Racing Discussion / Re: Charlotte to WNY late April-May
« on: March 20, 2015, 06:09:41 PM »
@- dukjupiter   I will be at the Auto Fair.  I have 2 spaces I sell parts in.  I am looking for if anyone needs something hauled from here (Charlotte) to WNY.
Just trying to help defray my fuel cost coming North. I will be coming empty otherwise.
Thank you for your input.

So, was the "radio tower" thing a bunch of BS?
 Am glad to see it back running. Fun little place. Really enjoyed running there back in the 80's.

Haven't sold any of those seats in years. But now you will be able to pull your $250,000 motor home up to the outside wall and watch the race.

The backstretch grandstands at Charlotte Motor Speedway are all gone.  Last of them came down Thursday.
I work right behind the speedway and have been watching the demolition for about a month.

Typical PR  BS.  Hype up the event , but give no review.
97% of the tracks do it.  They all think you are SUPPOSED TO BE AT THEIR track and see for yourself.

Wish I were there, but my trip "back home" will be next month when the Vintage cars are there.

Maybe you should ask on Yahoo answers.  These sound like the type questions that are asked there.  You should get some kind of lame "arm chair Crew Chief"  answer.

I think "Irv" needs to get out of the house.  Maybe a road trip with Tedd in April would help.

 Motors are dry sump.   In all three "major" divisions.    Trans are four (4) speed.   Pretty sure you CAN run a Dodge in Cup, but with no factory support, no one is.  There are a few Nationwide teams running Dodges. (leftover Penske stuff).

 Hope this helps " Irv."  (hehehehehe.......)

 I never saw him race, but I heard Ed Rohr is quite the shoe.

 Seriously tho-  I kinda gotta go with Art Clark  and Cagle. (besides, they are both personal friends of mine.)

I am an old guy and no where computer savvy as these young whipper snappers of today , but all I did was type in Midstate Vintage Stock Car Club (actually only got to the Vi) on my homepage,  and it came right up.    Imagine that.

Racing Discussion / Re: Tubular metric frames
« on: December 03, 2013, 06:50:23 PM »
 Stopped by the Johnson shop today. Andy was very busy getting ready for the C.A.R.S. Trade Show this weekend in Charlotte but took a few minutes to talk to me. IF ANYBODY (poster points finger at Sodus Mike)  thinks the Johnson chassis is a bad idea, give Andy a call next week an listen to what he has to say.  Not just because he owns Johnson chassis, but because as what has already been posted here.
 The stock frames haven't been made in close to 30 years! As anybody knows who builds their own cars...  ah.. Sodus Mike.... did you BUILD the car you raced?........ the GOOD frames are gone.
 What if you need to "only" clip the front of your wrecked car?  If you don't have another frame sitting around, you have to go find another junker to buy. Expensive and time consuming. Ain't no way you're gonna make it to next weeks' race.
 Now, for the disclaimer BS because I am sure Sodus Mike will want to chime in on this post.   I do not, nor have I  ever, worked for Johnson chassis, or bought one of his cars. I do race, but not in Street Stock. I stop by every now and then just to say hello. Andy is a fellow racer that I met about 20 years ago. That is about all the association there is.
 I have no real opinion either way on if these are good or bad for our sport. But, coming from someone who has built their own cars for the past 35+ years, the Johnson chassis is worth looking into.
 Can't wait to see what S M has to say.

Hope you know that listing is for JUST THE COVER. You ain't gonna get a new seat like that for 175 bucks.

Basically they are the same. There was some extra BOLT ON bracing for the Z-28 & Formula cars but the basic sub-frame were the same.
