Not going to make it to Beeville this weekend. If anyone is going and needs a hotel or golf cart, het me up before I cancel everything.

2016 has turned into a complete washout. Maybe next year will be better!

[Cam 157]

Well that sucks, what's going on that killed the year for you? Also why were LSR tires disallowed? I find that interesting but am not able to find why that ruling changed.

Wow Hate to hear that Chuck, hope your Dad get's better soon.

Totally understand yall not making the Mile, dang I sure was looking forward to seeing the both of you.

Alan, Sarah & the Boys are going to be there, I know they will be disappointed.

[Speedy 247]

Dang, hate to hear it Chuck. Spoke with Sam over the weekend, you guys going be sure to give him a high five for me and wish him luck!

[HemiSam 188]

Chuck & Lisa - best of luck to Chuck's dad. Please keep us posted. We will miss you two BIG TIME....won't be the same without you!

Cam - land speed tires tend to be designed for salt flats. We run on relatively rough tarmac made for Navy landings. I believe that is the gist.

Kenny - see you there, brother. CIA (aka Doug) will be there and my boy Jim and his family will show up with Zach Friday. Typical TX weather....warm and humid with a cross or head wind. Maybe the lottery number will show and we'll see that wicked tail wind

We rebuilt the motor and thought we were done but once the motor was tight, the valvetrain leaked like a sieve so we had to scramble to get heads in time for CF, but decided to go without the car. Passed on Texas in the spring because it was the week before CF. Arkansas saw the clutch let go in the burnout box before the first pass. Drove fine beforehand, but after removing found that the PP barely had the discs engaged at all. The slightest load and it slipped.

As to the LSR tires, all I can say is that they are really picky on tires at Beeville. I think it may have to do with braking. The braking area at Chase is not as long as most mile tracks. We saw them let some tires go in Arkansas that never would have passed tech in Texas. The runway at Blytheville was a major B52 SAC base and was built as an alternate shuttle landing strip. It is also that concrete that is like sandpaper. No one had traction issues in Arkansas. The runway is 11,600 feet long vs Chase's 8000ish. The braking area in Texas also kinda sucks as the pavement is pretty shitty.

[Cam 157]

Ya I knew about the heads and clutch but figured as resourceful as you both are had conquered those obstacles. And my best to you both dealing with your dads issues. We went thru it as well and it took presidence over everything else in our life for months.

Interesting about the LSR tire failures, but then again it really is two completely different types of surfaces too so that's understandable.

That is awesome Sam! So happy for you!! And congrats to you, AJ , and everyone that has worked on your build. You definetely deserve this and much more success!!

I can't tell for the on line registration list as it does not contain shops only drivers and car numbers. It does not list the Highsmiths who own the black suoerbird and I know that is a Spank-in-Time build. If I knew other customer names I could look them up. Most of the Mopars registerd are 15's and 16's and are listed as HC's.

Haven't seen anyone from Team Smokin time yet.

There is a bunch of PR guys from Dodge here taking a bunch of pic's.

I will be taking the new HellCat for her maden voyage in the morning, if it bumps 170+ I'll be happy.

[Cam 157]

Killer Kenny. Good luck tomorrow!

[Renfrick1 83]

Have fun Kenny!!

Yeah the Dodge crew there is the driveSRT crew. They are doing an article in the cars, drivers and pit crews. I exchanged emails with them last week. They commented they loved the Shake n Bake logo on the car. I guess they will figure out we are not there to interview..

[StevoHemi 113]

Congratulations Sam! Wow..... you be smokin Mang!

Thank you, All! It was a good weekend. We had some issues but managed to work through them. Once I got the trans in overdrive, she was a hoot.

Can't thank the person who invented zip ties too much....

HUGE thanks to Doug, Kenny, Kenny's son Alan, and my good friend and neighbor Jim for having my back. Don't know what I'd do without Doug....salt of the earth, brother. Thank you.

Vroom vroom....
