Favorite Gasser?

I know it was an altered by the rules. I was going by our acceptance of g***ers as being a style of car more than what it uses as a fuel. The car certainly fits the style of car that we call a g***er.

Funny but the mustang that I posted does not even resemble a "g***er" as most consider when they think of one, but it was a genuine g***er, and a winning one at that.

It was easy to cl*** up but next to impossible to cl*** down. For example High n Mighty was an Altered and Altered was considered a professional cl*** at the time where gas cl*** at the time was a street legal cl***.

There is a down side to doing so, you can out cl*** yourself. I may roll into the local track and enter altered in my gas coupe thinking I can bring home the trophy and then have someone roll in with an altered and hand me my hat.

I have watched it happen time and time again at vintage races. Guys running 15 and 16 second p***es running in gas coupe/sedan.They are trying to run with fellas running 10s and low 11s. They for all intents and purposes should be running in stock cl***.

Well now we are way off topic.

Sorry fellas I just had a question and then went off on a tangent.

I know this was an altered but Gene's VW, (can I say that here? LOL) was the ****.

 

**** is right!

PLEEEEZE kill me now.

 

Chevy II's!

 

Theres alot of really cool g***ers out there but this one KICK ***!!!!

 

Plus most of the guys spend a lot of time goofing off and showboating with big burnouts and stuff now so engine temp is a factor. Changing weather conditions will make you work for your p***es on gas. I think Gas cl*** cars should be on gas. JMO. Just like the new Jr. fuel should be on nitro, not fingernail polish remover.

 

John
Is that a Hillman?

 

Its a Anglia if i aint totally blind.
Had that pic for a couple of years,always thought it was a bad *** car.
Dont know why but it just looks so cool and the wheels are just ****.

 

I actually never would have considered that gas cl*** was anything but gas for a fuel. It was actually new informaton to me.

Well the thread is not about rules it is about what kind of car you like best or what car you like best, I think.

 

Hey PB, You know we always de-rail threads around here it's our job!! Lippy (traditional g***er) in Ks. And my favorite g***er was Mazmanians candy red chopped austin.

 

I am appalled that there are not more Henry J lovers here. Ya know I don't think I know of a single famouse Henry J.

Mazmanians foot ball was as slick a car as he ever owned. Somewhere I have seen a video of it making a p***.

 

Yeah, that is kinda weird I can't think of one either. Was always a ton of them running back in the day though. Most were SBC powered can't remember a blown hemi one. I'm sure there was but... One of my favorite Henry-J's was Oh, Henry, and Henrietta. Lunch over gotta run, have a great day. Lippy (You know nitro on corn flakes is really good!) Keeps the bugs off ya too.

 

Actually the one I was thinking about originally ran an injected olds. Well it wasn't really a J it was an alstate.

yea I have blow the day completely away. off on an adventure myself.

 

zakias 55

 

Man I am glad no one posted falfas 55.

That is a nice lookin' five five there. What did it run? do ya know?

 

Here ya go..............

 

That is a sweet car
What year was the pic taken?

 

Boy that's a nice 55. Was it running alky? Lippy

 

NOT a G***er

 

You know, I remember a lot of Henry J's running locally, but I don't think there were ANY National Level record holder type henry J's that I can think of.
And of course the "football" was an Austin

Not a Legal G***er from what I can see - way over the 10% engine setback rule.

 

Oh, I'll throw one in too.....

 

Mine

 

Actually The Weekender was a record holder I think set it in '72. I didn't even think of it until you mentioned Nat'l record holders. I don't believe I have a pic of it that I can lay my hands on easily.

Maybe someone has a pic.

But that is the only one that I can rally think of.

Hell it aint even got an engine look how high the front sets up.

Thanks



My brain just said hillman when I looked at it. So I figured I better ask.

Now if it was an alky burner it would have big gold leafed letters saying "Golden Mu****el" on the doors. Well duh.

 

there we go - they ran an Anglia also.

 

car ran mid 12s with an injected 265

 

i think 64

 

Could be a little newer. Here it is in 2005. Dave McCauley (he's a member here) found it and "sorta" headed it back toward original, but I think the original color was red.

 

Another one of our favorite cars that we see run at Thompson..... let me re-phrase that..... one of our favorite cars we see RUN HARD & FAST at Thompson.

Looking forward to September. Always a great show with great cars

 

I dont think the motor is mounted in that pic.
