Race Car's only picture thread

"Alley Oop" the Lyndwood rail bought by The Danbury Modifiers in 1959 and raced until 1962. House car at Dover Drag Strip, won 5 Low ET's in a row, held B/D Record in NHRA at one time. Restoration to be finished for display at Hershey this fall.

 

Wow, these cars take me back to my youth in the 60's when I used to watch cars like this run at Dorsey Speedway !!

 

My 62 Chevy 2.
Was all steel except hood with the stock clip with the shock towers cut out running a carburated 427 chevy big block,turbo 400 and a dana 60 rear. Ran 10.80's@124 ten years ago.
Slowley redoing with new clip with rack,motor plates,tubular a-arms etc.fiberglass front some lexan.
Same 427 BBC with heads ported,different cam and Crower stack injection on alcohol.
Hope to have it back out late this summer.

Same car?

 

Name non-withstanding, they are similar....so it is possible. However, there are some differences that I can see...The steering is exposed on Shirly's car and she has a 4 bar front end.....I don't think that mine ever had either. thanks!

 

Here is the first roadster we (B&R Speed Supply) built in 1964. It had a 427 c.i. 409, tube chassis, glass body. See we did have glass bodies back in the "day". We ran at Pittsburgh International Dragway (PID) and Keystone Raceway. The 409 didn't last too long.

 

my dad's 1974 ford/mercury Capri at eagles canyon TX

 

Im so curious what they did for suspension in these cars? Have any pics or setup tips on them?

Great photos... anyone else?

BTT...

 

Rozzi, How fast?

 

here is my pile of parts. I started out in 93 with a harwood body, a pile of tubing, a limited budget, free run of a junk yard and ended up with this.
My first pass in it was at at Houston Raceway park in 1995. Ran a 10.70 @ 127 with a stock 396. Second engine was a mild 468 that ran 9.80s @ 135. Current engine is a stout but not killer 489 with a best of 9.60 @ 140.
Future plans call for replacing the single 4 and hood scoop with a tunnel ram with 2 4s, removing the rear spoiler and wheels that at least look mid to late 60s.

 

My Junk, again.

 

I'm actively seeking an older GM body to use a street strip car but for now here are pics of my two former OT race cars, I sold both in 2008:

10.9@123 NA, 10.00@133 150 shot:


9.40@143 1.35 on DR's was turbocharged:

 

Ive always dug your avatar. Cool that you built it from scratch. I bet its a killer bracket car. Got any pictures of the build.

 

my father in law and i are doing one of these for him.....he finally stepped up and dropped a bunch of change for some stange goodies... if it doesn't pass for crate motor stock....he can always run it in a stock suspension class...

 

Mine ..

 

Nice Plymouth, any engine pics? Which motor?

 

500" ..
so far has gone 10.07 @ 134 ,I have some adjustments to make ..
cold weather will be gone soon, make some more runs

 

Here ia a couple of pics of my race rides.
1. 1967 Mercury Cougar 393 SBF stroker, powerglide trans and nitrous on methanol. Runs low 9's last year. Looking for 8's this year
2. 1923 "T" Altered. 466 BBF with a glide runs low 10's 9:1 compression pump gas motor pretty much stock 73 Lincoln motor. Just a fun car.

Here is also a video of the Cougar in action.

Here is a couple pics of our cars...
we race Limited Late Models here in the NW
the #52 2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo is driven by Gene Lynch
this car is a genuine "left hander" chassis and the #51 2004 Monte Carlo is driven by yours truely, is a hybrid originating from a 84 Camaro Limited Sportsman car.
We are planning to compete as regulars in the Douglas County ASA program in 2009

 

Thanks for the kind words. It was a good bracket car at one time. Hopefully after my youngest graduates high school in May I will get to run the car enough to find out if the new combination is consistant. First I will need to learn how to react to the tree consistantly again. That is hard to do when you only get to drive the car once every three months. I have some build pics somewhere, I will have to dig them up.

 

Our best time up there this year was 126.2.

 

Where are you Southern California guys buying your racing fuel from?
