    muttley, that thing is fucking rad. was it at the eagle field show with cragers and redlines? i think we ran a shot of it in the event coverage.

  5. You know ill be there for sure. Dragfest is my favorite event by far. I'll be running the same old motor & trans as last year, but hopefully will have some slicks this time around. guess I'll have to wait another year before i get the opportunity to smoke that dodge of yours!

    Yeah, that was it. I sold the Cragars/redlines at Turlock a couple of months ago. I liked them but they werent exactly what I wanted for the car. They were a leftover from my old Econoline pickup that the guy didnt want when I sold it. Thanks for running a photo of my car in the magazine, I've never had anything I owned in one before. ;) :D
     
  7. I'm going. Was gonna bring the Model A, but you're convinced radial front tires (Pirelli's) didn't exist in the 60's on Hot Rods:p. So, I fear I might get turned away @ the gate. So, I'll bring the Toyota, and leave it in the lot just to be safe:D

    i would love to make it out there. if i can dump some of these responsibilities, i just might show.
     
  17. i'm going, no car though.
     
  18. I'm going. I'll be helping out with this car..maybe I'll get to run it too.
    I'm going to try to bring my truck too, if I can get the motor done.


    Hopefully they let the Dodge run this year..I think everything is sorted out on it now.

    I'll be there with the Rooman/Horan Top Fuel Dragster. The Fuel pits at Bakersfield, nothing better. The car is a work of art, stop by and take a look.

    I'm flying out to Everett Wash tomorrow to paint Nasty Dave Benjamins AA/FA with his nephew Tom Padilla driving. Stop by at dragfest and say hello to Dave. I am also painting his satellite bodied N/FC, the one we launched last year at B-field. . Lippy [​IMG]

    Hi Z. I don't know when they will run the F/C again, but he will have the altered at Dragfest from what I gather. Wish I could go. Lippy

    Zombie- the best laid plans!!

    I'll be up there,but only as a spectator this year. The Identity Crisis replacement, this '64 Comet AWB, aptly named "The Rocket", will hopefully make its appearance at the following years DragFest. 13 to 1 compression vintage B/fx 289 stuff, along with Brunswick Bowling Alley plastic seats.
