Loaded up and ready to go to Kearney tomorrow. Meeting up with my buddy Mike Jeffrey and some other Slanted racers for our first "national" Slant race. Car sounds pretty good, but I have not had the throttle wide open on it yet this year. Guess we'll find out Saturday if it still runs or not. I took all the nitrous stuff off and will be running it as a true footbrake car. If it runs 15.0's I'll be ecstatic.



Oh yeah, Reed is also having a get together at the track Saturday. I've heard a rumor that some guy named Fred may be there with an old Duster.

The 65 Golden Commandos AWB and Bud Faubel's 65 AWB "Hemi Honker" are already here - Hank Taylor's 64 SS Ply. PLUS Hank Taylor himself will be here ! - Jerry Stein's "Teacher's Pet" 64 Ply. Wagon, Lee Smith's 66 Belv "Wackee Wagon", Gary Ostrich's 66 Belv Wagon, original Sox & Martin cars, Fred Hurst's A/Gas 70 Cuda, some restored 1968 LO23 Dart's and BO29 Barracuda's, Chick Dennino's 63 Ply. Max Wedge plus more Maxie's and Race Hemi's and musclecars from 1960-1980 and more. I honestly don't know how many cars are coming but I believe this could be interesting from the amount of emails and calls! Geoff Stunkard is already here to cover this event and MoPar Action and some independent photographers will be here too. It's $10.00 to get in the gate - usual fee's if you're gonna race. If you have a car you want to put on display, we'll have one area just for "restored" musclecars and all the "nostalgia" drag cars will be in one area - plenty of room for racers and spectators.
There will be some "heavy iron" here here in the midwest that you normally don't get to see - also, Friday(tomorrow) will be an all day "Social Hour" for incoming visitors with some drinks and lite munchies at my shop - Reed's Perf. 2011 Ave B, Kearney, Ne 68847, so come on by and socialize 'till ?? Also, we will be selling T-shirts for this event, so check with us here at the shop or at the strip, look for an enclosed trailer w/ the Sox & Martin PS Omni out in front to see Dick Towers(MatchRaceMadness) and get a T-shirt or buy some photos. Feel free to email or call for info: raremopars@frontiernet.net or 308-380-8630 - basic info at FlatlanderFling.com -- Many Thanks, Reed in Neb.

Reed,

Heading out at 0530 on Friday. I left you a voice mail stating I'd be taking Greg Lane's room.

That was Scribner that closed.

Yes, Kearney is 1/4 mile.

Getting ready to go out the door now. Hope the rains stay away.

Got mine loaded, but I wont be able to race, My"NEW" driveshaft is not true, and makes my fillings bounce out over 50+mph.

It looks good on the wagon though!!

That's Mike Jeffrey. He was the ringleader for the Slant 6 race. The Buzzin' car is a '68 Valiant. He had the V/SA Diplomat there this weekend.

Keith, saw ya on the way to Joliet this morning when I was coming home. Drove all night and got into some crap this side of Des Moines.

My car was an absolute turd this weekend. It started out way slow, slowed down more, and then proceeded to pick up on every pass after that. I won first round on a double breakout, and after dialing down a ton, broke out by a day and a half on the brakes in the second round.

Oh well, the car went back on the trailer under it's own power and we had a great time.

Reed put on quite a nostalgia show too. Thanks Reed!
