Another 65 Dodge altered wheelbase project build

trouble maker nice video. too bad the guy wrecked his car. hope he was alright. my involvement with a aglia was much more colorful. i will see if my kid can get the video on here. the guy was running a blown sbc. in the lights he literally blew the crank into the ground. they had to pry some of it from the track. the car instantly burst into flames we were side by side at 180 mph. he looked over at me and started to loose it. three over corrections later the guy was barrel rolling across my lane. i pulled my chutes just missing him while sliding through his oil. i saw him hit the wall and go straight up in the air upside down on fire. i came to a stop and a strut with the brakes and wheel still attached flew past me. i ran up to him with my fire extinguisher and put out the fire. luckily it wasnt that big of one. its all about the application here. anglias and awb cars are cool. its just a fact that a blown seven second anglia doesnt belong on the track and a awb car doesnt belong on the street.

 

rlsteel no shit a dodge can crash. under similar conditions anglia vs b-body dodge i will take the dodge every time. there is a reason you dont see dodge colts or gremlins or chevettes or fast anglias. the wheel base is just too short. that makes for one dangerous car. you might go fast a few times but you are really rolling the dice and at some point they come up snake eyes. didnt don carlton crash in a colt and die i could be wrong.

 

You should kill the whole thread Ryan. Op isn't coming back. This thead is dead.

 

Would Ryan or one of the Moderators PM me. THANKS Chris

 

Ryan, please go ahead and consider my account as TheQuietOne deleted. It appears to be a one sided forum.

 

A name and bio from "racer-x" would be nice. I'd like to know what he has accomplished in the sport of drag racing.
Kinda like the "judge" from the GNRS that got down on Ryan without giving up his (or her) name.
Anonymity is o.k. in certain instances but I feel that if you are gonna post your true feelings about something, own those feelings with a signature.

I'd like to second that motion for myself also. PM'd the Moderators yesterday with no response.

 

Ryan, why in Gods name did you delete my posts from this thread? I backed out of the pissing contest long before it got all heated up, and was only trying to offer some educated observation. Not cool man.

 

I'm not into giving out personal info. on forums, but you might want to look at the HAMB group on Facebook and one of your questions will be answered.

 

hey guys --i took it as a well intended cleansing of the thread----not personal---but i am somewhat confused

 

Like racer-X said "well were waiting"

 

I was wondering the same thing about my posts....

 

I was at the 64 AHRA nationals in Scotsdale Arizona. Dick Landy was there with his AWB Dodge. I believe it made one run and splayed the front wheels on "landing". It may have made more passes previously but the one I saw ended his day...

 

Great. You wont give your name here but direct me to FACEBOOK? Geez must be some REALLY bad hombres at this site that puts the fear of i.d.ing your self here whereas Facebook is a Garden of Eden.

All right I'll go to Facebook. You better be there.

John

BTW I am not asking for personal l.D., SS no., or anything that couldn't be normally Googled. If racer-x is an accomplished, known entity, why the secret?

 

Well I tried.
Went to FB, typed in hamb, got hamburgers.
Typed in HAMB, got got more hamburgers.
Typed in H.A.M.B., got Google reference.
Typed in H.A.M.B. 64cyclone, more on site references.

Your i.d., however innocuous, will remain a secret.

John

 

i wasnt aware there was /is a hamb group on facebook

 

Yep. Almost 2,200 members.

 

ok , and how would one go about finding it ?
