Thanx Carl. Month and a half after March Meet so I can do both this year
Anyone planning to be at the March Meet this year? 16 car field for nitro front engine dragsters, 16 car Funnycar field + usual batch of...
Thank you for sharing…nothing like a flathead digger to get the blood boiling

Wow Thought I’d been here a while but guess I’m pretty new compared to you geezers. 97663
Been a subscriber since the mid 60’s. Magazine is nowhere near what it was (neither am I), but this issue is the best in a long time.
First In-n-Out burger I ever had was at the old Irwindale track when the Snyder’s ran the concession there. Went to grab a burger before we even...
That find is a deal, regardless of the cost
This IS a points meet for top fuel. They only have 4 points events in that class. Normally there are a handfull of west coast rails making the...
this is a points meet for the heritage series (top fuel and fuel funnies) so it’s definitely a race.
A lot of dealers offered them in order to advertise a super cheap price. Got people into the showroom (usually for an upsale)
The AllAmerican Fuel Dragsters offered to bring enough cars and additional purse money to the reunion and guarantee a 16 car field. NHRA said...

Low budget guy here. All my loose change went into the racecar rather than a hauler. Tow bar behind my pickup on the freeways of southern Cal...

Check out Jerry Bickel racecars. They have a great book on tube chassis and a couple on tuning chassis
did sorta the same thing only at my school on a Friday night. Nice black stripes in first, second and a start on third before I ran out of room....
I’ll be there. Dead motor so just be spectating this year
I know EACTLY where everything is in my shop. Only problem is I can’t find it or can’t get to it
Damn, now I’ll have to take tomorrow off and just admire the picture of a clean portion of your shop
My timing is perfect. I just logged on tonight to try finding plans. Flathead rail is my next project.
Who doesn’t need a ‘38 buick. One of the best looking fat fenders around
Another vote for BrassWorks. Great product, great service, made i USA
Bought some in 68-69. Not shure how long they had been on the market before
For the $$$ it’s hard to beat the Astro Onyx. 4 years+ of heavy work and mine still going strong.
Guess it’s just you:) No problem here last week
Thanx for the heads up about the Element extinguisher. Noticed yesterday that the extinguishers in both rides showed discharge on the gauge....
Sometimes missing bolts/parts is beter than finding pieces under the car with no idea where they came from
I have a set of Norsemen (made in USA) stainless and they are awesome. Around $90 on Amazon for 29 piece set. Well worth the cost
A little bit of everything from David Alan Cole to Dave Brubeck. Some Do-Wop for variety
