wallaby Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 There was a time in the late 70's when the Chevy Vegas were notious for being worthless...just a couple of years old, yet fetching only a couple of hundred bucks. I had the brilliant idea that I would gather all I could find and create a specialty wrecking yard for Vegas only. I was quite serious about the project...the place would be called LOST VEGAS. Thinking back, I'm pretty glad I didn't follow up on that idea. Hmmm. I guess this post just triggered a flashback. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monte70car Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 From what I saw on the team chevelle forum Davey lost by .0005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyDavey Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 What a weekend!! man it was a blast even though it was to dang hot..... That picture at the beginning of this post....well unbelievably that turned out to be the finals....me and Dal Trubey, my pit pardner from Team Chevelle (he's from Airzona). We had joked about it but it actually happened, when we both won our semi-final round we just couldn't believe it. I hope to have some pic's and vid's tomorrow, we went through about 40 cars, 100 + degree night time heat and 6000' DA to get here, our cars were out of breath after the whole thing. We both made some nice money and had a great time doing it, Dal is a great racer and friend. As Robert mentioned Dal won the final so I was runner up. My car ran a 10.542 on a 10.54 dial but Dal was a little better on the light (he was dialed at 10.98 so I had to go try and get him). Margin of victory was 5 ten thousands of a second (.0005)..that works out to about 2 1/2 inches....wow!!! we were both flat out, no fooling around, no fender racing, just foot to the floor and run 'em out....just like it's supposed to be....

wallaby Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Yeehaw! That sounds like some really close racing. I bet your leg was sore after that run from trying to push the pedal through the carpet. Geez you were close to your dial. I guess you can't feel too bad about that. Great job, Davey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72MC Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Sounds like a blast Davey. I guess if you're going to be runner up, who better than to your friend. Congrats on the great results this weekend. Looking forward to pics and vids. - Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job. funny- we lost to our buddy in the final a couple weeks ago by the same margin. .0005 of a second. works out to be around 3/4-1 inch at our speed. and we were chasing him down also. you'll get him next time. thanh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I bet Davey. Its in the high 80s here and i drink a ton, i would think you have to drink 2x that amount to stay hydrated in that heat. Keep up the good work Davey. You and Red are great credit to this club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
