Musclepalooza Englishtown 2009
I took a lseisurely dirve down to E-Town this afternnon for the racing time trials for the Musclepalloza event that takes place tomorrow. Not too many show cars but the F.A.S.T cars were amazing. I took a few photos while trying to avoid getting run over in the pits.
A neat 69 Charger 500 Hemi in the stock glass. It ran a 14 second quarter if I recall correctly. http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003837.jpg 1969 Road Runner A12 440 Six Barrel from the FAST class. http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003838.jpg Beatiful 68 Firebird. Didnt see it run. http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003839.jpg Amazing 68 RAII Firebird. It ran a 10.70. Check out the painted roll cage. The guys have to run them now, since they are turning 10s in the 1/4. http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003841.jpg 1971 429 Cobrajet Mustang. Ran a 10.90 http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003843.jpg http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003840.jpg 1969 Hemi Roadrunner. Ran a 10.547 - beating the L88 Vette which ran a 10.549 in time trials. http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003842.jpg http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003844.jpg http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003845.jpg Beautiful 1970 Z/28 http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003846.jpg Neat old Marlin nostalgia car...leaking gas in the sun due to the angle of the body. http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003851.jpg http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003850.jpg http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003849.jpg Wild old T-bird. Sounded real healthy...and then he opened the hood... http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003854.jpg http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003853.jpg |

Re: Musclepalooza Englishtown 2009
Good to see you there Steve. I can't believe that RR ran 10s with those bias plys! Just doesn't LOOK like a 10sec car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Lots of neat show cars today. Some site members cars too.
Bill Rose's El Camino (which got an award from Hemmings) http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003869.jpg http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003870.jpg http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003928.jpg http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003929.jpg http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003885.jpg Neat original owner 68 L78 http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003859.jpg http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003860.jpg Super Duty Pontiac http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003861.jpg http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003862.jpg http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003927.jpg Same old Charger. At least I got to use up 20 gallons of the old fuel I drained out of the Viper and put in the Charger. I thought it would get me to and from the event on Sat and Sunday but I ended up having to fill up as I left the track on Sunday. It was about 130 miles total...and needed 13 gallons. So, at least I know it gets an even 10 mpg highway. http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003858.jpg |

Re: Musclepalooza Englishtown 2009
More race car action. A lot of the cars were running much quicker today. The weather was about 71 with a cool tailwind breeze. That red 71 429 SCJ Mustang ran 2/10s quicker than yesterday. So did the white and red 68 Firebird.
The twin L88 Vettes. One runs FAST and the other Factory Stock. Both seemed to have mechanical trouble this morning. I left before the finals. http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003909.jpg http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003908.jpg Nice tread on the 10.549 running L88: http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003910.jpg http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003906.jpg http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003907.jpg http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/t...c/S7003911.jpg Father and daughter running Chevies.

Re: Musclepalooza Englishtown 2009
I'm glad someone took the time to get some pictures. Thanks Steve. It was good to see you and your hemi again. Lots of cool cars to see. The turn out was great for a first time show.
I'd also like to thank all the guys who helped me get my engine cleaned up, after the upper rad hose popped off the rad, and made a mess. We winched it into the trailer, to avoid any further need for cleaning. I got it home and spent another hour with detailer getting more anti-freeze off various engine parts. It looks like it never happened now. It was a lousy end to a great day, but no big deal in the end. Thanks again Steve for the pics. Looking forward to next year already. |
Re: Musclepalooza Englishtown 2009
Bill, See what happens when you bring a trailer? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
After my 130 mile weekend jaunt with the hemi, the tail pipe tips are finally burning light grey. Haven't seen that in years! (it's the little things in life that bring such joy, isn't it?) Nothing like a 45 minute long, 4,000 rpm cruise at 65 mph to clean things out. |
