Nice pics! I had e great time! I walked by that yellow '37 Ford 5 window about 10 times. That thing is amazing!
Wish we could have made it , will return in June, thanks for the pics. Looks like a good turnout of tri-fives.
I had a Hamb Sticker on my yellow 37 coupe. You guys should have stopped and said HI!!! Even caught my ugly mug behind the coupe. thanks for the compliment. I tried catching up with Don Moyer all day but he wouldn't get out of his Willys, Ha. Don, Running 11's man that thing was singing! Went to watch my friend John run his 65 Comet. Since he was able to run full bore with his new rearend. What a fun time!
That Comet is so cool! Reminds me of the Curillo Motors B/FX Comet driven by Joe Orlando from Lancaster,N.Y. back in the 60's. Was at Thompson with my 34' coupe and had a great time. Finally got that Olds mill into the 11's. Ran a 11.93 @ 111mph. My best ever. Woo Hoo!
Ha, didn't know that was you! I also didn't know you were friends with John...My buddy had a model a sedan there with 2 engines in it, and I didn't go look at that either! Was looking for that elusive 10 second p***...never got it on saturday, but the wind changed and ran nothing but 10's on sunday
heres acouple more.i love it when my son helps me back up!!!!!he thinks its soooooo cool to stand next to denny and gets to watch from the center of the track!!!!!!!there was a pretty good car count this year{over 100}thats the biggest car count they have ever had at the nationals.
Any of you guys comming north to milan dragway nostiliga race on the 25th? I would love to see that 55 blew by you shoebox so I can whip up on him again !! Come on out and get yer ****whippin. were ready for you. Johnny Rotten
i had an awsome time despite my friends bad lucks with his g***er... sorry im slow at adding pics i think i have somemore i just have to upload them
just going through some old posts and seen your comment.hope you had a good time at milan,i couldnt make it.just to let you know steve with the blew by you put another motor in his car.its a bigger sbc with a blower.i think his last run was an 9.20 at 130mph.he let off early.he was also leaving the line at an idle and just rolling into the gas till the 60ft.so im not sure if you can whip him anymore.
It was just a smart *** comment, racin bull stuff. If he is running those numbers, it ought to put a **** whippin on me for sure. I did put a new motor in this year....100 ci more, still natural asperated. Cant wait to line up with you guys..... John
looks like we all have alot of work ahead of us this spring.i thinkk don is going to put some alum.indy heads on his car.the guy that orig.built his motor{jim smith,SMITTY}is building a stroker 360 with some off the wall **** in it.amc 401 crank chevy rods and pistons,edelbrock heads that are getting p&polished bigger valves ect.some HUGE 670-350 roller cam.he loves doing the weird ****.he thinks it should put out over 650hp.he has MS.and cant drive but he still want to build the motor and put it in my car and see how it works.i have a 401 that i am building that should put out the same numbers and its going to be ready just incase there is a problem with his stroker motor.my car should be pretty sick since the 360 i have in it know is only putting out about 300 to the back tires!!!!!and still lifting it up high.im sure my ets will be in the mid to low tens without a problem.the only problem will be ME!!!!
