Really nice altered. Occasionally we get one like this at the local track but the engines are usually milder. Seems like most people are reluctant...
I'll post some times after I test it a bit.
Thanks for the complement. Maybe I took his statement wrong! Things get misinterpreted in e mails very easily.
No I agree. It wouldn't pass tech at a big track. The tracks I run here in Michigan are independent and non-sanctioned so I've been able to get by...
Really?? Built in the back yard? Is this why we're encouraged to post our stuff so others can publicly cut it down and try to embarrass us? I...
Hope it runs as good as it looks!
Made the jump to Hilborn and alcohol. Ran 9.65 before the injection on gas. Hoping to test this weekend weather permitting.
Who sells the adapter?? Will a flexplate compatible with the turbo 400 bolt up to the earlier 389 crank?
I recently picked up a '61 Pontiac bubbletp with a 389 and an automatic. I don't have a whole lot of experience with pre-65 pontiacs and I was...
Are we allowed to stay at the track? I'd like to bring my RV and stay out there if it's allowed.
yep that picture above was taken at Ubly last month. It's a fairly smooth track which is really appreciated if you don't have a suspension....
Anybody still running these as they were built up in the 60's and 70's?? Mine is still running without suspension and front brakes. All the other...
Well, I told my wife there's worse things I could be into such as gambling or chasing woman! At least if us guys get tired of the junk we can turn...
Welcome from Auburn Hills!!
I'm also building up a 1929 pontiac coupe 3 window. It was totally disassembled when I bought it and doesn't have a deck lid so will have to make...
This is being built up at my shop now. These pics are old so it's progressed since these were taken but it's an altered wheelbase '64 Chevy II...
26 for me. That was 1991 and I took my '64 Chevelle SS with an L-88 and 8" slicks. I ran a small 125hp shot nitrous system on it and it ran a best...
Great pics! Will try to hit one of these events next year!
Yep, bantams are cool but just don't see them anymore at the local tracks.
Took the car out to Lapeer Dragway(Lapeer Michigan) yesterday and the best I could do was a 10:30. It was really cold yesterday with the temp at...
I'd like to plan on the H.A.M.B. drags but my wife is almost ready to deliver a baby. I'll have to plan on racing local for a little while but if...
I run the Crane Gold's in my race engines and have had no problems but I have tried the Summit Aluminum rockers and found the bodies were cracked...
Lapeer Dragway. Will be there again this weekend for their invitational race.
The only problem I've run ito with the short cage is my head bumps it on the bumpy return road. I didn't have a plan on making it taller but do...
After seeing that Mustang pic all is forgiven LOL!
I run a 360CI SB with a roller cam, Dart heads, 13:1 with a powerglide. All we pretty much did was install the driveline and paint it as it was...
Hey, I just posted an innoccent message of something that I thought this group might find interesting. There's no reason to run my car down...
The cage is a bit short and a bit shallow. It was built up late 60's to early 70's as best we could tell. The cage was professionally manufactured...
No, it wouldn't have ended that way if it has happened at the eighth mile mark or closer to the end of the quarter!
