Lets take a Schvitz!
 
Cranky and I sweated our butts off tonight tracking down the source of no spark in McStang. Right under our noses, the ground from the MSD box came loose when I rerouted my brake proportioning valve to the interior. Bled the brakes too.

Now just gotta throw dem Kirkey seats in Da Stang and I be ready too!

Be fast, be safe and may the Force be with you. Keep all hands and legs in the car until the ride comes to a complete stop.

Turn a fast lap for me. Hope to run with you there next year. Getting my pennies together for a new aluminum radiator. Running autox the rest of the year instead.

Crankys nephew
 
Watch out gang, my nephew A J has found us and will be joining the Crankoids at the Glen when he gets back from his Tour with the A F in Japan. THE BOY CAN DRIVE. He is only 20 but has 10 years racing experience driving the dirt tracks in the Northeast.
Last time he was at the Glen I gave him the first timer speech. "Don't try to impress me cause you can't and don't try to scare me because I already am". Boy was I wrong, he really did impress me with his no fear driving skills plus he did scare me.

Alan, welcome to Club Cranky, the unofficial open track racing/ fun group of Club Cobra.

Uncle Roger aka Cranky

BTW nice job of you and Steven "guarding" the beer cooler last time you two were at the Glen.:3DSMILE:

Slick67?????? oooohhh Jeez......
 
Dere goes da neighborhood....Alan has tracked us down!!! %/ %/

Alan,

I heard about all the fun yer having in Japan outracing all them rice burners. I understand you just pushed the front end of your car in, last time out. I also heard about the Jet Ski incident in Hawaii! Bad boy, BAD!!!!!!

You know we got a spot for you. Plenty of racing. Alan is the only 20 year old I have heard about setting near record lap times at the Glen first time out! Even Lauren Fix was impressed!

Yup....I'm waiting on a call from yer dad to see when he can squeeze me in to put a Locker in the rear. That stupid Power Trak let loose for no good reason! :MECOOL: :MECOOL:

BTW - Your dad has my Recaro seats for the 67 Stang.

Can you still tune a V8???? Last I heard they are tweeked just a wee bit differently than an F-115.

Be good and stay in touch!

JM

Club cranky

yes i can still tune a V-8 even though i havent seen one in awhile.
I did a number on my car here too. I went into turn 5 a little to hard and pushed right out to the grass and then it was all over right through the sand trap and into the tire barrier. If i had the car back home i could fix it but here i cant. I bent the frame so much the right front is 3 inches farther back and its bent down an 1 1/2" at the front cross member. So the car is out of commission now. It was a street car that had some hp but little torque. It was an overhead cam inline 4 with a turbo, 5sp and a posi. I hated working on cause of all that computer EFI crap.

I want to go back to carbs there so much easier. I miss my ford

It was a little wierd driving on the right hand side of the car. It took me a week to get the shifting down good.



BTW It was thialand not hawaii that i destroied a rental jet ski
i was having fun befor i wrecked it

well have to go its time to baten down the hatches!! typhoon on the way
