Don't leave your warm coats behind. It's cold this morning!
Still not the first set of left and right two prong knock off on short stands. Are they that rare or just nobody but me like them?:rolleyes:
I wouldn't do anything but de-tune it for the street, only if I had to. then enjoy it just the way it is. It's got "the look".
They inducted the 2013 new members of the GA, Racing Hall of Fame at the museum last weekend. Not sure what's happening this weekend being so...
"IMO why would you want to build a 100% exact gasser? By the time you find all the rare parts, you'd be scared to run the damn thing." I'm...
Then I must be right as rain! :D
My intention is not to "bag" on anyone or group. And I also try to limit my comments to those based on personal, first hand observations. But when...
Damn man, you aren't taking me seriously too, are you? Lighten up!
Was it a roller motor?
Who wants to see wheelies. hell they aren't "period correct". You can't have it both ways!
Seems we are saying the same thing. Hell back in the day when they stroked a engine they didn't run down to the speed shop and buy a crank. They...
In that case, wouldn't it be more exciting if they ran on "cheater" slicks today? Hell it's not like you can't still get them. You got to admit,...
Hey, I was standing near the finish line the other evening when he backed out of it, so don't try to tell me what's going on. I've watched um run...
So are you saying it's OK to run what you brung , as long as you don't out run anybody?
"Sure it might look the same from the stance or to the spectator in the crowd but you know damn well that car won't hook or go down the track like...
If your not willing to acknowledge the current engines running in these cars today are far superior to those of the 65 era then so be it. But the...
Are you under the impression there are not near 600 cu.in. stroker engines running in Quain's group now? And my point about the Moon Lighter...
I simply don't understand all the drama associated with the auto / standard debate. It's pretty ironic to see many of the same folks who hold...
Is it even the auto / manual issue that is driving the split? Or is there more to it?
"If its done riding on the reputation of others, well that doesn't seem right." But the reality is all these nostalgia type events are...
Is there some sort of an agreement that if a car runs with one group it would not be allowed to run with another as long as the car met both...
Quain and Night Stalker ran for the top Gasser. Quain's car lost fire, Stalker won. Then there was a match race show between the Stalker and...
My thinking was 700+ hp is a lot less expensive with a BBC than it is with a SBC. Plus I figure hp being equal the BBC should live longer. But I...
Yes, I see now that it seems to take around 700 or a little more to get that job done. I guess that leads to the next question. Using a BBC...
Is there any calculator that would tell a body how much horse power it would take to push a 3200# car a 1/8 mile in 6 seconds?
I don't know who's was the coolest but .............. [IMG] Mine was a 67 Cougar, I still think it was a nice car. You couldn't tell me...
