I've been making passes and trying to go rounds since '73.
I started racing my junk just in time for the oil embargo and gas rationing. LOL

I am 42 and made my first pass when I was 15. Ran my dads 31 model A highboy with a 327. It ran 12s.. It still looks the same other than some torque thrust wheels..

I'll be 64 in August, been racing since around 1968. Had a 305 Honda Super Hawk raced with a flagman. 73 i bought my 64 max wedge and sold it in 79 for 2800 dollars, what a sucker i thought. Had a 383 Duster then another 64 savoy in 92 then a 70 cuda and now i'm back with my 64 savoy. Setting it up for NSS or A/fx with a hemi.Seen alot of changes over the years some good some bad. I'll try my hand with loading these photos, hope they come in. this is the engine going in the Savoy

I was 18 in 1975 when I made my first trip down a real drag strip. I had a 1970 dart Swinger w/ a 340 and automatic. Like every other gear head, I was certain I was driving an 11 second car. I was sure disappointed when it barely broke into the 14's. Had the car until 1997. Ran a best of 11.40. Drove a friends Belvedere for a while and had some success. Haven't been on the track for 10 years. Maybe one of these days..........
