Event Coverage What are YOU doing to get ready for the 2015 Meltdown Drags?

Jim,you must be watching a different thread than I have been watching,cause Jeff coming at me has been like the Salvation Army declaring war on the U.S.M.C. Lol!

Wait Til you see the race...it's gonna be even MORE painful for ol Jeff!

Scott

 

I thought you were going to say "In the Battle of Wits he was like a Third World Country and you were a Super Power"

 

Tomato/ Toe Mah Toe....lol

Scott

 

Scott, I thought I'd get a response from you! LOL...!
How's things progressing with the Mustang?!? Any new pics to show? Anything new with 289?!?
Jim...

 

I don't know, Jeff's barbs have been more pointed here lately than in the past...! Unless he has someone feeding him lines?!? LOL!
Jim...

 

Glad you are staying warm up there...

 

How bout a Maroon Snuggie with Okiedoker pic??? LOL...
Jim...

 

That was amazing!

Although your crayon skills are still a bit shaky Jeff....lol!

Scott

 

Hey Scott, ordered a Crites TBolt scoop for 55'... Also got another hood to use, met a guy at Swap meet last Sunday, had 3 hoods to choose from... Picked it up Tuesday. Think I might want to get it media blasted, has couple coats of paint on it?!?
Scott don't forget Columbus Spring Swap is coming up in a month too!
Jim...

 

Right now the rear is 4.86 and the front is 2.9. When I ordered the drive shaft last week the guy said something about critical speed or some such at 8500. What the hell is that? At 8600 the shaft leaves the building ? He said with my tire its safe to 150MPH. Ha! Well within margin. Build it!

 

Maybe you should mount one of those old school round red police roof lights on the Shocker that comes on around 8000-8200, you know like a Devcon 7 light. That way everyone knows your about to throw the drive shaft outta bed, and run for cover! It always cracks me up when the old timers call it "the jackshaft" .., hey maybe you should call your car "Jack Shafted", or "The U Joint" "Jump'n Jack Shaft" "Jackshaft Jitterbug", "Jack the Stripper" (that last one could be taken wrong possibly?) We have a 4.88 rear, 2.93 low also. Got another Jerico recently that's 3.06 low/2.04 second. Think that'll be our 1/8 mile box

 

With a 3.06 low gear you have to thinking about shifting to second as soon as you launch.

 

Tell me about it. Our ole Nash 5 speed has a 3.27 low! Hey, maybe the Nash for 1/8 mile battle.., hmmm.

 

Hairy Hauler is ready to go.

 

I wish there was a "HELL YEAH" button in addition to the "like" button

 

Looks awesome Paul, wish I could be there again to see it in action.

Ray

 

There is something very wrong when someone calls out "Ready" 5 months before the event... Something has obviously been overlooked.

Looks great Paul

 

Maybe he just means ready for display.

 

Its some kind of evil mind game! Don't look at it man! You know we're supposed to wait till the 11th hour to claim being ready. Foul play Paul, very devious.., The Hauler is looking good though.

 

Sorry it's not ready, technically I need to wash and wax it yet

 

See...see...I told you he overlooked something !!!
Says he's ready when it hasn't been washed and waxed ... bad form...very bad form !!

I need a drink... and a gun... not necessarily in that order

 

Just don't crank up the George Jones.

 

Hey guys, Scott sent me an updated picture of his Mustang last night...looks like he has been hard at work on it.

 

One front wheel in the air.

 

Looks like a tail dragger.

 

Sorry it doesn't look like it has that much git-up and go.
