Forgot about that little tale, always a smile maker! You get much action out in those hills?
Sounds like my cousins that live in Kempton. They had a 70's Ford 4 by with a 460/4 speed that was the fastest thing in town.Lot of farm boys in pickups.
Hey ! I resemble that ! lolLot of farm boys in pickups.
Your right , the closer you get to cities the harder it is to find safe spots . Back in the day when I lived close to Boston , for the main ( and the biggest ) spot . I used to travel about a half hour or so just to get there and that was with two fours and 4:30's in the back . I was lucky though because I had two good buddies that lived about 5 min's away from the spot . So if I needed to do something to the car , I could just go there . Here where I live now , I've got one or two spots that isn't to , to far away . But I have to wait until late night to get anything done .In the BURG there are ricers around bun a city type setting it is not to safe.
Go ahead , rub it in .I can go almost any direction out of town, stop, and hit it as hard as I want. I don't have to worry about much.
I hear yah . That's been the plan . The reason why I put the tires that are on it now , Is because I put the shorter rear end in it sooner then I expected and the 60's that I had on it sit to far in and just plain look lost . I had these wheels and tires on hand and I changed the compound (Made them stickier) so they would grab better . My plan was or is , is to run a pair of Sportsman's in the back . Something around 29"/31" tall and about 15"/17" wide . With the same rim's . I would have them already but I lost my winter job last minute and I haven't had the cash to get them yet . It's kind of slowed down my progress on any of the work I had planned for the Warlock while its' down for the winter .Bear, you should maybe go a little taller with that rear tire, will slow the tire and, a little more moving mass easier to get it to hook. Just a thought, I'm a tall tire guy. I used some n50 protrac's with a 72 firebird formula and, I never was ever to get it to hook until I went with a taller tire.
am I know exactly where you were! Small world. We used to have a house in Noyack, miss it alot.Getting back to Porsche. When I live in good ole' NY LI, I owned a 88 Jeep Cherokee 2wd 2dr. I was living out in Hampton Bays that's part of the famed Hampton's and, my shop was between Bridgehampton and East Hampton about a 30-45 min. ride from my house. Hampton Bays is where all the poor people lived out there, you know the gardeners, roofers,etc.. It's nickname was Harlem Bays. Anyway 2 roads in to South Hampton then 1 road the rest of the way out. Well I was on my way home and I got to this light where it was a nice long straight in the 2 lane area and, this idiot pulls up next to me in his new Boxster and rev's it up a couple times so, I'm like laughing to myself since I had just put this motor together, I zero decked it, ported the crap out of head, stepped up the cam as big as I could and, a few other things, had a 2800 stall, full shift kit, and a 3.73 gear. Plus a true dual exhaust, no cat and header. I was that dark silver and rust. So I thought why not I dropped into low brought the motor up to about 3G and let it loose when the yellow on the cross light had just went out, You know sometime's you can see the other light, well this was one of them, meanwhile this dork is just reving it up and down. I jumped out to 2-2.5 cars on him. the closest he ever got was maybe a car length before the next light I'd say about half mile to .750 mile. It was early fall during the week at I'd say 6-7pm so no other cars lucky me. I just laughed when he pulled up next to me, out loud this time, and made my turn.
