I went to Chimney Rock yesterday. Nice mountain roads.

Here is a quick video of one.

Chimney Rock is about 1.5 to 2 hours away depending on how you do the speed limit. I stayed about 5 over and got there in about 2 hours. Good, because I passed by about 5 parked cop cars on the way.

Maybe one day we should have a caravan there?

A few pictures from the trip:







They have a huge park as well, where there are trails you can walk on. Very nice place. Let me know if anyone is interested, maybe start a new thread on a caravan there or something.

 

sounds like its kinda close to deals gap?? the dragon tail...

 

On the map it shows it about 30-40 miles away (in a straight line, not with the roads).

 

FYI-I used to run the Chimney Rock Hillclimb back in the 80's-before it was stopped.
The record holder and "King of the Mtn." for 11-12 straight yrs.
was John Finger-he built and ran a hillclimb special powered by a Mazda Bridgeported rotary.
John Finger now owns "John Finger Mazda" in Greenville,SC

 

Nice vids and pics stu! God I love the sound of a BP


On another brighter note, I might be getting a transmission this week guys!

 

Hey Stu, Next time you go over there holler at me. I would like to second the idea for a Mobile meet one month for a nice mountain cruiz. We can stop At my place in Saluda and have a BBQ lunch and stuff. Plenty of parking and a 2 car garge for mid-day mountain carb adjustments LET'S DO THIS!!! I used to live over that way. I would take those roads from hgwy 64 up to Asheville on the mountain then take it home and go up the hill. Super fun roads. Be carefull during the summer months though, heavily patroled on weekends due to all the bikes raceing up and down.BTW: What did you use for porting?A dremel or a real porting tool?

Sam The SA sounds great man. Hopefully at the next meet we can talk over a paint scheme/job.

I will most likely have an extra ticket to Zoom-Fest.( Elizabeth does not plan on going due to her BAR exam schedule) Soo if anyone is intrested in the last minte let me know. July 18-20. I plan on leaving either Friday afternoon or early Sat morn. Like around 5-6 am. Let me know guys/gals.It includes entry into the infield and all activities except lapping. Which is extra.

Update on Anthony's car: I have some parts primed but am haveing some issues with my new gun. I can't get it to stop spitting. I think it may be faulty. I tested it on my hood first to get used to the new HVLP and how it sprays. It was frustrating. Hopefully I will have it worked out later this week.

 

Will be going back up there today. I think I still have your number.

We used a air powered dremel thing, was fun

 

Pull-A-Part just recieved another second gen yesterday. If someone decides to go check it out, let me know if the trans is still there.

 

I might head up there tomorrow. Not sure if they are open today since its the 4th. Need to find an evap core still

 

Stu sent a PM.

 

where's this pull-a-part?

 

Pull-A-Part is only closed 2 days a year. Christmas and Thanksgiving. Here's the link...... http://www.pullapart.com/

 

Off tryon. For me, I hop on to independence, take the eastway exit, and take that to tryon, it merges there and maybe 1/2 a mile down it will be on the left

 

Lol man, I thought you ment back up to Sam's and not the rock. I will be going back there sometime next month. I like the weekdays since there isn't a lot of traffic and bikes on the road. I wish I could have uploaded more videos but all the ones I had I deleted. My friend was just screaming in most of them and tilting the camera into the turns. GOD that is annoying.

I will let you know in advance. Hell, we should get a couple guys to go with, like a meet/vacation there. And some FYI, about the halfway point in the trip to the point when we got there, there were tons of cop cars with speed traps. I mean tons. I counted 5 charger cop cars.

 

Recieved and Replied

 

Hey sam, got your message today, sorry I didnt call you back. Went to the movies and barbecue and whatnot with the fam. Glad she is a one twist start up now Call you tomorrow.

 

only good picture I have found so far

 

Stu you should have atleast used photo shop and cut out that guy in the front seat then you would have a nice picture. LOL HAHA, just joking sam, glad to here you got it running. Hey going to look at that car tomorrow, the guy is asking 500 bucks. My dad talked to him and he said the interior is good except the dash is cracked from being dry, and it has been painted once a while back. He said he cant remember when it was but it ran when he parked it. Maybe it will work out hope so. let you know what happens.

 

I just threw out a good dash a few weeks ago too

 

 

^^^^^^^^That is the freakin sweet^^^^^^^^^

 

It is still open too.

Oh, and don't leave your phone outside. It rains.
