CrazyDavey Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 just wanted to keep you all up to date. Made my move to Oregon (Lafayette) and made it out to Woodburn this weekend (about 30 minutes). I had also run there the weekend before as well. It is an awesome track, well cared for, well maintained and the track prep is great. Car has been running great, it seems to really like it here. Friday the car was really hooking great, all the 60' were 1.33 to 1.35. Between Friday and Sunday (took Saturday off for a grandson's football game) all 11 passes were in the 9.60's the best being 9.61. The best speed came on Sunday at 138.88....here's that pass..... hope you enjoy... Quote
MCfan Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 The beat goes on! Congratulations on your continued success, Dave! Do I understand that you relocated your residence to Oregon and are now racing in a new/better venue? Other than the track, are there also atmospheric conditions that are more favorable there? Seems like your Chevelle is crazy fast for a naturally aspirated motor. How much further (faster) do you think it is feasible to go? Thanks for sharing the video. You have a good videographer. Quote
71monteme Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 congrat on the move and the time. you figure where to mount the chute yet? only 12mph more. thanh Quote
Montemedic Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Dave and Red, Congrats on your move and being closer to your family. I hope everything went smoothly for you. The Chevelle looks great and I'm glad your having fun. Enjoy all that life has to offer !!! CK Quote
willie Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Congrats on the move Dave and Red. See you are already doing great with the car (no mis steps there)!!! Fantastic... Quote
CrazyDavey Posted August 1, 2012 Author Posted August 1, 2012 thanks everyone, we're looking forward to some new experiences up here. The area we live in is very beautiful, it's sort of Oregon's wine country, a lot of vineyards around here (we have some vines in our backyard). Dennis so far the weather has been very good, the track elevation is lower than the tracks I was running at so the DA hangs in there better and you get good baro's. The humidity is higher so that cancels some of that out but it's still on the plus side from what I was use to.....as far as making it faster, I could put a solid roller in it and pick another 70hp or so, that would probably get it into the 9.30's or maybe even 20's...if I did a 150 shot then 8's.....

dbreese Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Well Davey.....looks like the Velle likes OR too!!! Wait till ya get a shot of cooler air. I'm guessing the car could pick up as much as two mph and a tenth or more out the back. Could be more!! OR has some killer wines. I was out in Portland years ago and was eating at a Ruths Chris and I asked the waiter for a wine suggestion. He brought me a red from a local vineyard and told me if I didn't like it it was on the house. It was very good and I had a few more glasses with supper. You need to get the vines going in the back and start making some vino and bottle it under the name, "Crazy Daveys Hot Rod Cab". LOL Congrats on the new best. David Quote
wallaby Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 It should be "Merlot-Carlo". Stay away from the "Ford Pinot". Quote
black07ss Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 I think it is great that the new track has modern plumbing Quote
Mike 57 Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Nice pass Dave! I think it is great when any track has modern plumbing! Quote
CrazyDavey Posted August 2, 2012 Author Posted August 2, 2012 I think it is great that the new track has modern plumbing you and my wife both...she hates those porta potty things......gotta keep the crew chief happy.... Quote

72MC Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Dave, your launches are Baaaaaadd. And when I say bad, I mean AWEEEESOOOME. I must have played the launch 15 times. You actually looked to get just a touch squirelly in the rear during the wheels up. Did it or are my eyes playing tricks on me? - Dave Quote
Heckeng Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Dave, your car reminds me of Robyn's Monte. I'm not sure if you knew him or not but his car was very mild but it ran way better than you would think it would just looking at the specs----as your engine, and his show, it is all about the combination, not the individual parts or how much you spend. freakin' awesome! Keep up the good work! Quote

Did it or are my eyes playing tricks on me? - Dave no your eyes were spot on Dave.....on the initial hit it started to spin (a little move to the left) and I thought that's what it was going to do and then bam it hooked, it surprised me but then I thought oh okay...this is going to be fun....

Keep up the good work! thanks Scott, yes I knew Robyn, his ole yeller ran great....couldn't agree more...you can spend $5000 on the right parts and $10,000 on the wrong ones and 5 will beat 10 every time...
