We had the same thing at Thunder Valley back in the 60's, and (of course) it was called the "Hot Car Gate"! Push cars would bring them through the gate, give them a push start, then they'd go down to the starting line, do their U-turn, burn out, a dry hop, then launch them suckers!!!!!!!!! The rest of us came through the staging lanes, pulled on the strip, backed into the 'water box' which was a low spot in the blacktop, then went up to the lights with a couple dry hops along the way!!!!

I remember one Sunday when it was going slow and some jerk in the stands was really giving me a hard time. I was getting tired of listening to his BS so I yelled out to him that if he thought he could do a better job then get his butt out here. He was sitting with his girl and some friends and that called his bluff. He came strolling out to the center of the track and I handed him the flags and went to the starting line. We asked the next two guys up if we could line them up closer to the center of the track and they agreed. He flagged them off and down the track they went about two feet from him on either side. After they passed him he put the flags down in the middle of the track and walked back to the stands and I didn't hear a peep out of him the rest of the day.

Well---since talk has got around to English cars, how about I post up some pics I took today at a British Car Festival????I was going to just post them in that thread about did ithis count as a hot rod----------

Works for me Jerry

Very cool stuff, Ken. You should drag one those home with you!

It looks like you guys hoard English cars like we hoard American ones..
