Event Coverage Hunnert Car Heads Up Vintage Drag Racing #5

Who doesn't love a Swap Meet! Spaces at the Hunnert Car Heads Up are $20 for a 10x10 (plus general admission).

 

I posted the Heads Up/Meltdown waterslide decal on my Django Studios and HCHU Facebook pages last week. Maybe I should save them for the Friday art show?

Tshirt art has been sent to Marcy as well. I'm pretty happy with it.

 

Here is the waterslide decal that racers get at our event. Racers who also attend the Meltdown Drags get the second half!

 

Here's the breakdown:

$15 for spectators
$20 for '65 and earlier cars who want to park in the pits but not race
$30 to Race
$50 open test and tune Friday and all day Saturday for the event
$65 to Race all 3 days
$20 to camp, - no water/electric but there will be overnight security

 

What is everyone bringing? Hoping to see some new faces in the pits!

 

i plan on being there. tested this past sunday only to rip the pinion on a dana 60 in two. should be ready on friday.

 

a swap meet! oh yeah! I need some pointed Moon tanks!

 

The weather should be in our favor so the racing action should be fast, I'll be there

 

What is going on sunday. I heard there is a seperate gasser race. If so what are the rules and classes.

 

That depends on the car count...first year event so we will play it by ear...most importantly will be to get everyone to run...

 

a little heads up for the weekend. i just got word the original tom coward tom catter comet will be there both days. this a original 427 4-speed car. perfectly restored. original photos will also be displayed. this is the first public showing since last raced in 1966. less that 20 were made i have been told.

 

I'm shooting to make it for some spectating. Unfortunately, the "Abomination" Henry J won't make it this year. It is still recovering from a cracked cylinder head.

 

That's awesome on the Comet.

Sorry to hear that Ryan.

Here's the Tshirt art that I did for the show...

 

nice shirt im going to have to grab a couple friday

Very cool hope you have enough 2xl for us little guys can't wait!

 

This event is always a good time!

 

great shirt chad!!

 

Is the schedule the same for Friday and Saturday?

If I get there at 1pm tomorrow will I be seeing some racing?

 

Thanks! We ordered more larger sizes this year, but they always go really fast. I wouldn't procrastinate on getting to our tent for that.

On Friday, the gates open at 3pm. The track will open between 4-5pm depending on the number of cars. The first band, Esme and Plum Crazy start at 7pm followed by Crazy Rocket Fuel at 9pm.

On Saturday, the gates open at 8am but the track opens later. At 7pm The Dyes play and at 9pm, Hillbilly Idle plays. Sunday, gates at 9am for the Gasser Nationals North.

 

Best of luck to everyone who attends the event. Again this weekend
conflicts with the NHRA Div#3 Race at Joliet, Il. I hoped go this year,
but we are running the Henry J in Top Sportsman at Joliet.
Hope the weather is good for all of us.

Here's a new music video from our friends The Dyes, who play Saturday night at 7pm.
