I was told that the air line to the chutes became disconnected and they would not deploy.
The statement about Keith getting screwed out of his ride is way off base. The car was loaned to Lynch & Petty to get points in the FFW series while their car is getting updated and in turn Petty would get the car set up right. Running a 7.21 and being the #2 qualifier I would have to say that Petty fulfilled his part of the agreement. Keith felt this was not the right thing to do and disagreed with Shane's decision. The car owner has the right to do what ever he wants to with his car, since it is his investment.
Who would you want to set up your turbo car?

| Thanks J.P. I,ve been known to forget to take the pin out sometimes myself, I know its stupid but it can happen to anybody! The Famous, Mr.Ellis Milner of dixie pro stock fame and now pro mod installs a hand brake in his cars after a shute failure in newton ala, cused him to loose a good car and almost his life. He went off the end and ran into abunch of farm equipment (mostly a combine) that was there. This was the same track where johnny pilchers dad lost his leg from the corvette going into the guard rail. Going back to the hand brake, I asked Ellis the Pros and Cons of having it and he said everybody will experience a shute failure at some time and the extra brake gives you something else to lean on, plus you can pull it when you start to get into tire shake and most of the time if you catch it soon enough the car will get through it. He said it pays off and should be mandatory on all outlawcars going fast on short tracks just for safety alone not to mention the extra benefits of a way to calm the wheel speed down without unloading the chassis by lifting on the throttle. This has been a secret of john forces camp for years back, and it still works today. There have been alot of older guys that have paid the price and came up with better ways to survive in this game and i thing it deserves a look. It is merely a handle (that can be mounted in between your legs or on the side of the seat) a rod, a seperate brake cylinder (for two wheels instead of four) two lines, two calipers and extra tabs mounted on the rear wheel. Also its good to have extra brake shoes on hand because if the shute fails and you do get it stopped with both brakes the padswill be fried. I hope this info helps save another car or possiibly a life, because i love our sport and i don,t like to see anyone get into a situation, but lets remember this is an old game and knowledge is power. God Speed everbody and good luck. If we can be of assistance on installing this brake on anybodys car please call us @229-243-8867 WEST/PEGASUS RACE CARS in bainbridge ga. Tim or Billy will be glad to help you.

| INVESTMENT, you must be kidding. Keith and Brad built that entire car with the undestanding that Keith was going to be the driver. Is thier time and credit card charge backs not an investment? Why are you no longer a member of Team Barber? It's not a question of who you would have tune your turbo car is who are you going to stab in the back!! How can one car be at two different race tracks that are 500 miles apart on the same day and be shared by two drivers? You dont have any idea what has gone on and if you would like to answer more question I'll be glad to ask them. Last edited on Thu Mar 10th, 2005 07:00 pm by ET2278 |

| I have not had the pleasure (or dis-pleasure) of meeting either "idiot" (as you called them)..........but they must know a Little bit of something....or they would NOT have been the first in the 6's..........Their "attitude" may not appeal to you, or possibly their personality........but I would venture to say that if they DID work on yer lawnmower....yer grass would prolly get cut a LOT quicker......

NEWSFLASH!!!!!! They were the first in the 6's?? Not on true 10.5's jackass, on W's!!
The car wasn't NMRA or FFW legal so big freakin deal, put some real 10.5's on that junk and then let's see what happens, we have Pro Mod's here running King of the Street that have been in the 6's forever, they bolt W's on thier cars which are 16 to 18 inches wide and run the King of the Street, you see, I've been around the horn many times, I know more about those two assclowns than just about anyone, Im not getting into a mudslinging contest here,I just happen to know what they are up to and how they got there and it ain't gonna last much longer!! BTW, my neighbor has a small block 351 clevland on a lawnmower with a supercharger on alchohol, wanna try me jerky???

If memory serves....they were at an "Outlaw" race.......10.5 "W's" are perfectly legal.....(and besides....do YOU really think that extra 3/4's to an inch of rubber helped THAT much??) A 10.5 W "MIGHT" be 11 1/2 inches wide.....
I know neither of those individuals.....You do.....(or claim to ).......but You don't know ME........as for "trying you"???......I don't cut my OWN grass....(plenty of lost cars to prove it ).....so why would I want to have a contest with you to see who could cut YOUR grass the fastest???...........Besides....no matter the winner in that little contest.......the grass will just need cutting again in a week or so.......

3/4 of an inch?? are you sure, I think maybe you better look again, you can run a W tire up to 16 inches wide, thats what's on the car, if it was an outlaw race then it's not a record I don't give a damn where it happened. Go to Hoosier ,M&H, Goodyear racing tire, ect. and see just how big some of the W's are, I can assure you Lynch ain't runnin no 11 inch tire on that heap, for that matter, none of them are, don't get me wrong, I enjoy these kind of car's but lets put some real 10.5's in it and then we can throw'em a damn party, Glidden has been very close and without 2 turbo's, one carb and nitrous he went 7.10 at Bradenton on a marginal track, what'll it go in good air on a good track?? I've already tried to set this race up and Lynch/Petty want no part of it, I even offered big money to see this happen along with the help of a track owner friend of mine, they are afraid that at legal weight they would get their ass handed to them. BTW, I was just trying to get my grass mowed without me having to do it .

Pretty sure on the width thing......the sidewall designation MUST read......blah blah x 10.5 w x blah blah.....
We use a 33x10.5w x 15 Mickey........and I run the same size tire on my Super Gas car....(availability is the main reason.....<grin> )
Now whether or not they actually measure em'.....the sidewall has got to be in compliance........
(know whatcha mean on the grass thing.......spring is in the air....and that stuff grows like....welll....grass!!.....LOL)

tazz632: There are a couple of things I picked up on by reading your post.
1st thing was you stated Lynch's car was not legal because it was not NSCA or FFW legal. It was FFW legal. ( FFW now allow twin turbo's so it is legal) NSCA? How many members of ORSCA run in that series? To much math for us, something about lbs per cubic inch and weights are based on engine size? Whats that all about? Thats not heads up Outlaw! If you don't have enough motor in ORSCA you build it bigger!
next thing I have noticed is that you must not race in Outlaw or you would not have made the stupid statement about a W tire being 16"s wide. Here in the south when we talk about a W tire everone knows it is a M/T 33 x 10.5 that measures 11.5" on a 15" wide wheel. I know that everything is bigger in Texas, but here our W's are only 11.5 inches wide.
Next thing I noticed was after you tried to slam Petty/Lynch you made a reference to Glidden. This confirmed that your dislike for the Lynch Mob is not because you have been done wrong by them, it is because you are on the other side and pulling for BG.
Nothing wrong with that, but Petty makes a living building "race motors" and he promotes his business with the racecar. If you have ever used him you would see he is a very forth right person and does the right thing for his customers. Poking fun is one thing but outright attack on someone is wrong. The 6 second run impressed the entire Outlaw racing crowd with the exception of you! If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all. If you have a problem with someone call them, if you don't get it worked out there are other ways to resolve the problem.

#1. Alright J.P. Im gonna bring it now, I said in an earlier post, the car's here (Florida) as far south as you can get in this country, they run pro mod's in King of the Street with a W tire, I would invite you to break out the tape measure, they measure 16 inches, I guess you failed to look at Hoosier/M&H/Goodyear, ect. to see just how big you can get W's regardless of what the sidewall says.
#2. Had you read all the post correctly, you also would have seen I run a real 10.5 car, and even if I wanted to run outlaw street I couldn't because my car does not have a stock appearing interior, already tried, it used to be a bracket car so the interior is all aluminum, although I have aquired another car just like it so I can keep the stock appearing dash and such.
#3. I am not a Glidden fan although I am friends with him, I get a kick out of all the assclowns and sanctioning bodies trying to get Bill to move out of a class because he's dominating the class, rather funny I think, but that has nothing to do with me saying anything negative about Lynch/Petty, I've had my run in with them a long time ago and let's just say I wasn't impressed and leave it at that. I don't have to pull for anyone, I have my own race team, something you would also know if you had read all of the previous post instead of reading only the part you didn't like.
#4. It seems I hit a nerve with ya, prolly one of Lynch/Petty henchman which is fine but, this forum is for stating opinions, I have stated mine and I could give two squirts of dog pi$$ wether you like it or not, I was having a little fun with Billy mac but you sir have pi$$ed me off so let's git'er done.
#5. I sure don't have a problem calling them or walking up to their sorry a$$es and saying what I have to say,it's already been done once and one of their little punk's that hang's around them that think's they are his friend tried one of my boy's, he got served and all they did was stand there and watch. Im also curious about what other ways we can work out problems J.P. why don't ya tell me.
#6. I will also say what I want until the forum admin. say otherwise, I haven't threatened anyone nor have I used too many 4 letter words so I think it's all cool, if they want to remove me from this forum then so be it but I have read and followed the rules, so in closing tonight J.P. all I can say is , CHEW HARDER!!

| just so you know their is many size "w"s but as said the 10.5 w's are NOT any wider than 11.5" on the tread, the sidewall doesn't matter. Not to start this again but billy runs his small block at 2550 and lynch runs his small block at 3000 lbs. Last edited on Fri Mar 18th, 2005 03:28 am by nosbill |
