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

Gammz you would probably fit in the HOT ROD class that is the street car class and most of the cars in that class are 13 seconds and slower, The fun part of this race is finding some one that is running the same times you are, or pairing your self with a friend and grudge racing.

 

The Meltdown is a drag meet, not a competition. We do have classes so that the right types of cars are racing each other. You will get classed following tech inspection. We ask everyone to find someone (or more) that runs a similar time and match race each other all weekend.

No bracket racing, no pro tree, no whining!

Most people who attend have the time of their life as it is a no pressure event and without having all of the competition everyone gets along and the egos stay at home.

600 registered cars can't be wrong!

Hope that helps

 

Scott I thought I would show you the front of my Willys cause this is the only way you will see it if you look closely this will be the sight everyone will see at the meltdown a mustang behind the Willys

 

Perfect!!!! That's what are all about around here!!! Can't wait to hang out with like minded folks and play cars!! Thanks for the information!

 

I had a blast with my inline 6 Chevy II a few years back and had some great side by side high 15 second races, it was a blast!!

Falcon Gasser. Do you have a build thread for your car? The falcon.

 

Looks like you could Tow him, faster than he has ever gone.

Like the tow Truck pulling the Dodge in gone in 60 seconds. L.O.L.

 

Unfortunately no, dad and I built the car starting back in 1988.

Oh don't worry i probly will be towing him after that ford pukes it's guts out trying to catch me im bringing a real good jerk strap to make sure he gets back to the pits ok lol cause that's what friends do lmao

 

See, that's the problem with you guys. If your not running your asses off putting on one of the greatest events in the Midwest, your in the pits tipping a cold one back and talking about how fast your car could go if it was all together. LOL If you were paying attention you would have seen at the Hunnert, that the GTO is now at 12.42. By the way, I wasn't talking about testing and tuning the GTO.

 

Uh oh......Its the wrath of the Zettle Falcon!

I think we might all be in trouble....

Scott

 

You and Norb are both gonna be eating your words.
I've got the lovely Miss Cassandra fabbing up another batch of tombstone decals for my trunk lid.
I'll have to buy a trailer to put them all on,cause it looks like I'm gonna run out of room in a hurry

Scott

 

Scott-

That was awesome last year when you were able to put all of those tombstone decals on your car...we all really enjoyed that...can't wait to see it again!

 

Zettle....I'll take your falcon challenge!

 

Ya know Jeff we might have broken our cars last year may even have deserved a tombstone once we broke them but at least our cars were there to be broken and deserve it lol

 

Your on lunger!

 

It has emphysema...

 

Well I'll just have to find you at meltdown and be that annoying kid that lives next door and ask all kinds of things about your falcon.

 

Since we are calling each other out - I'll take a spoonful of Yesterday's Chili

 

I think Ric is gonna have a full dance card...

 

I think I will just find me a good seat and just watch.

 

I could use some of your tuning magic if you're just going to setting and watching James...!

Scott

 

And for the record,I'd like to see the rest of you Jokers set your watch correctly,let alone assemble an engine and basically re-restore a car while you were working the hours I was working,on nights,for roughly 4 months.

I kinda like the way things worked out,actually,cause now I don't feel rushed at all,the motor will just drop right in after its tuned in the dyno..
All the hard work is done,I'm just waiting to enjoy the view of you knuckleheads in my rear view mirror.

Scott

 

Stage that smoke wagon and see what happens!

Not exactly sure who this is directed at, Zettle got me goin' with the line from Tombstone...

Maybe Tony since he called us out...who else wants some of Yesterday's Chili???

Gotta be careful callin' other cars smoke wagons, ours had the skeeters on the run 2 years ago and we still have the same pump gas 410 in it with the same light oil ring!

 

Please do, I guess I have only one grudge race with Scott a.k.a. Powershift aficionado on my schedule. Lol!! Sorry Scott.

I'll race ya if you unplug 3 plug wires!!!

 

Jon,
That's going to be one of the best races of the entire weekend.....If my driving skills can keep up with the hp production abilities of this new little motor of mine!lol!
I can't believe how fast you've got the car running with just a few changes and a heavy dose of your tuning skills!
Can't wait to hang out and run the Falcon and the Shaker!

Scott

 

Norb,you're going to be the other guy....Tickety Boo and the Shaker are gonna put on one hell of a show for the fans this year.

Scott

 

Yup

Can't wait to talk to you and your Dad again, also get a Pic of the Shaker lined up with Tickety Boo.

That will be one for the office wall. (A pic of the Shaker Shaking)

 

Just a few days away from taking this mess out of the back seat of my truck,and assembling them into a set of headers for the new motor.
