Haven't posted on here lately. Not much HAMB friendly stuff going on. I hope to post a few pics of the new shop with the Bad Banana inside soon....
Finally settled enough to take the ol' BB out. First time since November I have driven this car. I have a small outlaw track about 5 miles from...
Yep
Been real busy moving again. I am officially out of Texas. Bad part is I have no shop now. I packed everything into the attached garage and my...
I raced Unlimited 2-cycle sprint karts on dirt. I'll have to try to find a pic. Won't be HAMB friendly though..
I've never seen that car before. Goes to show how much of the old racing history was never recorded very well. And every day we lose more and...
Here is a story they just posted about me. Pretty cool GM recognized me even after I left the company....
I found a place in Mississippi. Have a buyer for my Texas place. Need to close on both and move. Sold Homegrown today. Guy is keeping it DGas....
Well I realized today would have been my Dad's 82nd birthday. I think he would be glad to see the old BB back on once piece and all the same...
Should pick up the front tomorrow. Here are pics he sent me. He made it look like the lettering and stripes are old. Anxious to get it back on...
Here is another pic. The original color is on the aluminum plate. Looks like he got the match pretty good. [ATTACH] Sent from my SM-G960U using...

UPDATE: Car will be running at Little River Dragway in Temple, TX on Saturday night April 24, 2021 if you want to see it in action!! (weather...
Things are behind on that car. I have several things I am waiting on besides the front. This car will keep me busy until I get all the other...

I am finally going thru a box of my dads stuff that I never went thru piece by piece. I found this receipt dated 12-7-1967. I am pretty sure...
A bit of an update. I made arrangements to get the front painted back like it used to be. I originally thought I would be ok with it being...
I am committed to the DGas class. Right now DGas is only exhibition. Until I can get several cars running here in Texas I probably won't make...
Not trying to hijack Zak's thread but i made a deal and I now own the '57. I'll post some updates on my Bad Banana thread. Link in my signature...
We only got to make one run Friday night but we made the most of it. We had a lot of interest in the cars. Tons of people asking questions about...
Video from last week at Little River. The run where no one is in the other lane is actually the first run after the crash. Out of order a little...

Just got back from Oklahoma. Long day but we are loaded and headed out in the morning to see if it all works. [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] Sent...
You aren't the first to ask. I'll defer until I see if it goes down the track this weekend. Honestly it doesn't look good. I spent a lot of...
Looks like there's a very good chance the Bad Banana will be back at Little River this Saturday. I'm going to pick up the repaired fiberglass...
