Tried to catch up on the live feed yesterday. The Canadian Chuck Norris ran 8.77 (!!!) in the GTO. You could hear people cheering in the background of the live feed, it was awesome to see! Honk if Parts Fall Off is out, they hurt a trans and think something is wrong with the motor too. Bailey's car dropped a valve and he didn't think he could get a new cylinder head in time to finish. The Gremlin is looking sweet and pulling wheelstands as usual. MAK TV got their Camaro down to a 7.10, hope we see them run a 6.xx anything at one of the tracks. The PFI Speed guys who blew their Civic motor in half on the burnout on day 1 were able to make a pass, but they blew it up again a couple hundred feet out. Alex Taylor's 55 hurt a plug and a valve on their only pass today. I didn't see the Swedish C4 make a good pass and I think the Swedish Volvo *only* ran a 7.03.

I've been watching some of Steve Morris' posts on Youtube, along with the 1320 Video posts. It looks like it's a cool event with lots of different cars entered. Larry Larson has been posting some updates as well. Hopefully Tom Bailey runs it again in the future.

Not really a fan of these events, I'd like to see a version with actual street cars, not racecars with 1" lift cams etc that break lifters/springs etc in every event. I want a street car version of one of these with 91 pump gas only, no engine etc repairs allowed, slicks allowed to be swapped on at the tracks.

There is plenty of those too, bit they only run low 7's.



Which events? Pump gas drags? Don't they allow engine work etc?

Coke, what I meant was there are plenty of cars at these events that even though the rules allow it, that do not require any repairs to complete the event. And there is a sealed hood option where they cannot open the hood for the entire event, and a sealed engine option too. I'm pretty sure guys have gone sevens with a sealed engine. Which means they can't take off a valve cover or pan or anything. Lots of guys don't change tires.


I love how people that have never been to these events, say how the rules should be. LOL!! Basically everyone that thinks the rules should change, think they should change to fit THEIR cars, and THEN they would go to the event.

Don't like the event? Don't go... Those of us that have gone, love the events, and look forward to it every year.

I watched yesterday for awhile it was pretty entertaining especially all the different types of cars... Mark in the champagne Grand Prix that ran 8.64 lives a few blocks from me.. he puts a lot of work in that car and he does drive it on the street including the 30 miles or so to our local track for testing... I lent him my engine hoist quite a few years ago and it came back with a Super Chevy sticker on it... funny!!!

Not only did Richard Guido Drive his 65 GTO thru blizzards and snow covered roads from Canada to Florida for Sick Week, he ran 8.77 in the 1/4, he finished, but also he won the stick shift shootout. Yup T56 magnum. Now that is a true street car!

Usually there is a guy out of Colorado that does nearly the same thing with a twin turbo Ford Fairlane(?) with a stick in the same class.

We've went and spectated at Drag Week and Rocky Mountain Race Week at multiple tracks. It's crazy what shows up at these events.

That's Bangshift Billy Armstrong, that Fairlane is a 427 Windsor and is super nice inside and out.

You will always see something at one of these drag and drive events that you would not expect. Like the guy racing the Franklin, or the Mini Van with two engines on drag week. Or even some crazy guy with 8 carbs on a early hemi with a T56. There is always something strange and or unusual at these events and that is one of the many reasons they are so awesome.

That guy with 8 carbs is a little strange... Heard he brings a Tuba with him on Drag Week.

A Tuba what?
