Event Coverage HAMB Drags

Who won the "CUP" ????

 

I promise I don't want to buy it...I just need some info on his frame

 

Malcolm... nice running a12.09 @ 115!

What was your 60' times?

 

LOL you're closer to it then he is to the drags, drop him a note and head north for burgers and bench racing.

Never mind you meant the tornado didn't you I don't think he's too far off either.

 

Thanks for the great pics!!

 

Oh, yeah, Malcom was on it for sure. Great run by him, should have won his class.

I think my 60' time on that 12.09 run was 1.73.. or something close to that. Now I know the car definitely has an 11-second pass in it! The transmission is a stock '86 Mustang non world class T5 - definitely not the toughest out there, so I didn't launch too hard. Wanted to be able to drive it back home

 

Next year, I'll paint the car orange and add nitrous... maybe that will help?

 

@Tom davison - As usual, great images ... great event coverage! ... Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Tom!!....Always enjoy your photos.

 

Ladies and gentlemen... a dangerous man!

 

His camera looks like a holstered 6 shooter... Draw!

 

I wouldn't challenge that fella to ANYTHING, but especially not a photo shoot-out!

 

great shots wish I would have been there

 

Malcolm a 1.73 60 ft time means you are spinning the tires a bit to much. Get a good set of wrinkle wall slicks. If you were running slicks it looks like you may have had a bit to much air pressure in them. Good Luck next year.

 

Thanks, all!
Have been kinda busy visiting with friends in Kansas City today, no time to post. Here are a few more.

It was a homecoming for me. The last time I was at MoKan was 1965...when I was airbrushing hot rods on t-shirts in my booth I had there for a while. That's when I met Jim and Bill Wilbert who had opened the track a few years before that.

Nick, I had to stop you and say hi...we'd criss-crossed each others paths for too long in tshe past.

Thanks for the great shot, Blake! Man on a mission.

 

Man that red '56 is sweet!

 

Wasn't a trailered 32 Roadster was it?

 

Very unconventional sled, but it works. I like it!

 

It was finished very nicely, Tony.

 

I visited a couple of friends' shops Sunday. One of them had one of the the best (and rarest) pieces of hot rod nostalgia that I have ever seen. You be the judge!

It's not made up, it's real. Don ran and almost won some time ago. May be he lost because all of his campaign signs were stolen!

 

Hope it's OK that I post this here, Tom... it's fun to see that beautiful black Ford parked next to a mostly stock-bodied version.

 

I really liked the lines on that coupe, very clean from all angles.

 

Well if you can't beat 'em on motor run it on squeeze.

Your little roadster has got it in spades my young friend. There is more in it just hunt for it, don't wander off the rails, the quickest way to the big end is in a straight line.

 

Great pictures, thanks

 

Fun to watch the two '46's race together too, Blake. Unfortunately, I don't believe I got the shot, but they ran together at least twice.

 

Great shots as always @Tom davison - hope you are planning on coming to join us in Lafayette for the Bayou Round Up, too!
