Hey Fellas, Found this board and wanted to jump in. I'm a shade tree racer from Charlotte, NC. I love real hot rods, racers and those that do it themselves. I race my daily driver, do the wrenching myself and love it. In my garage: 2005 Dodge Magnum R/T Yep it's a wagon. It's my Daily Driver and drag car. Personal best so far is a 11.86 @ 112.76 w/ a 1.63 60' I just completed a new build which the weather has not allowed me to test at the track yet. I dropped a forged 6.1 HEMI w/ 10.9:1 compression, ported heads and Intake manifold from Modern Muscle in VA. 90mm TB, Kooks long tubes, Big cam, 4300 Paramount Dominator 'verter, Paramount built trans (NAG1). A Paramount 8.8 rear will be going in before the end of the month. I'm hoping for low 11s, with perhaps a toe in the 10s come good weather. 1992 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Original Owner of this jeep. Had it all the way through High School and College. Still have it, won't ever sell it. Lifted 3.5 inches with 33" swampers and the good stuff to have fun with it. 1952 MGTD This was my father's car. My mother p***ed it to me to repair and drive. Needs a quite a bit of work and should be a good way to keep my dad close to me (he p***ed 11 years ago). Here's a few shots of the cars: The MG and the new 6.1 Shortblock Yanking the Stock 5.7 outta the Magnum And the Magnum at Atco 2010 I know I may not have a traditional hot rod yet, but I will once I finish up these projects in front of me. Look forward to learning from y'all. cheers, Burleson
