Englishtown Race... Big daddy 9.02 off the trailer

[RoTaRyBoYz]

VJ had a tough 2 races.... weekend before he damaged the Transmission at the Atco race and this weekend he blow the head gasket which caused him to lose a $7k head because of a damaged valve. Most teams stayed the week in NJ because the Englishtown race was days away and it was only 30mins from Atco raceway. Big Daddy and dem went back down to Florida to get some more parts to restock the booth and in the process they took out the spare engine that was in the truck from the Atco race. That was a very costly mistake he and Jason (his son) made, because he damage the head on the 1st qualifing pass on saturday. We searched the whole track to see if anyone had a stock head to sell but no one could help. The most frustrating part was just 2 days before the man had a complete spare engine with turbo etc sitting in the back of the truck, but they felt that they didn't need it becaus the car was woking good.
Here the video thanks to Julian of Nyce1's.... Big daddy's pass is around the 5.50min part of the video

No replies??? I guess alyuh fellas to young to know who Big Daddy is and what he used to race.... Herd a well known local 2J owner with a used Titan head said he'll give Big Daddy a run for he money I highly doubt that ..

We need a to make a "old skool" thread as a sticky so the younger ones will know what drags was like back in the day.. I just Emailed those pics to Jason, VJ's son... Keep em coming guys, lets see who else got pics of the rails and the Unico Kingswood

LOL, they give that man a visa to come here? Whose fault is it he blow a tranny and damage a head? Can you just chalk this bad luck up to poor planning by leaving things behind? He shoulda stock up his truck.

[RoTaRyBoYz]

You know when yuh making 1200-1400 hp with 40-50lbs of boost sheit gonna break.... Non of it was their fault really, its the nature of the beast... He should have left the spare engine in the truck but it was taken out in order for them to bring more parts to sell in the booth... remember its a family base team, with no big sponsers so they have to make racing money some how, so thats why they have the booth.. The man ran 9.0 in the first pass and i'm sure he has gone quicker... BTW he's still on a drag radial not a slick with a smaller turbo that before.. In his class it's usually within the top 4 qualifier, so that means that he's doing something right

[MANIAC]

i'm sure he has gone quicker...

Well he used to run 8's at Wallerfield ..... so, time to get in the 7's club !

[RoTaRyBoYz]

Drop some weight in the Popra, rip out the independant rear suspension (IRS)and slap in a ford 9" solid rear, add slicks and he will run in the 7.90's..
This car is being held back because of the class rules, if it wasn't for rules den we would see low 8's on the factory IRS with a set of slicks, all day long
