Black Pig - 3931 - Ron Wilson PINKS ALL OUT

[Tilar]

Damn that sounds like a hell of a lot of fun for one weekend. I sure wish I had remembered it was last weekend, I'd have made the trip just to watch it run. 

[BBKNARF]

That's a great run Ron  if you only had a little more time to work out the bugs and a few more test runs I'm sure you would of climb your way up the ladder.
I'm guessing  a 10.50 pass in a 4000+ car. What is your guess ET.

What track do you normally go to ?

 wow sorry to hear about all your gremlins and mishaps

[Charger-Bodie]

Sometimes thing just go that way Ron. Looks like you had alot of fun even though.

Hopefully your interview makes the cut. That would be cool!

[General_01]

It's all about the experience Ron. You can go kick some Camaro ass anytime. Glad you had a good time and met some new people. As you said, next time it will be a different story on the track. I am just totally impressed with how you were able to even get the car ready in short order.   for your effort. The car and engine look excellent. Awesome!!

It should be a 10.50 car based on the power the 572 made but i still have lots of experimenting to do. It makes killer torque so i really have to heat up the Drag Radials or it just blows them off. I just brought the converter up to 2000 and launched so there's more experimenting to do. It might hit harder just launching off idle ? I'll find out soon enough ! 

Frank, we race at Napierville....about 30 miles south of Montreal, just north of the New York state border. Nice track with good prep. 

As for making the field....they ended up picking a low 10 class so it's not likely i would have qualified anyway if that's any consolation. 

I might try and make a few OSCA races next season. My buddies who were also @ the Bristol Pinks.... race that series and want me to come down. 


Thanks to all the members for their positive comments. I wish i could have done better but that's just part of the game.

Sorry about all the problems you had Ron 

Cant wait till your closer and i see you race again with the pig 

[71ChallengeHer]

Ron, Sorry you had problems.  You should try to be on Pinks @ Maple Grove Speedway. Then I could go .    I'll be there this weekend , watching the Nats.

Sounds like our first time out with the Bel...But Ron...what a blast it had to be! Just being there has to be amazing with all the great cars like yours! I hope they keep you in the show and next time...no matter who is going...the forum has to know! You would have had one heck of a pit crew! I can see it now...this is my car...my best friends...my girl...and the entire group from DC.COM!

Thanks Brian. Looking forward to watching this episode. There were a lot of nice cars there ! 

The racing was good and the final 8 was exciting.

Ron, Sorry you had problems.  You should try to be on Pinks @ Maple Grove Speedway. Then I could go .    I'll be there this weekend , watching the Nats.

Hey Jackie, MG would have been much closer. I'm gonna try for something in the northeast next time.

You know the drill Tom....you've had your share of problems as well and can sympathize. We both need to keep at it. Things can and will improve.

Thanks Dean.   It was a mad thrash just to get it running but well worth it. The experience was excellent !

That car is so Bada$$!
Those 2 guys on the right in the second picture say it all.  
Pretty sure if I look hard enough I can see a little daylight under the front left tire. 

[kamkuda]

Sorry I missed the event, it looked like a lot of fun.  Hope to line them out some time

[tan top]

   good stuff !

[BrianShaughnessy]

 

Congrats on what you accomplished Ron!     Next time will only get better!   

[Bob T]

Great stuff, and driving 900miles one way to do it , Top effort ,Great pics  and good luck on your next runs   

[charge69]

Really nice going,  sir and have better run at things next time. The show "Pinks All Out" will be in Houston Oct 15th & 16th and my friend is going to go down there with  his 1969 Roadrunner just to get a few timeslips.  Hope he has more than just 2 runs , though.

Guess you never know what they end up with but his RR is a very low 11/high 10 second car thru the mufflers. Basically , it is a fast street car with some track time too. I will go to help him "pit crew" the RR but  will not have my Hemi Charger there , sadly.  Doubt it would make the cut anyway.

Gonna be interesting and congrats again on going 900 miles to run your Charger.  That took a lot of dedication just to get there!

[richRTSE]

Congrats Ron! That's one bad a$$ Charger! I know those weren't the times you were hoping for, but thats still plenty fast for a HEAVY street car...(I was kinda suprised to see the heater, power steering, battery in front)...get those bugs worked out and you'll be flying!!

[R2]

Here are a few more pics for ya Ron.....

[71ChallengeHer]

Frank, You can crash at my place. Or at friends in Reading 

[DC_1]

Even though you didn't do as well as I'm sure you hoped, I'm looking forward to seeing the episode!

[Blown68Coronet]

Hey it's all good in my books Ron,
We put her back together in time, unfortunately no time left for trial runs to work the bugs out but you met a lot of people and a good time was had and NOTHING broke!

We'll get Evil's 10sec timeslip at the"ville" this saturday,
if we have to as a last resort we'll tie a rope to the back bumper of the Coronet!

Nice pics fm Pinks photographer...... and Dr Douggie!!
