to bail on work. :mad: :p

[1qwikss]

so is anyone still planning on going to the cruise this wednesday?

[bowtie0069]

If I don't forget, I'll go. I've forgotten the last.........mmmm....Hell, I can't remember!

[NEVER FINISHED64]

I'll be there. What time is every one showing up and whats the possibility of meeting up earlier?
I may be able to get out of work early, so maybe I should stay off this board so I can get something done:( .

['69Novajoe]

Man, I am totally bummed! Work has been kinda slow the past 3-4 weeks, so I thought it would be no problem to make the cruise. Well, a big job that I've been waiting for finally started this week. I put in 9 hours today and will probably do the same tomorrow!! No fun for the weary this time. But I think I smell coffee and donuts for Saturday!! Sorry Wayne, I really wanted to see your car in person with the new wheels and stuff.
Joe

[undercvrSS]

By the time I go home and get the nova, I'll be there around 5. see ya there.

[teddisnoke]

I can't make it- daughter is getting academic awards. Sorry- but when yer kid is gettin straight A's, ya gotta soak it in ! ! ! Morgans driving my black bomber there- be kind to him. Smile for his camera:) :) :) I'll see some of you on Sunday at Long Beach ? ? ?

[blown67]

Dale,
Sorry we are going to miss you. Me and Mario are leaving now. Hope to see the rest of you there. If you see me pulled over on the freeway, overheated, wave as you go by......

[NEVER FINISHED64]

I had a great time talking to every one. I even think Marilyn is starting to understand everyone's fasination with cars and why we spend so much time on them.
I think her favorite car was the green RatRod slammed to the ground with the hidden LS1 that was once a yellow trailer queen. She got a kick out of people looking at it and not getting it.

I finally got to see Mario's new wheels, I never thought youd be able to get
8" wheels under the back.

Got to see Billy Gibons of ZZ Top and this morning I remebered I had his CD in the car I could of had him sign.

[1qwikss]

it was nice to get out and meet up with you guys again(brian,mario,chuck).i saw dave around there somewhere but didn't get around to saying hi-sorry. there were some nice cars to see out there. i guess next time i need to make sure and get there much earlier.
and Dale: a big congratulations to your daughter!

[blown67]

Glad I made it out there and hung out with all-y'all. Dale, nice 56. Hope to see you all soon, again.
Brian
