[Old Greg]

Thanks for posting the link. I couldn't copy it with my phone.

[kokxville]

[greenpigs]

So I read Ron missed 3rd.....I take it he doesn't run a rev manual body.

COOL right up & I would like a shirt with the black pig(CAR) on it, Ron could use the money for BEER.

[71ChallengeHer]

That's awesome. Congrats, Ron. Great read.

Cool...thanks for posting the link 

They should be giving DC.com a plug because the article was written from text from this forum.

It's nice to see our little piece of cyberspace recognized elsewhere on the internet. Without Troys Leadership and Guidance none of this would be possible. 

Thanks Troy !!!

Looks like they did give the site a little shout out in the second paragraph.

Way to go on the press time Ron!! 

[tan top]

[69bronzeT5]

Very cool Ron!

[TexasStroker]

Nice write-up!

I'll pile on .... congrats Ron.

Hey all,

I'm glad you enjoyed the article. Being a member here for nearly a decade, when I saw Ron's story here, I knew it'd be a great article for StreetLegalTV.com (published HERE). It was hugely popular here, so I had it cross-posted to our sister publication Dragzine.com.



I want to thank you all who participated in the original thread and made this article possible. A great vote of gratitude to the DodgeCharger.com community!

Sincerely,
Kevin

[bakerhillpins]

Excellent! 

Enjoyed it a second time. 

[bull]

Very cool. I hope you get another chance to run on that show. I know how frustrating it can be to know your potential yet run into problems that prevent the chance to prove it. Kinda sounds like daily life.

[R2]

PINKS all out is done,,,they pulled the plug on the show for next year. ....so,,,Curtis,,,you will have to come with us to Norwalk in Sept, ,,for the chrysler classic event,,,,great show,,lots of Mopars,,,and all the "canadian" boys come down....
We'll save ya a spot with us, ,,feed ya,, ,and have some nice cool canadian beer.....

Very cool article.  Sucks about all the set backs though.  Congrats Ron, car looks great!  What's been your best run so far?

[Lifsgrt]

Wow Ron, a real-life celebrity!  And here I thought you were just a great guy!  Very cool, congrats on the recognition, well deserved.

Kevin, thanks for the very well written atricle.    I've forwarded it onto several friends and all agreed it was well done. Your writing skills are excellent

Curtis....it appears that Pinks is done but hopefully Speedvision will bring something similar back in the not so distant future 

There is a LOT left on the table & I just have to tune and tweak it. Life circumstances created a short deadline so there was no time to test & tune before the event. This summer i'll have more time to play around with it and work on all the deficiencies. It should be a mid 10 second car once all the bugs are worked out. 

At some point i'd like to try Hot Rod's Drag Week event and have some fun. It won't win but it would be somewhat respectable. The car is reliable enough to race and drive 1200 miles in a week.

Very cool article.  Sucks about all the set backs though.  Congrats Ron, car looks great!  What's been your best run so far?

Thanks Mike ! The best ET so far is 11.01 shutting down at 1000ft. Best MPH is 123 & best 60ft is 1.55 seconds....none of those on the same pass 

I was having trans issues so it needs to come out this winter....line pressure is low below 2500. That makes sense because my best 60 ft time was when i launched at 2500 (1.55) as I normally launch off idle and those were in the 1.6  range. Traction is a huge issue and this thing just wants to blow the tires off at launch....need work there !  I was also having fuel delivery problems....someone forgot to top off the gas tank.   

Wow Ron, a real-life celebrity!  And here I thought you were just a great guy!  Very cool, congrats on the recognition, well deserved.   

Thanks Jerry, hope to meet up with you sometime next year for some racing and a few 

I'll bring the Keiths

Ron

Hmmm. I'll have to see about making some plans...

[TUFCAT]

Ron, next year I want to be there with my "Ron Wilson Hot Rodded 383 Coronet".

Hopefully we can join our mutual friend Randy and his GTX.    

Btw, I don't want to see either one of you guys at the starting line with me.

[greenpigs]

Not sure if I can talk my Dad into going, but we may skip the nats to go to Norwalk but not bringing the Charger.

I'm quite sure Randy will be there with his sweet GTX along with a bunch of us Canuckians....it's allways a great time. Tommy....bring your car and race in the street class.    Most fun you'll have with your clothes on 

Not sure if I can talk my Dad into going, but we may skip the nats to go to Norwalk but not bringing the Charger.

No excuse not to bring your car. Tommy is looking for a grudge match !!

I guess I need to make sure my poop is running good next year, even if we have to just compare time slips here.
