Event Coverage Billetproof Forida Drags 2011 - pics and thanks

Thanks to all that came out for the 3rd Billetproof Florida Drags at Lakeland Motorsport Park this weekend. The weather was perfect and there were LOTS of fast cars on hand. Many showed up to watch the racing action. Everyone that raced got to do as many passes at they could. I'm worn out from sun, tire smoke, race gas and lots of friends. See ya'll next year !!

 

The day before at Don Garlits show I ran across the largest BBQ leg I've ever seen. it was literally as big as my head. This vendor will be at Billetproof Florida for SURE!!! It was REALLY good.

 

we had a great time, cant wait till next year!

 

Me and my son had a great time, it was a perfect day, even if we did break down on the way home with a clogged fuel filter.

 

all the photos I took can be seen here:

Mini Bike Madness race videos.... I have a few more of some hot rod drags, but they were taking FOREVER to load, so I'll have to get to those later on.....

 

Sorry for some of the pics being so HUGE.... I resized them all, not sure what happened there ???

 

thanks alan had a great time

 

That Studebaker pickup was a runner boy, it only had the little 259" motor, or some other small displacement.

 

We had a great time (even tho we had trouble w/ our car) Was great to see everybody again, can't wait for next year already !! Alan, the track staff, BilletProof members/officials, and the Southern Slingshots all did a great job, and we feel honored to be invited Seeya next year, BackMotor Mike

 

Many thanks for the great times!! See y'all in March.

 

Todd, your '57 looks like the build from "wrecks to riches"... Am I correct? Even so, she's a real gas!!!

 

No...They had it on a few episodes of "Hard Shine", but it was basically already finished by that time. He had some minor, engine trouble at the drags, but nothing that can't be easily fixed.

 

Great shots !! I added a couple to my cart, but I do not see a checkout option, how do I pay for them ?? Thanks, Mike

 

no, there is not need to "checkout"... just right click and save.

 

Cool pictures. I've seen that white and black Corvette at the HAMB Drags.

 

whats the orange car with the with the driver under the hood..? any other photos of that car ?

 

BackMotor funny car.

 

Thanks dude !! Didn't want to just pirate them without asking

www.BackMotor.com 1984 Vette body, soon to be replaced by a brand new Corvair body !! The Corvair's windshield covers the rollcage. We run a 496" BBC injected on alky / Nitro as a nostalgia funny car. From what I am told this was the last R/E funny car ever built, I had it custom made @ Innovative Chassis of Gainesville, FL in 1998. Should run in the 4's w/ this new engine combo (1/8th mile) although we had trouble with it at BilletProof Be sure to check the BLOG on the website, has our schedule, pics, and video. We run with the 'Open Outlaws' group also. Thanks BackMotor Mike
