S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here? Build Thread

[PatrickStapler]

Good lord, are those the original tires???

AVON’s…they still make tires today.

 

[PatrickStapler]

Look what showed up in ITE.
He say what kit it is?

I ask, because there is one that races with us at the Mid-America Ford Shelby meet. He can’t race with us regularly because the cars aren’t considered vintage legal.

This is an original right hand drive car….it’s beautiful.

Congratulations Sal

Should have been a win but I couldn’t shift the car. Maybe tomorrow.

 

[Fabman]

He has soooo much more to loose. I wonder if he will drive it?

He was a DNS so not sure what went wrong.
He qualified the car so he apparently intended to race it.

 

[TMSBOSS]

Maybe the HPDE folks told him how mean you are.. Could have happened. Lol

 

[Fabman]

Qualifying/Personal best: 1:56.9
Probably shouldn’t try to push past this until I get the brakes sorted out.
Let me just survive the day and that will be good enough

Congrats on a PB under tough circumstances! Any thoughts about adding ABS? Surely that would help out a ton.

[Fabman]

This guy wasn't very happy...he blamed me for spinning out and catching the field on fire.
Pretty sure I had the line, eh?

 

[PatrickStapler]

I’m confused…the guy was behind you and blamed you for spinning him out…

Exactly.
