Looks like you've been practicing doing "trailer burnouts" on the checkerd-flag garage floor. The rail looks good, but then again, look at the tow truck. Butch/56sedandelivery.
Very cool Carl! Not many guys get to do stuff as neat as you're doing... Good luck at Eagle Field! Sam
Carl, I posted these on the Eagle Field thread on the HA/GR board but I'll throw them up here for you too. I have some more but I still need to sort through them.
Thanks Katuna here is the video we took from saturday and am I stoked, it made an old man really happy after all of this work....... and this is as close as I came to Tim all day..... Of course from this photo you all can see Tim is definitely over the start line, trying to get an edge.............
Yea the last was the best, but they were all coooll to me. It got the 65year ol juices flowing again and we can't thank Rocky enough for the effort he puts into this..........
Cool videos! It inspires the hell out of me. Man, that thing runs on a rail. Arrow straight. Power will come in time. I noticed in our pics the smoke drifting up but could'nt tell where it was from. Getting some blowby? Don't let them smart allacky overhead vavle guys get on your nerves. Showoffs!
Good work man that is one nice ride. A FED is a blast to drive ain't nothing like it. We went from this. To this NHRA says we can't go faster than 6.39 at the local 1/8 track and that's cool cuz it has run a best of 7.57
It's official Carl Lemke is your official C/GD Champion! Carl is a guy who knows how to have fun and has worked his tail off to get his car together, congratulations my friend. Rocky
Well thank you Roc for all the fine words, but that is definitely the most fun you can have with your clothes on and I am still grinn'in from ear to ear, lets see, went racing, didn't break anything, got back home safely, and now this life can't get any better...........
Hemi: lots of extra pep, now if it just didn't take me half an hour to pry myself out of the dragster it would be even better Rod Guy, yep again and again and again and again ect. ect. ect..............
This is what it was like at Eagle, a special thanks to Rick Fleischer for the photo's......... My Pit crew and a lovely one she is....... RJ doing his "Thing"..................... All in all a fantastic day at Eagle Field and an experience we all should have at least once in our lifetime....................... Thanks to all who came up and said Hi and a special thanks to McTim for a great run or three.......
Carl, not being picky, but did you have fuel volume & pressure to sustain the engine thru the whole 1/4 mile?
Great meeting you at Eagle Field Carl...you can be very proud of that rail. Great job on the build and the tow rig is perfect. Congratulations on the C/GD win. Keep having fun.
John, yes plenty I'm running a belt driven fuel pump........... Tom, yep I love the ICT, built it ten years ago and she tows the fed just fine..........
Carl, I'm so glad you had a blast! Tim, what can we say. Way to go ,you guys are having way too much fun!! You guys rock, big time! Lippy
