Jalopy Showdown 2006 question for you

The 2006 Jalopy Showdown is May 20th, the weekend we have been doing the show the past several years. I am meeting today with the owner of a local airport about 15 minutes from the Showdown about doing drag racing on that Sunday, the 21st. Anyone interested in staying for the extra day? I'm going to let him run his deal there...and relax with everyone else. It will be set up that you HAVE to be at the Showdown the day before or you dont race. Let me know what you think and I'll let you know how the meeting goes.
They race there now. Kind of cool that if a plane wants to land you have to clear the runway/strip! Anyone that knows where this is at, please keep it under your hat until I firm it up. The big boys jumped in on our weekend already...thats enough.

 

If I can get my heap on the road, yes, that would be cool!

Maybe I'll set my sights higher and borrow gamps old nitro flatty! I'd be gunnin' for that valve covered 302!

 

If we make it this year, I'D RACE!!!!!!!

 

Don't forget to mention that more than likely there is no Xmas tree. A flagman will start the racers. All heads up racing!

OMG YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES YES YES
nothing better than a bunch of DOUCHEBAGS draggin'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

ill put my ford 302 up against any other 302 out there.......(if it makes it out there!! haha)

 

Sounds cool I'm up for that......is there any saftey regulations to the drags that we would need to follow?

 

Larry, Is this your way of motivating me to finish the Lyndwood? It would be neat to have it return to its birth state running for the first time since 1962. It first raced at the Montgomery N.Y. Airport with a Hemi in 1960.

 

**** yeah! if I don't blow a ****** Sat. Tell me you don't want a picture like this with your car in it!!

 

Yeah Tommy, mut I want you to be that flag guy!

37, finish ALL your projects and bring them down.

Sixcarb, I'll let you know later when/if we can firm this up.

 

You better tell him about all the mud that will be flying off the cars as they tear down the drag strip hahah.

 

Sure all I need is a trampolene and a strategic camera angle.

 

WOW, I read your post and got all goose-bumpy. HELL YEAH I'd stick around on Sunday!! Sure would beat heading back to Hersey.

 

you aint kiddin'.........a bunch of guys bench racing or a bunch of guys(and gals) heads up racing...hrm..

 

YO!! Count me,and my little brother,"IN like Flynn" man .I can't wait to run my sedan,I just put a 392 4spd in it.I'll change gears in your parking lot after the drive from Connecticut. WAY COOL. Wish CT Dragway was still open.

 

im no drag racer but sure sounds like fun
count me in!

I'd be there for sure, not racing, but watching, wouldn't miss it! the 54' would be good background material.. haha

 

To put it in the laymen - "That would absolutely ****ing rock...."

Plain and simple.

 

Very cool idea!

 

A drag race at a old airport ,heads up with a flag man that would be like a dream come ture. Larry you better make it happen use your Scarylarry charm smile at this guy and tell him that this is the right thing to do. Tell him that you'll paint his house cut his gr*** anything just make it happen. Ya'll better bring woodscrews cause I'm fixing to blow the doors off something!

 

Larry, just make sure that the *** wagons and mustangs that usaully race there, are not involved. Other than that, it would be a great idea. I guess I'm going to have to start on my new engine. thanks buddy.

 

I wanna play to. Mikey and I can finally settle this once and for all.

 

I'll settle it.....You're both GAY!!!
Clark

 

Yeah right. You know your wife won't let you race that truck.

 

I'm so there...I'm going to try to drag some of THEM! with me this year,,
will have to jump them into the Douche Bags CC

 

Oh yea that would be a great idea. One question though, Are you going to have camping at the showdown that Saturday nite for out of towners? I hope this pans out for you. later shawn

 

HELL YES!!!!!!!I am Sooooooo there!!! I cant wait!!!

 

Well, we stayed til sunday anyway last year...that might have been because we got a slight bit tipsy so we couldn't drive though..Douchebags!
Drags sound like a good time!
I was gonna try and get the 53 there this year, but if i'm gonna be drag racin' i have to bring the quicker of the two slow cars! HAHAHA

Good idea Larry..

what would we be runnin on, 1320 or short track?

 

Guess I will be calling in sick Monday

 

I'll be coughing into my phone right next to you.
