Thanks Jonny.

We had a great race and weekend.

We gotta fix the race car and the potential pace car.

Re: Special shout out to Troy Hogan

I'm just waiting for the day I hear this coming out of your mouth, "You know what, a Z will never win Lemons... because it's a Z!"

"This is the scene where I get shot," Bronson said. "I have these little squibs that explode to make it look like bullets are hitting." "Fascinating," said Bergman. "I never knew how they did that." "You mean," asked Bronson, "you don't use machine guns in your movies?"

Re: Special shout out to Troy Hogan

A Z could win.  So could a Fiat or Renault.

Re: Special shout out to Troy Hogan

Maybe a Z with a volvo engine or even a MB diesel?  They always seem to finish.

Let's get me, you, some other detroit-based guys and run a Z with a 4.9L ford TBI. or a 4.0L Jeep I-6. we could break the curse of the Z with american powaaa!  (bring Troy to keep the judges and tech and trackworkers and Jay busy) big_smile

Re: Special shout out to Troy Hogan

A Renault will win Lemons long before a Z does. I don't care what kind of engine it has, it's still a Z.

A 4.9 Ford is a pretty hard to kill with a crapload of torque.

Re: Special shout out to Troy Hogan

Yeah, I believe I told Troy on separate occasions to "shut up" and to "shut the f-- up." Come to think of it that was the same occasion. But, for better or for worse, he takes it as well as he dishes it out. Actually, for the worse. But we do want him to come back. Or do we? Wait, now I've lost my train of thought.

LOL....


It was finally nice to meet Troy (we both live near the same O'Reilly and beg for cheap parts from them).

Well it was nice right until he started talking about why I was bribing the Judges with my 80 Malibu. Little does he Know my Malibu has FEELINGS and thinks its a REAL RACE CAR! It thinks we need to bribe the Judges so I bribe!

Re: Special shout out to Troy Hogan

I met Troy!  I just tried not to stand too close to him when I was over near the Penalty Box area.

Also, we will keep running MR2s.  Better or worse chance than a Z?

Until we wise up and put either a Renault, Fiat, or Trabant motor in them, worse.

Re: Special shout out to Troy Hogan

Hmmm... Well, MR2s fail one one single reason -- no way to cool them.

Zs fail for a wide variety of reasons.

So... pick your poison.

Troy, JeffG;

http://limaohio.craigslist.org/cto/1399068963.html

nab the drivetrain, scrap the body, should be able to get that down to $200 for a engine/tranny, then all we need is a Z with a dead motor... let's make it happen smile

Re: Special shout out to Troy Hogan

Serj,

I traded in a 94 F150 with a 4.9 under Cash for Clunckers.

It got traded in on my Mother's new car since I was about to sell it so now I need to sell a Park Avenue.

Trading in that old truck did feel like killing off a pet.

Re: Special shout out to Troy Hogan

Drop a Z shell on a shortened P-71 frame. Then add an LT1 and call it Team Alphabits. That should win SOMETHING.

Re: Special shout out to Troy Hogan

A Z WILL win one of these!! We are getting closer, we finished this race with 3 hours of downtime due to a faulty u-joint. Next time! Troy come out and do a west coast race and help represent the Z's!
