United Flathead Racing Association - UFRA

Awesome! My dad was telling me about the exchange program they had with UFRA where they would send one of there cars (southern California) to Australia and they would send one of their cars back! So maybe we can do something like that now with your cars and one of ours

 

No, not yet. Just starting my flathead FED so haven't had a real reason to go but plan to. Did join their group last year, they had a race scheduled here and I was going to run a street car with them but they cancelled at the last minute. From what I'm hearing that is happening fairly regularly and when they do have a race there isn't much in the way of a car count. That's why I'm interested in this UFRA. I'd love to be involved in something that could generate a decent car count. I'd have no issues traveling anywhere in the southwest (geez, I live in Albuquerque so we're use to travel for anything cool car wise!) for a good show several times a year. By the same token, if there was enough interest I'm sure I could get our local track to host a show as well. Bottom line, I want to build a flathead dragster and I need somebody to play with.

 

Thats what we are here for!

 

Don't worry. There are Flatheads in Utah. Wayno

 

How about IOWA and NEBR there's got to be more than just me out here

 

"Subscribed"

 

Thanks for posting such a great thread. Reall enjoy the old flatheads and still do.

 

I'm glad this is getting the response I was hoping for! All these ol' flatheads coming out of the woodwork!

 

Metal, you'll have to come over next March for a visit, car or no car.

 

Already in the plans with the FED, finished or not!

 

Hey everyone so here is an update! We are going to be a Mooneyes Christmas party tomorrow racing our flathead dragster and we would like to have an informal meet in greet in our pit. See who is interested have a sign in sheet so we can send out our first newsletter.

Look for the little blue flathead dragster the "Antique Doll" and we will have a UFRA sign out there as well! Hope to see you out there!

 

I want to be included out here in West Texas. I have an original TE440, but will not run it because it was built in the 50's but am going to talk to K. Tardel about getting a chassis fron him. I have a couple of good 8ba motors that I can build up and a buddy who wants to drive. Keep me in the loop!

 

Can't make it over to Cali. for the party but sent a pm to get on the list.

 

Enjoy the party and have a great XMas.....................

 

Sent you a PM to be added to the list!

 

Great got all the PMs. Feel free to PM me if you want to be added to the newsletter.

Forgot to say we are in spot 604 at Mooneyes so come on over!

Consider having some inline 6 competitions...that would be wild. Good luck, Mike

 

Yup we have already talked about that. As long as its a flathead though.
