Thread: 2007 Tucson Fuel Altereds & Show

Tweet

...and more..

A couple of the many Alky Altereds.

This pretty little '27 Roadster had a padded hardtop!

You don't see chopped Toyota race trucks too often......especially with 513 Chevy power!

...again...

Race cars aren't as simple as they used to be. The "Fast & Forty" Fuel Altered requires a degree in electronics, before you are allowed to work on it! :-)

A nice steel '32 coupe in the show.

Several of the cars there with the Southwest Superchargers had this hybrid chassis style. It looks like it's daddy was a dragster, and it's mommy was an Altered.

...some more....

The Alky Altered in the back is run by the famous "Blind Faith" team of Fuel Altered fame...Maroney & Day. The car in the foreground was obviously inspired by the old Mooneyham & Sharp coupe, with it's "334" number on the side.

This Tee, one of many in the car show, showed some individual creativity.

I rode out with a good friend of mine in his '50 Chevy pickup. He recently finished it with a 402 bigblock, 4-speed, 9 inch, 4-wheel discs, and A/C. That is a bunch of flaming chili peppers on the tailgate! (This IS Tucson, Arizona!) The car next to it is a '58 Ford "retractible".

....more qualifying.

I'm not sure, but this may be the famous roadster of Gary Cagle. It's been in Tucson in the past....though I don't remember his crew being dressed in high heels before. :-)

The second picture shows him facing a smallblock Chevy Fiat, very reminiscent of the early Altereds.

Some unusual graphics on one entry.

The parade before eliminations. This featured the Altereds, the Southwest Superchargers, and the National T-Bucket Alliance members hosting the show.

Here are a couple cars you will recognize.....Mike Sullivans Fiat, and the Winged Express. Both cars were flying, but it looked like the "taller" Marcellus & Borsch car was a hand full to drive! Willie would have been proud!

Here are a couple more action shots.

The winged Express "at speed".

And a blurry 255MPH pass by the Consolidated welding car, a flat black Tee, with the Fast & Forty Fiat in the far lane.....the best "fire & thunder show" of the night, at the point we left. If I can find out who met in the final, I'll add it later.
