Event Coverage Official 2016 Meltdown Drags Thread - What are you doing to get ready?

Holy crap.Thats a big Ol lump on top o that thing....I see the coating up too and on the skirts too.Looks pretty slick
What's the compression going to be sitting at?

 

Confuscious say..."Not wise to challenge bullet maker to gun fight at Byron coral..."

 

14.5:1

 

Holy crap.....I get the feeling that if there were any SBC motors in the back part of the Bible,you know,where everything gets really scary....That would be the SBC that would be in there.[emoji15]

 

We may have to call this motor "The Reckoning"!

 

"The Reckyourhemining" "The Reckyourratning" "The ReckyourOinkyDoinkerning"
"The Jeffiraffe Hunter", "20 Ways to Leave Your Blubber" (you know, early Hemis are whales, and they were hunted for blubber.., get it)

 

OK, where's the 'dislike' button?

 

RUT ROH! We done pissed off a whale watcher.

 

Well let's see PEM ...
Pacific_rim Exploding Monster ?
Probably Ejecting Momentarily?
Press Eject Missile!!!!
Probably Excluded for Manual trans......

 

I was thinking more like... Parts Exploding Maniac

 

Pinion
Ejected
Momentously
Salty asked about the quality of a PEM case someone brought him last week to assemble for them. You might want to turn his attention yo what's left of that one.
Projecting
Entrails
Momentarily

 

Probable
Exiting
Mechanicals

 

If that is the shanty town shop behind the car I don;t think it will with stand the winter. JMO

 

This center in your front engine rail.

=Penis Extraction Machine.

 

My shanty town shop has held up to the winters that we have just fine.

 

You can use emery cloth to get that chalky stuff off the top - probably casting flash.

 

I checked the PEM web site and they are saying this third member is rated for 600 HP
Not sure what he has in front of it.
Kinda funny how things work. When he called he said he had one of the Strange N cases maybe I misunderstood him and he said he had a strange looking case.

 

That chalky stuff (thermal barrier by H.M.Elliot in North Carolina) is gonna allow us to run our 14.5:1/800hp maniacle mouse on a lower octane, less expensive grade of race gas, &/or E85 if we should choose.

 

7 months ladies and gentlemen....time to get to work on those cars

 

Gonna get the new slicks mounted on my Ol steelies Friday afternoon so I can get busy mocking them up

Then it's back to engine stuff,finishing exercising some electrical demons,and plumbing/wiring the line lock.

 

What are you working on now I thought you already did that work on the butt?

 

I can't wait
Shit now I have to change my pants.

 

Hi James

We did all the hacking out of rusty crap,and replacement with shiny new metal (and cheated by an inch or two where possible to allow for a little more space for a tire to fit),but I ran out of bucks to get an actual manly sized tire sitting under it,so it's been sitting on those wee little 26's til now.
Through the generosity of Brother Jon Tomkins we now have some 28" tires for mockup that look pretty meaty.

The line lock never got finished,and neither did "the Little 289 That Could"...lol

Lots to do,not much time left for the doin'......I better buckle and enlist some help.
Byron doesn't seem to want to help much:

He did help me start a "To Do List" though:


Scott

 

Interesting that "beating the Okie Doker" didn't make your list... I guess you like to work your way up to larger milestones

 

Scott as long as you can make the power to the ground that list should not be to hard. That is just a little 289 good luck!

 

I like to multitask Jeffro,so I'll just wheelie right on past the Ol Croaky Choker![emoji16]

Actually,I have a feeling there might be some wheelie action out of the Okie Doker this year too...

Scott

 

Nothing to see here Scott...that tired little 327 that has been in my car is just going to try and survive another year and maybe someday squeak out that 11 second pass

 

Poker faces all around these guys ..... I've got a full house - let's just get that out of the way now

 

Just the same old story here.
I have been trying to trade some Mopar stuff for some more Mopar stuff but these Mopar guys are a tough nut to crack.
I seem to have some stuff that they want but to get something out of them has been my quest.

 

James,I find Mopar guys to be more guilty of hoarding than Ford or Chevy guys in general.
If you can tempt them into some kind of trade,or lure them into a deal with some parts they are lusting after,I have found that to be the easiest way.
