Morning Everyone! I've been extremely busy since the New Year. Entered my ZL1 in Wanna Go Fast this Saturday in Ocala. Last year my fastest half mile time was 137.228 MPH. Weather is expected to be better than last year. Hoping to get into the 140's this year. I'll post pics from event.

Maybe when I retire in October this year I can finally do some driving with my 2011 Camaro. As long as the macular degeneration gets no worse in my right eye. My car only has 16,000 miles.

A 65 degree day in January and Illinois means only one thing. You get to take the animals out for a run. The tracks give proof of the day.

Well I had a blast at WannaGoFast! Top speed for the day was 137.112 MPH on street tires. Everyone I ran against was on drag radials. I beat the ZL1 pictured beside my ZL1 by a car length, blew a BMW completely away got beat by 2 highly modified Corvette's and a Dodge Viper. I Tree'd the heck out of both Corvette's and lead at halfway but they drove around me on the top end. I Tree'd the Viper and saw him in my rearview mirror at one point. He had to use all 10 Cylinders to beat me - LOL!!!
I'll post more pics later. Attachment 846379 |
Hi everyone! Back to reality. Mondays really blow!
Another Barrett Jackson Scottdale is in the books. And once again, I had the time of my life! Yes, it is hard work, and sometimes I wonder why I do it, but the good times and good people far outweigh the bad stuff. Drove some great cars hung out with my awesome Barrett Jackson family. I will post a photo link up when I get a chance. I was SO busy for a week and a half! :cool: |

Rick ----- Great Pictures as always. The his/hers black w/red 1969 camaros would be a neat set.
Trick ----- 137 mph --- was that at the end of a 1/2 mile ???? Seems like mine gets to 140 faster than a half a mile. I guess it is hard to tell when you start covering ground at that rate of speed. John |
Trickskier sounds like you had a blast !
Rick I am sure you enjoy your time at the auction, when working is not working . any favorites that you drove ? |
Thanks everyone!

I don't have a tach in the car yet, but it is revving somewhere around 4K at 65 MPH. |
And yet again we were halfway down the section. Must be busy times for Old farts. I am home today with back pain. Had to do some work on computer but now ready to go back to bed & rest some. I guess if this keeps up a chiropractor is next. I have tried everything else.
|
Ruby have you tried Tequila, it help me.:facepalm::happy0180:
|
Janice i recommend seeing a good Chiropractor. i have been getting regular adjustments for years. i used to have problems bending over to tie my shoes. Then i ruptured five discs in my neck. After some intensive chiropractic therapy i am virtually pain free today with no back or neck surgeries. My Chiropractor says i am a medical mystery to him as he is surprised I function as well as I do based on the train wreck that my neck is.

Happy Friday Everyone!!! :happy0180:

Not having a great last few days. Had increasingly bad pain in my back this week. Missed work yesterday & today. Did physical therapy last year which did not really help much. I had a miserable night last night. Went to a chiropractor for the first time just now. X-rays showed degenerative disks in 3 lower back disks, bone spurs & scoliosis causing one hip to be a little lower than the other. Great. https://www.facebook.com/images/emoj...5/16/1f641.png:( I got electronic stimulation & a chiropractic adjustment & some gel stuff to apply. Return appointment on Monday. I sure hope this helps. I hate being in pain.

Happy Friday gang! What'she left of iti.
Hope you feel better soon Jan. A chiropractor helped my wife immensely! So I'm getting calls on my cell phone every other day for the past two weeks from some guy at the dealership I bought my Camaro from. Says he is with the GM vehicle exchange program and wants to ask me some questions. You would think by now he'd get the hint I don't want to hear his questions as I have not called him back. I'm sure they want me to trade the Camaro in on something else. It's paid for and has less than 7700 miles on it. I don't think so. :biggrin: |
Man did I overdo it today! PAIN!
