Event Coverage drag racing for fun. no rules no classes hamb friendly

Our shop is having drag racing this summer. it is 1/8 mile track. it is all for fun no classes n no rules.
all hambers welcome.

 

No interest in this? I wish we had a track close to where I live. There are plenty of places, and at least one closed down military runway, but it takes more money than I have these days. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

If I were home and had a car ready, I'd be there.

But I'm not and I don't, so I won't.

 

We went down a few years ago when they run the Lbs- cubic inch classes. Nice track ,good people, just a littie far for us.

 

Wish it was close to me, I like running at this type of event.

 

Jalopy Showdown Drags at Beaver Springs every September is the most fun, no rules type of drag racing around, I highly recommend it

 

I like the idea.

 

Hopefully they dry the track....

 

Been past a few times, always looked like a petty lad back bunch. I was always miserable from eating too much at the Tootoot.

 

Sounds cool, what I was hoping Eagle Field would be. I went a couple of times and haven't been back. Judging by the lack of coverage here on the HAMB I'm not the only one.

 

That damn toot toots! It's damn good

 

Done it once last year n had almost. 1000 people cars n spectators. It's a bunch of fun

 

side note, I raced there in 69 and our club raced there before that

 

Have a dang near life long friend that was born up there.
We have raced at the dirt track...that's a long story.
I should take Rockhound back home for a weekend.

How did they determine/verify cubic inches?

 

Honor system

 

It was a lot more fun than bracket racing!

 

Anyone in the Kc & Des Moines area.

 

Looks like fun.

 

Texas Nostalgia Drags at Yello Belly Drag Strip in DFW runs brackets with "loose" classes. I've run there for 5 years and have a great time each year. Brackets keep everybody honest and the loose classifications make for great spectator experience with "like racing like" - hot rods with hot rods, etc. A well run event that draws a great crowd as long as the weather is cooperative.

Oh, and there are winners and losers with class money and trophy plaques. Best, however, is that there's braggin' rights to be defended next year. Big fun and hot competition the same time!

 

If someone protested they would use a pump on them, I never saw anyone that get caught lying.The best setup was little cubic /inches and old pro cars .Like a 308 cu/in pro stock camaro

 

eagle field is run for fun event. I have attended a couple of times. if you want to beat the hell out of your car with no time slips just for the fun of it, it`s a good event. I like time slips . the problem ,to me, is the same as all events. after awhile it turns into money maker and to do that you have to let all comers in the gate so you end up with some real pos`s that you wouldn't line up with. I would like to run an event like you have described with just pure competition in mind
