Thread: Big News! Spokane Dragstrip!

Tweet

you ought get a jeep and make another holy toledo

Built one of them many moons ago for a customer.... Straight axle on the front and a 'glass jeep body from Shell Valley.... It was even a center steer car! Ran strong, had a BBC in it. After a couple years the owner switched it over to a 'glass cobra body. Haven't heard anything about the car for 15 years or so, sure would be a fun one to track down though!!!!!!!!

well since i know i wont be competitave anymore, lemme know if you need help in the hot rod shop, i am thinking of retiring from racing already, i have to face the facts i dont have a carreer that pays enough to stay competitave and i dont have 10+k a year sponsors

Not taking on anymore projects til I get moved to Texas....Did I mention I'll be 20 miles from the big dragstrip in Baytown where they run the 'Nats????

sounds fun, you should buy my nova somebody will want it someday i sure dont anymore!!!!!! all their is now is to sit around wor on the vega pray it'll like pump gas and stare at the nova and say, well that was fun while it lasted!!!!! then maybe when im 60 or so ill build another car. my main gripe is with all these electronics you cant win unless you got em!!!! so ill just stick my 65 283 2bbl back in the car and put the hood on it and go play

They'll be running the "no box" brackets, every place else does....IHRA and NHRA.

Crank it up a bit and run the 10.90 Super class, it's a blast! Just like Super Gas and Super Comp, just a 10.90 breakout.

i think i was over-reacting i was just worried about running with the bigger boys oh well its not liek they will be here every weekend

well the really good news is the concrete launch pad to 660 is on its way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Makes for a lot more consistent launch, should help the ET some too. With concrete all the way to 660 a car will be in the flatter part of the torque curve when it comes off the concrete which will mean fewer problems at the transition. Also means you can build a lot more power into the car and not overpower the track near as easy.... Start thinking of ways to make the car hook harder, the track will hold it a lot better.

a set of slicks would be nice they are in the sponsors budget i call it. once the checks come in i make sure where it goes where its needed most and slicks are there. also got an appt with a good friend were are going to roll out a full tin interior door panels rear-firewall <yeah i didnt have one of those this whole time> lots of stuff to be done!!!!!

I just heard from a friend that Bucky Austin bought the Spokane track.

he didnt buy it he is being chosen to lease the track fromt he country. if he bought then city hall is in big trouble for holding secret meetings.

My friend probably assumed it was a purchase.

well turns out its going to be 330 not 660 of concrete oh well that is way better then zero like it is right now. its all asphalt haha. he got a 25 year lease instead of 10 wow!
