[linuxman51]

[Volvofly]

Would love to see that 242 on PINKS.

[Tha VZA]

no doubt eh

kenny go race him

ciao

[IceCold4x4]

what track was that at?

[benflynn]

newbama in sumiton

[IceCold4x4]

1/8th right? cool. what kind of times did you make, didn't get a good enough look during the video

[benflynn]

best was a 9.2@78
my second time at a strip, i think i will be a lassiter mt on wed

[IceCold4x4]

cool, i may try to slide up there on wed night. Last time i was at lassiter they had soo much vht on the track it was insane. Maybe it'll still be that way for some good brake boosting hehe.

[m4ld0.^]

i think that would be SOOOOO awesome to see two volvo's go on Pinks. that would make my life so near complete at the age of 17.

[stylngle2003]

why does that guy in the 242 SUCK at moving his car in a controlled fashion?

i'd be scared ****less to be anywhere within 50' of the front of that thing


ps...what did he run?

[benflynn]

6 something, i think the front tires came off the ground, sme of these guys were drinking, and not too freindly, he is lucky i let him win:badboy:

[linuxman51]

newbama in sumiton

[jfs356]

[benflynn]

So, you're not gonna wait to put the white car back on the road first.

I doubt the black car would survive pulling the Submarine back that far.

Better make sure Paige is off work that night first. Maybe Ryland can be on standby...

[benflynn]

i didn't think about not having my spare car at the momnent, but the highspeed long i65 runs i have been doing are probably alot harder on it, i am always waiting for the boom clank of my engine departing this planet, i am seeing blue

cool ass video. looks like a good time

[745 TurboGreasel]

You might be behind if you have to zoom on the other car before 1/8 mile

[kahlua240]

YAY for alabama. go to steele some time, its a nice 1/4.. not too far away.

[Gene_GaTech]

haha not to freindly? whatever, let ATL mikejr go down there and lay down the wagon-smack-down.
btw he shoots fire, way cool. :roll:
I had a stupid accord purge at me last night. I purged all over his face when the light turned green. Stupid ricers

heh, no. for as bad as he left ben, i would assume that that 242 is somewhere in the mid/high 6's in the 8th? can I get a confirmation on that?

a 9.2 isnt bad atall, on street tires and low boost I average somewhere between an 8.8 and a 9.0 (at 85-86) in the 8th

[benflynn]

he was in the 6's, and 9.2 was a best for me, avg was about 9.6, i need a locker

[oldschoolvolvo]

nice vid...that tubbed 242 is sweet looking

[Gene_GaTech]

I have this feeling that the guy doesn't give a crap about the volvo itself, like most of the guys on here. But he just needed something that could hold his huge v8 and wouldn't be a piece of junk like all the old american crap.

of course ill be on standby. just bring the towstrap! Good to see the vid up. This is only the beginning. My camera work will improve as well. That night it was 30 something degrees (my fingers operating the cam were numb) and i had not picked up a video cam in years.

P.s. The grey car is running strong. Autolite 63's took all the fussyness out of my car. Cant wait to throw down @ lassiter!

not bad for a cold camera man & some good tunes. Although we really havent put our creative sides to use yet... That was just one night at the strip... Wait till we get some footage of us going through the tunnel sideways!

bump for the bud

[mAydAy]

Whats in the red 242?

[RYRY745]

sbc my guess w/ lots o nitrous. It was dark when the hood was popped but it was a v8 with 4bbl.
