DOTD Video - 'D.W. vs. The Chevy'

yea I wish I had a flathead to race ?
and wait I have a good picture of a clown car on a trailer ! that made half a pass? here`s my buzzard clown doll .

 

This has got to be one of the coolest videos ever!

 

Great video!
DW is "Mr All Bidness!!"
Dw took me for a demo spin in that car in Joplin this year and the best description I can come up with is "violent".
I've never been in a car that quick. I grinned the rest of the afternoon.

We collect for everything else here on the HAMB. Maybe we should solicit donations for a new shifter for him. To have a car with the potential that one has and to hear Dave shift like he does is,,,,, well,,,,,, disheartening.
I know he wants to do better, right? <

 

I kinda thought that. That will be killer ..

 

He is running a sbc with nitrous. Not sure how big a shot. The car is setup for 1/8th mile but he came to have fun with all of us so he said what the heck. He had to let off at the 1/8 because the motor was leaning out with the nitrous he said. Thats the main reason I like the in car switch so you can still race on motor and not the auto switch. That was was probably one of the closet matchup though

 

Way kool shit.

Don't forget D.W. paid the price 2 years ago at the roundup fer having a badass fast hot rod.

 

Dave and Blake -- You don't know how inspiring that it is. I have been kind of low profile lately, in a car slump, and that my friends has got me off my ass and back out to the garage. Shit I want to race now, anybody want a POS shoebox?

Great car. Great video. Great guys!

 

That was bad ass! Thanks blake for starting my morning with a big smile.

 

Dig it.....cool video, I think the shifts sound pretty cool, I like the video at that old strip where your girl is in the stands videoing

 

That was an awesome video. Holy smokes that thing gets down the track.

 

DW.....Kewl....Luv that vid. Glad your putting a cage in. I was thinking as I was watching, No belts that I could see and no cage. Better not get a flat !

 

Now that rules!!! The video and the cars! For the record dave I've given up trying to catch you. I'm just going to be happy hitting 11's.

VERY good to hear you'll be putting some kind of roll bars in her Dave. We like you way to much to let you keep running those speeds without one.

 

Great vidio!

 

That was awsome too bad there wasn't external video too. That way you could see what was going on outside the cars as well.

 

Great video to start the day. I didn't even turn down the sound here at work. Thanks!

 

That makes sense. They are real close at the 1/8 and then he fades out of the window pretty quick. Might have been ahead at the 1/8.

Senior fried, tell us about your ride. I was the guy doing the classifications that was telling you I'm going to paint my '55 a real similar color to yours. I'm going to be running a small block and most likely spraying it. I'd like to hear some engine specs, tranny, gearing, how big a nitrous shot and when, race tires, weight of car, weight of first girlfriend, favorite food, etc. What does it run in the 1/8?

I'm sure after so many seeing that video, I'm not the only one that is curious.

 

Damn. It's hard to keep up w/ all of you guys running automatics & laughing gas. 1st Kieth, then Dennis, & now Buzzard & the entire Dirty clan
Well @ least the Dirtys are gonna run a 4 speed in tha Anglia, right guys?

 

And a proper helmet and fire suit?

 

Damn Dave, thats sweet!

 

Well, that made my fucking day. had to shut the office door tho...................!

 

It's 406 D.W.

 

If you gotta go, might as well go down in flames!

For real though...roll cage for sure buddy.

The violence in Dave's coupe is awesome. It scares kids and old ladies.....and full grown adults. If old Henry could see his steel run like that. He would love it.

Blake...killer video again.

 

Hey man D.W. is a driver ! The 55 has a 406 sbc with a cola crank, eagle rods, forged pitons 10 to 1 compression aluminum victor j heads, solid comp cam, ford rear ,456 gears mossier axels w/ spool. the car is all steel . weighs 3625 #s it takes alot to get her rollin. best 1/8 et. 6.83. I ran sunday after the dotd in Ennis and ran a 10.91 et. at the texas muscle challenge.. I will post up later . I will fill you in on the nos set up that I have. Dennis

 

Seeing that video made my week. Blake - awesome job as usual.

For those of you who haven't seen DW's coupe run - you have no idea what you are missing.

 

10.90's in that battleship? That IS kick ass. What trans are you running? That would make a hell of a street car w/o the spool in it! My buddy here @ the shop & all of his grandkids were @ the drags & they all remember your 55 as one of their favorites. Any chance you will bring it to pistons & paint next weekend so we can drool over it?

 

WTF??? No longer available????

 

WTF are you doing wrong? I just played it.

 

Damn DW, you guys are movin. Maybe with a little luck I can run with y'all next year... I'm switching to a auto " I hate to" along with a fresh up this winter.

 

FUUUUUUUUCK...

GREAT video of an AWESOME race!

I made everyone in my office get up and watch that with me... even our little "drifter" kid had to agree that that was the SHIT!

 

Tried it again and it worked.

Kick ass.
