Event Coverage Run What Ya Brung Nostalgia Drags- Reynolds, GA Nov 8,2014

Good Idea!

HEY DOM - Can you fix the title of the thread to include the date?

 

Title now includes date per request.

 

High tech man! High tech.

 

Go man! Go!

 

Bump for the morning crowd.

 

Not too bad this a.m. Only down 3 pages in 8 hrs. The old HAMB it would've been buried to about page 20 by now.






New page, time for a flyer

 

Well, it dropped 11 pages in the 16 hours since you posted! Things must be picking up on the HAMB!
Spent some time yesterday on slicking up those old American Racing 10X15" Daisy wheels so I can mount my slicks. Since I have some time yet, I'm gonna try to do a first rate job of polishing the outer machined area that has been polished before by a previous owner. They'll fit in my big lathe now with the tires off, so if I'm ever gonna do it, I figger now is the time! Plan to leave the as cast center area unpolished, and hope that the Gibbs brand metal protectant oil will do as advertised and prevent future oxidation. Took a heavy duty application of an acid product meant for cleaning aluminum to get rid of the old oxidation "blooms" that had developed and looked like bits of popcorn stuck to the spokes
.

 

what product for cleaning DOM, and wher can I getr this gibbs stuff............
damn keyboard cant even spill 1 beer on it without it screwing up, or did I drink that beer....hmmmmmm

 

Bobby, send me a pm (the HAMB drop downs now call it "starting a conversation, or some such shit) with your phone number and a good time to call, and I'll call you. Too much typing, and my keyboard is sticky too! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Bump again, 5 pages in 7 hrs.

 

Bobby, you gonna send me a number, or make me type all that info?

 

So who's comin?

 

im in......

 

Dave,make sure everything's tight! HRP

 

Me and Hope will be there

 

Danny that drag link is now double jam nutted, and the tie rod will be soon as I get a chance to get to line up shop so's he can install nuts and set toe in all at the same time.
We have a blast @ Silver Dollar/Reynolds wish some of you SC folks would consider the trip. Atmosphere very much like Greer or Union, just smaller.Really a first rate NHRA Sanctioned facility.
Our campfire Sat. night is well known as a mecca of BS and excess consumption, LOL!!!!!!

 

Dom. You want me to bring toe plates when I come that way this weekend? We can set that toe.

 

Josh,that would be a first class deal, that way if the tie rod is too long, to accept double jam nuts I'l have my lathe right there to shorten it. Capt Mulette is talking about coming to Reynolds Fri night to try his new setup on quarter mile as he doesn't have a quarter near him in FL. Supposed to let me know tomorrow. Stay in touch. If he comes up,I will most likely go to Reynolds to try to help him or spy on him. Take your pick!

 

wont be coming Friday dom, dammit, had something come up but ill be up before long and ill bring that hoop.....

 

OK then - Planning on making a Southern SFCC tour - Nab the Mill, Hit DOM's, Set Toe - Go to Chuck's and crawl in the shop

 

I'd really like to try and make this. So I am a maybe at this point......

 

Alright! Sounds good, who else is planning on attending?

 

The weather ain't looking too good for this weekend,I hope it improves for both the racing and the North Georgia swap meet. HRP

 

Yeah this weekend is probably going to be a bust here as well. I also saw where Quain and the Southeast Gassers have cancelled their Knoxville Dragstrip event due to the weather.

I have a few ideas for some cool awards this year. Any ideas to help with or even volunteer to make one or some would be greatly appreciated.

Redsled can you shoot me an email @ scot1@windstreamdotnet

 

OK, Josh, we'll meet up in am and go load the mill, back to shop, add 2 extra jam nuts on BGII's tierod and set her toe in, then we'll head for Chuck's place to see what kinda ruckus we can stir up there. If weather looks decent I'll likely drive BGII to Chuck's.
Capt.Mullette: Sorry you can't make it tonight, but let me know when you're coming up to Reynlds and Silver Dollar Raceway to try that gear on a quarter and I'll be there to offer what help I can give, and to get that hoop, as I need to install one on BGII before RWYB. Never worried too much about one while running those skinny Cokers, but those 10.5 X 29.5 Hoosies are gonna put more strain on the driveline for sure. I've seen the damage a driveshaft can do on the way out from under a car and it ain't pretty!
Scot, do you want me to call you when I get word fom Mullettte he's coming up for tests? Matbe you'd like to join the party!
Danny, have fun @ the swap meet.

 

sounds like a plan dom, if you want ill ship it.....

 

No need to ship Bobby, but thx for the offer. I'd sorta like to come down to the strip when you test, and maybe Scot will show up too.

 

Sounds like a plan. Yeah Dave, Bobby will usually give me a heads up when he's heading north Ain't that right Bobby? But would be good to get a second memo just for a reminder.

 

Days till go time! KL!!!

 

Roger on the heads up for Mullette visit, and Roger on that photo. Looks to be Darlington. Believe it or not, I watched both those guys race along with the other 2 Flock bros., Fonty and Bob, plus many other famous old drivers such as Lee Petty, and Marshall Teague in either 52 or 53 on the half mile dirt track at Central City Park in Macon, GA.
