This will be our 4th DW. The wife and I are returning with our 67 lemans Covertible,
460BBC, 1974 smog motor low comp, roller cam, built from a 1989 HRM article. Refreshed last year.
Tremec 5 SPD, 3:90 12 bolt, 3" exhaust.
New features this year!
A crack free clutch fork that allows 2nd or 3rd or 4th to be found in a hurry with the loud pedal still on the floor.
20 fewer degrees of timing because it just seems healthier at 35 degrees instead of 55.
A roll bar because it might drop into the 11.00-13.50 area
And a trailer hitch. I know that last one is pretty exciting!

can't wait

[Gerrit]

See y'all there.

Unfortunately, I was unable to get my car ready for Drag Week. My friends and family have helped me so much this year to help me get my car ready, only to have my car at "Shop Prison" with the wiring unfinished. Since, my friends and I have already taken off work, paid for a couple non refundable hotels, and put in so much work to make it, we decided to bring "The Race Car" a 2008 Honda fit packing a whopping 1.5L of fury. I hope I don't keep a spot from someone that has their act together and will possibly pull the car from competition if it does so. I look forward to meeting you guys and if anyone needs help please let us know.

There is one pound of gold flake in the paint, there is also one green flake in the paint find it and you may win a prize..... This is the first time the car has had rear tires with tread. Car weighs 3250 with me in it, will weigh about 3500 once my ride along buddy "Tiny" gets in.
Car runs high 10's low 11's weather permitting. Car was originally going to be a show car occasional drag car but shows just are not that fun once you go to the track.

I'm on plan C now... on my way there now with the daily driver V6 Mustang. The GTO just refused to cooperate again this year springing inaccessible brake line leaks and a failed rear main seal last night. The Mustang is all stock, 3.9L V6 5 spd with the wheels and drag tires from my (too quick without a roll bar) SVT Cobra convert. I hope to break into the 15 second zone!

Hello Brian
I didnt want to post on here until we got there and made it thru tech. I'm from England, been trying to figure out how to do drag week for the last 11 years. I am not sure how I did it, but I'm here with my wife, daughter, and good friend Ken who I bought my race car in the UK from 6 years ago. I bought a 67 Camaro in Maryland a year ago and with a good deal of help from the previous owner am here. We couldnt figure out how to arrange transport to the event to set off from MD last Tuesday and drove the car roughly 950 miles to the event, 200 miles a day. I passed tech and did my first test and tune run tonight. Hope I make it for the rest of the week will have to see. Its a stock body car with a Dart block BBC 509 ci with BMF heads and a Super T-10 4-speed and a Hurst Ram Rod (Vertical gate) shifter. Shifter took a bit of getting used to but I quite like it now. I'm loving it all so far. Met some great people today, i'm living the dream :-)

Welcome Tim - have fun mate.

Correction- Jeffrey Ferguson is not George Gallimore's engine guy- he is the chassis guy on that car. Jeffrey owns JF Hot Rods in Water Valley, MS and does some nice work. Look him up on Facebook.
