Wow good job! He said he wanted to get below the 12 mark, and looks like he made it. Congrats!

[greenpigs]

Midget? Does Ron sit on a phonebook or a block of foam on race day? Is that with a 440?

[Back N Black]

Car looks great Ron! 

[Charger-Bodie]

Great to hear!! Congrats Ron!!

Cant wait to check it out at Monster Mopar.

The 446 cubic inch monster must be getting close to being tuned in "EH".

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Tilar posted a video of a 12.1 second run (you gotta pause it when the camera whips up and to the right to see the time).

Looking GREAT Ron!!! 

[firefighter3931]

Thanks for the Kudo's guys.  

I'm in Louisville hangin with my gracious host Doug   for a few days then we're off to MM for some more fun.    

Doug's 65 ran great ; 10.30's @ 130 mph.....not bad for a 440 huh ?  

On the 11.96 pass I treed the other guy (.021 light) and had him at the stripe.....all i had to do was tap the brakes for the win but i wanted that 11 sec timeslip BAD !   I kept my foot in it and broke out....some things are just more important.  

The Black Pig is heavy & is living up to it's namesake.......raceweight is 4100 with me in the car. MPH is descent @114+ so it's working well for what it is. Not bad for a street car running 446 cubes.

Member Blown68 had his 68 Coronet honkin pretty good running 10.30's @ 130 MPH and our other buddy Mark had his procharged 540 Hemi Roadrunner running 9.70's at 140+  

Last but not least ; Kamkuda was there helping with tech and providing lectures on the virtues of fuel injection vs carburation. Rob also did a fantastic job on the grill. 

All in all a great w/e....this makes all the hard work worthwhile.  

Make sure to stop by @ MM if you happen to be there.

Great job Ron! Looks like it would be a hell of a heads up race between you and me....I'm still looking for my 11 sec timeslip....we need to get together and run sometime. You going to the Mopar even at LV?

Hi Doug !

I'll be in St Louis at Monster Mopar that w/e.....so unfortunately i can't make LVD for the mopar show. Good luck and post up your slip when you can....i'll do the same. 

I agree....our cars would make a great heads-up race.

My best was two weeks ago...12.11 and 111 mph at Atco. The weather was bad and getting worse...I've been waiting for some better weather and I think I have the settup I need for the suspension. I'm still 60 footing at 1.9 but I'm running 116 MPH through the traps...

Keep up the good work!

[TexasStroker]

Nice runs!  11s in street trim is very impressive 

[bull]

Jeez, 4100 lbs.? How much of that weight is due to the Sam Adams?

[RD]

lol @ Bull's comment!!

congrats ron! i may see you at MM, waiting on how things go throughout the week, family (wife and kids) have been taking turns getting sick.

[mally69]

Good job Ron, Those are some nice times your running.

Mmmm Beer.

[firefighter3931]

The 446 cubic inch monster must be getting close to being tuned in "EH".

Brian, i ran the numbers through the calculator and it show's 477rwhp to run 114.25 @ 4100lbs raceweight. The same calculator shows 555 flywheel HP to run that number....seems about right based on the engine dyno results. I'm pretty sure it's "maxed out" power wise but i might be able to get it to ET better with some improved short times. Time for the big cube wedge.

Mmmm Beer.

Still got some Keith's and Sleeman's honey brown left over. Rick also gave me some Great Lakes beer so we're in good shape.  

We'll be there thursday afternnoon setting up in the pits.  

Have a safe drive down.  



Ron

[firefighter3931]

i may see you at MM, waiting on how things go throughout the week, family (wife and kids) have been taking turns getting sick.

Hope things are getting better at home Jamey. 

It would be fantastic if you can make it down.....i don't know when i'll get back out again to the Midwest....i have an 1100 mile tow home.   



Ron

[RECHRGD]

Those are some impressive numbers out of 446 cubes....nice work Ron!

Congrats Ron!  Fran told me your car looked great, wish I would have seen it. It's a shame I'm only an hour away and didn't make it out there this year...

TRUE THAT

It's a good thing Ron has a badge to flash while crossing the border, as that trunk picture has got to qualify as bootlegging in most states...   

Great finished product there Ron, thanks for stopping by the Car Show area Sunday (I seem to be quarrantined there for some reason).  Wish I could have caught a pass or three!

[RIDELIKEHELL]

Well it seems that we have 2 things in common..a 68 Charger & the love of the finest Canadian Beer! KEITHS RED is also one I tend to induldge in That car is definately a beast! Great to hear your times! Kudos!

Now I see how you tweaked it and the times got faster... The more you drink, the lighter the car gets. 

I gotta say that was the first Canadian Beer I think I've had, and I'm pretty sure I could get used to that.

[Steve P.]

Hey Ron, is that 4100 pounds WITH the beer in the trunk??

[firefighter3931]

Hi Gene....great seeing you too ! You had your hands full over on the showside and i was busy racing so it's a shame we didn't spend more time together.  It's a good thing i left when i did....the Pro class was just starting to race when i got back over to the pits...had to hussle bigtime to get to the lanes !

It's surprising how big the trunk of a charger is....there were 8 cases of beer in there when that pic was snapped.  Most of it is in Ohio/Michigan & Kentucky. 

See ya @ Carlisle next year 



Ron

[R2]

yup,,,,i got some Keith's sitting in my garage as we speak.....Ron was very generous with beer,,gifts,,couldnt ask for a nicer guy.....First Class all the way.........

Hated seeing the Black Pig getting wet, ,,,hope you didnt mind me drying it off .. .. lol

[vegasmike]

Ron, the car looks awesome and has that killer stance.. It just says,  "I'M going to give somebody a beatin".

[firefighter3931]

Doug, thanks for taking care of the wet Pig and all your help cleaning rubber off the quarter panels. I can see why both your cars look so nice.    Hopefully some of that attention to detail rubs off on me ! 

Ron, the car looks awesome and has that killer stance.. It just says,  "I'M going to give somebody a beatin".

Thanks Mike ; I'm pleased with the appearance but the power needs some upgrades. 



Ron

[Blown68Coronet]

Uh... Ron.... About the power not being enough.......... Welcome to the club Buddy!  You're never going to be satisfied now, you'll just keep wanting more and more.... it's a sickness LOL

[Steve P.]

Uh... Ron.... About the power not being enough.......... Welcome to the club Buddy!  :nana:You're never going to be satisfied now, you'll just keep wanting more and more.... it's a sickness LOL

I agree... I asked Ron on the phone if he felt like he was in his 20's again. He said no, noy really. I said: "Well I guess you need more motor then".

It's a natural thing to want more of what makes you feel good.  I think that's why I named my first Coronet "The Other Woman"..     

[Blown68Coronet]

Steve, I saw a white 65 Coronet at Norwalk with that name, is that your ol car? If so she's a hottie!

[vegasmike]

Yes Ron, I know what you mean... It's never fast enough and your always thinking what else can I do to make it faster... Guess I'm going to have to raise big Al's rent... I need the speed........

[jb666]

I loved the videos, thanks for posting!! The car's looking awesome!!! 

[Steve P.]

Steve, I saw a white 65 Coronet at Norwalk with that name, is that your ol car? If so she's a hottie!

Hey bro. I sold my 1st. 65' Coronet 500 , "THE OTHER WOMAN" way back in 1985' in Rochester, NY. The guy that bought it campaigned the car in the same Firemist red and gold leaf writing for about 15 years all over the North East after he bought it. A few years ago I tracked him down and oddly enough he now lives in Florida as do I. He's on the other coast though. BUt he told me he was getting ready to restore it and start racing it once again. I haven't ever heard back since so I don't know if he painted it back to white as the original or what.  I do know there is a 65' Plymouth with the same name on the doors. Mine was the first though. I'm told there is a magazine shot of the car somewhere, but I don't know which one or when.  If I ever do race again I WILL use the same name. I have a few pics of it back in the day, but the paper is getting pretty bad. You can hardly make out the gold leaf lettering on the quarters.

If you or anyone else ever sees it again, please try to hook up with the owner and get info. for me. I would love to know what's what with her today.....

[Purple440]

That's one cool "Black Pig" Ron    Nice to see it in action, thx for the vid.



- Doug

[Mfr426]

Ron, fantastic thread and great run. That engine looks really potent - all business and nice and tidy. 

Power and nice paint, what a great combination. Enjoy! 

PS: Thanks for all the help with my beast. We're up and running nicely again.
