I would like to run against Jeff Highboy32 again this year now that my coupe is running better than last year.
So here's my list:
Jeff Highboy32 in his '32 5 window coupe.
Mike dirtracker26 in his '29 roadster.
Ryan in his '30 coupe.
Chicken if he brings the falcoln, not if he brings the T LMAO!!!
So who are you gunnin' for?

I wanna line up with Stewed's HenryJ (weekenders old car)
I wanna line up with Buzzard
I wanna line up with Kerry
I wanna line up with the guy that has the old Anglia drag car (red)
Pretty much everyone......I love the pics that come out of the hamb drags. Jim Marlett rules.....
Any of the other HA/GR's, as long as they are running 14-15 seconds!:eek:
Not really, I'll line up side of any of them, thats what it is all about.
I'll get my ass handed to me by most of them this year, but the new motor will be in by next year and it's anybody's guess then!!:D :D

For sure we'll run them this year. We can race for the Thunderchief Cup, or something like that.

Just for the fun of it, I want to line up with one of the Slant 6 HA/GR cars for a battle of the Slant 6's. :D Be the first time I ever run the Krylon car down the 1/4 so I'm looking forward to it!

I'm wearing mine right now. This office work can be dangerous!
Whatever we call it, we should line 'em up and go.

I think me and Andysdeuce need to have a rematch from 05 since he couldnt make it last year.
Kerry

Let's see...
Flamedabone
Roothawg
Chicken
Fatabone (if he makes it this year)
Ross Auto Willys
DW
and ... anyone else who'll line up with me.
Last I heard Chicken was bringing the T. You really should run him Jay. It's a humbling experience. I usually check to see if my engine is even running while he's driving away from me.
I don't think it's to early to thank Jim Marlett for all his hard work and great pictures!!! You're the man Jim!

I'm hoping the young guy in the gasserized '57 Chevy shows up again. Our cars lined up next to each other at the lights would make a pretty cool pic! :)

Kerry has been after me for years...This year is probably his best shot with his little blown hemi car.
Truthfully, if Kerry has slicks, he should have me covered. Either way, it very well could be the HAMBs first 11 second side by side run from cars that actually drove there.
My heart is poundin' and my throttle leg is shakin'..
See you in a week and a half.
-Abone.

I too want to line up against Hiboy32.
Rocky if he runs something.
TrailerEd if he brings his RPU.
{From Rocky]:I'm bringin my 350 powered 46 chevy 4X4 pickup. I'll put it in low-range, 4 wheel drive and challenge anybody for the 1st 30 feet!
I wanna run FlamedAbone & Kerry. It'll be a blown Model A battle. It will be EPIC!
Only 3 of us? O.k. not epic, but it will be a blast:D

08-14-2007, 08:48 PM
D.W., I can't wait to see you beat on that coupe again! We really enjoyed watching you run last year.:)
Aw shucks, thanks for saying so. Come say hello when ya get there & I'll take ya for a spin in the ol' heap;)
The Scorpion car. Actually just some pics of both cars at the line would be good enough for me.

My first time at the Hamb Drags, so I am just happy to be going I guess I really dont care who I run as long as I run....how many passes should I plan on? Does the track sell fuel or should I bring it? Thanks.... Don
chicken
08-14-2007, 11:01 PM
Don,the track will have race fuel but probably not plain pump gas,so if you need the cheap (HA!) stuff better bring some along.
Jay....I'm bringin' the "T" this year so get that "A" cookin'! Man I need a longer trailer or more drivers or something so I can bring the Falcon too. It has wanted a piece of your car ever since the Hamb-b-que.
Did I just mention T&A in the same sentence? Maybe there'll be some of that too!
See you all in a week.....I'll be running at the "Fun Drags" at the track friday night,then camping at the track if Carl will let me. See you all Saturday at noon-o-clock sharp.

With the spinning 11's you ran last year I figured both Abone and myself are gonna be seeing your taillights. Win or lose it'll be fun running you!
BTW, mine's not an A, it's a Pontiac. Kinda fitting. You've got a Chevy powered A, Abone's got an A with Pontiac motivation, and I've got a Pontiac with hemi power.
Doh! I thought you drove a ford. Hope that ain't an insult! Honestly, I think we will make for a close match. When ya run side by side most of the way, it gets real exciting! See you guys there.

Hey Nick, I'll see 'ya there. Sorry I missed you in Louisville. I don't wanna see you buying any of that fancy "race" gas either!!!:eek::D:D

No insult taken. I kinda enjoy messing with folks minds. I like being a little different!

Kerry, we will see you at Mokan. Good seeing you when you visited Indy. I wanna see you run with the blower setup.

Likewise Andy. You'll see me run... hopefully you won't see me break.

I want to see Roadbuner bring my T's good sister (sodas38's old T) so we can match up on the two-lane blacktop...
And if I can't win that one, then I want to race Nosurf.
Maybe that will be a close one...

Ha, dont worry. race gas would probably do more harm than good. I may be a little quicker this year so watch out! Im gonna run my headers closed and see if it helps out at all.

I guess I'll race who ever I line up against. My Little RPU is no speed bandit, but I will get 25 mpg getting there! I guess I could bring the Willys, but then I would have to race Greezy, and I'd hate have to take off several plug wires so that it would be a fair race. :) So you guys there, Rusty.

Nick, in '05 I had a 3:50 gear in the rear and was running a single Holley carb. I now have a highway friendly 3:00 gear and the 3-deuce setup. I figure I lost about 11/2 second off my original e.t. in '05. Should be a close race now. It will be fun anyway no matter who gets to the big end first!!!:D

Just weighed the Falcon without me in it weighs 2650 on the dot with a half tank of gas , so bring it on...

Hey you better leave my plug wires alone...
I hate to say this but I might not be running anyone, Ive got a problem with oil purging out the draft tube at high RPM. Dont want to cause any problems on the track and I just dont have the time to fix it i.e. put in a pcv valve. We'll see though.

I'm about half a state away in KS......but really I was just kiddin'. I like driving/racing the T so much that the Falcon would just sit there. Unless Jay started in with the trash talk of course,lol. I'll just pull a bank of plug wires off the Cadillac in the T and run him.

A "bank" ? You mean like seven? LMAO :) :D :)
I think the falcon vs coupe could be settled "locally".......;)

Unfortunately, Roadburner1 won't be there at all. He does still have the T roadster for sale, though.
Malcolm
....Oh, and I definitely want to race Hot Rod Roadster (Gary) in his 2x4, 4-speed, built SBC, '64 full size Chevy Wagon.
He just put 3.73s in it and I'm throwing 3.70s in my car tonight. I'm really hoping it will be a close match up, but he might have the advantage. We'll just see how good he can drive that 4-speed! :D

Sounds like fun Schmalcolm, a classic ford verse chevy race, but when it's all done, in the infamous words of Dirty 31 " I'd rather lose a race shifting gears than win with an automatic " But I still think I'll win:D :D :D Gary

malcolm, you'd better be careful, i hear gary's car is a "real race car." isn't your car a "driver?" (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)
you all better fear the staab crate special in the sh*t box. i want a piece of that altered turd from south o. that would be another classic race, a turd vs. a piece of sh*t. HAHAHAHAHA see you there boys!
