Good luck brotha! wish I was there to help.

 

Thanks! All this motor pulling and assembling is taking a serious toll on me. Just a few more days. I guess it's good cuz it's making me lose weight for race day lol

 

Was that block built?

 

Yes.

 

So, you're gonna make it to MIR I guess?

 

Yea but I'm finishing putting stock block back in tonight. Should have some numbers or lots of paper weights soon
I will be there regardless. Whether I'm running my car will be determined in next few days

 

Ride till the wheels fall off!

 

I've seen him almost do this.

Kept launching it, till he snapped an axle. Then, jacked it up in the staging lanes and swapped it out, in 38* temp. True story.

 

That's why I posted that.

 

That's funny sheeit!

Well, it's official, I won't make it. Honestly speaking, I am pretty busy with work still and after this little rush I am very slow most of winter. Guy is coming from Chicago to pick up a car on Saturday and I should be here for him. I have peeps that can cover for me but it's much better that I am here for him. I am going to go to Atco on Friday though and get in a couple of runs so I will have an idea of what I am running.

I hope you all run strong and have a great time.

 

You wanna ride up there Elliot?
I'm on the fence about it. I'm putting the MID engine in the CLS tonight, if things go smoothly I'm up for a road trip if you wanna shoot (no pun intended haha)up there for the weekend...

 

Haha
Good times lol. I've done that 4 times. The first time I towed it home then the next 4 I brought spares lol. Won't happen again unless I make over 1500whp lol
No worries. Have fun at ATCO. Good luck and be safe! Report back with results.
I will answer for Elliot. Yes he does want to ride up here and hang out lol. And don't worry about putting the Sleeved block in your CLS. Just bring it up on a truck Friday morning and I will have it in my car Saturday for MIR lol

 

It looks like low 50s for this Saturday

Can't do that but I'll donate you the 59k mile stock engine out of it and you can play " let's see what happens if we_____ " with it just put a diaper on the back of it to catch all the parts

I'm in if still room.

09 Black C63, Kleeman Stage II tune, Kleeman headers. Still looking to get out of the 12s....yes 12s.
I know!

 

My guess is that there is room for 10 more...get ready and enjoy!

 

Cars are dropping like flies form this event. Is this event still a go?

I am planning on leaving Chicago at about 4 am Friday morning to head east to MD.

What time do gates open at track on Saturday morning?

 

Isn't it a 10 hr drive from Chitown?

I think MIR opens before 11 a.m. Don't quote me, though..

 

Since my car won't be ready in time my wife and I will be doing this on the 16th. http://www.theultimatetitan.com/


Who all is still going to be racing? I really wish I could be there but my stars don't always align. Besides, it was a ***** making these turbos fit in the engine bay, but they are in.

 

Google Maps tells me 775 miles 11 hours 51 minutes driving time from my door to a hotel 30 miles from track, plus I lose an hour with the time zone and I am hauling a 50 ft trailer with two cars in it. If I leave at 4:00am I arrive 5:00pm at the absolute earliest.

 

These events always go off unless they close the track for weather.
Doors open around 9 but racing doesn't usually start until 10ish.

Look forward to seeing those that can make it!

 

I would love to do some obstacle course type race like that. I think I would absolutely destroy people. I have always watched the different stuff on t.v. saying you have to be kidding me watching people struggle. Like climbing ropes I go to the very top and back down with only my arms, no legs needed. Beast mode in a smaller compact body

 

Wait till you see how much weight I've lost since you were last at my house.

Told you I was working on my light weight driver mod.

 

Jess is wipping you in to shape ha? Nice, I will be rolling through around Christmas and of course see you New Years unless plans change
