Race report - watch out, lots op pics inside - 06/21/10 03:10 PM

Hi guys & galls,

Just thought to share you'll what we've been up to this weekend at our 1st event of the year with all build / rebuild / updated cars in different classes. Because of this and a lot of downtime due rain and accidents we're only able to make about 5 runs but so far all of the work paid of with new pb's and meanwhile much more to come. Underneath a couple of photo's of how we do it during the events.


Couple of shots of the trailer we've built the last half year to carry 2 of the racecars and give us some luxury during the events.














Ofcourse we also brought along some cars...

1970 Roadrunner w/ 500ci wegde 727 tf - running SSC






1970 Challenger w/ 528ci Hemi 4-speed - running Pro ET


1970 Superbird w/ 636ci Hemi 727 tf - running Super Pro ET




1970 Charger w/ 440ci Wegde 727tf - running SSC



Little photo sequency of the superbird and the challenger...

















All in all except for the Charger there isn't any damage or what-so-ever. Only a couple of minor "new car deseases" we will work out and go back to our 2nd event coming July. Can't wait to improve the times. Charger has problems with the blower itself and the carbs and didn't came under the 12sec while normally running 10's. The Roadrunner came as good as an 10.30. My Challenger could get an 9.90 on the first run after the license runs but has some fuel problems after the launch. Shooting for low 9's next time. Last but not least the Superbird came to 8.50, also with lots of room for improvement. But not bad for all those new projects we've done.

We had a blast!

Yuck, just get regular sanitary and blast it lightly before painting it. Then get some little chevy, ford etc. decals and apply them in the lower part...

We've painted it lime green and plum crazy pearl.

Great cars and pics. Seems like the closest to central Europe we'll be coming to drive this sumeer is in Malmö Power Street Finals. However, I'll be coming to Amsterdam on thursday for a vacation!

@ Yuck Yes my buddy started with a 69 RR glass body and converted it completely into a Superbird. Basicly only used the roof part as everything else is modified.

@ Rowin Well I'm sure there are many more at your side of the water but we definetly can't complain about the quality of mopars we have over here.

@ Tig We still plan on the EuroFinals at the Pod but by that time you have seen them already after our upcoming Drachten events

Wonderful, never thought of a superbird as a drag car, but this one is cool.

Wow, I'm dumbfounded.. Those look completely killer. What a race team you have going on over there.. Any engine pics? You would blow people away if you pulled that rig into ANY event over here.. Congrats. That, my friends, is a ton of hard work.. Good luck..

Awesome cars Im glad to see more people making Superbirds fast like they should be Im liking the fact that you have Kendall as your sponser/oil as it hits home with me as my Grandfather was a big distributor for them in the late 60's through the 70's. Looks like a lot of fun Keep up the good work. G
