Re: The new flying dutchman!
 

Raced at Numedia dray strip yesterday, sat. It was a good air day. Mid 50s, temp. The car ran in the 10;40;s all day, doing 130 Plus MPH, to boot. My best time was a 10;46 at 130;57 MPH. I got treed the first round, but no red one! Thanks for the support! The Dutchman

BBBenny........The 9's are only a little $$$$$$$ away......Spend BBBenny Spend!!!!!

Re: The new flying dutchman!
 

Nice! Good job!

Re: The new flying dutchman!
 

Way to GO bbbenny,10;46 et at 130;57 mph,you got it now.

Re: The new flying dutchman!
 

you either Bulb or get treed Professor. Do I see a young Jed-I in that drivers seat?

Re: The new flying dutchman!
 

I'm not up for the GForces Sammy! I have only hit those kind of speeds on 422 at 3am! And it took more than a quarter mile. That was a one time shot! Never again. 103mph at 13.8 was my official time at Maple Grove in my 4spd. I have since found out that my distributor was bad. Some fine tuning on a Mallory dizzy should help the time drop.

I guess I will have to wait until spring to fine out?

Re: The new flying dutchman!
 

there are other tracks than Maple Grove to run at. Its good air, get it there Jed-I. You are capable of running the Professor's car. A couple easy time shots and you will be ready. Whats the Prof have to lose? He can't get past first round anyways. HA!! LOL

Re: The new flying dutchman!
 

The only way to get pass the first round, is to keep trying. bbbenny will get it. If some else gets his car past the first round,how does that help bbbenny. The car can do it and bbbenny can get it done.

Re: The new flying dutchman!
 

I am with ya Paul but Benny is getting real old! He said he is barely able to see the tree at all lately! :>(

Re: The new flying dutchman!
 

Bbbenny you better defend yourself on this one! Lol. I can see this being a good one for Sammy to play with all winter.

Re: The new flying dutchman!
 

I know he is able to win big money, Drag Racing At Beaver Springs Track.

Re: The new flying dutchman!
 

Here;s my reply on the issue of drag racing. I do it because I like it. I might not be the fastest guy at the track, but at least I;m out there racing. Ed Hedrick drove for Jenkins in the late 60;s. He;s still racing, and he;s 74 years old. Comments from the pits, always have all the right answers! The Dutchman

Re: The new flying dutchman!
 

Who is Ed Hedrick? Your right Prof...arm chair drag racers, who needs em? Glad you guys are saving drag racing!

Re: The new flying dutchman!
 

bbbenny has the best reason. bbbenny also has my vote.

Re: The new flying dutchman!
 

you are right Paul. keep that carb tuned for him, its working.

Re: The new flying dutchman!
 

I really enjoy spending time with the professor and all his friends at the track! We always habe fun, win lose or draw. The drag strips play a tune that you just don't hear on the radio and the smells that can't be cooked up in a kitchen and not too mention, lessons that can't be learned in a classroom.

Next season will be a good one for bbbenny for sure.

Re: The new flying dutchman!
 

I put the hood scoop on the car, last week. I had to put a set of hood pins in the middle of the hood. The hood was lifting up in the middle, on the top end. I ran at atco on sunday. Good air day. First round, good lite, but I broke out. The car ran a 10:41 ET at 130 plus Mph. Thats the fastist it ever went. Thanks The Dutchman

Re: The new flying dutchman!

Re: The new flying dutchman!

That's why I am the PR man. Just wish I could be along for all of bbbenny's adventures! Dragstrip lunch isn't that bad. Chicken strips and fries can be mighty tasty!

Re: The new flying dutchman!

Re: The new flying dutchman!

This is a 4.310&quot; bore 496&quot;, correct?

Re: The new flying dutchman!

As long as you're sending shirts to Iowa, put a 3XL in there with the delivery and I'll get it when I go to see my car.

Re: The new flying dutchman!
