  • Anyone going to watch Rocky Mountain Race Week, or the Meltdown Drags?

    I'm heading up to the midwest next week, hope to catch some of the RMRW action before participating in the Meltdown Drags (at Byron). Anyone else headed up there? I hear the Car Craft nationals is going on the same time....

        RMRW should be streaming live for all to see. In a related story the is something going on at Facebook about Larry Larson's Chevy II getting called out for a grudge race on national TV this weekend.

          Next weekend is the Car Craft nats in Milwaukee, WI and the newly re-named Street Machine Nationals (formerly CC nats) at the Minnesota state fairgrounds in St. Paul. We'll be in MN Friday and Saturday.
          GM G-bodies, because I can't afford a 69 Camaro.

                  RMRW is almost over, they race in Denver tomorrow. Meltdown said they had 550 pre registered, but I know a bunch are not going to make it...I'm already here, car is at the strip, I'm at the hotel. Ready for some dry weather tomorrow, and go make some noise!

                          I'm about 30 minutes north east of the track. I was planning on making it there this afternoon but ran into some unexpected trouble as couldn't make it. Hoping to get there tomorrow.

                              I raced this red AWB Chevy II....he was just a tad quicker than me, ran high 9s.

                              Behind the starting line. you back into the water box. This area is a major east-west thoroughfare, so you have to drive carefully! Neat old track, they used to run it 4 wide.

                              after I ran last night, the car was hot, I found a water leak at the intake. Might see if I can fix it this morning.
