Texas Thaw - Torque Club - Drag race

Give myself or Mr Bill a heads up, we are both chompin at he bit to burn some rubber.
Anything i can help with? Let me know.
Hrat
I love the smell of alcohol in the morning

 

Hey Rick,

Heading to Andy's Monday to get some work done on the Thames. If I have anything to do with it, he will be running it down the track at the THAW. I am hoping to get the blower motor in the truck this next week. I have the blower turned down and will need to see what kind of boost I'm making. I will probably run race fuel for the time being. Looking for a new top hat so I can turn it up with some alcohol.

I'm ready to get to the track for a little test n tune.

 

Got all my junk tore apart.
Putting a 5 speed in the 34 and broke the ring and pinion in the Nova.

 

^^^OUCH^^^ You must have been trying real hard.

 

Gonna bring out the Olds....lookin forward to meetin y'all!

drop by the gold j pit and say hi, lookin forward to it

 

Had to even the odds Doc. Not to mention that Bill keeps raising the bar. Maybe we can get him to the line in the Sunday driver alky grocery getter that he's driving to the track.lol

 

No wonder with those 4 footer wheel stands .Those wernt Pro Gears were they ???

 

Yep, broke it the weekend after the CSGA race at Noble.
Went to Kennendale and ran a 6.57@103.37 first p*** and broke it on the next one.
the fastest the car had ever run before that was a 6.65@102.11.

Thanks for the offer Doc.
Made a list of parts to order today.

 

No. but their on the list this time. 50 p***es is all these lasted.

 

Speed Kills - Parts that is and lots of them...Tim , you had that car rolling pretty good, Wow a 6.57....

 

I saw that Nova at the Yellow Belly deal last year and it is pretty damn fast for the way it looks IMO .It certainly doesnt look like it would be in the mid 6's .I know a local guy with a Blue 64 1/2 Mustang that runs an all out nasty 347 roller motor .He is in the mid 6's as well all motor .Im pretty sure he will be there racing since its 72 and older this time.My Dodge ****s *** compared to what you guys are doing ET wise ...

 

Rails like this will be there this year !

 

Hey Dennis will there be a new and improved burn barrel this year?

 

Hey SHOCKER
That dodge will never "**** ***" I hope that my Thames is as fast.

 

Thanks for the compliment on the Dodge .Other than fluid changes its the same as it was last time i ran it at the DOTD in October.Its even got the same fuel in the tank ,lol. Its been kinda put on the back burner (other than starting it once a week) since i got my 50 pickup.Im sure the Thames will be impressive to see go down the track and im looking forward to seeing everyone again ...

 

"Real Racars Don't Have Radiators" quote HRB 2011.

It's easy to confuse Doc.....At Yello Belly last year, I was initiated into the "trick"......Just "shoot him the bird" at the starting line....seems to work every time.....hahaha

Planning on bringing the Flathead FED to play with....(with parts from ol Collin's Flathead stash in it....so he'll be "sorta there")
