Sorry doing this all from my smart phone .. But I'm not a smart operator ... Need to learn to flip pics before posting
Cars are done and ready for Tucson reunion show this sat night ... Will post pics of them before we put them in the trailer ....thanks goes out to all you guys on here for all the info and positive words .... Thanks guys P. s. they look good all painted up
Mike is this a race or just a reunion show? Will you get to make some hits? Congradulations on having the two cars completed.
It's a race ... We going to test and tune race or what ever we can do to make as many passes as we can . Should be lots of fun to get away from town and relax with good people
Old28, if they run like last year they have sessions where they run 1/8th mile flag starts for awhile then bring out the "hot" cars and exhibition cars. I think the only actual racing will be the Western Fuel Altereds.Then they will cap the night off with a cackle fest in front of the stands.I will try and get some pics and videos for you guys.
Thanks old28 ...soon we will have to come to cal and do some racing with you guys .. I also will post up some pics of the week end and finished car pics
Well we have some encouraging news..I heard that they hired someone to be the Dragstrip Operations manager for Firebird.I have also had some friends report they have seen Contractors vehicles on site over on the reservation.Lets all hope they get it back up and runnin soon!.
Well we made it ... Just doing some little nutting and bolting of the cars then we are set for tomorrow's test and tune ... Here's some pit pics
Great effort guys, Good to see those 2 young fellows made it too. Looking at the above pic, I see you've got a "Pit Bike" there too...
