A couple weeks ago myself (and family) and Al Corporon (and family) both brought our old cars to our trailer for the weekend (Sauble Beach Lake Huron) and Saturday evening brought the cars to Sauble Speedway (a small local circle track) and they had a car show, and let all the cars take a few laps on the track. I assumed there would be a super slow pace car but not so much.

They did mini interviews with people on the infield as the rest of the group circled around the outside. After we chatted with the interviewer he said “it looks like Ryan is going to peel out” I got the hint but not Amy…. I reved it up, dunked the clutch, got the tires spinning and Amy started screaming….. “Ryan NOOOOO” though we were going to run into someone….. nope she was just chicken…. So I didn’t so much of show for the crowd but we laughed about this for hours later.

So nice to have Al and Leslie (Part of Team Weaver Racing) over to the trailer, and so fun to go to Sauble Speedway.

PS: I need to make a list and do some little items to my Cutlass. Passenger side mirror flew off, etc.

I made good use of the car this weekend past at PSMCDR 2023!!

I took 15 trips down the drag strip, some faster than others :-)

Casey Marks, Diego Rosenberg Several of the MSU Project W31 “students” came to visit and one brought a 1968 Firebird 400 auto and we raced several times. (Foreshadowing) we were matched perfectly.

Later I was paired up with Chris Smetana’s 1968 Firebird 400 auto and we had a perfect shootout.

I will post the three time slips and those of you that know about drag racing will appreciate the hard fought battle. I won race #1, and Chris won #2 and #3. I wanted to win so bad but reaction time was my issue.

I reached a new personal best ET 14.15, and mph 98!!

My wife and Mom came to make sure Team Weaver racing was well represented.

I saw so many friends!!! And made new friends!!

I even had the opportunity to visit Bill Porterfield he is part of MSU Project W31 not as a student but he was an Olds Engineer from 1967 to 1999?

Since I turned 40 and made the life decision to get involved in my passion/hobby I have had so many incredible experiences… such as Bill Porterfield watching me drag race and checking on me each round….. he even found a loose nut on my steering rag joint…. We barely skimmed the surface of his decades of automotive experience, ZL1’s, Dick Harrell, Mid Engine cars, 200mph cars, I won’t forget this visit ever!!
