Event Coverage Official 2016 Meltdown Drags Thread - What are you doing to get ready?

If James is putting it together,it's a safe bet it's gonna get people's attention twice:
Once when it rolls into the pits and people are like: "What the f**k is that..?"

And twice,when it makes a pass,and people are like: "WHAT THE F**K was THAT!?!?!?"


I don't know how you do it Brother,but you've got that magic touch for turning the regular into the outstanding.

Scott

 

I'm just glad I've got you watching my back,Brother... lol

Scott

 

You know the old saying
A blind hog can find an acorn every now and then.

 

James, (Saltflats) Have a Happy Birthday! Knock a couple back for me...! Hum your b-days on good Friday!!!!

 

Nice catch Bigslim55

Happy Birthday James

Wish I could toast some of that rubbing alcohol with you today.

 

Same...happy birthday James!

 

Thanks guys

 

58 in body and 9 in mind and soul.

 

Okay, I thought I would get the thread started off right this afternoon. You know set the tone for the weekend...

I had a fellow HAMBer ask me this week if all the body work I had done on the Austin to make it a two door was worth it. This is what I told him. You see it is really not about aesthetics. I was worried the car was going to be so fast that I might actually blow the rear doors off of it and that could be a problem. I mean if I am racing Scott, I would probably have enough time to stop and pick them up, but some of the other cars on here are pretty fast so....

 

I remember last year, Scott was going to rent a Motor Home ( To haul all the loose pieces and parts home )


The Pepper Shaker was not there, didnt need the Motor Home.


.

 

Happy Birthday James!

 

It's obviously not about aesthetics....That thing looks like bastard son of a guppy that got gang raped by a school of carp.

Scott

 

And Norb,had the RV there,don't you remember the story about the A/C unit catching fire?lol!

Ps:You're still a Hore.

Scott

 

Thanks Scott.
Man you have got to be spending way to much time up there in the frozen tundra to come up with that shit.
You crack me up man.

 

We could call that car "The Spawn Sack"......Its more PC than the "Deuce Bag"...lol

Scott

 

Scott has my vote for the best shit talker of Meltdown history

 

Put a long tail on it, ( like a parachute ) you could call it ( Herman the sperm )

 

Salty

If you have been celebrating your birthday all day, ( Rubbing Alcohol ) Now might be a good time to
hide your Easter eggs.

By tomorrow morning you wont remember where you put em.

Just leave yourself a note to look for them Sunday.

 

Good call Norb but I have been able to do that for some time now.
But check this out
Born in 58 and 58 this parties going to rock it all night long.
Once in a life time

 

Great Lakes Dragaway added a second day to their Nostalgia G.L.D. the 1st 20 year Celebration.
( check the new schedule ) June 4th and 5th

Race at Byron on Saturday ( Hunnert Car Heads Up ) and Great Lakes on Sunday on the way home.

 

thats great. when i last talked to randy about doing that he said he would not do it. maybe they are finally seeing the light. happy b-day james

 

Thanks racer
You know this sounds like a super tune weekend before we Meltdown.
Sure hope I have something to tune. And if it can be two day race close makes a better tow for race ratio for me.

 

im not very far from the grove if you need a place to stay or if you need a shop for repairs.

 

I am hurt. I can not believe you guys haven't noticed the chopped top work. I mean it used to look like a guppy. But now it has obviously been streamlined into more of a super sleek dolphin-esk shape. LOL!

 

It will be able to swim faster than the others. LOL

 

I think Norb is onto something....

All who agree that Deuced Up's ride should henceforth be known as "The Sperminator" say "Aye!"



Scott

 

Well a day late,but happy birthday James.
Norb The visual is all wrong, I hope that Heavy Chevy is up to the task.

 

I would say no ( Drag Racing is Family Fun )

What will I be thinking when I see it. LOL

Bob I know Deuced Up is gonna clean my clock. ( if its not doing back flips )

Might pour Doe in Heat left over from Deer hunting in the burn out area.

It wont want to leave the Tree.

 

Thanks Bob
And your not to late the party is still on.

 

I've been building a 59 GMC to use as a tow vehicle, (and daily year around driver). Been working on it, off and on for the last few years, but got serious last summer.

Started it last Thanksgiving Day for the first time, (326 Pontiac, Muncie M-20, and 59 Pontiac posi rear axel. It went to the body shop last December to get some rust fixed. The really bad place was the inside of the roof, above the windshield. Mice had made some nests up there and rusted it out. Otherwise, it was a VERY solid Texas truck. Hope to have it done by June, for The Heads Up Drags.
