  1. I'll throw mine in, it doesn't do anything well, not that fast at the strip and horrible ride on the street. But it's fun. 5700003.JPG

    If someone wants to lie they could always just put a plate on it for the pictures.

    No man that survived Drag Week needs to be justified....
     
  5. No one really needs to be justified anyway. If they are being dishonest too bad for them, right?

  6. WELL SAID! It is THE test, of everything you bring to it. I hope to try THAT TEST.
     
  7. Yea beaner, if you dont really drive it you are missing out on the real reason to have a hotrod! Not diving it would be like paying for a high priced hooker and just wanting to talk! LOL:)

  12. This is my 66 chevelle its my high school car. It completed drag week this year with a sealed engine. First pic shot on day four outside of cordova. Squirell is in the back round. Pic two impound area day five. Pic three wheels up st.louis. pic four union grove because i just found it in my phone. I guess me and squirell have four between us that dont need to be justified. 20150917_115608.jpg 20150918_185012.jpg imagejpeg_2.jpg datauri-file.png

    My 56 see's mostly street duty but does go to the track sometimes. 11.29 et. at 4300 feet measured above sea level. On a typical hot day we are nearly 6000 feet corrected altitude. 1 016.jpg

    My 37 Ford tudor slantback. Runs 388 SBC, M22 Four speed and Ford nine-inch rear. It's primarily a street car, but I run every local nostalgia drag event that I can.

    Not super-quick, best E.T. is 12.1 to date. I've been trying to nurse it into the elevens for the past few years. Some work over the winter and I'll try again in 2016.

  20. Spindle mounts and no front brakes on the street. I would mind if Mr. Smith was following me!

    Came to sticky end tho. Have kept the engine box & diff so plan to put it into a fenderless Fram Burnout.jpg Impact 2.jpg late 20s sedan and aim for low 9s. I hit the wall hard but came away unscathed! Good safety gear is a great investment
