Bringin the family in the 4drvett this year, didn't get a chance to replace the flywheel on the Roady. See you all in the AM.

What happens if it breaks?

Can't break in a better place or around better people!

Yup, and he can fire the guy that keeps working on it

What just happened?

I think you got PWNED, is what I think.

I can't WAIT for tomorrow!!!!!

OOooooh! Lookee lookee!!!!

Damn that is a sweet plaque brah. Makes me sad I can't win it.

Bad News-me-no Impala. Nailed the cat flange on the ground too many times and could not cross the bridge so I parked it.
Good news I am here in Manchester via family ride.

Sorry guys....last minute change of plans. Im racing at the Valley tomorow.

Too many of my guys wanted to run at epping, but since there is the impala event, they wanted to charge them 200.00 a piece to race....so Unfortunatley I am running at Lebanon.

Sorry guys, but last minute. I didnt know so many of my customers were racing this weekend and needing tuning assistance.

Maybe next time.

what? not going to make it. man ive got a wallet full of cash. i was going to give you for a system. for my buick. no just kidding. see you next time.

Caught up with BK and crew here so might be out tonight. I saw the sexy exhaust on the Flambe

That sucks, Drew!

Sorry I couldn't make it up there tonight. I tried, but I've been getting stuff ready and packed since like 6pm! I think I have all I need now...

Guys, for tomorrow, if you're racing... DON'T FORGET LONG PANTS!!!!!! (there's always one! )

See all you nuts in the morning!


EDIT: Also, I have a few more club decals and some kickass airdam decals, too. I'll be taking another swag order too, so if you have cash, bring it!

It is 5 am

I'm going to wake Matt up. Wish me luck

Great time guys , we should make the NED thing a monthly run.

sooo what were some times?? Any vids!?

Still pissed I missed this. Maybe next year

I am very upset with my performance. I wonder what everyone was thinking when they saw my 17 second 1/4 times. I understand I was having trans issues but, for the time and money I put into my car, even though it isn't much, it should have done better than that. Damn you Crovo! This is why I didn't want to race, now I'm bummed out and embarrassed to have ran the worst time out of every driver at the track today. To top it all off, I red lighted on my last run. Now I am going to hastily sell my Regal and get a working transmission into this pig and go right back up there and see what she can really do.

Looks like fun, love to see some times. I can't wait till next year's, that is my due date for the LS swap!

Until then, allow me to live vicariously through you!

Doug

On another note, I had a great time taking meanss off the line and getting totally spanked by a 454 Impala SS! To my surprise, Kayla had a blast too! She said it was really exciting watching me race my car, even though she was passed out during one of my runs.

Click here for a vid of my first 1/4 mile run ever.

A special thanks to Bill Crovo for putting together the best badass drag day ever. You rock dude!

And thank you to everyone who came. You guys and gals made it fun as hell.

And to Jim for doing his best to keep the wood in New England. You were just two rounds from Winna Winna chicken dinna.

I ran a personal best in a b-body 15.093 running head to head against Crovo.

Tim, it aint racing if you dont break something.

So what is next for Badass. I am thinking some no rules driving out at concord airport. But that is just me.

I had a great time too! So did Bella and Keri-Lyn. We were all totally zonked by the time we got home! Holy crap was I tired! I did get a new best in the marshmallow, too! 15.1 @ 91, if I remember right. Pretty cool.

Thanks to everyone who helped me set up and tear down, too.

Congrats to Stew Drzod and Bill DeBlasio for taking the win and runner-up hardware home.


I sucked at taking pics this year, so I'll have to steal some of youz guys's...

Thanks for coming and I'm glad you had fun. How serious were the few guys we had who'd said they wanted a fall event too???

I think a fall event is the ticket.

Thanks to Bill for setting up the event.
Thanks to Bill for the "trophy".
Thanks to everyone that attended.

I was running around 15.

If I ever figure out how to post vids I'll put up the one Laura took of the mighty battle of the Bills. I know Crovo hasn't seen it yet.

Thanks Crovo for the event and for the parts
Thanks Billy for looking at my brakes and for the parts
Thanks everyone else for coming and putting on a show

And Drew next time you can just send the kid and stay at home. He's more entertaining (watch that Little Rascals movie too)

By the way I'm going to need tons of help getting my car ready to race for next years event. I'm sick of watching all the fun. So be prepared for alot of begging for assistance

Geezuz Jim! You can't be more on your dial that THAT! Holy Crap! nice light, too! You were killin' the tree all day and your car was running your number dead on! Proud of ya, man!

BIll I have no idea what happened but I'm still giddy.

I hope a little post race smack talk is not out of line?

Next run:


Hey I forgot they have AM radio. Well there wasn;t one in car anyway.

Good thing you lowered your dial-in. Takes a smart guy to listen to advice from the crowd of people who demanded you adjust for the weather. Nobody was bothering to help the other guys with their setups. I guess that means you really were the fan favorite that day

Awesome job boojum, hitting your dial in head on twice! Nice r/t's too!

You could take those 2 slips anywhere, anytime & everyone would be impressed.
Great job, I can tell you for a fact you had ALL the support from the grandstands.
Cant wait to see the ISSF posts, bet they all sing your praises as well.

BK said that when he realized there was a bye run coming he hoped he'd get it so he didn't have to face the local monster

And congratulations to Stew on the win. He seemed like a genuine nice guy.

Thanks for the support. I still think it was a fluke but don't tell that to the big dogs. It's nice to know that maybe they were a little nervous.

Tim, tough luck on the tranny. I wouldn't beat yourself up about the red light. If you race some more you're bound to occasionally see one. Stew got one against me, unfortunately so did I.

I'll just have to come back stronger next time! I really shouldn't worry about it, it was my first time after all.

Great pics everyone!

Hopefully George will sort through his pics
He had Turner shooting video & Matt taking snapshots
Timmys video even has Matt in it shooting from the bleachers
ASSuming they came out ok there should be plenty of behind the scenes shots

let me say this. it was the most guilt free time ive had in a long time. but without mark and larry sr. i couldnt have made it. im on a tight budget. i met bk stew. on our forum drew ,george. who i bought my tach from big as my head. (billymac) steve and his son. matt. brad (cant forget him or he,ll send me all kinds of e-mails) j/k mark drove down. like driving miss daisy. but i was hulk. billy c you made a old man happy. THANK YOU.

It was good to see ya Ron, glad you could make it out, even though you didn't run down the track!!!!

Glad you made it out Ron. I imagine it was fun riding down with Mark for a little while. Did he let you talk at all? I'm just messin with you guys. Mark is cool, I just don't get to pick on him enough

"Standard!"

lol

I'm glad you made it out, too, Ron. I'll eventuallyy get you to run that thing down the track!

And Tim, sorry I didn't get to talk to you in the lanes. I didn't realize that was your first time down the strip! You should have told me and I would have given you some pointers. Sorry I was a doosh and convinced you to run and then left you hanging. I feel bad. Had I known, I woulda been more "hands on." Sorry man!

Just out of curiosity....how many people woke up the next morning very sore and burnt to hell?

Here's a recap for those who missed out (in a picture book format)

I had a great time, was pretty frigin hot though
