I'm 61, retired, and have been enjoying Nostalgia Drag Racing in my 49 Thames that I learned to drive in when I was 14. It's on a tube chassis running a 383 strocker, 700R4, and a Halibrand Champ rear: a few changes since 1963. I also have a 49 Ford Panel with a 455 Olds and turbo 400 that I bought in original condition in 1972 for $25., and drove it home. My wife currently has a 350 powered 60 Corvette with an M21. We race around southern Ontario and the North Eastern States in the summer and spend our winters in Florida. I'm a happy guy!

Welcome from another Thames owner. Your description sounds familiar? Do you race with Rick Proctor and the ONDRA (sp) group? If yes, might you be SPANKY? If yes, how was Hot Rod drag Week?? more pics here.... http://www.bangshift.com/gallery/Hot-Rod-Magazine-Drag-Week-2010-Tuesday-gallery.html Cheers! James
I have been watching the Drag Week coverage pretty closely, and if that is the Thames in question, you have one very, very sexy ride! ! If not, I wanna see pics, as I have rarely seen a Thames that races that didn't excite me!
