Welcome to the forum and thanks for your service. It's also nice to see somebody else on here from Augusta!! :wink:

mach401k 02-20-2011 09:40 PM

Just signing on to say, hey, to everyone. I live in St. Charles, Mo. I just joined the RJ membership and looking forward to hanging out. Who knows, I may be able to learn something or even contribute somehow. I am a 14 yr. Chrysler(UAW) casualty due to plant shut downs. Serious income drop leading to serious slowdown on rebuilding my 69 MACH1. Still enjoying my 67 Mustang 351C, last timeslip 12.8@109mph. on street tires. 10 sec. runners would giggle and yawn, but I'm having a blast, being an old bald headed guy. :roll:

mach401k 02-20-2011 10:37 PM

As I navigate through the forum, I notice a couple of servicemen, Boarder373 and DrivingMissDD. I want to thank you both, personnally, for your service and contribution. I tip my hat to you both. If I have overlooked anyone, I put it out there that we thank you too.

DirkaDirka 02-21-2011 07:10 AM

Welcome Mach401k.

It sounds like you are a Mustang guy?? I am prolly the only Mustang guy on here so far. Now there is also another guy that if a Ford guy and that pretty much sums up the Ford guys. :D

Hope you stick around we could use some new faces around here.

I spent several hours with him going thru the start up and shut down of the fuel injection. how to stage and how to safely get out of it thru the traps or before

then I looked at his wife before they left and jokingly ask does he have a good life insurance policy...of course it was a joke and all parties had a good laugh...I have heard nothing more from this man since the day he pulled it out of my driveway.

Never did get the car to hook well and it spun the whole track like you seen the old gassers do in the 60's and would still run in the 4.20 range at 170mph hazing tires and peddling.

1600lbs with 2500hp

also dug up a pic of me and the little one at one of the big NHRA events in Atlanta..
also me and her between rounds at Outlaw track..I was running 67 camaro that day

Hey, welcome to the site. Your not as old as you think. Watch, listen, and comment when appropriate. Safe is better than sorry!!!!

Hello racing junkies! My name is Brock and like all of you I'm a gear head. I'm currently in the process of putting my 70 Chevelle back together after my 540 chucked a lifter last fall. I'm having Nyes automotive handle the build and if all goes well, I will be slamming gears with my tremec 5 speed late this month. Will post pics as soon as my wife shows me how.
