Hiney.....

[blown49]

No pics, cutting steel this week.

We have '29 A front end, Winters QC, motor, seat out of a Cat D8, wheels, tires, tranny and some odds and ends.

Best I have at this time (drawing not finished yet.) Laid out for 125" WB 600-15 fronts, G78-15 rears. Roll cage 1-3/4" x .118 mild steel tube with front, side and rear supports.

[Mr. Mac]

I like your drawings,your well on your way.
I gotta ask,why are you making it so long?

[ThingyM]

Mine came out to 128" and change with out even trying. Alot depends on how you mount the front and rear axels I guess.

[blown49]

I like your drawings,your well on your way.
I gotta ask,why are you making it so long?

Our club driver Rebstew preferred we make it longer than the original 115" I designed it at. He felt the additional length made it safer. Using 2"X3"X3/16" for the rails only made it weigh 6-1/2 #'s more;) Who am I to argue cause safety is paramount to us all.

Your absolutely right about the safety if the driver feels comfortable with 115 or 130 so be it. I was just curious,our first car was 115 and the second car is 120. Both goes straight as a string.

[blown49]

I just hope he doesn't go to sleep in this comfy Catapillar D-8 seat!

[Drewfus]

Just in regards to the numbers/builders etc, any chance we can add to the decription what powerplant they run, and maybe later on, some more statistics (like ET & speed)?

interesting thus far, where's all the 'build' threads?

Cheers,

Drewfus:D

[Rand Man]

Each team really should put up a build thread on each car. If Anybody needs help with posting photos, etc, send me a PM.

[GMC BUBBA]

I have been thinking that myself. It would sure help the builder of a new car.
What are you thinking? Car , number, wheelbase, engine, gear ratio, tire height, weight ( if known) What else??
Maybe multiple pictures of different angles etc.
Maybe a single thread of all the registered cars , progress ET's from previous races etc.
Is Hiney still the quickest ????:D At 12.43- 106mph ???

[Old6rodder]

Each team really should put up a build thread on each car. If Anybody needs help with posting photos, etc, send me a PM.

Over the holidays I'd also had the idea for a "Stats" thread for the class.
To that end I recently inquired of Ryan about the possibility of a "sticky" (correct terminology?) thread here on the HA/GR site for that purpose.
I'm thinking of a general spec sheet of some sort, a single photo and links to more at the will of the posters.
I also suggest limiting the responses to PMs to keep the base thread uncluttered.

Your idea of independantly posted threads covering our builds is a great one, is there a way they could be organized for handy reference? A link in the proposed "Stats" thread posting of each car to its build thread would work of course but it doesn't exist as yet, so is there another way to "catalogue'em? Sadly, I'm not computer literate enough to be of any specific help.

How 'bout it, anyone ?

CRAP, I wish I didn't type so damnably SLOW!

Did you have to bring up the Hiney thing. He mabe the quickest but he can't cut a light worth a shit.:D :D :D

[Old6rodder]

Well, that was quick. Thanks, Ryan.

Gentlemen, Ryan's agreed to do a thread for this idea. Would you title the posts by car name & number first or by team name first?

as .......
Team Geezerspeed, Barn Job #18

or ........
Barn Job #18, Team Geezerspeed

I think I like the latter myself, I tend to think of the car first. What say the rest of you?

[Mr. Mac]

Sounds cool,count the Ram Rods in.

Good idea on the build sheet.

Bob, We're going to try to take the record away from you.....if I can ever get my parts and get the damn thing built. Then if I can figure out how to get it started. I never was too mechanically inclined.

I think I like the latter myself, I tend to think of the car first. What say the rest of you?

To keep the ball rolling as such, I'd propose one thread containing the following....

* Car No./Name, Team Name:
* Engine/G'Box/Diff:
* Current E.T. & Speed (Note the Driver & place):

(Note: this would be 'sticky' type thread which would only contain the appropriate info above, updated by the user as appropriate)

And people can create a seperate/individual 'build/development' thread as they desire, illustrating any particulars, recommendations, improvements etc.



This is something which I feel will achieve two things,

1. allow new, interested potential builders/racers to see what already exists, and get a 'feel' of where we(as a group) are 'at'

2. it also assists those of us who already have cars, to 'keep tabs' on what's happening as these types of cars increase in popularity, and to also encourage new growth based on our experiences and understanding.

The above may sound 'namby-pamby', but I really believe that a formal listing, as well as individual build threads will see the 'class' grow in leaps and bounds.

Cheers,

Drewfus

How's this (the part above the line) for a format?

To keep the ball rolling as such, I'd propose one thread containing the following....

Add a picture or two of the car here ??

[War 'n Petes Racing]

Hi Guys,

Aussie FNG here and ready to get involved!

As I have mentioned in my intro a while back I have a '54 Ford Truck. It is flathead powered (apparently not uncommon in Australia to have 54s with flatties). It is a short wheel base truck with original duals on rear.

I have big plans for resto of truck but it will be a long way off, so I plan to use the drive train (and possibly front axle) for a Hambster build.

I am yet to contact Drewfus so I will refrain from nominating a number until I check in with the Aussie Hambsters.

HA/GR No. ??
"HIGH ALTITUDE HAMBSTERS" (sorta like HA HA/GR!)

Name: Prescilla
Team: "HIGH ALTITUDE HAMBSTERS""

Engine: Ford Flatty (from '54 F Truck)
Trans: 3 spd from truck

Rear Axle: Likely to be from Truck also
Tires : ??
Front axle: ??

:)

-Pete.

[Ryan]

thank you guys so much for doing this... I plan to get you guys tags as soon as I find the time.

HA/GR 13

Name: <undecided> (Well it is decided but we're not saying...YET)
Team: Scroungers CC, Cincinnati,OH
Engine: Mercury Flathead 239 cuin before we started.
Trans: 3 speed stick

Rear Axle: Winters Quickchange.
Tires (rear) Coker Classics wide whites
Front axle: 1934 Ford

ET: Well, Since we almost dropped the engine while putting it between the rails due to a sticky hydraulic valve, we are claiming the DOWNWARD engine speed record of 1.5 feet in .025 heartbeats.

[REJ]

Glenn, I'm not going to ask about the "pucker" factor when it dropped. I did that with a boat several years ago while I was standing on it and I know what you mean.
By the way, looking good so far!!

[blown49]

I was guiding the engine down at the front with tennis shoes on when the "HYDRAULIC VALVE" problem occured. Next week I'm wearing safety shoes.

Oh & BTW the cu/in is 255 and not 239. (Glenns a Chevy guy at heart!)

[Mr. Mac]

Arg! That would have hurt BAD.:o

[sgtlethargic]

Can I reserve a number although I'm just in the pipe-dreaming stage?

Thanks,
Kurt

[sgtmcd42]

The car number reservation was really a Hindman thing for the sdra. If you want an sdra number reserved let Bob Hindman now.

[sgtlethargic]

Well, I know nothing about the SDRA deal, yet. I'd like to reserve number 138 for a HA/GR, in general. Also, I'm wanting to run propane for fuel.

Thanks,
Kurt

[Rand Man]

HA/GR's don't require car numbers. You can number your car anything you want. The SDRA broke away from the HAMB rules to form their own group. They are based in Oklahoma. HA/GR is gasoline only at this time.
