Hi!  my name is Tim and I like to drive fast.  Just wish I could go faster. :-D  I'm sure I've met some of you before either at El Mirage or Bonneville, I'm no one special but I always have a good time racing.

OK, that may be a lame intro but I've never really known how to do it.  So here I am!   :-)

Welcome Tim. I know a guy named Tim with a pickup like yours :-D

Tim, good to see you here! :cheers:

Racemethen,
Welcome. A 68 Dart, very nice. I see the containment seat against the tires. That shows your head is properly located and your foot is firmly planted on the loud pedal. Will you be able to make the Ohio meet? We need all the Dodge guys we can get.

This LSR stuff is way cool. I wish I had started earlier in life!! As it is I have been burning fuel 1/8th mile at a time. I'm just down the road from you in Lewisville. You ever been to the Farm? Plm Krze SRT8, that's me.

Thanks for the welcome!  Tman has been trying to get me over here for a while and I've been meaning to join but working on Y-Blocks keeps me pretty busy.  Gathering parts for a "new and improved" engine for the Uni that will debut at Elmo in May if all goes to plan.  Also got a new one for the dragster but that's for a different board.  :wink:

Being that I'm new here tell me what to look for and where the excitement is.  I heard there is a nightly chat? or is that one night a week?

Well I'm a bit slower on adding to the welcome, but it's good to see you have your priorities straight.
Rather fond of that engine series.

OK..so here I am, another newbie, (Rookie ?) but I was sent here by LandSpeed Louise.She said I would have fun here as well. This will also mark my first trip to the salt flats in August. I thought it best to bring my Grandson along to learn, (along with my learning as well) about this place. I will update my profile so you can see where I am from (Wisconsin) but try not to hold that against me :-)

Oh, no!  Do you realise that by taking your grandson to the salt you may create a monster that'll have wonderful memories for the rest of his life?  A monster that'll brag to his buddies about how he and you went to the coolest place there is, anyplace?

Wonderful, Bjohnny.  Great to have you hear.  C U Soon.

Oh, no!  Do you "REALISE" that by taking your grandson to the "SLAT" you may create a monster that'll have wonderful memories for the rest of his life?  A monster that'll brag to his buddies about how he and you went to the coolest place there is, anyplace?

Wonderful, Bjohnny.  Great to have you "HEAR".  C U Soon.

Ah, Stan, how can I ever thank you for pointing out the errors of my typing?  I've already fixed the gross error (and it was gross, I agree), so the rest of the folks will think that you copied my stuff and farkled with it just for the sake of being cruel.  As for realise -- I usually spell it that way.  It's the more "British" version, and even though my spell checker doesn't like it - I use it to spite the American way of using the King's English.

So how's it now? :lol:

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,  I'm new to LSR and hope to make my first pass at the "Ohio Mile" in April. My car is still unfinished, but I can see light at the end of the tunnel and I hope it's not a train. The car was being built to run 1/8 and 1/4 mile drag racing, but a few friends shared their LSR experiences with me and I wanted to try. The car is a 1985 Buick Regal powered by a 504 Cadillac. I think I will be AA/GC, but I'm sure I'll learn for sure while going through tech. Look forward to seeing some fast cars and meeting some fellow racers. My name is Don, but I'll answer to most anything not too ugly. "Hey You" works well also.

Both are on the forums build diaries
