Fresh out of the Neil & Parks shop...

For those of you who crave fast inline 6's, check this thing out! I will have to get the details from Frank on this car, but the pic was so cool I had to post it.

Re: Fresh out of the Neil & Parks shop...

I wish I had more info on the car. What I do know is it was recently completed at the Neil & Parks shop in Burlingame, Kansas for Mike and Pat Nahn to run in NHRA Competition Eliminator. Frank Parks and his son, Scott, build and race some of the coolest front engine diggers on the planet and Scott has been almost untouchable in his Junior Fueler, running his small block Chevy powered machine in the 6.70 range at almost 200 mph. The car shown above was on their web page and I thought it looked rather tantalizing, so I posted a pic of it here. If Frank shows up at Heartland Park this weekend, I will ask him about the car, but he rarely shows up for a bracket race.

Re: Fresh out of the Neil & Parks shop...

more details please!!!!! that's badass. A buddy is building up a jimmy motor with a big honkin turbo/EFI combo, to run at Bonneville in a year or two. Straight sixes are different and cool!

I met Scott and his dad at the March Meet a couple of years ago and they are very cool guys.

They obviously build some beautiful racers too.

Neat piece.

Here's a photo of Scott (the kid dead nuts in the middel) and his dad (to his right) in the March Meet winner's circle...a place they are really familiar with.

Here is a slant 6 that we are working on at our shop. It is in a 74 Duster.Not sure of the spec on it yet, but my boss did tell me it ran 13's with the old 6 in it.

Re: Fresh out of the Neil & Parks shop...

That Duster is trash-tastic!

Freiburger, it honestly strikes me as something you'd come up with.....Speed, post up the pics of that thing in a separate thread.......and don't forget "Joe Dart"....


The N&P digger looks cool....would like to se a close-up of the engine.

Re: Fresh out of the Neil & Parks shop...

Anyone who would put their time and money into an inline six is positively insane! Who would know better than I? I LOVE the oddballs, and for me, half the fun is finding/making parts to see what you can get 'em to do. Good luck to this team, and I hope any extra, abandoned parts fall my way.
