[mAydAy]

Y'all should make a trip down here to Richmond Dragway (Or Dinwiddie). My 850 is going to make its last passes sometime soon, and chances are, they'll be memorable and hopefully noteworthy

[500dollar744ti]

I'm sure you've seen plenty of 11s at all your trips to the dragstrip. Just not from my volvo. And now you won't on Sunday either! Just blew another freeze plug. So I'm tossing in the towel and gonna replace them all. Might be down for a while now, if the new head decides to show up sometime soon.

D'oh!!

[woodrowstar]

I'm definitely in. nuffin like overly expensive snack down at the Creek.

[500dollar744ti]

^^^ awesome, what will you be driving?

i am going to try slicks again, let's hope it does something good.

[woodrowstar]

[242GTMD]

Been there.

Boooooost pwns jb weld.

[500dollar744ti]

rob said he will still show in the corolla and let me borrow his slicks. :-D

[SteveMD]

I'm definitely in. nuffin like overly expensive snack down at the Creek.

Also nothing like going to the men's to drain your lizard and not noticing that the urinal is missing its plumbing. Pissed-on shoes FTL. To be fair that was like 15 years ago.

I'm tempted to come down and get some 'before' times out of my 240 though that is gonna be one long boring, jolting ride in this stiffly sprung/damped biatch.

[MrBill]

Been there.

Boooooost pwns jb weld.
frown. I hope my oem freeze plugs I bought are right :lol:

M47 and 3.31, IIRC. I think the stock head is causing it to run out of breath over 5k.

[lovethellama]

[RoadRacer4Life]

you know what my car looks like, just find it and you'll find me.

we should be the only volvo's there and thus easy to spot.

we usually park towards the back in the middle but that depends if the space is taken or not.

[lovethellama]

p.s-really pissed
