I remember seeing that stuff on ESPN when they were desperate for stuff to cover. Looked absolutely wild.

Has anyone ever wandered behind those cars right before they punch it? :D

Re: NSDA Sand drags this week end!

Nope... they know better than to be directly behind them... ;D heres some pics of my buddys jeeps, both BBC powered (red one is 470CI, green one is a 540 on oxide)

Re: NSDA Sand drags this week end!

Man, I really want to get into that. Too bad we'll be at Baja 1000 this weekend. Is NSDA's site the best hookup for local sand drags? Is it all bracket racing, or is there any heads-up action? 100 yards, right?

[bb70duster]

Re: NSDA Sand drags this week end!

yup, 100 yards... Its really a blast, great track, great crowd, I wish they were more often... There is heads up classes for the really fast stuff, but most are brackets. They race at Soboba, Primm and Yuma... Full scedule at www.sand-drags.com :D

Re: NSDA Sand drags this week end!

this one coming up should be awesome. i have been to the yuma ones a couple f times and they are always great.

Re: NSDA Sand drags this week end!

Yup, should be good, just dumped my motorhome off out there, and roped off some pit space... People are coming in already and racing isnt till friday! Well... back out to the garage, I still need to swap gears, carb, and ditch some extra weight (street trim) :o

Re: NSDA Sand drags this week end!

OK, Mike--tell me if I'm sniffing glue. I have one 72 Duster that I got for $200 and it's almost complete junk. If I Sawzalled some room for some small paddles, threw in a junkyard 360 on nitrous, and gutted a bunch of weight out of it, is there any reason it wouldn't be competitive in the brackets? Is it too low for ground clearance on the track?

[bb70duster]

Re: NSDA Sand drags this week end!

Dave, Nothing wrong with sniffing glue, or those big fat black markers! ;D The duster could work, weight would be one of your enemys, you would need to do alot of sawzalling, the standard tire out there is a STU 20.00 (20" wide) on a 15" or wider wheel... There was a back halfed camaro out there once that was pretty cool... I think youd be ok height wise, if you look at my buddys red jeep (above) its only 3" or so off the ground and it does ok... You should just sell me all your Dusters for a low price and buy a jeep! Or better yet, buy a larry minor body and build a drag jeep under it... Theres a few out there 14-1500 lbs! one with a wicked blown small block! mines a tank at 2500lbs!

DF just twist those front torsion bars until you get the gasser look.

Re: NSDA Sand drags this week end!

This would be a blast to go to,and i plan on going some day.... Here is some pics of my new longtravel sandcar as it's being built...It has a twin turbo 5.3 that makes 630hp on pump gas and 750hp with some good fuel and a little more boost!!!!!!!!I hope to have it on the dunes in oklahoma before the end of the year....Chad you and Dave and the rest of the gang have got to make the trip next spring to "do the dunes".. Several of my friends have longtravel cars,so the line for rides should be short!!!!




And it should look kinda like this but with some killer airbrush side panels

Re: NSDA Sand drags this week end!

So how about an update on the sand drags event. Did you go, Mike?

Re: NSDA Sand drags this week end!

I love what you cali guys call junk. I bet that dusters body would be considered pristine here.

It makes us cry what you guys in the rust free southwest sawzall up.
