Only made it out once this year with the car, but I do race! Now if I would just leave my car alone, I might get out a little more, but as you can see by the mis matched wheels, it is an ever changing project. (Yes, I KNOW I have Jeep Cherokee wheels on my car...)

Not much in the last two seasons, but I have won bracket races in four decades. I hope to make it five in 2011.

I race more than I post, lol. My Valiant has been apart all year(for work I can't do). And since I like racing so much, I bought a cheap brand x to keep racing this summer.

Am I in the "DRAG" race section?

Where's the "race" section for those with 1"+ TB's who like to race back to the starting line, sometimes turning the wheel and using their brakes when they must?


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Every chance I get....I have been very fortunate the last two years as my engine builder lets me race his cars...Last year it was a 416 powered '65 Dart, and this year a '70 477 cube Hemi Charger and my little green D100 Vette Killer..Over time, it doesn't appear I have lost the knack for cutting an awesome light, so I will probably keep doing this until I do.

For next year, he has already purchased a chassis car and a 512 Wedge and has all the trans parts...Looks like I am getting my license.

OK, OK. Here I go. I've had my car for awhile now. More than 27 years. I street drive it around 300 miles a year. It's only gone down the track, honestly, probably less than 200 times now, in 27 years. About 50 times since I've started having kids. It's gotten faster and quicker, and now they yell at me when I get on it for not having a rollcage. I can not even be in the same room with most of the conversations that the "racers" have in this forum. Some stuff is unbelievable. I still get mixed up when talking about crosstalk and delay boxes.. However I don't think I stick my nose or noise in when I know I can not imput something positive. Over on another site, there are ass keyboard jockeys telling Billy Glidden he has no chance and is washed up.. unreal. I feel those are the folks you are trying to address.

I do, however, feel I can positively attest to, and can bet that I have made more wiresets than anybody I know.. and can even give a certain insight and correctly offer my opinion to many ignition related queries. After all, Our business started on Moparts. I will always remain loyal to you guys(as long as you'll have me, and I keep making clam chowder).

Chris,
The day someone doesn't consider you a racer...is the day I want excluded as well!! When I look at that purple Cuda in the other lane, YOU are the one I'm trying to beat, regardless of who is at the wheel.

I do and love it TT or race
hears me winning Nostalgia Gas in our little nostalgia group $200 and a plaque but it only costs us $25 to race $15 for the track and $10 for the pot
as we do our own deal.

month later winning Nostalgia gas on a real cool 1/8 mile. Think it was $120 and a Plaque was 186 miles away cost me about $170 for gas in the truck but It would have cost that anyways.

I was MOPAR before they were cool, and racing before most of you were born. Go out almost weekly to find the weak link in the Barracuda. I've learned allot on this web site even if there are some people on here that don't know sh%*.





I was racing in Gulfport and LaPlace in the late 70's Drove a blue 68 gtx that said highpockets on the doors. charles Addcock was the owner of it and he had cancer, My car was a red 70 road runner, so I ran his and mine. He passed away a couple years later, not sure where the car is now.
