[fatluckys]

I'll be debuting my minibike if the fellas ta Flyrite quit working on real motorcycles long enough to paint it. I hope some other minis show up to race me, since I won't be doing any racing in my car.

Bob Wilson and a couple other guys are comming down also.

[buzzard]

Cool. I talked to Mr. Merc50 last night and he wasn't sure who was coming. Hope ya'll make it. Is Elrod gonna be working on his new project, or is he thinkin' on coming down as well?

[BoomBoom]

Looks like a several of the Chups will be there. Last time I talked to the Reirsons they were planning on bringing their Junior fuel front engine dragster. I know quit a few of the guys have been getting thier cars ready for this since last year! Cant wait!

[krupanut]

That's good news Boom Boom!
The more dragsters the better!
The more Chups the less beer for everyone else! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[buzzard]

Outstanding. I figured he was wrong, but I wanted to make sure. Glad ya'll Northies are coming down.

[voneyeball]

thanks outlaw. back seat's better than a escort or whatever the fuck a compact ford rental is... course, i could always race in the rental class........naw

by the way, i'll be in thurs a.m.

[Reggie]

If any of your hot rods get a little sick at the track and you need to leave it behind, I have enough room to securely store it. Hopefully no one will need it...but just in case you do, just look for me at the track.

[67Imp.Wagon]

Electrical problems are worked out and I should be rollin in on Friday night.Lefty should be riding shotgun.

I only got one race thats planned and thats against a Hudson that did'nt learn his lesson last year.

I did'nt book a room but figure I'll find a place when I get there. Bass found a cheap little place south of the club at last years Roundup. I think he said its called Executive suite.Super cheap.Austin guys, anyone ever been killed there.

[buzzard]

Not this week.

[Roothawg]

What's your local weather man saying?
The weather channel goes from one end of the spectrum to the other...daily.

[30roadster]

i'm an hour south of the track....local forecast said last night rain friday night.....partly cloudy and in the 60's Saturday with only a 20% chance of rain.....but ... we are in Texas...so the forecast means shit... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif a front is supposed to move through thursday afternoon - so thursday and friday rain chances high....Sat. looks good so far and cooler less humid weather for the drags! ( we are at about 85% humidity right now)
Damn i can't wait for Sat.!

I booked a room at the Best Western on South I35, not far from the club, $53 a night. Hotel phone # 512-447-5511

[Roothawg]

It's upposed to have an 80% chance of rain here in OKC, that's what was worrying me. We are about 5 hours North.

[hudson_hawk]

who is leaving on saturday morning? it would be nice to cruise together.

[krupanut]

They forcasted 50% chance today here in Austin and we have'nt had a drop.
It's at 20% Saturday. It's gonna be fine. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Roothawg]

I'm counting on it....... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I don't care if it rains cats and dogs on Sunday or Friday...it can be cloudy ALL day...just keep the track dry!!

How many 8x8 blue tarps would it take to go a 1/4 mile? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[30roadster]

20% chance...It'll be dry...if for some freak reason it does rain it will be the scattered variety and will pass quickly......should be a good fast track with the cool weather..... is anyone bringing a digital video recorder?
or are the Kontinentals planning to make one?

[TexasHardcore]

165 blue tarps to cover the 1320, and thats not counting the burnout box, staging lanes, ar shutdown. Plus it's only 8' wide... lol

I THINK IT'LL BE FINE SATURDAY...

[Roothawg]

How's the traffic coming into Ft. Worth? Are the roads still under eternal construction?
Unfortunately, I will hit FT worth at 5:30 p.m. Friday afternoon...... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

[BoomBoom]

Hey RootHawg!, You will be OK up until the Raceway. After that its gonna suck until you get through CowTown. I figure your comin down 35. 5:30 on Friday is not a good time anywhere trafficwise. Make sure you have a cold RC and a moonpie to pass the time and dream about burnin up that quarter mile!

[drgnwgn289]

Instead of racing for pink slips, Outlaw and Flatblack should race for birth certificates and the loser has to change his name...

[du$ty]

ive got 50 dollars on tyler!!!

[Evilfordcoupe™]

Hey Mr.Fatlucky, you'll have the sparkly bike for the weekend...I am spraying the silly art class flake on it tonight.

-Jason

[Elrod]

Well, looks like I'm moving all our stuff into the new house on Saturday afternoon. Gonna regret not being there!

[krupanut]

I want some of that action kartbraker, I don't think Tyler can take him so I'll go $50 on Tyler. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Jason I have some stailess spreader bar tubing for you.
I'll try to remember it on Saturday.

Elrod your gay.

[FLAT-TOP BOB]

i hope big ric is ready. you know those fat 40's
have a lot of wind resistance over those big fenders!!
i'm ready to see kartbreaker's t in action!

[drgnwgn289]

to see kartbreaker's T in action you'll have to video tape it and then replay it in slow-mo

S.R.T.!!!

[du$ty]

poor little death rod...she still aint running right.insted of running like a scaulded ass ape...shes running like a scaulded apes ass. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gifbut i still have a few tricks up my sleave. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[ABone312]

I'll be there. There is a group from Houston leaving from 290 and 2920 at the LUV's Truck Stop. We will be leaving from there at 7:00 Saturday morning driving to the track. Anyone leaving from the area is welcome to join the caravan. See yall at the track!

[El Jefe]

All looks pretty set for this weekend. Cool front just came thru, humidity and temp is dropping. The event shirts just arrived, got the stamping set for the timing plaques today and just got the 100 MPH Club patches in and they are pretty slick and gonna be a coveted item for those of you who can pass the century mark in the 1/4. Talked to Merc Charlie today and his little T may be the car to beat....new cam, new posi r/e, and few other hop ups to make that thing even faster than it was before. I better get busy in the back yard if Ol' Gold's gonna earn a patch.

[fatluckys]

I think I can qualify for a 10 mph club patch with my minibike. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[krupanut]

Geez, Charile just can't leave well anough alone. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I've got new sunglasses, a new pair of socks, and I'm parting my hair down the middle for better streamlining. Y'all better look out! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Roothawg]

What exit is it from I-35? I forget.......

[Roothawg]

Yahoo says 303....sound right?

[krupanut]

Sorry Root, don't know. We all ways come in the back way.
Never been there off the interstate.

[wingnutz]

Krupanut

Thought you were going to clean the "Gutters" on Saturday...? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Or was that clean the doors off the Buzzcoupe...? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

How fast was Charlie running before the new parts...? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[30roadster]

I come from south of there using back roads... but...i was looking at my handy dandy texas map and it's a little vague.... looks like a belton exit on 436 to 95 south is the way to go..... double check me as i would hate to mislead ya...

This will be Charlies T's first trip to the track. He's an old racer and there'll be no telling how fast he'll go.
I bet he's mighty quick! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[Roothawg]

I wonder how many cars have been built since the last drags?
I am hoping for a bunch of new cars to look at. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[Roothawg]

Wow, El Jefe...you went all out....hope I can earn a patch!!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

No telling, we keep hearing rumers of FED's and stuff. It sounds like it'a gonna be at least twice as many cars as
last year.

Most of the folks down here are just exited to see the Drag-n-Fly!

[Roothawg]

I wouldn't hold your breath on the Fly.......seeing my track record ( no pun intended) for the last 2 outings........It will be there...just clicking off some respectable times is my goal for the day.

[krupanut]

That's all we want!

[Roothawg]

Are kids free?

10/person entrance fee to get into the track on Sat
additional $10/car (paid at tech) to race (goes to the winning purse $$)
$10 buyback (optional after first round loss)

[Roothawg]

Man I am so stoked!!!!!!

I feel like the episode of Beavis and Butthead where he pulls his shirt up over his head!!!

I AM CORNHOLIO!!!!!

[BLAKE]

Why? You need t.p. for your bunghole?

[drgnwgn289]

anybody have a slow car that I can race against, preferable a geo or something....

[du$ty]

my car is slow...ill race you.

[30roadster]

huh..huh...Todd...he's cool...

i miss ol' beavis and butthead....

[krupanut]

Yea!!!! 5 oclock! I'm outta here and off work tomarrow to do some last minute tuning.
http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
See you fools at the track! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Roothawg]

I didn't know you had a job....... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[BELLM]

Engine out of my 32 is bare block on stand with boxes of parts on workbench. Only thing running around her that is traditional is an old 60s go cart. Can I run that down the track? MY POS rusty 30 roadster without engine I hauled home last week is still on the trailer but my wife wont let me sit in it while she pulls the trailer down the track. She has a minature donkey that pulls a cart but his ET in quarter is about 5 minutes plus he would take a crap on the track and Root has already said he is CORNHOLIO so the donkey would probably piss him off so guess I will just spectate.

40 hours from now and the gates open!!

[krupanut]

All real musicans have day jobs root. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Or rich girl freinds.

[J. Cougar]

I thought the track was 1/8 mile?

[Roothawg]

Nope..it's a 1/4 mile.

How's the weather fairing?I get 6 different forecasts from 6 different websites. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I have everything loaded and the Fly is under a tarp...we'll see if that keeps the rain away. Anytime I spend the time to tarp something, it's dry as a bone so.....I wrapped her up!!!

[BELLM]

alleycat they run 1/8 mile there their normal weekly drags but for "special people" it magically turns into a quarter again. Nostalgia drags back in spring they run 1/4. I think maybe with the speed/et continually moving faster they dont have enough track lenght for a modern dragster shutdown . Long ago this was an abandoned stretch of highway that used to cross the river. I used to run C modified production there in mid 60s, always heard stories that originally strip ran toward river. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[BELLM]

Root a front came thru got cool today 55 degrees but no rain. Should be cool &amp; clear Sat. Come on down!!

[TexasHardcore]

No rain today in Waco, pretty chilly, good drag racing weather though. They are claiming it's supposed to rain tomorrow &amp; saturday, but I think it's bullshit... we all know how inaccurate the weather forecasts are here in Texas. I think Texas has some sort of disturbing effect on the Doppler Radar...Maybe it's all the belt buckles &amp; spurs... or maybe just the ozone fog layer from all you assholes tuning your cars up before the drags...shame shame

See you all there...


BTW for those of you who don't know...

From Dallas:
I-35 Through Waco, Exit 303 in Temple @ Loop 290 around Temple til US190 then TX-95, Viola! you're there.

And when you pass through Waco near Baylor University, rev up your motors &amp; yell, maybe I'll hear ya.

or stop by the shop if you'll be passing through on Friday,

We are at 8th Street &amp; Jefferson, about 10 blocks from I-35, just past the river, on the other side of the big "ALICO" building downtown...

www.MAJESTICTURBO.COM (http://www.MAJESTICTURBO.COM)

[Reggie]

Coming from the north, you guys should take exit 303 which loops around Temple and turns into 95. If you are pulling a trailer, you don't mess with those backroads unless you are familiar with them.
Reggie

[Crease]

Thanks for posting the directions THC. Last year we wandered around for about an hour and a half.

[CURIOUS RASH]

<font color="green">

I'm alive!!!

Just been stuck in Atlanta for a month, got bumped out of my trip to San Antonio so I will not be making the drags. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

All you DFW boys take lotsa pics.

Barnett, catch you next time I'm in San Antonio.

OUTLAW, still need that t-shirt:)

ROOT, you are still gay.

Have fun all, Hope the Fly kicks butt.

If not, we may have to change the name to "Drag-N-Ass. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif </font>

You are bringing your deuce aren't ya?

BTW, Curious Rash......it was nice and quiet while you were gone. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[J. Cougar]

I'll be in Austin Friday night. What is going on Friday , and is there a wagon train leaving from the Continental Club Saturday?

[buzzard]

Tonight at the club there should be plenty of rides to check out. Krupa plays at 10:00, followed by Barfield and the Paladins. Should be a real good show with that lineup. And the LoneStars (and Shiner) will be flowin'.

[Bass]

Shit...I may wait and leave Saturday morning now if it's going to be raining tonight. It's not like I've never driven my shoebox in the rain and dark before, but I'd rather avoid it if possible.

I still have to adjust the clutch before I leave, too...

And oh yeah, coming from the north on I-35 it's the "H.K. Dodgkins Loop" exit that you take...there's a huge sign, it's hard to miss.

[J. Cougar]

Tanks Buzzard.I'll definently be in fo' some o' dat'.

[wingnutz]

Buzzard

Keep an eye out for Magnet..., rumor has it that he's painting WWW on his rental and is going to Drag it as a custom! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[Roothawg]

SOUTHWARD HO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We be rolling hard.......or sumpthin like that.. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[67Imp.Wagon]

It's pouring up here. Just saw the weather and its supposed to clear out some before this afternoon. It looks dry everywhere south of Hillsborro.

Bass, I'll PM you my cell. Gonna try and leave Lefty's by 6:30. Call if you wanna meet up on 35 somewhere.

We definately make a stop at the Czech stop.

[Bass]

If I leave tonight, I won't make 6:30...but I'll be close behind you.

Knowing Lefty, you won't make it out to the road 'til around 8 anyway. Tell that sumbitch I'm keeping his cooler, too. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[buzzard]

I love that stopping at the Czech Stop is so universal.

[Bass]

Mmmmm...."hot chubby."

Why does that sound so dirty?

[hankcash]

.

[buzzard]

Is that what you're wearing to the track?

[67Imp.Wagon]

Figured the cooler was sold at the last swap meet.

We may not even make the 6:30. It would be good if we got ahead start cause I know the speeds you drive. You'll catch us anyway.

Buzzard, if it rains all weekend is the party at your house. We can do a Newton Boys video watching party. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[buzzard]

Actually, no.

[hankcash]

Buzzard.... that's the Czech Stop guy.

But I can probably throw a similar outfit together for tomorrow if you would like.....

What is the plan if it rains Saturday?
Can we run on Sunday?
HC

[buzzard]

I should have known. That guy is really Czechy looking.

[hudson_hawk]

is it raining there? what is the forcast? my daily just died and i have to fix it so i am making a decison and weather is a factor

[Elrod]

Shit! This is going to be TOTALLY gay staying home. We got some movers now, but there's no way I can get out of moving. Gotta do it. I really hope I can make the next year run in the chopped A. I gotta get out my dental floss and bubble gum and go MacGyver on that thing!

http://www.uplinktech.net/macgyver/photo/images/mactitle.jpg

[67Imp.Wagon]

Hudson, what do you mean your daily died and weather is a factor.Fix it on Sunday.

You got a Hudson thats runs don't you?
Sound a little scared to me. I understand if your trying to back out seeing as I got new plugs.All that talk you been doing, were racing on some street somewhere, rain or shine.It could be a wet one,better get your tires siped at Discount tire.

[Lefty]

For what it worth I'll be ready at my usual 30 minutes early self.


Buzzard: I think the party is at your house for sure if it rains. We'll block sand that Angie-x-otica out for you with no guide coat.

HudsonHawk: No way you are backing out. I've heard enough about " The Rematch" for 14 months now. All these fancy carb setups,intakes,tranny beef ups and hidden nitrous bottles!

THE IMP VERSUS THE HAWK = TOMORROW

Maybe even mano to mano in the muddy pit area in Temple by the River.


Bass : I'm picturing my cooler with thousands,maybe millions of BB gun holes ( watch the ricochet) in it. Shot "Deliverance" style off of your back porch at Bass Performance Hall. Only Gatorade in it on return, since I quit drinking. Yep, on the wagon.

[hudson_hawk]

i am thinking my starter is out so i ahve to have my car towed to weatherford. i dont know how hard it is to change, if that is the problem and i dont know if 1 day is enough time to accomplish it. if its raining as bad there as it is here tommorow then i might work on the car instead. i am torn

i also put new plugs in as well

are you still leaving tonight?

[hankcash]

Hudson... starter in what?
You should be able to replace most starters in less than 30 minutes.....
HC

[Bass]

Hudson...I've changed a starter in an S-10 before. It's not hard. 3hr. job max...and that's with going to the parts store and stopping for beer breaks.

Steve...your cooler still has about 7 Keystone lights in it from Dennison. Where the hell did you disappear to anyway?..and why in the hell are you on the wagon? Is it bb gun and/or minibike related?

I'm pretty sure I'm not going to leave until Saturday now...I've got too much shit to do tonight, and it's going to be raining anyway it looks like.

[hudson_hawk]

s-10 starter, 3 hours is it? ok thats do-able on sunday. have you thought about where to meet yet?

[buzzard]

It won't rain out tomorrow.

Even if it did, which it won't, we could hang out at the club or the track and drink beer. We could call it a car show.

[67Imp.Wagon]

Hudson, Starter is 2 bolts and a couple of wires. Should'nt take an hour.

Still leaving tonight.

[J. Cougar]

No more talk about rain.

[hankcash]

Can we talk about precipitation?
cause it's gonna do that.

Hopefully I'll see you guys there. I ain't coming if it's raining.. um, I mean Precipitatin'!
HC

NO RAIN!

HUDSON: Be sure and lay right underneath while inserting that long starter bolt so it falls right in your eye. Then you get to wear a cool pirate patch on yer eye. Also it will block out distractions while concentrating on the tree lights.

Bass: On the wagon due to flashbacks such as these......

Well, I attempted to head to the track at around 12:30pm. It wasn't raining when I left the apartment in Waco, til about 10 miles outside of town it was steady drizzle. And since my little daily tends to play SLIPnSLIDE if it goes through spit on the road, I turned around at Exit 318, and took the access road back to Waco.

So, I hope it went well, if it went at all. And if my girlfriend and I weren't fighting right now I'd probably be heading down to Austin for tonights entertainment.

If it was rained out, is there a rain-out date set? If no, I missed it, fuck.

Ryan, Thank you for "pinning" this to the top for the last while. Our events wouldn't be remotely the same without the HAMB.
