II Funny, Thanks for the article. I knew there had to have been a round tube design at one point.
5window, I may have selected the wrong section. .
Hi squirrel, Very cool! I thought about going altered WB and still might. Looked at the Speedway kit, but I want to build as much of it as I can....
Wheelies are cool, but I prefer to move out rather than up. Here is a 9.4x pass in my 63 c10. Small wheel stand but a 1.35 60' on a radial tire....
Porknbeaner, That's the great thing about our sport if you will. We don't all have to like what others build, but we should at least appreciate...
I will be building a 64 Chevy 2 over the next few years. I bought the car with no suspension, not even the front shock towers. It does have the...
Just my old Farm Truck at the track..
Hope to have the truck back together again. It is always a blast!!
That's fine by me.. I should have done what I did the first time there.. That would have made the truck work a little better. I will be doing that...
Rocky, The wife likes to plan 18 months in advance. Got a date for October yet??
Please forgive my ignorance, but, what are the "rules" of a HAMB?Wheel base?Cubic inches?Trans?When I get some free time and a little extra...
Stormy,Thanks for the kind reply. I didn't see much racing as I was in the line to the track or eating some of the BBQ tritip we brought with us....
I'm one that prefers a little VHT, but I am ok with out it. In the 3 passes I made, I had to lift 60' out on two of them once I was able to go...
Here is a little something a buddy put up on another site: http://youtu.be/sgupqTSNFYc
Mctim, Thanks for the video.. This pass was probably my best pass. The other couple passes the truck was coming out from under me and I had to...
Truck is on the trailor after a short road test this morning. Tow rig is almost all loaded up. Waiting for my buddy to call me after he loads his...
Well just got done with a quick thrash. Had to replace a broken Hughes SFI flex plate (glad it didn't come apart with some rpm behind it), new...
Thank Rocky for clearing up the rumor I was spreading :)
Yes it can, but unfortunately so can no traction. When I was there last May, a very nice vette lost it half track, my guess is it was due to...
Jim, I just saw your post on 67-72trucks and was going to ask if you were coming down. Have you figured out where you are staying? I'm thinking...
I'm cool with the VHT. IMO traction makes things safer for all :) See you all in two weeks :)
Rocky, if you do an old, ugly, loud, truck class, I might have a chance of getting in it next may :)
Bad news... Had a problem with the truck today driving home from the dyno.. It's sitting on a trailor at a friends house waiting for me to come...
I'm excited!! I will be sticking the truck on the dyno Friday morning before putting it on the trailor to bring down.. Hoping to break the 500rwhp...
Speaking of registration.. I sent mine in as well. I'm assuming we won't hear anything but things will be ready for us in a will call?
Roller cam :) doesn't need the break in a flat tappet does..
Ahhh, the sound of the 418... http://73-ls1.com/63truck/fire_up_exsmall.wmv
Well, I'm happy to anounce I have sent in my prereg paperwork and I got the new bullet in the truck.. Just need to put bolts in the verter, put...
Right on.. Now you just need some burn out's through the start line to lay some rubber down.. I can come next weekend and start "preping" the...
Thanks Rocky, I needed a reminder for pre-registration!!
