Hot Rods Big Daddy's 55 2 door wagon gasser

Might be a rule specific to the Worldwide Outlaw Gasser association.

 

Well it's legal now. Plates and insurance, passed the Kentucky safety inspection with a couple of properly placed lies lol.... well yeah those windshield wipers work! And yeah the horn works it's good to have friends in low places. But yeah I have all of the lights, signals included Steve sitting here waiting to see if the rain stops, I wanna drive it to the Friday night cruise in town. Not bad enough that I'll sit in the rain though.

 

Rain-X the windshield. It’ll be fine. I wish mine was at that point. I picked up a cage kit from Rhodes race cars. They have kits from 4 to 10 points depending on what you need to be track legal. I couldn’t justify buying benders and trying to figure out exactly how to build one. I am planning to replace the glass in my rear and side windows as tinted glasss will help hide the cage. Pivoting side bars is a requirement to make sure that I can still get in. With the rumble your car has, you need to stay safe.

 

I can't believe you asked about rules. Just show up and see what they say.
Have a seat belt and helmet for sure.
Test and tune nights is another way to find out.

 

Looks like the rain stopped!
Glad you're all legal eagle, mostly..

 

Get one of those "Horn broke, watch for finger" stickers for it.

 

A big event they would be more strict. Small events not so much.

 

Hey! You made it! The wagon looks great, I’m ready for a ride Tuesday! Say Hi to Dave for us!

 

Gotta drop the timing back lmao! 14⁰ ain't cutting it on pump gas! And i have a noise in one of the rear brakes when it rolls backward. If i don't get it fixed Monday, we may be doing some last minute thrashing on Tuesday

 

Drove it home

 

Betcha that pretty pink car was skeerd

 

When are you coming into Bowling Green? We are coming in on Wednesday

 

Damn pro-mods !

 

Be there Wednesday afternoon. Should be there around 2 or 3 I'd say.

 

If we have to thrash, we thrash. We will get it fixed!

 

we should be there about the same time but we have to set up tents.

 

Same hotel man, let me know where Ethan is buying supper

That’s the best way to get to work I know of! Ruckus sounds fantastic!!! See you guys very soon.

 

I'll be leaving for the West Coast on Wednesday, but will be with you all in spirit!

God Bless

I just got a response to my email question,

According to Craig Boone London Speedway Representative .......

8.25 & slower, regular seat belts are fine. So if we run quicker than that in time trails, the block of wood will be used under the loud pedal to run in the actual race!

I have already bought my 5 point harness, so if I get time I will install it before I go.

God Bless

That is about a 12.87 in the quarter. I’d put the harness in. Strong small blocks should be in the 12s without any problems.

 

Well, while the rest of you guys, with your fancy, trapped in the garage, $100,000, non drivable, investments, sit at home on the computer and tell everybody else how it is, this old piece of junk is back on the road, and headed to Bowling Green Kentucky tmrw for the weekend!! Enjoy that boat anchor ya got there, keep spending money on it

 

Oops, forgot one

 

Glad you have it going, but you must be talking to someone else. All my cars are junk and just worn out or broke at the moment. Thanks for the motivation though. I was just thinking this morning that I need to get something fun fixed so I can enjoy it. Even my Harley is torn apart right now…

 

It's tackling fuel, for the guys here that never drive their car. Scared to drive it, "what if it breaks? "I've only got $10k in my crate engine! I don't know if it's dependable enough to drive!" Lol... you know those guys Jeff. But I'm pretty excited, dragging this beast out of its grave, and giving it another trip down the highway. Wish I could go get the old fella i bought it from and take him with me. But he doesn't bath lmao

 

Yea, I know who you are talking to. That's the same reason that we host reliability runs so folks can get these old cars out and drive them. I do appreciate your motivation and watching how quickly you can get something on the road. Have a blast in Bowling Green!

 

I call it "shaming" lmao! I gave big Andy enough shit, he couldn't listen to it anymore lol... he's hauling his truck to my house today, and we're driving down tmrw. That guy has completely revamped his old truck, motor, transmission, suspension, wheels & tires, etc... since last June.

 

I'm gonna lay this picture that Mr Jones gave me from 1974 on the dash
