HA/GR Dragsters to run at Tulsa July 1st

Sounds like this is goint to be too good to miss! We'll be there gettinideas for the flathead dragster but will most likely spectate & just drive the muscle car out to be seen.

 

Muscle car.....MUSCLE CAR!!!!!!!!! thems fightin words here boy. You just make sure that its ready for Woodward, Looks like its coming alone nicely.
Now you just have to figure out how to get that flathead digger legal enough to drive on Woodward next year
Oh, and say hi to the Mrs. for me.

 

Hey Mark! Dont get the Ram Rods Drunk before we run the car. Dont let Larry have any of that 6 point untill some where after 6ish.

 

Ted...bought the "real beer"...genuine Bud lite...in Texas.......after I got your call.....will try and hold em off till noon at least.....The Road Rockets eh?......got any decals?......will trade......hang one on our ole red Ford......I know, it's slow...but puts on a good show...will bring the wheelie bars...set it on soft and see if the track will hold it enough to drag the bumper once......beer is on me.

M.

 

I just couldn't wait. Had to post a pic. I'm not sure if the nose will stay or not. I built it Sunday. I just wanted to see if I could do it. It didn't turn out too bad, but I'm just not sure if it;s right for this car.

 

Here's another shoot. We decided this little trailer won't do the job for the trip to Tulsa. Better take the Top Fuel unit.

 

...oh Ted...

 

Neat.

 

Can't wait to see that thing! I think I have 8 or so miles to the track by taking the back way. I hope I make it...

 

Ill be there can I run this in hambster cl***??

 

Randy, I think the nose looks cool, plus it should slow you down by two tenths.

 

I am really pumped about the race. Can't wait to drive it. Thanks for the kind word about my nosejob.

 

Schramm Racing will be there for the open fuel cl***. Troy Green will be in the seat.

 

Yea, Troy. Count down has started.

 

DAmn,

That was fun...

 

Amen! I feel like a well done steak!

 

OK, so how was it?? anyone got pics or times?

 

Hey guys, just got home from T-town and checking out the site. The races were a ball today, weather was great, if a bit warmish, the Rossauto Willys did OK, and the HAMBsters were fabulous!! Can't wait until 8/26!!!

 

man what a showing the hambsters had, You have to see these guys to beleive em. the flatheads, the six chev's the crooked six mopar, too much damn fun and i axtually saw 3wlarry workin on the carbs himself???? met rand man, nailhead mike, kinda like home week withso many hambers there.
side note ole g***er driver fred in the 37 coupe wild one went a best of 11.17 go man go............hell of a ride in an old *** g***er .........was warm but doable, my **** didnt run so ill pull eng and trans and sell it as a roller, any takers? see ya in aug at mokan.........

 

Winnner of the elimination rounds and low ET, Hornets (12.94) Speed Merchants set HA/GR world speed record of 106 MPH.

 

...well I'll be go ta hell, Sam...that was YOU off my 4 o'clock watchin' me rejet those Strombergs! I was so engrossed in what I was doin', that, I remember talkin' to you, but I couldn't tell you what we were talkin' about and I had no clue I was talkin' to you! Why didn't you SAY sumthin'? I wanted to see your Chevy II...The Dirty's (Danny and Danielle) came up for the day and stopped by to say hi, and wouldn't you know it, I had to tow the car to the startin' line...I lost track of them too...

 

...these guys were kickin' some major *** untill a head gasket went away...still, they won $50 off me for fastest speed... they will be serious contenders at MoKan...Ramrods made it to the semi-finals, and lost to the Hornets due to a faulty ignition...

 

What a day at the strip it was! It was great to finally meet the guys from all the teams that I have been conversing with on here. Best bunch of guys I have meet in a long time. Thanks for all the kind words of encouragement...I look forward to the day when Rodan will be able to join the line of HA/GRs.

 

Danyelle and me got home around 12 this morning. What a blast. I still cant get over that model a coupe running 173. Picts to follow !!!! And Dragrcr50 U need to build another 55....

 

will i am building a 55 with a blown sbc but it aint mine, remember i have the oh so cool vicky coming together nicely and after the run with the chevy twice i think i might be at mokan with the vicky, yep its possible......and you gonna like this deal rusty, i guarantee ........

 

Midnight?

How long did you guys stay?

Did anyone bust 200?

I bet she slept the whole way home!

 

In hindsight, I should have gone to Tulsa this weekend instead of being loyal to my local track. I"m still full of HA/GR envy, but can't seem to get off my rump and do something about it.

 

Here's the Ramrods getting the jump on the crooked 6.

 

The HA/GR's were a kick in the *** to see gettin' it on.
Unfortunately,as a ride share hostage,I had to leave early and didn't get to see the end of the deal.
Maybe Mr.Mac or someone could post the elimination rounds #'s and or the final results.
I do think it would be safe to say that a good time was had by all the teams.
The buzz around the Hornets is more carbs are in the works.
The Ram Rods are sneaking up on their tune up."By God"
The Crooked 6 sounds *****in' with all those long tubes hangin' off the motor and with a bit more practical experience and some seat time,will absolutely be a contender real soon.
To me,the Speed Merchants were definitely the story of the day though.With a little more tinkering I think that new motor is really gonna haul ***.
Oh and what's all this about CH3N2O,Tolulene,Hydrazine,Etc.?
