Event Coverage The Official 2014 Meltdown Drags #5 thread, vintage drag meet, July 18,19&20 Byron IL

Decal nuth'n, I'm bringing embroidered tighty whitys, so you boys can use em for arm slings after the Koopenhagen Shiftercizing backfires resulting in dislocated shoulders, torn rotators, fractured clavicles, or just plain ole Chris Farley style punching yourselves out for gett'n bitch slapped so hard in your own backyard!

 

I love this thread! You guys crack me up!

 

Will you be racing for the
North, or South? I need to know whether you get smack sauce, or encouragement.

 

Say North,say North,say NORTH...!!!!!!Lmao!

Ummmm......how do I break this gently...?

His profile says....wait for it......

O-fuckin'-HIO Ric...!!!!

That big ol stroked 427 is gonna give some Southern boys the automotive equivalent of......well.Im just gonna come right out and say it.That frickin car is going to prison rape just about anything that crosses its path that isn't a dedicated racecar.
Coincidentally,racecar spelled backward is racecar.

So do all the locals glow in the dark.
I am going to have to put a super tune on my junk so I can get in the fight.

 

That Fairlane is BEAUTIFUL......alot of neat photo ops.......that thing wil look great in a B&W pic....against a straight alxle Nova, Falcon or AWB mopar....awesome!!!

 

Lets just say the closer you live to it.....the more affected you are....

 

I should fit in I can see the steam from the one just east of me.
Soon as I get my flux capacitor recharged I will be ready.

 

If he says North, we're bringing my bro-n-laws NHRA legal B/S 427/Jerico Fairlane, runs high 9.80's @135, 3570 lbs, all steel, all glass winfows, full interior, original 735 vaccum Holley, factory 2 plain, unported heads, .520 lift solid cam. Or
..,we could bring his 427/Jerico Fairlane wagon, same recipe @3770 lbs @ 10.teens @ 130+
For the ultimate " F ormal E ducation, we could put his legal 390 combo in either car, 10.70's in the hardtop @ 125/10.90's in the wagon @ 122. This is the 390 that has 600 vaccum Holley, GT aluminum 2 plain, unported 390 heads, flat top pistons, .460 lift hyd
cam. Careful Scott, don't grab the Fairlane by the tail. If you want check it out, go to Youtube, and search " Chris Whitney 427 Fairlane/wagon.

 

I am in Eric, I have a couple tenths on him but he knocks the tree down with a good light it could be close??

Jon

 

That would make a nice photo !

 

Hey now, I used an entire bottle of Gorilla Glue on that trans! Then I wrapped it two-ply with duct tape just to make sure it stays together!


You might want to take a look underneath and then make some notes to help you keep your stuff together...

Careful Ric,
I'm working on getting Dave Kunz out there with the Arnie "the Farmer" Beswick Cammer powered 65 Comet A/FX car....
So far he has some other commitments, but we'll see what his schedule shapes up like.

Your Brother in law is a true badass,by the way.Fucker.Lol!

It should be mid 11s for the meltdown. Last year 12.20

 

That's great man!

A snotty 406 and a 4-speed probably throws that little Lark around like a rag doll!

Can't wait to see it in action!

Haha no I'm still learning the ropes of everything. I'm 26 and just started racing last year a few times when it wasn't broke. Ran a 12.20 with leaving at 3000 and shifting easy and only went through the end at 5500. Then launched at 5500 and blew up the rearend. Ordering all strange stuff this month and going to a 5.14 gear instead of a 4.56 to get a higher rpm at the end.

 

I have said it before, usually when referring to my rusty coronet, that "air weighs less than metal"

Natures hole saw???

 

You got it Brother!

I just hope none of the parts she removed were important......Baahahaa!

Can't wait for the weather to break up here so I can actually get into my storage area and work on the car without getting frostbite or hypothermia.
