Checking in...
 

Hello all...

Just checking in just in case anyone here cared if I fell off the face of the earth or not. I haven't been on here (logged in or not) for maybe 3-4 months now. Just been really focused on running/racing my Stingray, basically from late July until 3rd week of Nov. in Las Vegas. When I'm in 'Running my car mode', I have pretty hard tunnel vision. Still building engine's & what not but try to back that way down when I have my car out. I have my car out so little, because I'm always working on customer stuff, I just have to be very selfish with it.

I did happen to catch up with some ZR-oners a few times, mid-Sept. John Boyd (Hammer), Kevin Pietro (Polo 1) & Joe Cagianut (diamondzr1) drove out to Spokane WA. to watch me race, which was awesome!

Then a few weeks ago in Las Vegas at the PSCA Street Car Supernationals, I met for the 1st time Ry (Zr1 Destroyer), he was there helping a friend of his that ran great & went on to win the class I was in!

I'm flat out busy these days tearing down & building engines as well as a bunch of porting but I'll try to poke my nose in & out when I can make time.

Take care everyone & be good :cheers:.

Ryan.

Since no one else will tell you, I will. While you were out a new ZR-1 Net president was elected and all Canadians were banned from the board.

Happy Holidays

responsible. Nah!

Beautiful car!
It's got a license plate! (I know it says FLYIN)
And the radio antenna is up!
Lower it = Faster times/less wind resistance.
Are you sure this isn't just a Photo Shopped
RC car? I have too much time on my hands........:dancing

Re: Checking in...
 

Thanks Ted. I've owned the car since 1988. Guess I've had it for a while now. Heck ya' it's got a license plate, I have two, one with a hole for the parachute to go through & another that has the current month & year tags for the street. The car has power windows but no power antenna, wasn't an option in those years. Funny you mention that, you made me look at it & noticed it actually has a bit of 'Whip' to it, it's a pretty stiff antenna so it surprises me a little.

Re: Checking in...
 

Congrats Ryan to you and your family. It wont be too long before shes asking for the keys to Daddy's ride. Enjoy them while they are young. Welcome back we missed you. GC

Re: Checking in...
 

Just a few tips....

1)Tire pressure looks alittle low, that could be dangerous on the highway. Myself, I always keep a gauge on hand and check once a week.

2)1976, not sure if you know this, but thats a whats called a "smog" motor and your probably only putting about 120rwhp....car looks like an L48.

Re: Checking in...
 

I have a K&N air filter on so I'm thinking 125...maybe :p.

Re: Checking in...
 

She may end up being like her Mom & can't drive a standard, LOL. Little chance of that happening though ;).

Re: Checking in...

Re: Checking in...

Re: Checking in...
 

The word around Spokane is "that car has a NACAR motor in it" :blahblah:

:wave:

Re: Checking in...
 

It's not legal for Nascar buddy. It runs on pump gas ;).

I had to get your address from Hammer today...

Re: Checking in...
 

That hilarious. I should have known you better. :worship:

Re: Checking in...
 

I have wondered where you've been! I understand busy. Time goes by so quickly anymore that I barely know what day it is sometimes.

The Stingray is absolutely awesome Ryan. I sure would like to see you run someday.

Congrats on the new addition. She's going to have something to say about your time & schedules too! :)

Glad you're back with us and appreciate the pictures!
