Drag Races in DOS Palos CA!

Well not yet but I'd like some input on the main board. Check out my thread http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=345745 and offer some input. Thanx, Rocky

 

Went there and did that.

Now I won't be able to go to sleep tonight just thinking of the idea!!

 

I know what ya mean Tom

 

Okay, that'd be entirely too *****in.

If it were the 2nd week in August I might could bring the Berkeley ('56).

Don't worry, it'll be slow, it's built for B-Ville.

 

We'd love to have ya but August would be HOT in this area. I thinking Spring or Fall Erik. Rocky

 

What is a Berkeley?

 

A snob liberal college town in NorCal?

You have a first year Berk? Gennie or is it one of the repops, and which model in either case?


ps. Here's a Wiki link Joe, several of the secondary links have a bunch of pictures too.

Berkeley, 1956, SCTA, G Gas/ Modified Sports

2 liter whatzit W/ Hilborn.

Not mine, Pop's, but we would be in the general vicinity as that's the week after speedweek.

 

907?

 

Used ta was, trying to get that number back on the car (907 is the area code for the state of Alaska ).

IIRC it was #559 at the '08 meet (when Pop's bought it).

It's in 'rework' right now, hopefully we can get the mechanical stuff finished here in the next 3 weeks or so, do some minor body repairs and then finish the tow rig so I can get on puting a push truck together (got a '50 Jimmy 5 window that doesn't run, and a totaled '04 Trailblazer W/ the straight 6, there's gotta be a running driving push truck somewhere in between the two).

That is if I can get my daily to quit breaking.

Guess that's what I get for taking over the maintenance on it, it gets all accustomed to repair work and such.

If I get Photobucket and my Derrr-puter to cooperate, I'll start a thread on the main board about it (the Berkeley, not puting a late model 'plant into a '50 Jimmy). About the same time I start a 'build diary' over on Landracing.

Sorry for the hijack guys, but I think it would be really cool to run there, and especially to meet some of you, in person like.

Of course that would ***ume (that darn word again) that we don't break it at Speedweek.

 

FWIW, I got the thread up on the main board.
