Still kickin here...not too high though. Cancer seems to be under control and I'm busy every day at the machine shop or Moody's Hot Rod Shop. Or...
2B, Congratulations! You've got that flat motor working. Keep tuning and the 11's will come. Ron
Hud, Thanks for the comment. Ron p.s. The car is for sale.
LOL..... One way or the other MR. Saginaw is going BYE-BYE this winter. Ron
Very serious! With a glide the car will run 11.30's on Coker tires, and 10.90's on better tires. With front suspension like Hiney's it would be...
Thanks. The 4x1 header feels like it doubled the torque below 4000 rpm and the horsepower feels the same. I'd suggest anyone with zoomies build a...
Thanks for the info. Ron
My understanding from talking to the SDRA guys is the 292 Chevy and the 300 Ford will be allowed next year. Ron
Vector, Way to go. Ron
Butch, I know...I've been taking the drugs. One more treatment and I'm done. Ron
I'd like to say I knew that all along......however, I can't tell that lie. I've fought those SOB's for years. Thanks, Ron
DO IT!!! Sounds perfect to me. I like 4-bangers. Ron
Best guess: Hydraulic 234 degrees @ 0.050 0.325 lobe lift (Multiply .325 X rocker ratio for valve lift) 108 degrees lobe seperation The...
Butch, The chassis looks excellent. Ron
mudflap, Bob parked (not pitted) next to us as soon as he came in and immediately told me wasn't allowed to compete. They had involked the 200...
Todd, AMEN, brother...AMEN. Hiney is without a doubt the biggest supporter of the HA/GR movement and to tell him he couldn't race was a shock...
Congratulations to 2B. He did a number on us. He comes out hard while we were smoking the tires in 1st & 2nd. Hell-of-a-good-job driving the...
I need the names of the HA/GR guys that will be here for the Nostailgia Nationals so I can let the KCIR owners know. I'm sure they will let us in...
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there. Ron
Congratulations. Ron
Mopar, I'm going to try this one more time. I guess I'm not making my point very well, or not at all. I'm sorry for the confusion. All I'm...
Mopar, A few years ago we were running a beautiful rear engine alcohol dragster on the 1/8th mile at Osborn, Mo. The car ran 133 in the 1/8th....
Vector, HELP, HELP, HELP.....I think I just threw myself in the lion's pit and all I see are teeth and claws. However, the up side is everyone...
Vector, I agree with you 100%. Precicely what I've been trying to convey. HA/GR's are being built to the rules/requirements of a region: Low...
Hey, I like the hell out of the Rat Rod looking PU. If you were as old, and stiff as I am you wouldn't be able to get in it. Ron
Bob, The chassis looks trick and looks like it will be very light weight. I really like the "wires". Looking forward to seeing you at MoKan on...
Hell, I think some of the cars and members ARE "hokey assed". LOL Ron
I'm starting this thread to see who plans to come to Kansas City for the 3 day Nostalgia Nationals, September 11,12,13. Last year KCIR let the...
Rocky, Now that sounds like the kind of event perfectly suited for the HA/GR cars. Wish we had the same thing here in the midwest. Ron
Mopar, Amen brother, amen. Hang in there and savor the experience. You'll be one of the true lovers of the sport of drag racing and you'll...
