      yea we got rained on right before drag racing started. I don't care about roll racing...there was like 4 hours of roll racing. Thats what you do if you don't have a track IMO. Got a little bit of video and a couple fun cars but I spent more time waiting on them to check the track and there were probably two cleanups for oil and about 100 times the fucking tractor "prepped" the track...if they were going for 6 sec ETs or top fuel cars I can understand but fuck it killed it ALL day. It would be every 3-4 cars they would prep it for a half hour. But whatever I still had a good time, drank some beer during the rain and only left 20 mins early because I soaked and it was getting cold. I'll race next year, I just gotta get the rear axles swapped out in the V.

      have you ever ran on a shitty prepped track?  Getting sideways at 90 isnt fun

      nope, just some test and tunes at Richmond and MIR (nhra level track) although their prep was done a lot better and faster. And I get it, I am not an idiot and I realize why they are doing it. I think more of the issue was the team working the event redid their prep like 3 times each time they checked the track so think of the normal prep...and triple it...every two cars. 

       

       

  6. found out my regulator for my tig welder is f'ed which may explain the shit welds...I am learning so I am guessing its that and about 1000 other things. New tungsten/Bottle/Regulator...we'll see how things look tomorrow. 

  7. nice! my antique ass has an easier time reading the red and black instead of the blue. I like all the changes, keep it comin.

      Nothing really, I spend too much time on here I think I have taken a couple things personally for no good reason. So I am going to take a step back. This isn't a negative thing. Also I have a whole damn build that I need to do that I haven't even really started because of car issues. Gonna hibernate from the internet until its done.

      Lucky to live in a house with a few people I trust. I miss my old postie, used to leave the stuff inside my doorway.

  20. finally done with my brakes, rear rotors we basically fuzed to the parking brake pads. And a bolt was seized up in the caliper bracket so I had to break out a tap and die to clean out the threads. And because I DGAF at the moment, beer and cherrios for breakfast at 1pm...

  21. TDH Lockhart was awesome, wish I could have had my stuff in the car to get it metered but good times. Vids and pics to follow.

  22. Does anyone use external mic's for bass videos?

    1. _paralyzed_

      _paralyzed_

      There is no point, you're still limited by the camera's speakers (or whatever they are watching it on) to reproduce the sound.

    2. _paralyzed_

      _paralyzed_

      I meant phone's speakers, but the point is the same. There is no way to reproduce the sound of a particular system without reproducing the system...

Ironically, high technology, once thought to be the savior of civilization, has become our Alaric the First, our barbarian invasion.

  24. anyone have a notchback they wanna sell me cheap? :) I am ok with rollers (no drivetrain)

    1. Broke_Audio_Addict

      Broke_Audio_Addict

      I remember back in the day before notchbacks got popular you could grab one running and driving for $500.

    2. aculous

      aculous

      I know! fuckers are like 6K$ minimum right now. I can get a fastback for 300$ right now...notchback is probably not worth it at this point. And I am just going to hotrod it with a LS anyway so I don't give a shit about the drivetrain really I just want the body and suspension.

      Good luck. I've resorted to just not even trying to find one. Might as well be different and make a vert fast. Well, it already is lol.

  25. Holy god this is taking forever. Re-encoding my music collection...from cd to FLAC. Hour 3 just went by...
