Day of Drags this week. Lets start trash talkin.

[67Imp.Wagon]

Flt-Blk had just started this in the special Drags section but I think it should be on the main board so no one misses it causeing further embarassment for the losers.

In the last 2 years its been one win one loss for the wagon.

This has to be settled this year.

I'm looking for a primered Hudson to be lagging behind this year. All I've done is correct last years problem.

I ain't SKEEEERED!

[stealthcruiser]

your car wouldn't pull a greasy string from a cats ass!

hows that for trash talkin'?

[CRAP]

I would race you for pink slips but I had trouble selling the last pos chevy I won.

[Bass]

Well...I'm not going to do any trash talking.

It doesn't look like the axles for my new 9 inch are going to get here in time...so I'm probably going to explode the 10 bolt that's in the car now the first time I launch pretty hard.

I guess we'll see...It should be entertaining nonetheless. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[OutLaw]

I was thinkin we need to have a grocery getter class for 4 doors and wagons.

[Kev Nemo]

I'm there If can get the cash for the main seal repair and headers by then...
There is a sweet 6-71 Roots supercharger on ebay, but that looks like tax time goodies from here... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

[67Imp.Wagon]

Hell Bass, just start in the burnout area and get ya a good rolling start.

Or just leave your tires wet and make excuses about hook up problems because your motor is so bad ass now after you get your time slip.

[buzzard]

I'm gonna let my timeslips do the talkin'. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[hankcash]

I wanna foot-race Buzzard down the strip!
HC

[67Imp.Wagon]

Me and Bubba had a foot race in front of the Continental Club. He does'nt want any more of that.

[krupanut]

I can guarantee one thing.

I'll be the fastest roadster on the strip!

Or at least the fastest primer black roadster with white scallops and black wheels from Travis County, north end of Austin, the oaks sub-division, Sbc powered.....

And not just the fastest, the ugliest too. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[hudson_hawk]

if you see a chalked out black primer wagon, tell'em the kid is looking for him.

Cool deal. His coupe looks and sounds like it runs hard, judging from the video. Can't wait to see it go. Hopefully Hotwheel will bring his out, too.

[Kool Kat]

Outlaw, Fatluckys, BLAKE bring it on! I'll take you all.

Huh?? Did somebody ring??? I'm out too! I picked up a noise in the bellhousing....either the clutch springs are coming apart or pressure plate issues. Better leave it at home until I can figure it out....especially since I don't have a scattershield....don't want a Big Daddy Don Garlits limp.

That rots! I wanted to see your hemi and make a pass or two against ya. :-( You still have a few evenings...

[Kerry]

Hey, Is Norm going to be there? Try and talk him into making a pass or two with his hemi roadster. Cool car!!! I'd like to see what it would turn. I tried to talk him into a pass at the HAMB drags but he was trying to baby his flex plate.

[Kustom55]

"The chief" will be at home resting this weekend by I will be racing on Friday.....racing thru 12 packs. I'll be in front of the tattoo parlor. stop by and ill bring the stopwatch.

[Evilfordcoupe™]

Reggie,

I have a pressure plate you can have. I know, you've been known to make mad thrashes the night before these events....

Don't have the energy to thrash this time. I might still take you up on the pressure plate though http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Kerry,
that does rot....however, Norm will be there with his Hemified roadster....and he is always up for a race or two!

[Crease]

I'll kick the crap outta you Evil Ford Coupe.....but you can only use reverse.....and very, very bald street tires.....and you cant press the gas down all the way.....Yeah, with those stipulations I am confident that I can kick your ass! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Who all will be runnin inlines? Im thinkin that may be where the fun is!

[buzzard]

Did you put the 1x4 on your coupe, Crease? You should be a lot quicker this year, either way. Another grudge run against Sandman?

And where's AntiChrysler?

[Crease]

Buzzard,

Im gonna stick with the 3x2 set up this year. HRH offered me a set up, but Im afraid I may jack something up making changes this late. Did the camel humps, Roothawg helped me pick a cam, fresh short block, installed a shift kit, swapped out the rearend gears, that's enough for this year. Next year I'll probably find a 2x4 set up and get some sticky tires. I think the Sandman's man to beat will be Moe. His modified is gonna scoot.

Doesn't sound like AntiC is gonna make it. Sure would be cool to see what his RPU would do!

[buzzard]

What gears did you end up with?

That sucks that Anti won't make it. He was talkin' some serious smack a couple of months ago.

[grass hopper]

hotwheels
i bet you have one but if not you are welcome to use my shop to put the clutch in your car if you like. i have two 9000lbs rotary lifts and i bet i can make room for one bad ass car. let me know i am here every night and day working on my A along with other land cruisers. 512-917-6503 Edwin

[Crease]

Buzzard.

I went 3.25. Sort of a compromise I can still make the 2.5 hour drive to te track with this set up. Even with the 3.25s and almost open header the motor is screamin on the highway.

Yeah, I really wanted to see what Pat's truck would do.

[Kool Kat]

The kat with the vert poncho will prolly win again this year. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[buzzard]

I heard he put some gears in that car. You running your '60?

[krupanut]

If he does maybe he can use the winnings from the past three years to buy some wheels http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[3blapcam]

This is the first time I'll be there... How do they run it? Is it bracket or heads up racing?

[krupanut]

They run brackets during eliminations.

Lots of heads up grudge racing during time trials.

[Kool Kat]

Thinkin about it krup. 348/ironglide put it in drive and mash on it at the same time off the line everytime and I should win right?

[krupanut]

Your a sure thing. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[buzzard]

Went by Mercury Charlie's on the way into work this morning. He's got new gears and 5 gallons of race gas. And I'm sure some other stuff he wouldn't tell me about! He's shooting for 12's this year.

[Bass]

[ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, if I'd have gotten my axles from Moser by now and got my 9 inch installed (with steep gears and posi) I might have been shooting for (high) 12's too!

I know....excuses, excuses... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

As it is now...I think I'm going to ease it off the line and hope for at least high 13's. Hopefully the rearend and trans will hold together!

It'll be interesting to see what kind of times everyone is turning this year...It seems like the cars are getting more and more serious about going fast every year.

[buzzard]

Bass, what did you car run out there?

[Kool Kat]

A smokey burnout then broke the input shaft off in the tranny and broke some u-joints. He's my hero! With that new motor he'll prolly do it again, sure was a crowd pleaser last year.

[buzzard]

I meant the time before. What were he and Ric running? I know they were close.

[krupanut]

Ric was 13.90s / 13.80s ? maybe alittle faster?

Bass was low 15s if I remember right.
He should tare it up this year.

[Bass]

Yeah...15 flat at the first drags with a slipping TH350. Ric got his '40 all the way down into the mid 13's last year.

I figured I would be in the mid-high 14's last year if I would have been able to make a pass. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif I think I'm bringing a spare transmission and a spare pair or axles this year (just in case). http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hell it might run 16's...I guess I won't know til we get out there. I know it looks and sounds better now though! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Man, I know exactly how you feel. I'm gonna feel like a jackass if I go out and run the same times as before I did all this work. It sounds better, but it could just be all loud and no go.

damn bass, I could sidestep it at 6000 and you'd still beat me just "easin it off the line"

but I bet I will win the race to throw up first...last year was a personal best...8:30 a.m.

[Crease]

Anybody been down that track since last year? I hear it's stickier? Last year I wasn't hookin up at all. Had a hell of alot of fun, but wasn't hookin up.

[krupanut]

I've head the new ownership has done some improving to the track surface.
It sould be better with temps in the 70s instead of the 50 degree temps last year.
My tires were like rocks last year.

Jake, you actually gonna run this year,see how that new
transmission works.

Maybe we can do a Studebaker shootout stock Vs supercharged
and see how bad you beat me.

[hankcash]

What did Kevin Kirk (50 ford) run last year...?
I drove his shoebox at PnP and I swear I think he can run in the high 5's http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

HC

[Bass]

I think he was running in the very low 15s...maybe high 14s. He was having trouble getting hooked up....I know for a fact his car is faster than the times would suggest.

To tell the truth...just about everyone would probably run a better time on a better (stickier) track...but the cool atmosphere/environment surrounding the track is an acceptable tradeoff.

Jeff...I need to take you for a ride in my shoebox. After that you might be considering pulling the flathead out for a SBC. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

[buzzard]

Which was my solution for the problems he has been having. When I said I didn't know what the problem was, but I knew how to fix it....

SBC! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Kool Kat]

Jake you git extra points for puking in the gutter right in front of the Continental Club. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[buzzard]

Yeah, I think that gets you a .5 sec. head start at the track!

[67Imp.Wagon]

You guys are too worried about times.

We all know it's all about the burnout.

Bass did'nt even go down the track last year and the story is legendary.

We won't even talk about Outlaw. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Bass]

OK, but you have to spot me a car length because my car weighs about a TON more than yours (literally, as in 2000 lbs.). http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Of course I want to run a good time...but more importantly I want to have a good time! Looking forward to it...planning on leaving DFW tomorrow around lunch time if all goes well.

[wingnutz]

Could somebody video tape the Mini-bike race this time... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think that they should line up all the mini-bikes at one time and have a "Flag start" since e.t.'s are useless in this class... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

And if you find a leaky mini-bike ..., it must wear a diaper!!!! (the bike that is..., not the driver,,,!) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
