Event Coverage Drag Week 2022

Good to hear, look forward to hearing your results and stories. I appreciate the irony of you leaning on the fender. Now get a picture parked under a no parking sign while leaning on the fender.

 

tony made a decent test pass today, looks like there's only one other car in his class, and it's a bunch slower.

I heard 320 cars here.

We'll see what happens in the morning

didn't get enough pictures during registration, but I got to spend most of the talking with people about cars, etc.

A few hambers in this picture

 

I think Tricky Steve and Cheryl are in the Hot rod class, and Kevin Jackson in the coop as well.

 

Yup.

I ran good

 

Wow, so the freshen up really picked it up . Or is my memory off ?

 

Back to where it should be

 

Like a bracket car.

 

Borrowed these from Hot Rod's website...

 

Nice run @squirrel , I was watching live YouTube.

 

Go Squirrel, Go!

Cheers,
Harv

 

It was a nice pass

 

I saw Mike Finnegan blew up the hemi in his 55 chevy. Last I heard he was trying to swap the engine out of the hemi gremmie into the 55

 

yeah, that's the scoop. Haven' heard yet this morning how things are going.

It's still dark here in Indy, getting ready to head to the track soon. Got to talk to Steve and Cheryl yesterday for a while, that was fun

 

Mike gave up on the engine swap. The Ranchero in my class is also out. I had a starting issue, but got it kind of fixed I need to find a new neutral safety switch, my brother is trying to locate one in Rockford.

Tony had transmission troubles, he's still ahead of Cheryl in hot rod class. Had a long day yesterday.

I ran slower today.

Got to see a few more hamb guys l in the pits. It's fun

 

Track conditions as much as car?

i'm doing ok...I guess Tony is having more trouble, Joel posted about it. Wish I could help, I don't know where to find parts around here.

my brother found the switch I need, Grainger has it, I'll drive up to Rockford in the morning and pick it up.

 

Or class run first today. I'm at the front of lanes. Will run in a few minutes I think

 

If you need auto parts NAPA store is in Oregon Il. Were you turned right to cross river to cruise night, Turn left and next stop light is NAPA

 

Thanks, I saw it. They don't have what I need.

First run bad burnout, second it hesitated, going to try again

 

Did Tony get fixed yet?

 

Sounds like it from Joel’s post.
