Back up top while I am working on posters and getting pics ready to add

 

Folks, Scot has given you a shot from left of the staging area above, and the whole place is as roomy as this. really a nice spot, just outside city limits of Reynolds.

 

Here's a nice aerial pic of the track and facilities



Note:

*To the immediate left of the tower just out of view is Mrs. Dorothy's new souvenir shop. This is where to purchase souvenirs and electricity if you plan on bringing an RV that requires electrical hookup. They also have an RV station for dumping and fresh water on site.

*Directly East of the stands is their very own "Hot Rod Cafe" that serves the best hamburgers, hot dogs and Coke products.

 

Just realized my link to the track web site wasn't working and corrected it. Seems to work OK now.

 

ur flyer BE THERE!!!

 

Hard to believe it's been nine years since we came up from Florida for the first one.

 

Here's a shot from #1, guy drove it from south of Daytona.

 

Awesome chopped! Get the word out brother and I hope to see you at this one Got any more pics from the early ones?

 

Pics from last year and prior Some of them not mine but still way cool.

































Sun setting on us last year as the Jungle Jim funny car remake attempted to lay it down



More from years past to come...

 

Hoping to have our FED there for this one

 

I think by then Tony we will be ready! I think the Geargoyles are interested as well. I love going down to the Silver Dollar.

 

Josh, if you can also get Can-O-Worms down there, maybe you can bring fastest hot rod title back to GA.

 

you got it going on scot , dom, lookin good, by the way I told somebody last year I wanted to donate that great , drove the longest, trophy back for this year.....let me know, looks like a full house this year, dom, no truck diving this year......lol

 

Mullette, I sure as hell hope no truck diving! If the Sock Fuckers can get as many cars to Reynolds as we got to SIM, we'll have a well represented club!

 

@burnout2614 Hee Hee let the smack talk begin LOL

 

Thanks Bobby I will keep at it brother CL

 

By then I should have some small diameter slicks for my roadster so's I won't have to baby it off the line to keep from going up in smoke. Small dia. will hopefuly compensate at least partly for the too tall 3.70 rear gear.
Also I have a friend here in town who drag races some bad ass nitrous cars at Reynolds and who has 4 scales so's I can balance out weight in hopes it'll help keep that rear straight when the tires do spin. Then I can talk some shit!

 

I too need to try some shorter tires on my coupe. I believe those heavy 12" wide by 31.5" tall meats are slowing not only my reaction time but my 60' and overall 1/4 mile times a bit.

One thing I don't want to do is be too fast to run without a cage or the such. Then it wouldn't be fun anymore.

Last year after giving rides all day, on the last pass the timing lady said I was too fast for passengers. I told her that's alright we're done for today.

Hopefully we can get some local and out of state CCs on board with this way cool and super fun event.

I will be there in the 30 model smoking up the track

 

Looking good brother Keep those tars on there and I'll show ya my tail lights

 

Lol you better let me see them before we get on the track

 

Looks like I need a bigger rear view mirror, that sedan takes up more real estate than the truck

 

You better bring your ear plugs and I will bring you a pic of the front of my sedan you can put it over your rear view mirror hehe

 

Hopefully that perdy paint has cured by November, that way all we have to do is reattach your doors

 

How fast did you have to go brfore they said that was too fast for ride alongs, Scot? And I agree, I don't want a roll cage in a car I drive on the street either, If I ever got up to that kind of speed, then I'd put a throttle stop on

 

You guys need shirts...
