Show off! LOL!

Good job!

I know you were at Norwalk and planned on coming by to see your car but never had the time to make the trip.

Maybe next year.

Thanks guys.The Pontiac was awesome this week.I have been running my rail for the last 4 months and hadn't won.Took the Bird out and win.Anyone looking for a nice 4-link dragster?

Default the win

Im glad you were able to pull one off this year.On the same weekend the super chevy show and race was in town and the weekend after the points ended.It was a tough bunch down there Im sure.I was at Volvo school for the new 16 liter engine training so I missed out.Maybe I need to give you some crap more often and you will win more.Brian

Wink Make that 2

I have won twice this year and got down to 3 cars at the $5,000 a month ago.I ran a guy you may have heard of in the semi's of the $5,000" Anthony Bertozzi?"I was .002 to his .008 and he nipped me by .003 at the stripe.That was in the 7th round of an 8 round race.I had 6 .00 lights in eliminations and my worst light was a .014.Oh yeah this was the final at Richmond last week...

...well,let's see 1st rnd I ran Pat,who has made the bracket finals team just about every year,2nd rnd Richie,who runnered-up a few weeks ago and is a very good racer,3rd rnd Kenny who finished 2nd in Richmonds Points this season,4th rnd Mike,who won last weekend,5th Gordon who is the Summit World Champ for Richmond this year,and 6th Adam who is one of the toughest racers at the track.

I'm just so sorry I didn't get to run you Brian,I'm sure it would have been the toughest round of the day...

Default BS

Jeff I thought about this BS some today and I have figured some things out.We measure success in two totaly different ways.You want to run every weekend and cost does not effect this because you can afford to do it.This is a good thing.I dont like to run in the heat and it is a hobby to me nothing more.I would rather work on other peoples cars and get positive feedback than run my own.Wayne Greens 65 went 10.31 a few weeks ago and has been going rounds every week.Mr. Pbodys engine has made more power than I expected and has had very minimal problems.The chassis I built for him has had no problems to speak of.This is good in my book.I took a chevy powered bird and converted it back to pontiac power.I would have thought you being the big pontiac guy you are would have stopped by and said a kind work at the track but big zero there.The only people I did not talk with this year was you and Jerry.Everyone else stopped by and shot the crap.I have spent a butt load of money building this shop and house and this is good to me.I am ok with who I am and what I am doing.If you dont like it go get focked I have never needed you and never will.Brian Ulrich

Default Spoken like a true gentleman

I'm glad you see things that way.I actually took a pic of Wayne's car last weekend.He has been going rounds.I have no problem with him or anyone else for that matter.You are the only one who runs his mouth and can't back it up.You have "never needed me and never will".....perfect.One less thing I have to worry about.
I also took a pic of Victor's car dialed 6.05 with the 474 I sold him this year.
Guess I'll see you at Pontiac's in the Park next year,hope you are ready by then.Helpful hint.....you will need to be in the 8's on motor to run with the Bird....peace.

It looks like we should preload the right rear shock a little more.We have not adjusted it at all since it left my place.Thanks for posting it.I cant afford to build a 8 second NA engine.I have researched this and the heads and intake are out of my price range for now.The bottle is much cheaper.Maybe Bob will let us have a grudge run at the VMP race.Brian
