    from Union, Mo.

    Hi all,
    I'm a newbie from Union Missouri.

    I started out Dragin around 1960 (I was 17), on a little track in Pacific, Missouri (now its the main street of a subdivision), with a 53 Ford 4 door Fordomatic trans, we milled the heads .050, drilled the jets a little, packed ice around the carb and took the belts off. It was a screener I believe the best time was around the mid 9's .... Oh yea the track was a 1/8 mile.. :D I almost forgot we put the torch to the front springs to make it look cool. :eek:

    Then came the wife and kids so there went the racing... Mama said!

    Anyway now I'm retired my grandson is interested in cars so we are tossing around building a HA/GR. I have a bone stock Flathead 239, 3 speed ******, bango rear and a lot of time on my hands..

    Once again - Hello Everyone
