Heh-heh; Speed week and Drama week, combined! That's why I love this place.

So, is the scrub line what ya see if you don't get all the salt washed off?

I was waiting for Deek to answer this, since it's his post. I guess I'll step in here.

A few years ago, before our club had chosen a name, we were at the California Hot Rod Reunion. We started talking to an older gentelmen that really liked our stuff. He mentioned that his father (who had p***ed on) was a founding member of the Throttlers of Hollywood. He mentioned that he still had all of his Dad's plaques, timing tags and jackets. He told us stories about his dad's involvment in the club in the begining of land speed racing. Did you know that the SCTA was founded in a meeting at the Throttlers' club house? I didn't until we talked with him. He himself, in his high school days, tried to start the Throttlers club back up. He said it only lasted for about 7 years, then everyone lost interest. Anyhow to make a long story short, we got his blessing to use the Throttlers as our club's name.

The original club was a land speed club. Membership in a club was required to run on the dry lakes back then. This winter our club will start work on a land speed car. We plan to use the powerplant from my old 8-second street car. This should provide plenty of power to push our car over the 200mph mark. We like to stick to the roots as much as possible. Hopefully with everything we have done so far and with what we plan in the future, we will do the name of the Throttlers proud.

That's a cool story!

I guess I should turn over a new leaf and stop making sarcastic remarks about people's cars... I realize that there is a depth to each and every person... it's just a little hard to tell sometimes over the computer.

Anyone else have this problem?

Maybe we should start a support group!

"The missionarys drank all of mine!" Sorry, my fault... Nice to see you on here Dekon!

 

I like the throttlers and there cars. I dont really know them but I got the inside scoop from my connection in the S.L.C.. They build nice cars, drive them, and most important of all I heard they were ******** car guys. As an added bonus loud pedal has a model A with a hemi in it.
nice work!
