Rod & Kulture puts on a nostalgia drag event

Just so I'm clear, a 3 point cage can be run, but only if slower then 9.99, right? What will the top fuel class look like? I'm wondering if their are any front engine fuelers that look the part, but are legal (besides Mr. Tim Conder's). I obviously don't want to see anyone get hurt, but most of the front engine fuelers I see these days look like a rear engine fueler with the engine swapped around. Sounds like a great event, I'm just curious as to what you guys are expecting in that class. In funny car it's easy to hide the moderness, but with a slingshot it's all in the open. It's a long treck for me to be there, so I want to know what's gonna be running before I make my decision. Thanks

 

Zombie, you are doing the right thing the right way. Best wishes.

 

You know we'll both be there man. But ill be the one a-gunnin for YOU! haha

 

Any updates.........will HAMB Dragsters (ha/gr) be allowed to run?

 

we have not been contacted by anybody with a HAMB dragster. i did ad a 6cy/flathead open wheel class to cover the basics. we are getting a big responce from the nostalgia drag bike classes though, so i added a few more. i still have to ad the payouts on the site, but they are:

1st $1250
2nd $500
3rd $250

for all classes except fuel altered and top fuel.

 

So are the rollbar rules still going to be a little relaxed? My car don't fit the event, I'm not complaining, I dig the idea and can't wait!

 

yes. we made a few insurance adjustments to allow the 3 point cage for 10 seconds and slower. nostalgia drags and plenty of beer booths should be a good time no matter what.

 

I hope everyone has marked there calander and plans on attending, make this event a success and do it again next year!

 

Thanks for your hard work on this Zombie. Like anything new, it will have "teething" problems.
Just run all those abcd gas guys for a couple hours, (around noon) give every one a chance to leave the stands to look around, drink beer, buy stuff, eat, drink beer, visit, drink beer.
Don't know the tire regulations, but put those 10" Radir slicks on the aa/fuel rails. They will "haze" em the whole 1/4 and still be in the 9's.
I'm stoked, I'll be there, OLY

My birthday is May 7.............goin down the strip in my 53' Vicky will make this the best ever!!!!!!!Zombie, you will the be the hero of the whole central valley!!!!!I can't wait.......this event will be huge in no time! !!!!!!!!!

 

thanks for all of the support guys. i think its gonna be a real good time. what started off as a small traditional drag race has snowballed into a much larger event. with only 2 months left, im starting to sweat bullets. ha ha

 

...If only R&K had an expense account...then maybe I could go...

Spike

 

the r&k buick drained the expense account. thank god that thing is done. ha ha, maybe pops will make a few passes in it at dragfest?

 

Ahhh, maybe you do have a car that can beat me! A wagon grudge match! i could see it now!

 

i'll tell you what, the ol' nailhead with the tri power flat scoots. it sounds pretty good too.

 

cant wait. gonna see what the ranchero can do, hope your mopar is ready!

 

Do you have a tentative schedule? What time would a guy have to land at LAX to rent a car and make it to the track in time for the racing to start?

Just a thought at this point, but it is the weekend after my birthday.

 

man

this sounds toooo cool

Im thinking coast to coast run

anyone up for it

 

i think racing starts at 8:00 am saturday morning.

 

Wow 30 A/FXrs already!! Are You working with American Nostalgia west ?
I didnt notice any Nostalgia Super Stock? Will the A/FX class include S/S ?
Sounds Very Cool. FEDER

 

yes. american nostalgia west is the organization we have been talking to. the s/s stuff will be included in the afx class, unless we can get enough to start a seperate class.

 

WOW $1250 to win!

 

Just marked it on my calender...

 

zombie, hope you dont mind me hijack'n your thread but I'm gonna post some of the progress of my HA/GR dragster build here and try to keep the thread close to the 1st page. I really dig the dragfest idea and It's motivated me to bring somethin' to the meet.

 

My latest piece for the HA/GR

 

I'm going to try to make it.

Hahaha. Man, I wish I could make the treck. It's not in the cards for me this year, but this event sounds like a really great time. R&K should do a special issue soley on this event with tons of full page pics.
