  5. This killer shot is of BOMBSHELL BETTY at the Bonneville World Finals, last October.

    Lets hope for a dry course, this Oct.

     
  6. Cool shot in impound from a fellow HAMBer!

    Special thanks to all who stopped by the pits and bought support shirts or Max Grundy prints.



    CHEERS !

    Congrats Jeff.

    162 with the windows down works for me.

    Please share the details of the motor. All I can determine is stock head (XO classification) and a 4 barrel.

    A couple months back you bought an adapter,
    and I searched through your website,
    and recognized the race car.
    Definitely cool stuff going on out there.
    Congratulations on the record!

    Great car. Great work. Congrats on the record.
     
  25. THANKS HAMBers !!!

    We got the engine out today. Head her down to Doug Anderson of Automotive Machine in Albuquerque tomorrow.

    DerbyDad your close, but thats just one card to play. 1" increase in tire diameter and maybe go 5 speed, if I can pull good with that, I'll take a 3.0 posi unit to swap out in the pits.... stay tuned!

    Lets think 170 ! for World Finals.

  28. Hard... duty!
    It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it!
    people think this race car stuff is all fun and games...

    This is Liz Legget from Canadian Hot Rod Magazine.
    COOLEST woman I've ever met.
    She wanted to shoot the car... I had better ideas.
