Event Coverage LIVE COVERAGE- Texas State Championship Nostalgia Drags

Sunday Edit>> Fantastic day at San Antonio Raceway! Lot's of great cars turned out, several piloted by friends from the HAMB. I wasn't able to upload the videos as quickly as I had hoped, so watch this post for new additions this evening.

The Dirty's Speed Shop Anglia - Time Trials, Round 1


Saturday post>>I'll post more later, but I thought everyone should see Danny (Dirty2) trying to fly... Time Trials, Round 3



Skotz Flathead Fever Blown Methanol Flathead FED
He's struggling with a fuel problem throughout time trials and into 1st round eliminations.


and going down in round 1 eliminations...


Staging for Round 1 Elims...


The wheelie earlier in the day damaged the front suspension causing the erratic handling you see as Danny goes down the track. That was the end of the Dirtys' night.


Right behind Danny, One of the Thunderbolts, Bubby, took a late model to school running a 10.87 on a 10.80 in his Tudor Sedan. He went to the finals, but I missed that race to know who won. I think it was him.


A few more, fun stuff from the staging lanes and starting line...

 

Awesome! if u aint here your missing a great time!

 

That was sweet, Keep them coming.

 

Bitchin'!

 

Sweet !!!

 

I bet Danny was suprised.....Love it

 

Nice! Hope the Dirtys are having a good time down in SA.

 

I see a set wheelie bars in his future!

 

Didn't know anything about this race ?????

 

Too cool Danny and Rusty, that was great.

 

I saw that too and he just kept on going!! Now that's real racin'.

 

Thanks Scotty for the footage ! The wheels had been coming up for a while But I wasn't ready for that . Wheelies are cool but not when your on 1 wheel ! Had a blast there seeing a lot of my friends a meeting a bunch more .

 

I have a dozen more videos, but I underestimated the bandwidth needed to upload HD video. Look for me to insert them tonight.

This was agreat race! I'll. Be nursing a sunburn for a few says, but worth every bit.

Skotz had his flatty fed out, but chased fuel issues all the way into eliminations and ended his day after round 1.
Several others folks on the HAMB will recognize. More video on the way.

 

In Ryders words Grandpa did a wheelie Pop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good times but we got some fixing to do now. Big thanks Scotty for the support all day and the great video.

 

Damn, that was cool.

 

He came down hard from that wheelstand! No damage, I hope. Good video.

 

WoW!! as said above hope the car is okay after coming down.

looks like fun..

 

preliminary damage, bent axle and both upper shock mounts bent

 

Damn!

 

that was why it was not wanting to go straight

 

That's the last of the videos. I fixed a duplicate and added some VGA versions of some fast cars at the end.

Lot's to see, hear and smell. My wife was blown away that the nitro fumes made it all the way up the stands and left soot all over us!

 

Dam Danny now that is a wheelie car now. Looks like yall had a great time.

 

Scotty,
Cool coverage.....I'm glad that I got to see the races thru your video's, since I was thrashing on "teething problems" on the Flathead Dragster.....from valves closing the spark plugs to going way too rich on the mixture.....but I'm learning AND having fun......what a cool weekend it was.
Thanks for "your being around"
