Event Coverage Welcome to the 2018 Meltdown Drags

I'm happy with the DJ Safety diaper. I like the 2 pc straps you just un-clip the bag and it's off.

 

Was the thread for The "Uncle Sam's Pie Eating Contest" deleted? All I find is "The HAMB - Error"....."The requested thread could not be found".

 

I don’t see it either. I was subscribed and it’s not here any mo......

Hey guys-

Since things got a little weird on the thread (which happens too much in our internet world), we had asked for it to be deleted. So, sit tight and we will get a NEW AND IMPROVED thread started today!

Thanks for your patience.

Too many paint fumes?

 

Can you see much of the diaper when it's installed? I won't run fast enough to need one, but protection never hurt anyone...

Panels hide most of the bag the buckles/straps/mounting brackets are the most obtrusive. You lose some ground clearance too, I have to watch it in and out of the trailer. It makes for more work changing oil and such but still worth the extra safety, a blown engine is bad but a blown engine and a wrecked car is really bad.

 

...wouldn't it be a "gas" to try to get Dale Moody and Sam Jones to attend the Meltdown with both the 37 and the 55 Chevy gassers they used to run?...that would make my day.

 

It would be going on a straight axle Pontiac, so I'm not worried about ground clearance. Just didn't know how bulky it would look. I'd rather be safe and keep the track clean than it look ok.

Sad news!!! We all wiil be in diapers before we know it.

 

That would be really cool. Do they still have both cars?

 

bitchin threads man!

Good thing you now have a nice comfy seat to sit in while watching me drive away from you...

 

...go to the Moody/Jones thread for more info...

 

Ohhh - one more thing - maybe you better give those head bolts an extra turn or two so you don't herniate the head gaskets again on that little mouse tryin to keep up...

WHEW we got us some smack talk

 

In case anyone is needing a cheap period correct wheel...I stumbled on these and noticed not only was the Flying Dutchman using them, but the Sox And Martin Paper Tiger ran them briefly too...I’m guessing you can still get a chrome trailer wheel just like this...

Has anyone received their registration verification yet? Inquiring minds want to know

 

Cool Thanks

 

That's not a chrome trailer wheel. If I remember correctly that's a now pretty rare Howards wheel. Same Howards that made chain blower drives and of course cams. Out of town so I can't check my catalogs. Maybe someone else has a catalog with this wheel in it

 

looks like a broken axle ?? isnt there a company that makes axles named dutchman ??

 

I'm ready.

 

James you will have that back together in no time and all those folks in the super stock class better be worried about that new bullet

Silly question but does a tunnel ram meet the criteria? i have seen some discussion on other boards about when exactly they were introduced.

 

No threats from me in any lane.
Just want to be safe and have fun.

 

Tunnel rams are allowed

 

Got one of them fancy distributors y’all been telling us to get, goodbye HEI.
