Erik, I'd suggest anyone running a flat tappet cam get on the internet and read all they can about the changes in engine oils since 1996. Do a...
2b, Sounds like you have your digger running pretty good. Are you going to make the big nostalgia event here in Kansas City in September. I'm...
Guys, If you want the facts you can talk to Don Cain (AA Gas Dragster and Puch & Cain Fuel Funny) from the Kansas City area. Rod Stuckey and Don...
I thought we were the only one running a manual tranny. If/when ours breaks we're going to an automatic. I'm tired of the uncontrobable wheelspin,...
Guys, How many guys in the midwest area are running manual transmissions in their HA/GR cars? How many are running automatics? Thanks, Ron
Butch, LMAO You made my day !!!! You pretty much covered it all (and all of us also). I'll never take all this too seriously again. Ron
Victor, Well said. Ron
DAMN.... I hope we can get close to that kind of turn-out at the nostalgia drags here at KCIR in September. We can all get in free and run our own...
Dick, I hope you get the chance to meet Bob. Quite a gentleman, BS'er and all around hot rodder and ambassador to the HA/GR group. Ron
Hey guys, I'm staying the hell out of this conversation. Been there...done that... and got my butt chewed every way from Sunday. My crew has...
Roy, Is that what I've been seeing down there. I've forgotten what I'm suppose to do with it. 4 hours would be the death of me. It was tough...
I think I took the Viagra by mistake and don't have any way to get it out of my system. Now I'm wanting to "go" and just spinning my tires...so to...
Butch, Get ready for some verbal abuse from the HA/GR guys. I have suggested a couple of rule changes in the past (radial tires & rev limiter to...
Dick, Ed sounds like he would be quite an asset to the forum. He has lots of experience and knowledge. I'll ask him to take a look. Mudflap,...
Dick, I have to agree about the traction....there isn't ANY with these tires. Ron
Victor, First of all I want to thank you for displaying our car on this thread and listing out times and mph. I'd like to list my partners on...
Interesting Pontiac point: Mickey Thompson ran a 4 cylinder Pontiac in one of his dragsters during the late 60's or early 70's. He also built a 2...
Richard, Thanks for the effort. I have my fingers crossed you can inject some logical thinking into the NHRA tech group and they will allow us...
Friday, I'll take you up on your offer to call Bob Blackweel since you guys have worked together. He knows me, and the rest of our crew, and has...
Interesting bit of information. I think it's time to ask for another meeting with Rob Parks and Bob Blackwell and suggest they look at the "Dune...
Todd, It looks like you and our crew will be the only ones here for the June 7th event. Looking forward to seeing you. Are you bringing your Pro...
Roy, Homemade biscuits and jam; I haven't had that since my mom made them years ago. (don't tell my wife I said that). Ron
Roy, Sept 11,12 & 13 (Fri, Sat, Sun). I'm trying to con Hiney into cooking breakfast at the strip one morning. Ron
Hiney, Looking forward to seeing you in Sept. I'm sure Roy will make it then also. Then we'll need at least 1 more car for a 4 car field. I'm...
Troy, I'm pretty sure the June 7th race is different than the one coming this fall. My understanding their different organizations. It sounds...
Roy, After lots of years building cars I got a dune buggy in Hot VW's magazine and I'm not ashamed to admit I have the 3 page article framed and...
Butch, I think if you narrowed a front axle to look "1950's right" nobody will say a word. I'm pretty sure the rules were meant to keep the...
Hemi, Roy Merritt and Bob Hindman can't make it ...Roy have a church commitment and Bob had surgery this week, and his car is apart. Lets see if...
There's a Muscle Car Reunion nostalgia race here the weekend of June 7th, 2009 and I was wondering who could make the race. Last fall 3 of us (Roy...
Hud, I stand corrected. Not being familiar with the Hudson design I assumed they were about like all other flat motors. One has to remember...
