Antique Nats. 2008 - LOTS OF PICS!

Our Friend Kendra built that car. I built the headers and we did some other work for her. My buddy Fernando Alonso built the engine, and then we got it running and tuned, for her at the shop. I think she ran 14.70 she was spinning the tires pretty good. She is hardcore man, she drives that thing everywhere! She is in the process of building a 34 5 window right now.

Okay! Always wondered about it. I saw a picture of it in your shop somewhere. Rad car! Good for her!!!

REALLY!! RESPECT!!

**also thinking to self** "that's pretty hot "

 

Thanks for the pictures Scooter, I have this thread on a link now.

 

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone! Much appreciated! Just glad to share with all of you. Pictures don't capture everything there was to be seen, but I guess you can get an idea of what was there. Definitely a show where the rule of "Quality, not quantity" came into play! Even then, still a LOT of cars.

 

Great pix!!!----Even the Whizzers looked good---Better than mine did back in 1947----------Don

 

Many Thanks Forthis Great Post .

 

Scooter...excellent, crystal clear photos..Great eclectic group of cars and bikes.

 

Cool pics dude, thanks for sharing!

 

nice pics! those aren't hit and miss though.. .they have 2 push rods, they hit on every lick... cool none the less!

 

As always, GREAT PICTURES!
Thanks for posting!

 

Yeah, I wasn't that one was, but the other one is for sure. And yes, VERY cool! Everyone should have one of those laying around!

 

YEP! Maybe you can come out and bring your Vicky next year!!

 

Actually the big one was a hit or miss. Listen to the video - you mainly hear the little one running but every once in a while you hear a Pufft out of the big one. The guy who had them stuck his foot up on the wheel to put a load on it and it started firing more often, once he removed it, back to occasional fire. Very cool to see.

 

great pictures ! and look at all those flatheads makes me home sick .

look`s like a day at the orange county nostalgia drags in the late 70`s

thank`s for the post.

 

Great pics, any of the door cars fast?

 

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing.

The blue tudor sedan belongs to my wife, Diana. She ran hard all day and ended up winning her bracket. It was pretty cool to watch her beat all the guys!

There getting to be kind of hard to find(expensive too). I've got 4 of em on the motor in my roadster, they work pretty good.

 

Damn it!! I had a great time last year..can't believe I missed it this year!

Hey Tom, I remember correctly your wife was saying in Austin you beat her last year.. did she beat you this year?

-Juan

 

Yes she is! She's on cloud 9 right now.
Thanks

 

I didn't race this year, my car wasn't ready.
It was good talking to you in Austin Juan, hopefully we'll hook up again soon.
Tom

 

me too ! do they still race the wizzers ? that was always a good time to get a drink and a hot dog , and come back and watch the finish

I hated to hear OCIR got shut down last time I was there was 83 ?

I will have to try to come out there next time .

 

Ya, there were some Wizzers running. I was told that there was a close race between a couple of the over heads and the clocked a speed over 50 mph!!!!!

 

Thanks for pics! My brother and I were there, we had the 4 banger dragster you shot the video of. In case anyone is curious, we had a 12.91 @ 105 mph pass in the morning, but broke our flywheel bolts in the afternoon. Broke them at the shift, but still had a 14 second pass at 94 mph with just the hole shot. The nat's are always a blast, and the day goes by too fast!

 

Great pictures, it looks like an awesome show!

 

Oh! Cool! Thanks for the show! Neat car for sure! Sorry you guys got in trouble for your little show... DOH!

 

thanks for sharing.
a date set for next year?
i'm going for sure. too cool with all the bikes and homemade rides!

 

Anyone know anything about the blue 36 pickup? I love it.
