Damn Dude! When I saw the title of the thread I was scared to open it. Good to see you're at least doing well enough to type. Best wishes.
Looked up the address on Zillow. Pete must have been working out of his house in Atlanta. That's a nice place.
The Simpson and Schaffer (probably misspelled) 334 coupe was a bad machine. I think it ran deep 7s before its ultimate demise. Dave Schaffer and...
My brother does his own Christmas cards every year. This was 2019 I think.
No spaghetti junction traffic here. It was a good commute that day. [ATTACH]
My business is right at Spaghetti Junction. I've been driving in it for 40 years. Only take the Chevy II on days I know there's no traffic. Twice...
Bobby Schlegel restored that to its injected iteration (before the blower was added). Last I heard Rich Venza owned it here in Atlanta.
Hey Don. You have some nice stuff. I’m a sucker for “trick” paint.
Tony, your dyno video from Walden's shop is on Bangshift. https://bangshift.com/bangshift1320/injected-hemi-gasser-roar-on-the-dyno/
Impressive. It wasn't all that long ago (time is a relative thing) that Outlaw 10.5 guys were running low 5's with a boatload of nitrous.
Cool. I've been told Kaase is an interesting guy to talk to. If you could lose the 300 lbs (easy to say - not so easy to do) would you be in the...
Don Ewald's site said last week it was canceled/postponed. No confirmation from NHRA but they did suspend the June and July national events today....
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Tracks aren't open so it was detail day last weekend. Been a few years since we did more than just a quick once over.
Great job. Was that video before everything got shut down or are they doing some track rental?
Time flies. It'll be 15 years or so since I saw y'all at the Hamb Drags.
Root, I thought you were running alky. Was reading an old post yesterday about running with no cooling system and saw where you talked about being...
I'll bet Dawn Mazi Hovesepian can ID them.
Ok...that's funny.
We ran at the Super Stock Reunion races in VA in the mid to late 90's. Garlits ran his exhibition passes on the 1 lane return road/service road...
They visit randomly after you self report?
Ha! A thread with "altered" and "32 Ford" in the title...bound to draw in the riff raff. What's up guys?
You should just make that guy an offer... Scotrods will make a race weight body. You have to contact them for a quote....
A friend has one a few years newer. Similar drivetrain except its an older SBC. Drives his kids to school in it and runs 7's, 170 mph.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I still have the participant badges from 1997, mine and my future wife's. My fastest pass at the time. 9.70 I think.
You can run the pump off a belt drive. That's the way mine is set up.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here it is with a small block and original 3 point cage, and a few after it was updated to race. The original...
I have a picture somewhere, taken on the side of the highway, where we loaded up the Dixie Flyer/ BancAmericar chassis on the rooftop of Rick...
I believe 6 fuel cars plus the Factory Stock Shootout cars. Tony's car is still parked for now.
DOM 1....HELL za POP'n 0... Didn't get a chance to socialize, stayed pretty focused, but we had a good day. Good to see everyone, even if it was...
FWIW Josh drove the coupe. The 55 is down and we'd been talking about this for quite a while. After two relatively easy passes he had the go ahead...
