Just got back this morning from the HAMB drags. All I can say is WOW! Met T-Man and Travis Horton also several hotroders with 348's in their roadsters. T-man has a really cool T tub with a 348 with 3x2's. There was every kind of old hotrod, custom, dragster and all of it was metal. No fiberglass please and not a billet anything anywhere. Lots of flatheads, nailhead Buicks, early Hemi's, inline Chevy's Cadilacs, Olds and W's. It was just like stepping backin time about 45 years. Some of these people got in their Rat Rod and drove 1500 miles sitting on a blanket. No money was given just some trophies and you never met a bunch of nicer people. I think I could have made a good showing in my class but just as eliminations was starting I threw a fan belt and when I put it back on it came off just as soon as I run the RPM's up. I raced a women in a 54 Chev with a 283 and she beat me. It was a healthy 283 by the way but anyway if I would have had another 100 feet I would have beat her. I went over and said I would like a rematch and she said to her husband,'' see, I told you I beat him.'' Her husband said that was the first time on the drag strip for her. I said she beat me by about a car. She gave me a big hug,Oh did I tell you she was a drop dead gorgeous blond of about 25? It really made my day I'll tell you.
