Drag Race Fans... look!!!!

[drrman]

I've helped a buddy who raced, was good as hell too, won rockingham a few years ago. Drag racing is a lot more complicated than most think. I have also ran my bike down the strip, not a drag bike, but still fun as hell

I share the interest as well dballer....But alas, I am a die hard Mopar man at heart.

I've been working on my 71 Hemi-Cuda at a friends garage for a few years, as I get the extra cash, I do a little more....each time I do more, I think of more I want....Cars is a never ending hobby...

But lucky for me, I'm pretty close to Carlise Pa. and attend the car show as often as I can....

A muscle car is a wonderful thing to behold indeed....

And there is nothing on earth that compares to the rumble of a 426 Hemi....Gotta luv that!!!

Ranger,
You do have a point... and a good one at that.....

BUT!!!!

I would most likley say that a ZL1 Chevy motor would be about as equal to see or hear run... it is about as hard to find.

Now I got to see a BRAND NEW Hemi tonight out at Barnett Racing here in Atlanta. They have one put together in the showroom... and I must say.. it looks good... real good!!

I was not aware that you had a Hemi car... that is impressive.. if the motoer is apart.. or out of it.. would you be soo kind as to post pictures? I will try to put up some of my rides in the near future.

4 seconds???? we're not talking 1/4 are we??

4 second quarter mile, Christ! I don't think light travels that fast! No I'm sure it 0-60 in 4...

You know my SS camaro will be ready to go this year!! And I am in a new city, so I will get to check out some new competition.

I want to add something great here...but don't know anything about cars. My Craftsman riding mower has like 14 horse power though...

Hopefully by this summer dballer....I am missing the intake right now....You do have to admit, looking down at that engine, with those damn big heads, and the spark plugs jutting out of the valve covers is truly amazing...

I do have pics of my Uncles car...a 69 Shelby GT500....428 Cobra Jet....Red, nice car....

Also, the guy helping me with my Hemi has a 69 1/2 6-Pac Dodge Super Bee.... 5 star rating all the way around, and exactly 11,400 actual miles on it....One of the finest cars I have seen.....

I also like Chevy....I have had several Camaro's over the years....67, 68, and a 69Z....only thing I didn't like about them was how light they were in the rear end, running a 4:11 gear I had a hard time coming off the line whjile playing around.....

I'd like to get another older Chevy and play around with it....easier to get parts, and cheaper than hooking up a Hemi....

Peace,

Ranger

Ranger ask your friend if you can post some pics of his bee,i have only saw one but it is now in bad shape due to someone breaking into the shop where my buddies car was and the super bee happened to be there and they beat it up pretty good
