Another Thompson Event

John Shapiro from Cruisin' Times magazine, Dave Breedlove and I are putting together a Nostalgia Pro Stock exhibition race to be held at the Independence Eve race at Thompson, 7/3/2010. Many of you will remember that Sox, Jenkins, Booth, Dyno Don, Ron Hutter and others match raced every Independence Eve for years to a packed house.
This will be staged in "matchrace format", headsup, best 2 of 3 after cars are paired up according to ET. We hope to have 6-8 cars that fit the following specs:
1)Any model car that was popular in prostock in the early 70s- Camaro, Vega, Pinto, Maverick, Duster, Demon, Cuda, Challenger.
2) Must be period correct - NO modern scoops
3) Cars must have name such as "Canned Heat" or "Gardner and Evans", etc. painted on or in removal vinyl decals.
4) Any motor but looking for cars that run roughly 9.8-9.4 as we want to replicate ETs from that 70-72 era.
5) Engines to have tunnel ram and 2-4bbls
6) Each car will get (minimum) 500.00 "show up" money to put on an authentic early Pro Stock show- High RPM burnouts through "gold dust", dry hops, "practice launchs" from tree prior to each matchrace.
7)Car crew to wear "uniforms" like teams from 70s
8)Cars brought in on ramp trucks if at all possible that are begged, borrowed or stolen.
9)Cars/crew will have "promotional" postcards featuring photo of car and stats on back drivers to autograph and give to spectators.
10) All cars to have manual transmissions. No automatics.

Think it can't be done ? We have 3 period correct cars committed already:

1) The original "Canned Heat" 68 Camaro of Ron Hutter - now owned by John Svoboda. 427, 2-4bbl tunnelram, 5 speed Nash. Runs low 9.60s
2) The "Marfizo & Furmanchik" 73 Duster. 340, 2-4bbl tunnelram, 5 speed Nash. Runs low 9.70s
3) The "Painkiller" 72 Duster. 368, 2-4bbl tunnelram, Jerico 4 speed. Runs mid 9.70s

If you would like to participate and have a car that may fit the class,
Call Mike Loboda 440-832-0786 or email: mloboda@yahoo.com


Any Pro Stock 409 left in the 70's?

 

[petepedlar]

From another post of mine....... Be very cool if we had them all lined up by year.
Dave

park it in the show row...... That's kind'a catchy.... the show row !! Maybe we can start with the Jim's '57 ..... then all the 58's, 59's, 60's, '61's, the '62's, the '63's, the '64's...... and room for a '65 if there's one there....

I vote we put Robert in charge of the SHOW ROW....

You can put me on the list, the 63 Biscayne got some miles on it this summer.

[Fathead Racing]

I am planning to send this thread to Ken Edgar, owner of Thompson Raceway Park. We are lacking a few members who in 2009 brought their cars to race at Thompson. LET'S GO GUYS, TIME TO PONY UP!, DENNY, ALLEN, DYNO RAY, GERRY, WHERE ARE YOU GUYS? LET'S MAKE THIS BIGGER THAN LAST YEAR. I NEED NUMBERS TO GET ON THE GASSER NATIONAL TICKET.

2010 Fred Totten Memorial Shootout

Ray
Being the most energetic 409 racer among this magnificent group.
Why would you think I would not be able to attend next year.
I certainly have placed it on my schedule. So put my name on the list also.
Allen

 

[Jim409_Pontiac]

Now we're talking!!!bang
The sooner and the more names we get the better the chances are we can get in on the the track's advertising and the posters etc. That would draw even more people that might not see this site. I'm sure this could even be larger than last years event.
The list in blue are those signed up so far this year. The list in red is the one from last year. ( Thanks Jim K. for keeping the lists up to date ) Not to sound like a cheer leader but Lets Go.

[region rat]

I will be there with one of the cars. will post a picture later, when I figure out how. Region Rat.

 

[dynoray]

you better get some of the new blocks there as well. Maybe this year yet?

 

[petepedlar]

.................. rumor has it there may be an aluminum block there in a Pontiac.....



It would be so cool if it made it !!

Dave

 

[region rat]

Dave, That was supposed to be a secret!!

 

[region rat]

Ray, We're actually shooting to pour next week. All we needed was a days worth of checking. First castings were actually good but some one gave us the wrong # for starting. That made them unusable without a bunch of welding. Will have some pics when they're done. Bob

 

[petepedlar]

Dave, That was supposed to be a secret!!

Bob......... someone else let the cat out of the bag...... I heard the rumor on here..... I guess I payed more attention to that post.

Sorry

Dave
