Pretty sure Jim is gonna soil his underoos, and the Okie Doker better be steering clear of Ole Agent Orange too!

 

I would say yes

 

I plan on attending the drags for my first time in 2017. Not racing, but I will bring one of my hotrods for the show.

Are there recommended hotels near by? If I missed the info buried in the thread, then I apologize.

Heard great things about this event for a while, looking forward to it.

 

You'll get hooked!

 

You won't be disappointed.

I sent ya a PM on hotels, and camping is available at the track for a small fee.

 

So I have about two days to work on my crap so out with the old so I can tear it down and put together the new silver bullet for the willys multiple things are happening here new motor better clutch roll cage and some frame stiffening so it doesn't twist so bad oh and I might even spring for a not broken door glass lol

 

Planning on making it this year, just as a spectator with some friends. Car no where near close enough to being done to bring, been working on my truck. Planning on camping at the track.
Any tips, suggestions or ?
Thanks

 

I plan to have the Henry J ready this year. It was supposed to be there last year, but i ran into some health issues that slowed me way down. THis year for sure!

 

Merry Christmas to me lol. My daughter and I managed to get a whole bunch of work done between last night and today we pulled the broken motor out and set the new power plant in it to build motor mounts and all the necessary brackets and such it's amazing how many little details need to be addressed just to change a fuel system and blower size anyhow I hope everyone has a great holiday

No I've been in the hilborn mood for many years it's just that now I have collected enough parts to actually make it happen

Uh oh.....Between James' extra large economy size 460" W motor,Norb's "I just freshened it up a little and changed the spark plugs",and Jackson's Hilborn 4-port injected,6-71 blown "mystery" motor (I think he's got something reeeeeally sneaky up his sleeve),life at the Meltdown just got a lot tougher for the rest of us.

I'm gonna do my best to give em all a run for their money though....

Can't wait for July!
