Post up your Race Car!

I built this for a British TVR multi purpose race car. Coyote powered Richmond 6 speed.

The Super Stocker is one of many I drove for Jim DeFrank / California Car Cover Company.

 

My Old Warhorse with a BBC .

 

And that's what real race cars look like! Altho there was one guy who drove a #24 that I wasn't too fond of back then...

 

My old Anglia -

my fox racecar. N/A 310 inch sbf backed by a g101a

 

and on a no prep/ backside track event.

 

Had a blast bracket racing and then nostalgia racing this 67 Chevelle for about 20 years, sold it as a roller about 4 years ago to buy late racing buddy's 56 Chevy gasser project from his wife

 

We upgraded this year so we can step up from 6.0 Advanced ET to NHRA TAFC along with the FunnyCar Chaos events, we needed carbon fiber brakes and other things so a 'new' car was purchased (its 4-5 years old, but has the newest chassis design and features), we're stripping it down to bare frame and swapping our running gear into it:

We've got a lot to do, our 1st event is July4th up in New York.

 

A little update, it was decided to strip the frame of everything, check it for cracks etc and then build it back up, so here it is right now, all upside down and everything:

 

Here's my 1960 Sprint Car. The restoration was completed in 2017, but before I painted it, I put it on the track. It's 98% original and a strong runner...still lifts the left front wheel coming out of Turn-4 !!! Now its a trailer queen having won many 1st Place awards including The Peoples Choice Award at the La Jolla Concours D'Elelgance Motor Car Classic. The car now resides, on long term loan, at the LionsAutomobilia Foundation Museum. Also pictured is my Resto-Mod 1962 Belair Wagon I'm building as a tow car.

 

Not mine but I sure do dig it, was for sale at $20k a couple years back

 

Here's our new engine:

The plan is to fix our Veney engine to get the car sorted out & reliable, then we'll go with the Noonan. Probably next July or August

 

My Race Mini. Raced on nearly every track in England, 1993-94. And once on three Belgium Grand Prix Circuit. Autocrossed 1986-90 while stationed in Illinois. Autocross 1995, 96 and 97 at East Coast Mini Meets. Overall fastest in 95 and 96. Second overall fastest in 97. Put plates on it and drove some on the streets 2000-01. Been sitting in back of garage since then.

 

Was that the Mini meet in Dayton Ohio, in 1996? That was my first ever autocross, and was I lost! All I saw was a sea of cones… If it was a wet paper bag, and I was in it, I would still be in it! Not at all the same as a defined track, either road or oval…

 

Had a lot of fun with my home built 55 when I was younger.

 

Yes, it was at Dayton in 1996. Almost got beat by a fellow racer from England. He was here doing an article for the Mini World Magazine. I let him drive my Mini and if he hadn't clipped a cone on his last run that cost him 2 seconds, he would have beat my time. Richard had never autocrossed, never driven my car and his claim to fame was finishing last in the last race of the season. I offered him the FTD Trophy, but he told me that was alright.
