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

.

 

Should that say "doesn't show up" ??

 

He might say?

Its not how big it is, but how you use it.

or

As long as it satisfies me.

 

Benedict Arnold....

So much for support from the Canadian contingent...lol!

Scott

 

It doesn't go in very deep,but it beats the shit outta the sides...!!!!

Oh....Wait....you were talkin about motors,weren't ya...?

Sheesh......Aaaaaaawkwaaaaaaard.....!

Scott

 

Sometimes when the response is so obvious - ya just gotta take the shot.
Just heard the Cdn dollar is supposed to sink to .65 US. That seriously sucks !!! How the hell am I supposed to mess with the combination and drive myself nuts sorting it out in time for Meltdown, if I can't afford car parts ??

 

Dang Jeff, that was a nice stripe of smack back you laid down. You know, I've been thinking, since your new to the whole blower thing, and you wanna make a good showing at the Meltdown, maybe you could get Racer X to give you some tuning advice/tips. He really does have a good handle on it, and it might save you some new combo headaches.

 

Here we fuckin go.....

 

Scott just filled his engine diaper again

 

Hey now, while you guys were in the pits bench racing and wondering why the Headsup wasn't better advertised here on the HAMB and other areas (as we all were) Steve turned 3 runs in the 12's. As I remember right I didn't see the Okie Doker that day. Something about it couldn't take anymore beatings for the 2015 year. Oh and by the way as to date I haven't seen anything about the 2016 Headsup, love the advertising dept.

 

It ain't that Norb....Just watch.Ric just opened the floodgates for a 27 page tutorial...lol!

Scott

 

I seen somewhere that the Headsup is in June this year.

 

Th

The mans got skills Scott, ain't no denying.

I am looking forward to the Heads Up. It is a good event.

If my work schedule allows,I'm going to try to make the Heads Up too....There's not much in the way of Vintage style racing up here;mostly 60's muscle cars with tons of modern bracket electronics,or cars that are billed as "Nostalgia" because of a topolino body on a completely modern chassis.

Time Is going to be tight though.

Scott

 

So Scott you are going to have a whole year to get your car done and your not sure yet.

 

The only thing I'm not sure about is getting additional time off work.

I'm supposed to be running a project worth about $16 mil,and I already told them that the month of July is basically a write-off for me...lol

The car is definitely going to be ready


Scott

 

16 million Canadian ? So like the price of your pistons and rods

 

$16,000,000 Canadian dollars= $49.95 USD

Tony, Scotts building a small block Windsor, with plenty of "shelf" parts, so its a bit more affordable. When you want to go to Jurassic Park, and feed the Dinosaurs' Filet Mignon, Lobster & Don Perion', it gets a bit pricey.

 

Heard the Mopar Militia is going to the Zoo (this weeks meeting) to feed the Elephants

 

.., by the way Tony, I'm proud of you for not buying junk, and you've got the Childs nerves rattled!

 

Man! Don't tell him that! Never let them see you or your car sweat! I was gonna say something witty about how old and crusty our car is, but then I remembered Dick 'n Quirky was already 17 when the Child was first assembled!

 

And the Child was already 10 when the Shaker was born... lol!

Here is a picture for those more visually stimulated. Hunnert Heads-up 2016

 

Well Marc, its like this. Tony is the nicest guy, and I'm a bit convicted about always giving him zingers about being Captain Ahab, and rustling whales, so I thought it was about time to pat him on the back, and give him an "ataboy". After all, he did build a car and go racing a whole year, running respectable #'s while the ole Child was hibernating & and collecting June bug carcasses.
