Who has the fastest car on the HAMB?

[the duke]

Hello HAMBers! I was just wondering who had the fastest car and how fast it went, i don't want to rouse anybody but I just thought it would be kinda interesting. Thanks The duke http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I wish it was me.........

[DrJ]

The answer to that is always going to be "someone else by tomorrow"



Other than that, do you mean fastest, or quickest or both or either, or fastest in either category?
Street legal, or strictly race car?
Any size engine or type of car?

[Kilroy]

If Duke doesn't mind, and since we had an ET thread a while ago, let's say fastest in MPH/KmH period.

Not over a given distance, not from any special start, just top speed period.

Also not street vs race specific,

Just the car (preferably the "traditional" car that brought you to the hamb, but I think it might be interesting either way) with the fastest top speed...

[ripper]

deuce roadster - that might not be fast yet, but has all the makings of very cool already!

my old bomb is pretty quick, on the drag strip it can do a minute in 30 seconds plus on the open road it's real economical...gets a full tank between fill ups :-)

Ahh I'd probably have the 2nd slowest car in all catergories...going by the photo above ha!

[long island vic]

how much money do you have to find out i would never give it away for free

[Rocky]

My bona-fide race car '63 Rambler did the 1/4 at the MoKan dragway in the mid 20's...

[Fat Hack]

But wasn't Tuck's FASTER??? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Rocky]

Yeah, but he hasn't posted...I have.

[TINGLER]

Fat Hack's "Blue Bitch" gets the best gas mileage.

[Rocky]

In all fairness........

[rickyracer1962]

burndup has the fastest ups truck.

[Fat Hack]

Ha Ha...I was out sportin The Bitch this afternoon! Passed the same cop four or five times...fianlly ripped a wheelie and he pulled me over to check it out.

You'd think it was a Dodge pickup, cuz EVERYONE yells the same thing when they see it...kids, adults...and even that cop today...

"Does that thing got a HEMI???"


Naw, man...she's a FLATHEAD, you fools!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

As for fast??? Well, it's the fastet SCHWINN on the HAMB, I reckon!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[choprods]

do you meaN TO THE FINISH LINE OR BACK TO START LINE? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gifMY ET WAS 30.8 AT HAMB DRAGS..... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Boones]

I think Sam's may be the quickest race car (with the Racefab prepped sbc) and Ryan's 38 may have title for quickest street car..

If Rocky can have the faster car in the 20 sec range, I can have the fastest barge...

[fab32]

Not finished yet but I'm building a RAT ROD '32 PICKUP 2DR 4wheel DRAG BONNEVILLE COUPE OVAL TRACK ROADSTER to sell on e-bay. Its going to have a Saturn 2nd stage booster for a starter. The engine is a SUPERSECRET (tm) 17 cyl (3,587ci) triple underhead cam OHV FLATHEAD that Germ had laying around from one of his aborted projects.
We're expecting ET's in the mid 2's at around 900MPH.
Don't even ask what the RESERVE is.

Frank

[**DONOTDELETE**]

158.11 mph in 9.37 seconds (Minnesota Dragways A/D record)....but that was 38 1/2 years ago. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[RileyRacing]

I think my 49 Chevy is the fastest RUSTING AWAY back to nature ride on the hamb http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Jay

[Paul]

I have only seen a few cars actually move ON the HAMB.

two of the faster ones would be Sam doing his doughnut and

Ryan doing a short blast in a quiet nieghborhood..

'tween the two I'd hafta say Ryan.

but tell you whut, MINE feels like it's doin' about a hundred and fifty in the alley out back!

Paul

[Fat Hack]

Don't worry, Jay...I'll let ya drive it when it actually moves under it's own power again...rusty and all!!! (At your own RISK, of course!!!)

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

[Spike!]

Let me get "The Gay Car" out to Cecil County Drag-O-Way and see what she'll do in the quarter. I'm dying to know anyway and this is a damn good excuse! Hmmm... 402 Big Block in a light car with the aerodynamics of a brick wall...Should be interesting..

Spike

[RileyRacing]

Is that like sleeping with a chick after a friend has... I wouldn't know about that http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

somebody's gotta do it... fix the car that is!

Jay

[Fat Hack]

Well, I'll fix the car...but I ain't sleepin' with ya!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[RileyRacing]

consider this thread killed http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

If I could get him to sign up, my ex's dad has an Anglia with a 440... it's pretty quick!

Jay

[Sam F.]

[Deyomatic]

I think Sam's Ego Rama Roach Rod times beat Ryan's Mokan times.
But wasn't this big ass Mercury (Don't remember the owner) in the 12s.

[Ryan]

I'm pretty sure Sam has me beat now too...

That said, the '38 does have a few low 12 second passes on a similar motor with real slicks, open exhaust, and a pretty sticky track. Still - that was then, this is now.

[LUKESTER]

I think FEDERS merc is very imperssive, but I forgot the exact numbers.... twelve somethins...... Thats killer for a HAMB car............LUKESTER

[Deyomatic]

Yeah, Lukester, isn't that the one in my post above?

[LUKESTER]

yeah deyo.... I heard that thing runs HARD......... Who else can step up......I wish RYAN would give up the full story on his car....... I"d be interested to hear the whole story again and His best numbers..............with the REHER MORRISON setup............ LUKESTER

[Ryan]

It's no secret. RM bottom end is still in the car. I just changed cam, heads, intake, and carb in an effort to make it more streetable. It has worked to a degree and the car still runs good. My biggest problem is traction. At MOKAN I was lighting the tires till the 1/8 mile mark. Best time was a 13.26 at 114mph - that mph is pretty telling.

At the NHRA Nostalgia Drags at Thundervalley in 98, I ran a complete race setup with Barry Grant 1050 Dominator, Brodix X11 heads, my lumpy schneider cam, modern 8" goodyear slicks and ran something like a 12.10 or so. Traction was still a problem - we squirted nitrous a few times too just to make it worse...

[purple]

<font color="purple"> I have the fastest 50's Japanese iron of the HAMB. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Of course, I'm not very fast. Have only been to the track once, but my fastest was 19.009 at 70.09mph with a .679 r/t. </font>

[Deyomatic]

Purple, my Jap job'll beat that, mine is plastic though. I call it Hirohito's Revenge, because this thing is impossible to work on and the parts are $$$.

[purple]

<font color="purple"> My repair parts are, well, whatever I can make work. The cheaper I can go the better.

HumboltCat has named my car "The Kamikaze Kustom".

It's easy to work on, not like the new shit. </font>

[Hot Rod To Hell]

my 62 Chevy II ran a traction limited 11.15 @ 124.8.
Since then I've got a little more traction (quite a bit really), taken about 175 lbs out of the car, and done some serious porting work on the intake.I haven't been back to the track since, but on the street I beat my friend's camaro that runs 10.85! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hey, I'll take some of that with my 51 Chevy Sport Coupe! It should be back up and running again in a few months.

C`mon up here and we can see how they run at 5000 feet! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[Cword]

weird thread,

Here's the closest answer that I can provide.

I haven't driven, but am in line to do so.
Ted has driven and posted on the HAMB as N49
Our best speed so far is 196.200 MPH with the old fart (my dad)driving. Incedently he had the left turn signal flashing for the entire five miles.
http://www.fsra.org/n49/1149-2003s.jpg
And an AVI of it leaving the start line (http://www.fsra.org/n49/2003/118-1865_mvi.avi)

[WZ JUNK]

Well, I was going to say something about the fastest truck but the Canadians put me to shame. My best in the quarter so far is a 13.10 but I think I should make it to the high 12's next summer. I do not think that is to shabby for a truck that can be driven to the strip and home.

[cheap-n-dirty]

here's mine. a old belly tank, known as "the scotty's muffler special".
i went 200.07 mph in 1979 at bonniville.

[Bruce Lancaster]

My flathead '48 sedan has gone 160. These export models with the hot metric speedometer setup are MUCH faster than the domestic ones...

[SamIyam]

I think the big-ass-merc is the quickest in the quarter mile... and Ryan's car and mine...as they sit today... would be a damn good race, too close to tell. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Sam.

[Dirty Dug]

Mine was, now it's not$$$$$$$$$$now it is,,,now it's not$$$$$$$$$$$$$$now it is

[frontmotorflyr]

7.34 @ 186 at a mile high!

[krupanut]

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif7.34!!!!! That new motor must be doing the trick Woody!
Sure love to see what you'd run at sea level.

I think we have a winner for the 1/4 fellas

[TexasHardcore]

OK, the Drag Bike isn't really a car, but I think I can top everyone. This is the Dempsey-Vesco "Turbinator" Streamliner. Team Majestic Racing (my crew) and Team Vesco buddied up to build this monster. The owner, Don Vesco, has since passed away, but the car is still around. Our Team is building a tribute-to-Don Vesco, 4-wheel streamliner powered by a turbocharged Hayabusa motor looking to go 315mph+.

The Turbinator has set the world record at 458.443mph.

Yeah- and I think it has much more character, too! Can't wait to hop around in that thing again. That really is a cool shot in the 'paper.

[frontmotorflyr]

Hey Krupanut. Just think thats out of a 355 inch small block (with a stock 4 bolt block cause we dont have the $$$ for an aftermarket bullet yet). I also went to a fuel mask this year rather than a full face helmet.

Woody

[Nads]

I have the fastest Packard engined car on the HAMB. I'm fairly sure of that.

[Paul]

well hell Nads, That's a given http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

uh, and have you seen how fast that really is?

Paul

[Tman]

Mine aint even on the road yet but I challenge anyone to build a faster 348 Tripower powered 27 Touring with Swiss Cheezed rails and 3 dueces running cheater slicks painted blue with white flaked wheels! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[41sled]

11 sec street rod.... also weights 3400 lbs...... My fathers..... Any takers????

[41sled]

low 9s drag car... 87 caviler... All work done by Tom Pugner.. Front wheel conversion by the way.. 8 years in her...

[Tony]

Couldn't ya ask this question next year or so??
At least by then my 5 window will hopefully be a car and not a pile of parts!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Rat..

[Dat Dirty Rat]

Its going to take you a year just to find the space to 'finally' bring it home!!!

[FEDER]

FEDSLEDS Big Ass Merc ran 12.34 @ 112 mph.And just cause it has 2 extra doors and tips the scales at 4020 lbs doesnt mean its a fat ass. OK I guess it does.Youre right Sam it would be fun but you gotta count to two the leave-----FEDER
