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

Unless someone needs some help

 

Scott the ol beater sounded pretty good and I'm not sure which pull that video was from but numbers don't lie on the dyno and by the way congrats on your success oh and that damn hitler video is still the best

 

He's gonna push you with Shagged Nasty, so you can both run your first 11.99

 

I could use all the help I can get....Hell,I'm barely coherent most days.lol!

Scott

 

Straight off the farmer's almanac website for Byron...

JULY 2016: temperature 69° (2° below avg.); precipitation 4" (0.5" above avg.); Jul 1-5: Sunny east, t-storms west; turning cool; Jul 6-14: Scattered t-storms, cool; Jul 15-23: Isolated t-storms, cool; Jul 24-27: Sunny, nice; Jul 28-31: T-storms, then sunny, cool.

I know that's a looooong range forecast, but aside from a few scattered or isolated thunderstorms which as I understand it, is pretty normal for the area that time of year, it looks pretty good to me! Hopin' for a repeat of the weather from 2014! ...or better! Don't leave all your big jets at home this year boys!

 

If the weather is like 2014 this year and you and your brother show up it will be mandatory that you guys be here every year.

I had to drive out to Fred's this morning to get them.Driving right now.I'll post them as soon as I get back to the hotel.
You are going to love this.

 

Here we go Norb.....Sorry about that.It was 413.9hp,not 412.....Told you guys I was getting forgetful in my old age!


Scott

 

It makes more steam on cruise control than Jeffs "327" at full song! I will be avoiding Scott all weekend, I want to watch him smack all ya'll.., NOT ME! Scott, can I borrow your Barbie car against Dog Patch, I'll be Dodging mister 5.93 in the 1/8th all weekend too. Gonna have to get back on our race only engine, or change the name to Yesterdays Missing Child!

 

The current view from Scotts Dance Card attendees..,

 

Lmao!!!!!

 

You can borrow the car all you want,Brother,but my little Horse ain't got nothin for Tony's rampaging pachyderm...lol!
You know that 5.93 in the 1/8th is about 9.40 in the 1/4,right...?Tony's got me covered by a couple of "Mississippis"...lol!

Scott

 

Fred did comment on what a torquey little bugger this motor was.I'm gonna have to borrow his carbs for the Meltdowns,until I can get mine sorted out....We have some issues with the high speed air bleeds,and a couple other things.Theyre good carbs,and they will work great once we dial them in,but coming straight off the bench they didn't have a chance against Fred's carbs that had a few years worth of trial and error in them.

Scott

 

Im waking up (Held my breath to long)

Put another shot of that good stuff in my iv Reality is setting in

Happy for you buddy

Missed it by 600 rpm?

 

So peak hp is at 4600 huh? or is that all your sharing lol, whats the rest of the story

 

Oh wait....You mean all this other stuff is important too?I thought you just read the top part,and all the rest is fluff.

Silly me....

Here's the rest:


Scott

 

Apparently Bryce's heads and cam work well with an old Weiand tunnel ram.

 

I think it's pretty good for an old 289....

 

Cricket....Cricket.....

 

Where'd everybody go...?

 

CP Carrillo needs to get inked on the side of the Dirty Dodge now - its about time Yeah the old Hemi did good this past weekend. Funny how hitting all 4 gears can make a car fast Hightower for sale .... oops did I say that out loud

Damn Scott! Teasing with the top of the paper like that

 

You better buy or clone Freds Carbs man, getting all that power to the ground is going to keep you busy.

 

Between Scott, and Tony picking up their game, I'm not sure if I'm gonna make it. I think I might have a stomach ache or something..,

 

I've already burned my calculator Scott. Tony's 5.93 is 9.31 in the 1/4 on a perfect run. The damn thing will run 9.70's or better with Stevie Wonder driving!.., see ya in the show car coral.

 

I hope the Bailey's come, and bring some "southern comfort", I'll need something to drown my sorrows with, and to
apply to my chapped ass.

 

That must be one of those "big" 289's.

 

It might be a 289+79...

 

And I weigh 180 pounds....
