It was hot!!! How ever when the clouds rolled in for awhile it was much better. My first time there...not my last

 

Neat pics ,sorry i missed out this year .It looked like it was even a bigger turn out than last year ...

 

Yup. Had a FED in the 70s with the same clamps holding a 454 Chevy. Also saw them on TF rails in the 60s

 

Root this was my favorite car. It was ALL CORRECT. It ran at least twice, and they push started the car.

They took it to mid track, turn around, fire up on the way back, then whip around and run. No burn out, big revs on the launch, small wheelie at the hit, then the car would break loose and smoke the tires and slide around a bit. PERFECT!

E.T.s were in the 14's at about 100, but that is not what is important. This is what they looked like in the day boys and girls. This is what I want to see from a traditional race.

 

Great pics! You have done your job well gr***hopper!

 

Great pics!!!! Lots of great looking era correct cars! I love the old g***ers! The orange 40 Willy's coupe is my fathers car! Nice shots!!!! Thank You!!!!!

 

Awesome pics Dan....,any dangerous stuff from the Bierman crew everyone can flame about? lol

 

Yes... Some pretty insane wheelies that I never seemed to have my camera out for
He definitely put on a show

 

Great pics, and I was even there! The '63 Z-11 ran 12.20's with a bog on the low end. It's a solid high 11 second ride.

 

Great pictures!Need to see more.Thanks.

 

I love that car.....I was just thinking it would look good lined up with the Fly. Is he local? Any idea who he is/where he's from etc?

 

Great Pics...Thanks for posting....

S****s

 

Another must see event... wow! Some boss lookin cars there.. thanks for the pix..

I must figure out a way go this right after speed week.. I do not know if the wifey will buy into it though..

 

Great pix...........

Roothawg,

Thats "The Lump" an Exact Recreation of a race car that was raced out of here in Cincinnati. Tyler Hilton, son of Bobby Hilton of the Hilton racing family owns it, He is young.. in college. His dad, Bobby and Mike Whitney of "Richcraft Garage" (32' roadster push car)took it this weekend. Its a killer car. VERY CORRECT!

Not built for shaving tenths off the E.T's!! Built for fun and excitment.


The members of the Hilton Family have some nice race cars.. a lot of original old stuff. They all watch this board pretty good. They'll see your complements and I'm sure appreciate them.

Thanks.

This is for the old "holier that thou" Hamber's that just can get it up anymore.

It's nice to see that Mokan hasn't changed one bit since I was last there in 1965!!!

 

great pics thanks for posting them..some day i'll make it up there..

 

Awesome coverage! Thanks for posting.

 

Enjenjo Reply to the hose clamps holding the engine .We ran those 5 years on the front of a blown sbc very safe alowed ch***is to flex more than a rigid mount will . You just snug them down around tube instead of cranking them down tight. The ch***is torques inside them but the motor stays in same place

 

That car is a lot nicer than the Fly! I would be a little embar***ed to line up next to that.

 

anybody have info on these were they for sale or is someone making them???
perhaps a number#

 

Glad you guys had a ball, wish I could have been there.
Thanks for the pics, gave me a bit of a taste of the event.
