Hi There....I'm brand new to HAMB message board, but an old ,(but pretty current) drag racer. Wife and I have run the Perry & Lloyd Flathead Fuel Dragster since 1985. This is a 8.90 car, on a VERY good day, and Ran 158.337 MPH on a VERY-VERY good day at Sacramento. Would such a car fit in at the HAMB events?

Hi, Tony. You bet it would.

At this point, the only official H.A.M.B. drag race is the H.A.M.B. Drags Nationals held at MoKan Dragway in Asbury, MO. in August. Be forewarned that the H.A.M.B. Drags Nationals is not your normal drag race. More like a day of exhibition runs and grudge races by class. The only thing that has ever been round robin eliminations is H.A.M.B. Gas Rail, and they aren't always done that way. Typically, winners of classes are determined by a final round of timed runs and the lowest ETs in class get trophies. Like I say, not your typical drag race, but a lot of fun.

[RatRoy]

I assume the host hotel is the Holiday Inn again and the race date is August 20, 2011. Anybody know anything different, please post......:)

[Tony Lloyd]

Hi Jim....Did I meet you some years ago, at the FH/I Nats at Denver CO., Bandimere Speedway? WOW.. MO. is quite a trip, about a Denver and a half ! In 2005 Kathy and I did a lap around America, with the dragster. Went to Denver, (got beat in the first round by Bob Corbett) then we headed for the Good-Guys Indy drags, (That got rained out) diverted south to MO to visit Kathy's old TWA buddies, and visit the TWA museum in Kansas City MO, We slowly headed for the National Hot-Rod Reunion, in Bowling Green KY. Where we twisted off the Pinion shaft of our Winters live axle. Then We headed north to York PA, home of Winters, for repairs. Those nice folks took real good care of us. From PA we went to Kathy's girlhood home, New Jersey, where we participated in The "Nostalgia Nationals" at the Island Dragway in Great Meadows NJ. We got a runner up against a Ford (Looked Like a) Thunderbolt. We had him covered by about 1/4 second, and were leading at half track, when Kathy went into a big wheelie, (almost a blowover) She pulled the brake....the big Ford went ZIP. Good for him. If you are gonna get beat, get beat by someone GOOD! Our Next event was at Englishtown, a week later, it was supposed to be a two out of three match race with another Fuel Flathead Dragster, out of Long Island NY. He never got it to fire, We made three play passes and showed off to Kathy's sisters and cousins, who took her to the drags at Englishtown, when Kathy was a little girl. That was the last big trip we took, with the dragster. I heartily recommend that "If you have a suitible hot-rod, do a Lap Around America, run at a lot of dragstrips." It probably shouldn't be something as delicate as a Fuel Dragster on 85%. But a gas dragster would be a lot of fun. Put it on YOUR bucket list!
I would like to run the Dragfest, at Bakersfield this spring, my health is a little iffy. I think the HAMB guys out here go to that event also. See Ya!

[jason65]

Is it all weekend or Saturday only?

[Jim Marlett]

Hi Jim....Did I meet you some years ago, at the FH/I Nats at Denver CO., Bandimere Speedway? WOW.. MO. is quite a trip, about a Denver and a half !
Yes, Tony. That was me.

I'd say the Eagle Field event would be the closest thing to a H.A.M.B. Drags-like event in your neck of the woods. Not too tightly organized and just out for fun.

[Jim Marlett]

Is it all weekend or Saturday only?

It depends on how you look at it. The actual race is just on Saturday, but the event is more than the race.

[rchotrod46]

I need to get my vacation submitted… has an official date been set for the 2011 H.A.M.B Drags?

[Barn Find T]

Dates? need to schedule vacation!!

[RatRoy]

Don't miss Friday at the Holiday Inn parking lot and Saturday night after the races. Those are as much of the event as the racing....:):):)

[ORGANGRINDER]

[snakes1949]

[tlundberg]

nothing yet?

[tlundberg]

If it happens ths year at MO-KAN the open date that they have on their website is August 20th where it reads "TBA". Many in this area feel like there is a sense that the HAMB Drags are getting too big for MO-KAN.

Say it ain't so Ryan !!!!

NEED DATE TO NOT BE SCREWED FOR VACATION TIME. Sorry for caps, but that's my end of the deal. My experience 2010 was good enough to MAKE IT AN ANNUAL VACATION AND/OR BREAK MY CAR ON IT'S FIRST TRIP DOWN THE STRIP ON MY FIRST EXPERIENCE TO TRY TO READ THE LIGHTS.
Hope we can afford to do it.

It's actually not a tough decision if you've ever attended the HAMB Drags.;)

Seriously dude, you would use your vacation time to get married before using it to come to the HAMB drags? WTf? :eek:

Just kidding -- my wife tells me what to do too!!!

:D

[Cowtown Speed Shop]

lMFAO!!

uh.... someone doesn't realize that I am the wife in this equation :rolleyes: And I don't tell my husband what to do, I've been going to the Drags far longer than he has.

We also planned the wedding when I had a job that allowed 7 weeks vacation a year so it wasn't an issue. New job doesn't have those perks.

i kind of figured!! :o just wanted to see how long one of you took to let me know.

Yeah, I have a new job that is great and all but it sucks when you have to start near the bottom of the totem pole again on vacation and benefits.

Hope you make it to the drags. Stop by the big tent with our club sign out front "Rollin Nostalgia Car Club" and the big BBQ grill in back.
