The Jalopy Journal
God alone knows how many hours it's taken me, but I have finally read/looked at every post in this entire thread. I want to thank everyone who...
The kit was re-issued not too long ago-- and the arm is included.
Yup, I'm the guy that put together that video on YouTube. I didn't take the pics-- they're just taken from my collection of drag pics from the...
I'm 48, and still buy 'em regularly. They're still cheap as dirt, too-- at least, the "plain" ones are. The "Dragstrip Demons" are around 5...
My grass is blue. In order of non-suckiness-- harmonica, mandolin, guitar (Telecaster), dobro, mountain dulcimer.
I'm proud to say that I have seen every picture and followed every link in this thread. I visit every other day, if not every day-- and I hope it...
Thanks. Sad day indeed.
Just heard that Shirl Greer passed away. If someone can confirm it, I'd love to see a little photo tribute happen here. Tim
Damn, Skywolf-- I don't know what the record is on this thread for most consecutive awesome pics, but I have a feeling you just took the crown....
64 Cyclone-- my brother is a member of the BMX museum website (I'll have to find out his user-name). Great stuff on there. (Sorry to go OT, folks).
Oh God, I need a wall-sized poster of this shot!
JHole-- thanks for sharing what you've shared here. It puts a human face on a machine-focused sport.
This is fu-king sweet!
Aside from the brilliant pics, THIS is why this thread rules. Inside stories that we would otherwise have ZERO access to. I, like most of you...
I repeat-- quick tutorial, anyone?
dragnews-- all I can say is-- holy sh-t!
Okay-- can someone give me a quick tutorial on how to post pics here? I'll show y'all a couple of my builds.
Damn, I'd pay good money for that "Time Bomb."
The Fiat was a Monogram kit (1/32 scale)-- I own two of them. Great kit. Truly tests one's painting skills. What a great thread! Some amazing...
I'm fairly certain it's Epping.
Dog-- you are ripping it up on both this thread and the drag racing thread. Great stuff!
Wow! Skywolf, you are just rippin' up this thread! Great work. Same to Dog, and all the other MVP's of the thread (we all know who they are!)....
I saw that happen. But I was sitting near the starting line and that was just about in the traps, if not past them.
Fantastic post! I grew up down the street from Islip, and that's where my addiction to burnt rubber began!
This thread has gotten kinda slow-- please, to all of the great posters that have made this the most phenomenal thread ever-- don't let it die!
Someone mentioned that there is a thread devoted to vintage modifieds (roundy-round) here-- can anyone provide a link? The vintage sprint-car...
My apologies.
Agreed. There is no reason for every dragstrip to extend itself (watch the ticket prices soar if they do!). The simple answer is to slow the...
Page 243, and on its way to being the best page in the thread! This thread is unreal!
Someone please point me in the direction of the sprint car thread!!!
