The Jalopy Journal
Actually, Gene loves to see the Skairlane run and Jeff Jacobson is a good friend.
The Moonlighter has run a cammer before.[ATTACH]
Yeah, Gene is rounding up parts to build a cammer or two. He is finding parts that he didn't remember having and also can't find parts that he...
All of y'all that can make it, come on out to the Darlington Dragway Saturday, September 23. Shirley Muldowney will be there in addition to all...
Here is a copy of Gene's qualifying and 2nd round time slips. He got a bye in the 1st round because his opponent broke. He gave me this copy and I...
Thanks for the explanation, Quain. The 60 was 1.122 compared to 1.299 on his previous run. He was running real lean and it was popping pretty bad....
That pretty much explains all I know about it. I'm far from an expert on this, maybe Quain can explain it. We have a time slip for the scrapbook...
The time slip said Gene won. It didn't show red, it had a .001 light and said win at the bottom. They said he got a rear wheel light.
Danny, you should have been there! It was awesome. The ol' girl was running lean and popping, but she was haulin' ass. If Gene hadn't gone red in...
The Moonlighter was definitely running last night. Gene qualified 3rd out of 15 A/G cars and ran the quickest 1/8 mile since he has been running...
I am kinda partial to the 1st pic, that's me towing Gene to the staging lane.
I don't know what he's doing with the keys, they are not for the Moonlighter. It doesn't have a key switch.
Here we are at the strip. Just a bunch of old farts out for a Sunday afternoon stroll down memory lane. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Are you still interested in info about 13 Forks Dragstrip? If so, I have some info and can put you in tough with the Guy that puts on the 13 Forks...
[MEDIA] Well, I finally got the video posted. Please excuse the garbled sound. It was to loud for the mic on my camera. It really sounds good....
I think David tried to post it. I can't get my video to work. You can see David's video on my facebook page or Gene's. It sounds good, it really...
????? The video didn't post.
You might want to ask the engineers at Hilborn, that's the way they designed them.
I'm sure it does make you feel good. I wish you could have seen his face at the end of the track in Darlington.
The tunnel port is in, still a lot to do hooking everything back up. Hopefully, we will get it fired up next week. I told Gene not to fire it up...
Unfortunately no, we have no idea where it ended up.
[/ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Well guys the time has finally arrived! The tunnel port engine is going in the Moonlighter! The old engine is...
Sorry you didn't know sooner. We have been trying to promote the race. You need to follow the Southeast Gassers on facebook or friend me, Quain,...
Charles Tyre added some new lettering to the Moonlighter. Gene has gotten a sponsorship from a long-time friend and former drag racer. I'm waiting...
It ain't gonna happen. Gene want to see how the 427 runs after some changes.
The tunnel port is coming together nicely. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Do y'all remember the green towel Gene used in 2012 to keep crap out of his engine? Well, it's back...... [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Deron, I went back and credited you for the photo. I know what you mean by being able to listen in on conversations. I have had many opportunities...
Quain, of all the pics I have, this is one of my favorites. I have no idea who took it, it was on a CD that Gene gave me.[ATTACH] Photo by Deron Gray.
Ric, I'm glad to hear you're moving to the right coast and I'm looking forward to seeing "YESTERDAY'S CHILD" running with the Southeast Gassers.
