thanks racer. i wish they werent pictures of pictures...lol. i was at my brothers the other day and took a few photos with my phone. my brother asked to drag it about 3 monthes ago and blew the engine. time for a rebuild....i missed this entire season.

That's cool Joe, who built the car? When are you going to have it back on the track again?

thanks josh. my dad has 4 cars. he races 1, i race 1, and my bro races 2. one is newly built. its a 95 camary indi pace car converted into a drag car. i guess modding runs in the fam. then he has a fiberglass 1 piece body corevette with a 5 something bb, runs 950 at 150 mph. then my brother drives a j stock automatic 85 camaro, at runs 11.34 at 120 i think. then i drive the 68...you know what that runs.


when will it my 68 run again? well thats up to dad. i could never afford to drag race. maybe later on in life, or maybe my bike build for fun in the future. but its $$$. i cant even begin to explain. he has the International, sides pop out 5th wheel that drags a 40' under over car trailer. i think he might have hidden $ when he was a cop back in the day....maybe.

well now im just rambling.....good pot....:pinch:

ill ask him....i am itching to get back in. dad spends the $$$, and my brother and i turn wrenches. my brother and him raced this year, but did really bad. maybe next year. i would have to say my lil brother is the best out of all of us. then again drag racing is a lot of luck, and a little skill. imo.

You're Dad sounds like my uncle. He runs three cars and spends cubic dollars. I'm not much of a drag racer, but I think the cars are cool. Click the link to see my uncle's Blown Fuel altered car: www.angelfire.com/tx/fuelcarfan/texasblownfuel/breiten.html

ooooooohhh. i like it. very nice.

ill try and keep an updated thread here, with all types of drag cars and such. feel free to do the same. its nice to take my eyes of a bike...., but only for a second...:laugh:

depending on this build going half ass smoothly, i am seriously debating on doing a drag bike next. well see. i have high hopes and bigger dreams. Joe

dad won!!!

Very cool thread...I was raised on drags on the west coast...San Fernando Raceway, Lion's, Orange County, and Bakersfield. I loved it.

Nice cars...I'm not much into the Super classes but will sit and watch Competition and Pro-Stock all day. Really like when the super classes started and everyone had a different way of getting job done but now...I just can't sit there and watch a car leave the line...die for a second or two...and then back on the throttle. Can't wait to get to the track this year. Been too long without a fix...lol

pulling the 468 out of the camaro saturday. gatta get back to the starting line.

Addictive isn't it!:evil: :whistle:
