Sam wins the autocross at R&G
The Street BB class was won again with a new ERA car. Sam came up from Texas and bailed me out this year. TOO many brain farts. We had 4 great days of racing and the ERA guys did well. Rick L.

And ...
... first place in the Road Course for Big Block Replicas :D If it hadn't been for a minor hole in #8 piston, I might have done something at the drags, too! Well, the motor is fixable with wrenches and parts .. didn't break the car. I must say it behaved very well at speed and being hammered in the turns. Spun out once, due to hot shoe and cold tires :o
Bob, I need to upgrade to a larger diameter fuel line and add an elec fuel pump to correct a lean condition. I'll give you a call for your thoughts on how to do that. Sam |
SSSammy-
I had ERA run a larger diameter hard line from back near the tank to the normal fuel pump location, so they have done it before. I think they did the same for Fred K's car as well. Congrats for a great R&G performance! |
You all should have seen Sammy busting around the track like greased lightening. Sammy will be a force to contend with from now on. The MAN can drive. I thought he was Steve Clement more than once.
Great event and a tremendous turnout. Thank you everyone! Clois Harlan |

Congrats
What was your winning time for the road course? |
Congrats Sammy..I can't wait to come next year with 739

Sammy .... CONGRATULATIONS !!! You might want to talk to Doug at ERA . I had them run a 1/2" fuel line on my car as my engine builder said I needed it . If I remember correctly , it`s aluminum and fairly easy to shape and form . You will need to flare both ends AFTER you put the fitting over the line ... but Doug can walk you through that . You will also have to change your fuel pickup as it is 3/8" .
Again ..... way to go ! |
Thanks!
Wow .. thanks for the nice compliments! Now I have to deliver next year on the full 4 course meal ;)
My Road Course time was 1:14 .. that was with three timed sessions before I holed the piston. Then ran a 1:20 on 7 cylinders until I saw all the smoke and pulled out. Track record for this event was 1:03, I think, and there were a lot of guys that ran faster than me, but in Prepared and Pro. I won Street Big Block. the neat thing about RnG is that there are lots of classes and lots of winners :D The Autocross time was 50.005 sec. Entered the little car show on Sat, since I was not doing the drags ... here's a pic of how the car looked in race dress ;) I took the slicks off and put the billboards back on for the show. That's Clyde Johnson of the Gateway CC presenting .. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...97_Medium_.JPG Track pics will have to wait till the pro photog gets them sorted. He said he had a lot of shots of me. I don't know who else took any. Sam |
