Guest zfan Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Went racing friday night at Ennis's 1/4 mile track. Place was dead, hardly anyone there but low and behold guess who showed up! Anyone remember Ricer Rick, Rick B. with the white 280Z with a 350 sbc/700 on giggle gas? I had not seen him in probably two yrs. His Z is as good looking as ever and pretty quick to boot. he was running low 12's on a little shot of nitrous, I think 12.10's. I have a pair of swastika rims that I am going to give him as I scored some 15x8 rims for my drag radials. Didn't help as the best 60 ft. I cut was mid 1.70's...sucks! I ran 11.60,11.70 and last 11.80. Getting slower and slower, low and behold I started getting bad valve train noises and found that the poly locks on my roller rockers keep backing off so I had run on 7 cylinders..OOPS! I also need new valve springs so that will happen next week. My friend Jodie ran his Jenson Healy with a 400 sbc/700r4 combo. He ran 11.30's but hit the nitrous he just installed and went 10.65 at 127 on a 150 shot. Problem is he has running stock push rods(a no no) He bent to of them, one so bad it ended in the lifter valley. Time for some hardened high quality push rods. Funny he cut a corner there as his motor is all forged just like mine but he didn't think he would need them. Ha Ha, live and learn.
