I'm not talking about nostalgic "looking" drag cars, that never have had rubber pealed on the rear quarters. I want to see those pre 60's race cars (hopefully pre - 40s), the ones you built and take down the track! Run Sub 10s, have chutes on the back! Well not literally..but you catch my drift. Show me your purpose built for racing HAMB cars! As the winter sets in, I haven't had much time to make progress on the '29 and way to much time to think, apart of me is still pretty set on going the cruiser/driver route..and another part of me is screaming you don't need to drivers..Make this one a square tube chassis '29 Sedan Drag Car! I'm looking for some inspiration. -Brahm

Wally good to see you made your way over here. There are several good drag racing threads in progress here with a bunch of guys from the old days. Some great pics and I am sure you could tell us some good stories. Even old black Vettes are welcome on this site too.-Jim

my drag car the past 2 years. nothing hot in the motor except for the 600 holley and a aluminum intake. has been 12.80's on real slicks. and my other more real race car. it was on a drive in the pic......as there was still media coming out of the rockers....has been 7.02 on a 383 street motor.
Here are mine, although the '33 WAS a drag car...it's a street car now. Thanks to Chuck Corder for the shot of my '40. -Scott
mine motor is going in this weekend. its my old dirt track motor from the 80's 355cu, reed cam iron heads.....
Welcome, Walt! More Royalty in the house! Hope you have fun here. We want to hear your stories - why don't you start a thread and tell us how you got the roadster straightened out on that pass in the photo? Scotty
