Event Coverage Welcome to the 2017 Meltdown Drags

Okie Doke!

 

That crate motor deal is even better now that the price rose to $2000 for those things.

I should have stocked up at the previous $1500 price.

Kinda lame when inflation hits 30%...

 

I remember when the "Targetmaster" was $900......then $1200.....of course I was banging a new girl every week then too.......sucks to get old

 

That is the best comment I have read in weeks... thank you!

I think the odds are so good on winning that engine. I am going to buy me a new pulley and crank up the boost[emoji3]

Is there a good link to the fall fallout?
And the preregister?
The wife got the time off It will be fun to have her along for a trip to a race with me being that doesn't happen very often.

I am trying to make it.....not sure that I will be a big name though.

 

Ha Ha............your ticket is for the whole seat...............but you only need the edge.........Sunday, Sunday, Sunday,

 

Out with the old............and soon in with the new

 

Older style engine..............all about economy of scale....less vol , non current design compared to new production, ...means higher price. Just like 283 and 327 Pistons....they are real pricey......compared to 350.

 

One for saltflats

 

Two for Saltflats.

 

Another one from the Meltdown. Got the official "OK" from GlassThamesDoug to post it - he said he was doing "the hot rod walk"! I suppose most of us have done that a time or two.


Goes to show that drag racing ain't all burnouts and wheelies!

 

Nice pic.....I knew there had to be some pics out there. Hope to be much better next year... Wear the racing suit to look the Nostalgia Look ...

 

It works, that Moon logo on the back of your suit just makes it!
Glad I could add a pic to your Meltdown album. Had a blast, plan to do it again next year too.

 

Here's another shot, from Saturday night.

 

The Fords were fast too!

 

They all whooped my ass.

 

Only run made before the trans blew.

 

You're still a winner...cool machine you got there...

 

That is correct! "Noodle Arm" David Zie and "Sassy" Carly Stupar will be match racing all weekend! Carly just had her car dyno tuned and found 60hp and almost 100 foot pounds of torque! We went to Byron on Labor day and she made a pass at 13.47et and 100.93 MPH! They have been texting each other and are already bench racing! Can't wait to see this match up again!

 

Any recommendations on a chassis dyno near southeast Iowa?

22 days and counting till Fallout! Can't wait to see the racing, had a blast last year and plan on being there for every run. I does help that the track is only 10 minute drive from my house. So tell all your friends to come, we here in Wisconsin know how to hold a good event! See yas in 22 days!

 

I am thinking that "Noodle Arms" is gonna hafta buy the whole truckload of ice cream...

 

Is there a hotel near by that some of the racers will be staying?
Trying to get all my ducks in a row to make the haul up there.

 

James- there is an Econolodge about 10 minutes away. Supposed to be nice and clean and a reasonable rate.
