...

 

Found this website while checking out Drag Cars in Motion. Totally the look we are shooting for at Eagle field!

Just got confirmation that Stormy Bird's Roadster and Rick Ackerman's Coupe will run at the Hot Rod Gathering! Tire smokin', high gear, side by side p***es, anybody who knows Stormy KNOWS this will be a show.

 

Wish I was closer to Cali. I would love to be involved and see these guys run.

 

We would love to have ya KING!

 

Here is a quote from Ellen (Stormy's Back Up Girl) on another site!
"We are really looking forward to coming up there and trying to destroy a set of M&H's with an 1/8 smoker bonsai run. Et's and miles per hour don't count he who makes the most smoke wins. See ya
Ellen, StOrMy, and Rick"<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

 

Bttt

 

I wish I took more notice of the date... It is the weekend before the CHRR, and my plans are already set. Maybe next year, I will have to make it a two week trip to California. For those of you who have never witnessed the Stormy Bird, and the Strange Brew coupe show you are in for a real treat. Awesome SMOKE show!!!

 

I have a friend who says he can jump like this but I can't imagine doing it all day He may need a relief starter

 

With any luck we will do it again! Rocky

 

really lookin forward to this and thanks for all your work on this Rocky

 

Thank You Carl, I hope everyone enjoys themselves. My fellow Eagle Field Volunteers and myself are going to do our best to welcome everyone.

 

Awesome the Nomads are coming they are still an active club from the fifties with some original members....................I also talked to Squeek Bell yesterday at the Primer Nats and he wants to come also...should be cool what he wants to run.

 

Yeah, my Pop-in-Law is an original member and on our HAMBster crew. Maybe we can talk the Reedley guys into building a car too. They're an active group of guys.

 

I'm also going to p*** the word at our next (Trompers) club meeting. Don't know if any of the others'll make the trek but it can't hurt .......

 

Did someone say Stormy and Rick will be there?

You're in for a real treat!

I posted these in the Drag Cars in Motion thread but thought I'd throw them on here for Rocky.

My Pops-in-Law took them sometime in the early 60's but can't remember where. Any ideas? They are most likely in Central Cal, not too far from Eagle Field. He was mostly a Hardtop fan back then and probably wouldn't have travelled too far for drags. But that was then, this is now.

 

That looks like Fresno Dragways!

 

I think you are right on Rocky....Fresno Dragways.

 

Feed me some Jalapinos and when they start burning my hemeroids I will be jumping that way!!!!! yeeee ha!!!

 

The more I read and see, the more I look forward to this event. Can't wait!

 

I can picture Stormy and Rick SMOKING THE TIRES for an 1/8 of a mile

 

Great news Mark Olsen is going to run the Cancer Car.........hoo hoo!!!

 

Just found out about this from Altered Pilot, very cool and I will be there with camera in hand, since my drag car is still in pieces...

 

Cool Lancer see ya there.

 

Went out today and put the old airfield to a test! My car has ran as fast as 11.40 and I feel the surface will hold up. The first photo is a 1st gear launch with the second photo being a 2nd gear burnout. THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN!!!!!!


Please excuse the OT test car

 

I am SO stoked on this race.

it feels like the first ANRA race we did 6 years ago.

Rocky, You're my hero!!!

CAN'T WAIT to call the action.

for HAMBERS running the event, please send me an email at voxnooz@hotmail.com with a picture, your name and info on your car so i can really make it sound like i know what i'm talking about.
