About the drag strip, I have anti-freeze in my engine. Is that allowed, or do I need to drain and fill with clear water ? I will have a catch "can".



Also need to fill out the registration and get it mailed...

Please send in your Registration as soon as possible it would be a good idea just to put water in it just for the safety of you your car and other cars because of the amount of time it would take to clean up only if there was a problem beyond your control it is always helpful and you will be able to make as many passes as you possibly can and would like to enjoy

Freddie I will have to get with Amy and she’s on vacation in regards to the updated list

Registration will go out in Monday's mail.
I'll have to see if there are drain spigots on the block to swap to water. This is a complete, used, engine I bought and I don't recall adding them.

If things work out there will be a Boss 302 Mustang, Boss 302 Cougar Eliminator, '67 Corvette 427/435 and a '69 SS Chevelle joining us. All are 4 speed cars. I tried to get a GT 350, Hemi Super Bee and a '66 SS Chevelle to join us, but they can't make it.

[Too Many Projects]

I would be thrilled to bring my '66 SS, as is, but with an all new drivetrain and 1 mile on it, I don't want to mess up a spankin' new clutch without a break in period. The body is just a shell yet, so not streetable to drive and get miles on it...

You can bring it and be easy on it. There is no rule that you have to run it hard. Some guys just make easy passes just for the fun of it. I've asked several people to join us, but some of them tell me that they don't want to abuse their cars. I try to explain that they don't have to beat on them just to have a little fun. Casey had so much fun with his Stinger a few years ago and it was running 20s. I don't think anybody had any more fun than him that year. A lot of guys show up and never make a pass. They just show off their awesome cars in the pits. Last year we had a Motion Camaro that was not finished. It was parked next to me in the pits and people came by all day to look at it.

I hear ya Freddie, but knowing myself, there is no way I wouldn't want to turn that beast loose. I could leave the wrinkle walls at home and abuse the street tires a "little".

Oh, I also have a pair of Towel City Pie Crust cheater slicks I bought for the '54 gasser I was going to build. They are on the back in the pic I posted...hmmmm.....now you got me going...
I need to go out and pull the brake drums on the trailer to see if I need to replace the brakes. They didn't seem to be helping much when I brought the '54 home last weekend.

[Too Many Projects]

Trailer brakes are toast, over greased and broken wires. Ordered all 4 NEW backing plates.

Next remembery issue is the car has never been aligned since I had the frame powder coated. I just tape measured and level plumbed it when I assembled it. Might not be fun fighting a severe pull at 100 mph. I'll check with the shop manager in the morning and see if they can squeeze it in before the 20th. It's nice having a state of the art, laser, alignment rack and VERY experienced rack man at my disposal...
