    Hey Jim don't hurt yourself.
    I just figured out what I need to do to get ready for the meltdown drags.
    I just need a good 3 seconds worth of work and then I will be good.
     
  2. Saltflats & Squirrel.., I hate both your faces right now.

    I am going to throw all my efforts at the 409 this year. I have a modified factory 2X4 intake to play with and a basket full of carbs also. Hoping for a third peddle set up also.
    I will turn the reigns for the Charger over to some buddies and give them the drag racing bug. That's unless they make me look bad then I will have to show them how its done.

    All-

    For those who are on Facebook, make sure you "like" the Meltdown Drags page. Each week we will be posting pictures of some of the pre-registered vehicles, so you can see what's coming. Next week's post might be about some Canadians...I think I have a picture of Scott's car getting towed...that might be some good foreshadowing!

    On a serious note, the car count so far is far exceeding our expectations...it is going to be a great year.

    While we're at it,why don't we make it a full set?

    Last year I sawed off GoonSprocket's '56,so after the Shaker thrashes your '57 this year,all I need is a 55 to complete the set!

    Maybe I will have to go after more than one Koopmeiner...?;)

  15. From the sounds of the smack-O-gram staging lanes, the MD Crew might need to include some grief counselors this year.

    Scott-

    I hope your little Lukeplakia Shanker Cumstang can bring it this year....If you do take down the Okie Doker, I am sure that the Gold KNS car will be more than happy to put you back on a trailer to Canada

    For those who don't know me...I just like talking crap...my car is not fast, nor am I a sore loser...

    I will start to post the pics here at the same time I make the Facebook posts...Every year I am more impressed with the cars that show up and this year is no different. (I will post Monday's post later tonight)

    If you only friend car people...keep family and non car friends off your friends list...you can then keep the drama and whining down and like all the car and vintage stuff, because there is a ton of it.:D

    I gave up my personal Facebook about 4 years ago and it was the best thing ever...like an addict quitting meth.

    I now just have one for my car and ONLY the people I want to connect with.

    So, in anticipation of the Meltdown, we started Meltdown Monday on Facebook. We will post a few pictures each week. We may not get to every car, but we will get to as many as we can. Here is Monday's post and the pics.

    This week's feature is called "West Coast Invasion"...

    Joe Hickenbottom is coming back with his sweet 65 Plymouth;

    Rocky Phillips is bringing back the Evil Twin;

    Sam Evans is bringing his Cuda;

    Ric Panneton is bringing back Yesterday's Child...

    We even heard a rumor that the Famoso Speed Shop is coming back again...
