That's right, boys and girls, we have a big plan to kick off the '14 Vintage Drag Racing season off, in grand style. Friday night, Feb. 28, Saturday, March 1, 2014, NorthStar Dragway in Denton, Texas. You can come drag race whatever the hell ya wanna come down with. Considering it is a 'Pre-'73'. Won't matter the engine/tires/stock/blown/injected/4-banger, we WILL have a class for you. Don't want to get all the water and tire rubber on your fenders, fine, we have a car show for you to enter. But you will regret not making a pass, trust me. Friday night, will be fun and grudge night. Drag you buds tail out to the 'tree', and show him who the 'winner', really is. We will also have our traditional pit party going on, too. Saturday, plan on racing all day long, and bustin' your tail for a SUPER-COOL/HAND-PINSTRIPED/PISTON CLASS TROPHY. I know you can't wait.

What do they check for tech wise on street rod or b/sr (dead stock 302 in econoline pickup)? Id kinda like to take it down the track just to see how fast-slow it goes. I think the only thing Im missing to pass inspection is a parking brake.
For a stock/street car, you must have seatbelt, radiator 'puke-tank', no fluid leaks (can't get crap on the track).....might recommend a helmet, but if it's slow, probably won't be an issue. If I think of anything else, I'll update this.....
Ken, I'm thrashing on the little Flathead dragster.....shooting for the Thaw to be the first shakedown run with some new parts built for it
Everybody in N. Texas and the surrounding area needs to come on out. This is really an awesome event put on by the Torques to benefit those who put on the uniform and defend this country. The Gas House Gang will be out in force!!
We will be bringing our usual crowd and a few are coming up from Houston with 2 or 3 more Nostalgia Super Stockers...maybe a couple getting out of the snow from Wisconson with some 409 powered 59 Chevys...could have 6 or 8 NSS cars to run a little demo race between ourselves..........the Ford is back together and ready to rock.

Well, it's the morning after I saw the dates for this years Thaw, and reality has set in. Pre-planned family events will not allow me to make the Thaw this year...............damn, just DAMN........................... Hope all of you have one of the best years ever! jb
