Who's going, whatcha got left to do, and what car are you taking?

I know MoparBillys brothers are getting ready.Told them it was to early as they usually start on Labor Day weekend.LOL.

I am, 68 barracuda fastback, 410ci. I just need to swap center sections from 4.10 to 3.73 the week before. Then just pack stuff to haul. Probably run the valves the week before. Fixed an annoying slow trans leak. Found a bad rear wheel bearing swapped that out. Not much really. Goal is to run quicker than 11.99 in the heat.

Dragweek........ def already missing the blow-by-blow reports..........delivered as only MoparBilly could.

Only 2 weeks to go!!!!!!

Is there a list of competitors posted anywhere?

Im going 69 dart in small block na. Have a bunch of small stuff left to do. I had it running a few months back but decided it was to slow.

I wish I could go.......If I had not got laid off this year, the car would be closer. I learned I need better cooling and to truly do drag week I would have had to go from a roll bar to full cage, and I would need a trailer and hitch....Other than that, I keep thinking that one of these years I am going to make it.

I have to live thru you guys and your stories...

My Dad and I are not going this year, we decided it was too far away and while the tracks were awesome we didn't think that area and traffic would be a good time for a couple of Okies. I have been real lazy in getting my car going this year, but right on schedule with Drag Week I got it running, had a leak, then found a cracked converter snout. So it kind of feels like drag week prep lol. The difference this time is I put a empty trans case in it, dropped it off the jacks, threw the cover on and pushed it into the corner.

Really going to miss Billy's recap this year. His recap was awesome even if you were at the event!

billy will SURELY be missed this time of year for MANY, MANY years to come ! i'm sure he is giving the big MAN upstairs a blow by blow account of why this activity is indulged in by us mere mortals.
drag week will NEVER be the same without billy.

Only a week or so left.....Crunch time!!!!

To those that know me from DW I ask that what I post here stays here.Since 07 Ive raced,crewed,drove the route 10 times.Missed 05,06,08 and 18.My son lost his battle with the "C" word in Feb.Once you go on DW you are family and theres nothing they wont do for you and I cant thank everyone enough for the calls,texts etc.Id love to attend the whole week.Tracks Ive always wanted to see etc.Looks like I'll be at Cecil on Tuesday and at some TT Nova wagons house party on Monday night.Think his name is Frank Sapanaro and theres some YouTube vidioes of his wagon.LOL.When I missed 08 my wife told me never again would I not go in some capacity.Something about me being an A$$hole

I'll be watching for the live feed

I barely passed high school so dont expect a big right up from me. I did spend most of the day putting wipers back in my car. So that means it will not rain the whole time.

Dont say that.. I was trunk monkey for my buddy in his 52 Ford PU truck.. he has the stock vacumn
wipers on it with I think were the original blades.. and we pulled out of Milan Detroit headed to
Pennsylvania we hit a bad rain storm(was a tornado about 10 miles ahead of use).. we finally made
it but we played hell most of the say... the next year we had new wipers and blades

My Wipers were the MVP last year for sure! That and my air cleaner cover from the baking aisle lol

Now that is drag week ingenuity...

I have bin chaseing a oil leak in the bottom rear of my engine. Had the oil pan out to reseal it still leaking. Took it out side for a ride today. Came back stared cleaning the garage and found the plug from behind the cam manged up in the corner under a bench. Guess i also figured out what that weird crunch sound that i heard one day was.

As close as it to EVER,I can't pull it out of the budget.It remains in the bucket list.Guess I would have to put wipers back in
