    I challenge all of you to form race teams and build yourself a "hot rod". I would like to see more teams like Gordini's and Sam's and even mine.

    If you are uncertain about how to go about it....email any of us. It's not about setting new records...it's about the climax of the event. Having people from all over the US show up and hang out...that's what is cool.

    If anyone in the OK, TX area needs help in getting started we can have a HAMB build day. I'm in, and if I can speak for Rashy and Radshit...I'm sure they would be for helping as well.
    Get started....you have a year.

    in stark contrast to your challenge

    why not just show up in a rambler or ANYTHING and have fun?
    just show up and run what ya got...

    I dont nor did I have the resources to pull off what you did ROOT. It was awesome to watch and I stand back in awe, but I made it to the drags on a shoe string.... like others im sure... and I had a blast.

    <font color="green">How bout I just be on your race team, ROOT?

    I am far too lazy and po to accomplish what you did.

    On another note, I AM going to build what we discussed in the chat room.

    The "Okie Dokie Express"

    When I was just knee high to a grasshopper, growing up in Iowa, there was a chain of convenience stores named that.

    I think it was fate really.

    I am not saying you have to have a full blown race car just a hot rod. If you have a bunch of buddies and an old body out in the pasture, bring it on!!!!

    Roothawg, may I call you that?
    It just so happens that whilst you were posting, the local hotrod guru was in my shop laying out plans for the "Showme Coupe"(tm).
    Dunno ifn it'll happen by the time the drags come around, but a start is a start.

    Now if some body would buy the Merc, the "Showme Coupe"(tm) would take off at a fast pace.

    We will see.

    P.S. Rashy, I love you!

    hey Root, if i had any old bodys out in the pasture i would,
    1. Be building it instead of this plastic body that i got.
    2. Be wondering were a pasture came from, considering my high school is basically in my backyard.

    But i MIGHT have my "plexiglass" car" (in the words of my car illiterate friend) runnin if the drags are later in the rodding season. Is there any word on when/where it will be next year? Mo-Kan again?

    Thanks for the offer Roothawq, right now I'm just in the planning and parts hunting stage. But if this is going to happen, and I'd realy build a HAMB Drag Car, I will have plenty of questions to ask. I have no real Drag Race experience, but I think it could be a lot of fun!

    Maybe im selfish..but..I see problems ahead when several people invest together in most anything.

    Who keeps the car afterwards?
    Buy out plan?
    Sell it and split the money?

    <font color="green"> Honest is a wise man.

    I used to have this "friend"

    For the sake of argument we'll call her "wife"

    We quit getting along so well and all the sudden....

    EVERYTHING was hers.
