aah! jake, you made the lizard PROUD!!!!aaarrrrrrrrr. i'm not sure but did anyone have fun last weekend!
Man Bob, the second biggest drag at the drags, was you not hitting 100 mph. I can't believe you got so close with the 99.5 and 99.4?. Next year, with some gears, you'll get a patch for sure.
Everyone I talked to ran faster at Mokan than Temple, maybe it's the track. I was slower, but didn't have the aerodynamic undercariage salt coating left over from B'Ville. That's my story. TZ

sad but true, my throttle linkage had come loose and moved forward so i was not getting a full throw. i never noticed when i was changing my alternator at the track. but when i got home and raised the hood that's the first thing i saw. i most likely would not have went that much faster but atleast a 100. the back of big ric's forty sure looks nice!
BIG RIC says he's bringin' the '55 next year. Flat Top and Bass are gonna have to step it up a notch.
Hey guys, I know I am new but I thought that I would update you on the progress of "Frankenstein". Buzzard has seen some of the progress of this beast. This car in Braken (Sideburns project) is really coming along now. Had to stop working on it due to customer workload. I have been putting in nights (up to 2-3 in the morning) to finish this monster. We could not have it for the drags, but we are going to run this monster in December here in San Antonio. Kinda test and tune. I am puting this out because I am sure that some of the cars that were up at the drags might want to run up against "Frankie". Just to let some of the cat out the bag... The motor has been dynoed at 740 plus hp. I am going to pick up some slicks for the car, as I have gotten a little attached to the thing. Hell, I have left enough blood and skin on that car to give it its own DNA.. Don't know the exact date of when we will be running, but I would love to see that blown hemi matched up against Frankenstein... ps. I call it frankenstein, but sideburns really does not call it that... Rik

BELLM's pic's of the drags HERE still working on getting that F@!*-ing video off the camera.....hopefully tomorrow....
Evilfordcoupe. Man I liked your car. I was hoping to see it hammer down the track. Is that a 392 or a 354? J/C..... Root
Jake I thought you were just trying to get closer to another black primered wagon. too many Lone Stars? Flattop, I didn't think you could reach the floor of your '32. may I suggest a pillow in the seat.
I wish someone would have got a picture of VonEyeball while Jake was puking. It was the biggest grin you've ever seen. Kinda like he'd been there and was glad it was Jake instead of him.
[ QUOTE ] Thanks Kyle! I think its time for more advanced training since I got 1 BW photo to post.

Hey Sideburns, Just ribbin' ya. You guys don't let too much out on that crazy creacture y'all are building in the lab. I've been keeping the secret since Billy showed me what was happening. Let me know when y'all hit that test and tune, I wanna pit crew!!!
Me too. And ditto on the super secret part. Maybe I'll be ready to run by then. We can all make a couple of passes at the track down there.
