Event Coverage El Mirage opening weekend

I thought I'd start the weekend pix off with a few sneek peeks.
I finally got my trailer Camping worthy. The Old Crow won't be runnin til July or Aug. But my buddy Logan Davis is runnin his filled flathead block with nitro. Should be interesting.
I'll post more tomorrow.

 

Cool submarine

Damn, wish I was there.

thanks for the pics, looking forward to more.

 

always good to be there early-like the special weight reducing holes in belly tank

 

That trailer is coooooooll!!!

Best of luck to those that are running in 2011.

 

The weather is so perfect, everyone within driving distance should come out.

 

nice bobby!

 

Wish I could be there. Good luck Logan!

 

Best of luck to Logan!

 

Logan just ran 130 Something. Not too shabby
Here a pic of the new car hauler


There's a Bellytank for sale

 

i <3 Bobby Green.... ruler...

lake surface looks primo too... low winds, clear... should be some fast times

 

So I'm back home.. dirty, tired and ready for a nap! Stan Back ran 190.30 on his old 193.9 record. The funny thing is, Kitch' thought he only went 150-160mph. Check out the youtube video link, once the car was unloaded and headed for home! Street legal(and registered), except for the beautiful sound coming from those pipes!

pics..



Jim Kitchen(Stan Back) Has owned the Roadster for 50 years..













The closest I ever get to going down the course, 'til we have to
make that left..

 

Here's the 911 roadster, in all it's nakedness! It's not too purdy, to get durty.. 247mph @ 37percent throttle! No traction, but still just eatin' up the track!

 

that car hauler is awesome!

 

We had a 40mph tailwind on Sunday with lots of dust and COLD air!

 

WOW,makes me want to sell all the drag racing junk and build something to go play in the dirt!!!! Great pictures!! ROY.

 

I agree! Being so close to El Mirage its a must.

 

Damn..... saw that hauler in the pic Penny posted on FB.....that thing is so cool......love it

 

Any interior shots of the camper Bobby?

 

You need to have Craig put the Old Crow artwork on the doors!!!!

 

I think Logan ran 139??? But where are the pics of the pirate ship!!!

 

yup we got 139 and some change

 

Awsome! I'd like to be there.

 

Here they AARRRRRRRRRR. These fools kept us entertained both nights. They had cannons, lazers, and a boat load of drunks!

 

oh btw,,, that's my motor, who built it is a mystery but word on the street it was built over 10 yrs ago for a FED. not many folks use aluminum anymore because you have to do it just right.
Tyrel brokered the deal then Logan and I went and picked it up. its a bitchin motor with lots of little flathead speed tricks. we weren't going to run it until Tom told us about his El Mirage blocks... insane!

 

Hey it was nice meeting you and Logan. I ( Huggy) was with Justin and another friend Rob from the Lifter's in San Diego. Your car hauler and belly tank are nice! Thanks for the hospitality and see you guys again out there. El Mirage is always a good time.

 

I had the most amazing time at El Mirage, if you've never been.....go!
