Hot Rods How many guys drive street brawlers?

Hhmmm , I will Bite !!
On a Bier Street , neither car down the Lanes , 1/8 mile , 1 burn out .
State wide lanes with lines.
Also some where you posted you would
drag your trailer ,, But I would not expect you to,
Willing to set beside Samlyam F-Rod,
I brought this up when he said F-Rod was the fastest Model A on street ,
(Posted on a thread here)
but its a Drag car & asked if Fryberger knew it was being advertised

P.S.also a supporter

 

I street raced in the early 70s and somtimes to this day . The 61 in my profile pic dynoed at 517 hp didnt really race it much but my 65 had a 460/535 hp crate motor. The wife and I (remember were were in our early 60s at the time) just left an ice cream place and a 72 "Heavy Chevy" Chevelle with a couple of 20 something guys in it pulled up next to us. My wife looked at me, I smiled and told her "hold my cone" and schooled the youngsters. Can you imagine having to live with being beat by grandma and grandpa...eating ice cream. Currently cruising in a 600 + hp Ford F100 shortbox.

 

Theoretically, mine's a cammer...

Worken on this one.
7/8 scale 56 Chevy !?! All Chrysler running gear, built about 20 years ago. I'm updating all of the nuts and bolts right now so I feel better about going fast.
An older time slip has it running 10.75 sec., in Northern Cal. Hoping to get it into the 9.99 sec bracket and still be streetable.
This picture is in front of the NHRA Museum, a few weeks back.

Opel?

 

Looks to be a Vauxhall Victor

 

Correct.
Not sure if it's a 58 or 59 !
By the pink slip, it's a 1959, but by the "experts", within the internet, it's a 58. The pink says 59, so...it's a...59 Vauxhall, Victor.

A 493 inch, Chrysler wedge, a 727, manual trans., and an 8-3/4" rear axle.
With the way that the car is built, I'm guessing, it's no more than about 2200lbs. There's not...much steel left in the car !

P.S. - The side windows are Lexan.

 

Big block Ford Falcon runs fine on 93 octane.

Cool video, looks nice, I like it however I don't see any real violence when rowing gears.

 

Haha, those transmission parts are expensive!

 

This one ruled the streets in the 60s-70s... Only makes 520HP. Today if I wanted to play I would need at least 900-1000HP Times are a changing.
