Wow! Just spent another wonderful hour chatting with Gary Pena!! Jay,he still calls his place "The Shop",just not open to public.Could tell he'd like to speak with you.
So he called me about an hour ago.....to tell me he had found his old time slips!!He did run 9.03 @ 149.xx on motor,but found a pass 9.00 @ 150.xx the absolute best.
On spray(nitrous)he ran 8.46@ 153.84,8.68 @ 151.77 and 8.71 @ 154.37!!!
So Kenny,you run anything on motor with an 8 as first # you got the RECORD!!!!
At Ponoma,he was set up for nitrous,ignition backed off,but he was rt,that little thing would launch...1.28 60 ft on motor.Later on nitrous,one of the runs above,60ft...0.912!!!!!!
WOW!
Going to send me some pics,was featured in HOTBIKE magazine.Asked about breakage......after Byron.......what breakage?
Wanted to know how RC Sr. was doing etc. He's 75 and still building and racing cars...9.20 Street Nova,just sold a 8.40 Mustang and talked about doing a bike!!
He did say Bill Hahn had passed recently? Can't think of him without thinking turbo and performance!
He's ...checking on some stuff for me
More later!Lot of fun we had,gotta email him link to forum!! 8)Bill
