He may not have taste, but he will always have gas money. blob1.gif
montefrazerParticipantHow about this green? 😯 icon_scratch.gif dontknow.gif http://www.streetcarforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=55867
montefrazerParticipantThis is an oxygenated fuel area and has been for years so I have been using 10% ethnol for years. I haven’t seen any E85 for sale in Milwaukee or Racine.
montefrazerParticipantSpeedway usually, they’re everywhere. There is a station on the south side of Milwaukee with leaded premium. That’s as close to racing fuel as I get.
montefrazerParticipantRegular in the daily drivers. Premium in the old, high compression, cars.
montefrazerParticipantQuote:Another review this year with no raise. Not because of illegal aliens but foreign workers coming into this country and taking jobs from American citizens. Pathetic, and the government opens the door for them.Bet your top company officials won’t have that problem. w00t.gif
montefrazerParticipantD – Denver
montefrazerParticipantKnowing which engine it is would help. icon_scratch.gif If it has an oil pump driven by the distrubuter, you can pull the distrubuter and use a drill and a shaft to spin the pump to build up pressure. If it’s not driven by the distributer, about all you can do is disable the ignition and crank the engine until there is oil pressure in the system. Plan on fresh gas too.
montefrazerParticipantHetrz will sell these cars before 2-3 years. Probably before next summer. They will be rented constantly and rack up lots of miles. I would expect some of them to be sold late this year. Drive it like you rented it! icon_cheesygrin.gif Drogar-Laugh(LBG).gif
montefrazerParticipantI’ll be at the Skip’s show and swap at Grays Lake.

montefrazerParticipantNo, it doesn’t bother me to take a few seconds to scroll down.
montefrazerParticipantI like 1, the Monthly View. The entire month laid out and listed by day of the week is what I like about it. Very easy to understand.
montefrazerParticipantQuote:That’s an interesting take on this Steve. So you want to have judging at shows where the turnout is narrow enough so that the judges have intimate knowledge of the vehicles and will be judging them on their real integrity instead of overall looks? Do you think many local shows have judging just because it draws a crowd?Yes. I think judging should be used to allow people to find out what is correct and not correct on their car by a judge that knows what he is looking at. Many local shows get people to come, and stay, because they want another trophy to add to the collection. They get mad if they don’t win one. After the trophys are handed out there is a mass exodus.
Quote:Quote:I’ll probably start a lively discussion but, as someone who has judged both types of shows, here’s my opinion. If it’s a single make National or local club meet and show I think there should be judging for those who want it. Kind of a yard stick of where you are compared to where you want to go. At a general car show, no. No one can keep track of what is correct for all the different cars that show up, so it becomes a beauty pagent.You make some good points. At some of the shows its not so much how good the car is but if the car owner knows the judges. It always makes it more interesting when the show is judged. You always have a chance of winning something, even if it is remote. But I agree you get a much better assessment of your car at a single make show or a show that has many cars in each class. One complaint I have heard at many shows is about letting cars in classes they shouldn’t be in.
People are always trying to enter a class they think they can win. “There are only two cars in the ORIGINAL class, I’l sign up for that and be sure to win a trophy. They won’t notice my 22 inch wheels or flamed paint job.” It’s been a problem at every show I’ve been a judge.
