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

Yeah well it could have been worse I feel fortunate that a set of pistons rings and gaskets will get it back in shape everything else is in good shape

 

Got some new shoes for the Bel Air
Jegs had these on sale 273.97 to the door for the pair.

 

Nice and light

But its time to get out the carb. cleaner. Removed the letters on my Phoenix
slicks in no time.

 

anybody hear anything from the south east guys? they coming again? thanks

 

Check out DragRacingOnline....I dropped Agent 1320 a note about the Meltdowns. I think you'll recognize the cars he chose for the article. That mention exposed thousands to the MD. Just spreading the gospel of the MDA. Look under Agent 1320 Notes for June 18, 2015.

 

R D Martin. Yes the Southeast Gassers are coming.

 

Nicely done Brad! 28 days gentlemen and Scott... Are you ready?

 

It looks like about 10 of the Southeast Gassers are coming! Can't wait to watch them again.

 

I am the farthest thing I have ever been from ready.lol

Scott

Got that 409 ready to ROAR?

 

Not yet Norb I need to order some jets and rods for my carbs and mount seat and shifter.
Should be able to do that in my sleep Ha Ha
I work much better under pressure How about you Scott

 

As long as all my parts show up I am golden.....Im just racing the clock to get a few items here and assembled/installed on time.
I'm really panicking at this point,cause I still need to have my bottom end stuff balanced.

I feel like I'm gonna throw up as I Type this.

Scott

Since you drive a ford.... Maybe you are pregnant!

 

ouch...

 

Somebody's gonna regret that one...

 

Well Jeff, is it time to get the my little pony ready for the match race?!?
Sorry Scott couldn't help myself!
Jimbo...

 

EEEE GAAADS !!!! As long as ya get all the STUFF you will make it! Just remember what Chief Dan George said in "Outlaw Josey Wales"..."Endeavor to persevere...." The Chief would NOT speak with fork-ed tounge!!!

 

Baaahahaaaa!!!

I know I can get it together if I have all the parts,there are just a few parts that are gonna be cutting it pretty close ie: getting the pushrods measured and built,and getting the balancing done.

Scott

 

Sounds like with family,work and rust(less)stang you are already doing the balancing act.

 

It's been a long haul,to say the least....lol

 

...talked with this guy today,...Renault gasser, 292 Chevy inline six,...bringin it to the Meltdown but not ready to race this year, maybe next...

 

Scott

Have you been craving pickles, ice cream or eer ummmm.. Chevys l.o.l.

 

Had a great Fathers Day, Anthony and I made it to the track for a few hours today and shook the Falcon down before the Meltdowns and it went good. Some small details to take care of and we are set.

Jon

 

Speedwise, are you still working on getting together an altered wheelbase group? Either way, we'll be at the Meltdown again.

 

Thought I was going to have to pull the plug on taking the Charger but my buddies bucked up and ordered new tires for it. Now I guess they get to play rock paper scissors to see who is going to drive it.

 

So we thrashed on the car for 5 or 6 hrs last night,got the mockup block and Nash Trans in it,got a transmission mount and crossmember fabbed up (Note:A Doug Nash is about 99% bigger than a stock Toploader,and longer as well,so if you're dumping one in,and counting on it being a bolt-in deal,you're umm....wrong.)
Also got the 5-point harness mounting points welded in,and we're ready to start ripping into the wiring.
I'm really starting to sweat here.
Probably going with a Plan B for my valve train stuff.

 

I'm curious how this is going, too. I'm planning to be there

 

Nice cross member
So what kind of H/P do you have to make to turn that tranny.
