You are early Jim, it is still only Jan 31 HERE and we Kiwis are the first to see the light....every day ... 19 hours ahead of West Coast USA.

 

Checking in for the month. Miller OHV parts almost here

 

Anyone got a new FAST magazine yet?

 

yep like last week

 

Received mine last week also

 

Yeah I know but I have been tired and forgetful and worried I would forget this morning. I have been trying to make sure you see the link on the 1st of each month.

 

It's all good, I was just a bit worried I was "seeing the future" . Next thing you will be telling me cars have more than four cylinders and are run by computers and all sorts of other electronic devices. Thanks for keeping this going every month.

 

I'm in

 

I'm in,
17 is flying by..............

 

here again also

 

Hello all.

 

About the truck open nose....... Hey I didn't say go to pick-a-part and get one! If this was anyway easy it wouldn't be fun!!!

Sorry for the late reply I don't get the updates from here I signed up for very often. Mr Notifcations must be asleep.........
Too much ice under the snow here to go outside last few days here.

John ... Not only that but this is a SHORT month

Don't forget Valentine's Day !!!!!!!!!!

 

Anyone have a single carb downdraft they wouldn't mind letting go of? I'm looking for one for my Dad's Coupe. Something like this Burns would do just fine:

 

so putting that one on is not a happening

 

I kinda figured that

 

eBay item 222395940772


Hey mutley, this one (not mine) is on eBay right now!

R/ Roger.

 

Muttley I have Strom 97 that came on my flatty...would need to be rebuilt but looks to be in good shape....sorry i mistook your request, you are looking for a manifold. Ron

 

Do you have a link to the listing, it's not coming up in the search.

 

I'm in!

 

Got my seat belts at Deist being re-webbed...Our season doesn't start 'til first of May at Buttonwillow Raceway..Rebuilt engine is REALLY strong!

 

awesome car ! button willow ca. ? where at in button willow ?

 

I still use my OD ones with the leather loops on the shoulder harness'...... but Also still use my string back fingerless
racing gloves and my blue Dunlop racing suit!!

 

now that's a great car

 

checking in , got my FAST #4-2016 Friday

Question for all with Flat head on your Banger ,what RPM do you turn mineis maxing at 24oo to 2500 would this be right

 

West of I5, south of Lerdo Hwy, you cannot miss it.
Spent too darn many weekends up there.
There is a pretty good, or used to be BBQ joint at 58/McKittrick hwy called Willow Ranch.
ButtonWillow track has many configurations and many great places to watch, only problem is size.
The tower building is nice, elevated and shaded.

John

 

I'm back...I need some motivation on the next project.

 

Too late. It's in the completed listings now. Sorry.
