Event Coverage Welcome to the 2017 Meltdown Drags

How would you know 13's is fast Scott you would have to actually make a full pass lmao


Chrome don't get ya home

 

ha ha ha good luck... my car didn't leave its junk laying on the track...

 

A 13-second race was actually the sweetest race I ever won,Jackson.
It's near the end of the 2014 Meltdown dvd.Lakeshore Shaker vs that lougan Moonrocket...lol
After all his big talk about how his "12 second car" was gonna steamroll my poor little Ford.
Not only did he red light while trying to get out on me,but I had a fender on him before I pulled 2nd,and beat him by a couple bus lengths at the stripe,with a 13.36 to his 13.90....That was a good time.
I've got more awesome Meltdown stories than I can list here....

I guess it's working right again. This is about as quick as it will run in the thin Tucson air.

That was an AM call.

So drilled out the solenoid. And found this.... you can see on the I side the lug was turned so when power was applied it in a sense welded its self to the contact supplying power to the I side full time. Now we know why I wouldn't shut off with the key until I un hooked the brown wire off the I terminal.

Good job - bet you feel better knowing exactly what the cause was now, instead of throwing parts at it till it finally works right... plus now you know how to prevent it from happening again

 

Very Cool

 

Get back out there and find your oil cap before it gets run over

 

Weeds were to high....go figure

 

blew that sucker right offa there! that takes power

 

Job well done James

IT IS ALIVE!!! "We can rebuild it to make it fast and better." Is your tach working was on 1000 in every shot? How good does it charge with that large pulley?

 

James,
That thing sounds awesome!One of my favorite cars,and definitely one of my favorite people from the Meltdown.
You just made my night,Brother.

The tach is a little wonky but I don't pay much attention to it anyway.
I thought the large pulley on the generator would help keep the lead in it.

 

keep the battery charged up with a charger, so you don't have problems

 

Not sure I want to put the new intake on this engine or how much more I want to push this one.
I have a good idea that the stock rods have a life span and something tells me I am gettin close to it.
And as far as runnin you again.....well now that I got you on the right track I will just have to bow down to you as we all know this ol heavy chevy shouldn't outrun your digger. But it sure was fun when it would.
I had high hopes to have a little more for you guys this year but guess it just wasn't in the cards.

 

The battery is always charged up never a problem.
And I traded my Charger for a Harley.

 

Scott I'am glad I could make your night for you.
Can't wait to see you and your dad again this year.
And you better have that stallion raring to go this year.

 

James:
Last night was supposed to be the night we got it finished up so I could fire it this morning,but things didn't go quite as planned.
I got out there real late,we were totally occupied by wiring issues,and rebuilding my trailer,so the car never got fired this morning.
I did put a gopro camera mount on the roll bar though...So as soon as it's fired,I will get a little teaser video on here for you guys.
On a side note,a local guy decided to get a belly full of beers and try to be a hero in his 69 Camaro a few hundred yards down the road from my Dad's place the other day.
Guy is 37,has owned the car since he was 16,this is the second time he's wrecked it while drunk.
The first time he just bent a bunch of shit up when he hit a pole at low speed.
This time he was nearly killed when he skipped it through a ditch and into a farmer's field.
Car was a legit RS/SS 4-spd car too.What a jackass.

Go Pro mount?
Real men just hold them in there hand.

 

Scott I was going to start mine Saturday night after the long day.....but when I was checking for spark at the coil wire at the end of the coil wire from the dist cap to ground rather than from the coil to ground I thought maybe I had been at it to long.

 

Rectum!? Damn near killed him...!!
Sorry couldn't resist.
