Racer X

I've posted the Z elsewhere here, a picture of it with the race Z from a long time ago in my introductory post way back when, and most recently when I was in the first quarantine and I pulled it out of the back corner of the shop I started a build thread, and posted in the what the hell did I do today thread. By the way, you live close to this: Talladega Banking At 155mph by Racer, on Flickr Taken by yours truly, riding with Jeffery Earnhardt at 155. I was there with the Guacamole Express when I drove big trucks. It was right after the tornado ripped through Birmingham, and I was camped out at the nearby truckstop resetting my hours, so I bobtailed over to the speedway. The lady at the museum and hall of fame said I could take my car out on the track for a donation to the tornado victims. My truck wouldn't fit through the tunnel, so I got the ride in the Camaro pace car with the Earnhardt grandson. Jeffery Earnhardt by Racer, on Flickr Pretty cool, eh?

One more time. I win.

I think the neighbor is messin' with me.

Darn thing posted the wrong tune. I edited three time, and it still puts the wrong song in the post. Let me try this. Remove the song from the post and save it. Quote the post and insert the correct tune. Maybe.

We all have one of these guys in our neighborhood. Fortunately for me I have 6 acres on a one lane private gravel road, and my driveway is another 800 feet longer to the house. The toxic trash stench is faint, and I can see the guy comin' soon enough to get the shotgun ready.

Some of those threads are very interesting, and informative. Plus, I haven't turned a wrench on a Z since I parked the race car around 2009. I see a new way of approaching the various challenges of working on cars nearly 50 years old. Some neat insight to updating the fuel and ignition systems too. There has been a lot of change in the Z scene, and I've discovered I may be sitting on a small fortune in early Z cars. Of course Mrs. Racer 2.0 thinks I should capitalize on that and clean the place up some. Maybe I should trade her in. (jk) I'm looking forward to getting the brown Z driveable again, and then the others . . . . . . . . . stay tuned. Love the SCOTS, got YouTube playing a set of them right now. A guy I worked with years ago is from Roanoke, Virginia, and he turned me on to them, and some of the other Southern bands. Great stuff.

Apparently the forum limits how many likes I can give in one day, so here is a thumbs up!

Being in quarantine every night is Saturday night.

But will there be additional sponges for make up sex?

Went to the store the other day. Saw about a hundred cases of Corona virus. About 100 cases of Corona virus. by Racer, on Flickr I might have taken one home too. Quarantine you know.

I'd be happy with just one year's wages from this guy. Just one. I'd be set for life.

Being in quarantine every night is Saturday night.

Social distancing has its merits.

I dunno, Harlee is fine looking old blister. At my age I wouldn't turn her away.

Congratulations.

He isn’t a leader. He is a loser.

Awesome! Thanks so much for the information.

I know this is off topic, but it intrigued me. After a web search I am still left with questions. What throttle bodies, how are they adapted, and what are you using for electronic management?

You should be able to download, install and run the Microsoft Virtual Machine on any version of Windows 7. As for laptop batteries, I long ago gave up on running laptops without an AC power cord. My newest laptop is well over 10 years old, and works great, and will even run for a short time without AC power.

Have you tried using Windows Virtual PC? I found it useful to run some OEM (GM, Ford Service Bay, International trucks) service manuals from the 1990's that run from CDs, and refused to load and run on Windows 7 Pro.
