Eagle Field from a Flat point of view oct 2012

Well another Eagle Field drags are in the books and a great time was had by those who wanted a great time. Thanks to Rocky and all who put the time and effort in to make this a great time for all who show up.... see ya next time!!!!!
And a special thanks to Joe for even allowing us to spread some rubber on his airstrip!!!!!!
anyway enjoy............

 

even if you only come to see the flyover its worth it.........

 

and of course when you are in your eighty's whats better than getting in the Evil Twin and going for a ride!!!






And a special thanks to Rocky for letting this 67 year old teenager also get a ride in the Evil Twin, an experience I will long treasure, what a blast!!!!!!!

Tim was there with his Y-Block and "CREW"........




Amy gets the wheels up in the air...


so all in all another great event......................

 

Carl, it looks like a ball. Wayno

 

Fantastic Carl! Outstanding job on your FED, been following over on that thread. Looks like great fun.

 

Glad you all had a great day!
I must say I envy you having all the friends with flathead power.
Tis lonely here with the big six. Must be fun to have similar powered cars to race.
Thanks for the Pics
Don and the lads from Picton Airfield

 

Wish I lived a bit closer! looks to have been real good!

 

Was that Elmer 'Unsprung' Snyder up to his old tricks again? He's 86 years young and still racing and chasing skirt - way to go Elmer - what a guy!!!

 

Great racing. It's cool to hear flatheads, y blocks, hemis, and all sorts of 6's running WOT.

 

I can't even express the gratitude for helping us out yesterday.

I was really looking forward to racing you, but it looks like it will wait for another day.

But man.... Being able to drive the evil twin... THAT is a blessing in disguise!!

Yea D it was a real pleasure for Jack and I to spend the two days with you Bill, Amy, and your buddy with the neat 4. Man what a great day. Got the trans out today and it don't look good, rebuild time, so oh well time to add the trans brake and a few upgrades so its bullet proof......

 

^^^Carl did that scoundrel Elmer make a pass in the twin engined FED????

See post 3 thats................... Elmer......my hero!!!!

 

Was there with another flatty,,, not quite as quick I'm afraid, but still lots of fun. I had the 52 Plymouth, was a blast.

 

We are heading back to Oregon as we speak. Had an absolute blast. Rocky did an amazing job, and we were very thankful for all the hospitality our club was shown. Thanks again rocky, we will see you at the next one, next time we will bring bring even more members and cars-we had an amazing time!

 

Thanks for posting the pics Carl for us guys that can't be there, Tho I checked it's ONLY a 28 hour drive for me, I'll have to save up a few bucks to make the trip sometime, Tim Jones

 

Its WELL worth it! Its only 7 hours for us but we wont miss it.

 

looks like fun.

 

What do I miss about Calif? See Above. Green with envy in Alabama. Oh by the way Carl, I picked up an 8BA last week, will order tubing soon but project won't really get going for awhile. Engine is supposedly out of a 52 Pickup.

 

Thank you Carl for letting my son sit in you car. He had a blast his first time at the races.

Heck yeah, great times all around!! I know it's a flat thread, but damn was that little four QUICK! I ran against him with Rocky's single engine FED, and he got the jump, but I had a damn good time! Glad you got to spin the tires on the TWIN, one day I'll work my way up to the "big boy toys!"

 

Oh, and that flyover was AWESOME!!!

 

^
Ah what the hell astrozombie, I didn't know you were there! Would have loved to have met ya man! Next time??

 

Crap!! I didn't know you were there either!! Yeah, I had the Black Jeep with the goofy triangle camper. I was right behind Carl in the "pits" and was running Rocky's single engine dragster all day. (I'm surprised you didn't notice me, I was the guy with huge stupid smile on my face all day!!)

 

I had a GoPro strapped to the dragster too, I'm about to start a thread since I can't find a dedicated Eagle Field photo thread, and don't want to hijack others threads... (Like we haven't already!) Sorry Carl!!

No problem this is open to all who want to share.................

Racejam...Thank you Carl for letting my son sit in you car. He had a blast his first time at the races.

Love having the younger people get a chance to do something they may never get to do plus ifn I can get just one to take it up later in life than I will be pleased.

We were admiring your camper all day. Love to get one of those. Our buddy Don had the 4 banger rear engine dragster and had a blast running you.

Great meeting you!

Hey thanks, good meeting you guys as well! Damn that little car was FAST!!

The camper is crazy, it's a rental from the Navy base. It sets up and tears down really quick, and is surprisingly very roomy. We tent camped one time, but my back can't take that crap anymore. Rental camper it is!!

 

I drove 125 miles from Sacramento to watch the Eagle Field drag races. They were great and I'll go again next year. If you like dragsters from the 50s and 60s, Eagle Field is the place to go. Rocky and his staff organized the event very well and the starters did an excellent job of running the cars thru quickly without delays.
