Hunnert Car Heads Up vintage DRAGS - 2012

Less than 5 months away!

http://hunnertcarheadsup.com/



The Hunnert Car Heads-Up IV will be June 16, 2012 at the historic Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, WI!!! We’re planning on another full day of traditional hot rod drag racing.

We have also again partnered with the Meltdown Drags (July 21, 2012) at the historic Byron Dragway (Byron, IL) for a special nostalgia drag series – The Heads Up * Meltdown Vintage Drag Series - Compete at both events and get a special waterslide decal that only racers can get.

This is REAL drag racing, NOT exhibition runs!

*1965 and earlier ONLY. If your car is newer than 1965, you’re not racing*

Some things to look forward to at the Hunnert Car Heads-Up:
* Handwritten time slips!
* Real flagman starts!
* Mini bike drag races!
* Heads up racing with gassers, A/FX cars, hot rods, dragsters, and even those low n’ slow customs!
* Car show in The Pits for traditional hot rods & customs only!

8 Simple rules that everyone (14 seconds and slower) should be able to follow:
1. Seat belts
2. All lugnuts installed
3. Metal oil pressure lines
4. No fuel pressure gauges in the cabin without an isolator
5. Dual throttle return springs
6. Non-glass coolant overflow can
7. No more than 12″ of rubber fuel line total
8. Closed toe shoes and long pants

If your car is quicker than 14 sec, you’ll have to look up the NHRA rules, but you should not have any trouble running at the Heads Up. We like fast cars.

Mandatory drivers’ meeting at 9am. Racing starts at 10am.
$15 for Spectators
$20 for ’65 and earlier cars who want to park in the pits, but not race
$30 to Race
$50 for open track Test & Tune Friday and all day Saturday
$20 to camp

 

Sounds like a great time, I wish I could make either one....

 

planning on being there!

 

Count me in!

 

How big does the car show get at this event? Never been to it but going this year for sure. Just curious, any lodging in the area? Thanks

 

I raced at the last three years, and plan on racing again this year.

 

Not gonna race but gonna try to make it, it's a good time.

 

yee haa.....
never missed it and won't

 

I will be running my t there for sure

 

7 runs last year, We can't wait!!!!!

 

I went last year and had a blast! Definitely gonna try to make it this year.

 

really wished you had this at another venue, would love to go but UG can kiss my ass.

 

Wouldn't miss it for the world. Came in second in gassers...looking for redemption!!!

Be sure to look for us, the Tent City Gang will be in full effect with the usual post race beer, BS, and BBQ social.

 

Why? UG is a historic dragway that opened in the 50s, has been super cooperative with us and with tech. It's not always easy to get old cars tech'd at these tracks, but I don't think anyone was turned away the last 3 years. The NHRA rules for most of the cars running are the SAME as the IHRA rules in effect at Byron and other tracks. OK, some of the line guys are a little grumpy, but who cares?

It was cold, overcast, and a bit rainy the last 2 years and we had about 1000 spectators, over 100 cars racing, and more than that showing off in the pits. Sorry, I don't have a good count of the show cars in the Pit since we really didn't count them, but it was a good show and it grows every year.

As for lodging, you can camp at the track, but there are plenty of hotels in nearby Kenosha, WI, as well as little cabins down by the lake if you're willing to drive an extra 15 min, but if you want a cabin, book it now.

Just as a teaser, here's what the special water slide looked like in 2011 (we're working on 2012's design now). ONLY racers can earn one. The decal was split down the middle (use your imagination). Race at the Heads Up and get one half. Race at the Meltdown, and get the other half. Put 'em together and show how cool you really are.



Here are the Heads Up water slide, plus the reprinted vintage time slips, and vinyl sticker from 2010.

 

On my Birthday too, thanks guys. I should be ther with the 59 and the FED if I still have it.

PBR..... I would be happy to show you my tail lights again if you still have the Truck.

We thought we'd throw you a party! haha

 

Can't wait!...uh....damn my truck doesn't run yet

 

You have time.

 

To make it more even....I say we should have matched cubic inches this year....

I will be there.

 

Me likey!!!

 

Thanks....should be wrapped in my 28 chevy in a few weeks. big goal is to have it up and rolling for the heads up!

 

Well does this mean I have to knock the dust off the gasser and get her ready for the drags?? I did one of these flags drags with the Road Rockets from Indy and had a blast!!! Well I guess this means I will have to get her rule ready and haul her ass up there !!

 

Ill be going. I might even make her legal and see what she'll do.

 

1st stop on the midwest tour !!!! cant wait

 

Were working on it. Plan on being there even if it's not done.

 

I might be in trouble, but then again you should have beat me with the truck too.
Make sure to take those dinky little air cleaners off whey you dyno it.

 

Hot diggity dog!
