Meltdown Drags

[La Hot Rods]

Coming up fast.
Had plans for two car but was just running low on James (if you know what I mean) so going to leave the Charger at home and just have so tuning fun with the BA409.
The nice thing about this race is that you can't get put out the first round witch I seem to be getting good at.
If you didn't pre register and live close come by and watch.
There will be night racing.

These guys pour there souls into this race and what it to be like cars of the 1966 era.

Entry #88 will be there
#87 will not
Hope to see some of you there.

No runs on the car yet ?

 

[Ishiftem]

The car is doing good. Just not my kind of event to run at for various reasons.

I'm signed up, got to get some different wheels.............mine are too shiny........

Anyone have a great idea on what to use to cover up my raised white lettering on my tires??? Within reason, of course.

 

[Ishiftem]

Drive along the curb. That stuff will rub right off. Or black shoe polish might work.

 

[Iowa 409 Guy]

Duct tape.....my buddy Red says.

Black Sharpie marker will dull down the white. If you're getting new wheels and using the same tires, white letters in?

 

[Iowa 409 Guy]

Hi Jim

White letters are on front. I'll probably put the slicks I have on now on the new rims I have to run at Byron, and put a new set of slicks on the wheels I usually run. Mary's birthday is next month

I just used thinner to remove the letters.

Here they are.



Just kidding Keith. Don't have any yet. Going with plain old steelies.

Must need Special Glasses. to see them.

 

[Jim Sullivan]

New wheels and slicks, what a great birthday gift for Mary!

I have 15X7 steel wheels on the back of my car (I call them wagon wheels) they can be hard to find but they were on my trailer and I needed 15X6 forit and have had a hard time finding them.

 

[Iowa 409 Guy]

They don't like the new steel wheels i showed them and I ain't going to spend $350 bucks for a one time use of wheels i won't use otherwise to please them. That will buy me a new barrel.

I'm out.

Was looking forward to it.

 

[Ishiftem]

What could they not like? Do you have any pics or examples of what they don't like about them?

Seriously? What a bunch of wankers.

They make the rules. They said I could bring my car up to show...........ain't much of a show guy.............. I guess I go to a shooting match instead......Not the kind of shootings that have been on the news lately either.
