What a perfect day for racing, mid 80's and a nice breeze whenever it decided to blow. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif Funny Car

I think this guy missed the memo about keeping the funny car bodies on the chassis. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Funny car body

Reid, was that the "Dunn & Gone" car that lost the body? We were there Friday and saw it run. Also, Paul Romine scraped the wall on the last run of the day. Minimal/insignificant body damage but he screwed up the left side headers.

(I have a ton of pix to throw out here shortly)

Yes..Dunn&Gone funny car. Blower explosion early in the run which caused the body to fly off. Chassis/driver OK, and hard to believe that the body showed minimal damage.

New body for them too. Used to be a Nova if I recall correctly.

Diana and I had a great weekend. Always fun to hang with other club members. Icing on the cake to race.

I ran with the NPCA again, made it to the second round where I "gave" a race away. Still trying to get the hang of this bracket/index thing.

Racing Red Alert just keeps getting more exciting the more I get used to her. Thanks to Rob tracking down the guy who setup the rearend, we have her hooking hard now, pulling the frontend as she leaves. As she did in her former life, still twisting, but going straight down the track.

Her are a couple of pics at Gateway. The first on was my fisrt pass Friday, the second picture from Saturday. On the second pass on Sunday word was from the stands she really stood up, which is possible, as that was my best 60' of the weekend.

We were there Friday and spent the day with Bob and Nancy, Helen and Nancy, Tom and Diane, Dennis Cumby, Paul and Jeff Fansler and met (or reaquainted myself) with several of the drag racers of days gone by and got some very nice autographs on a piece of racing history. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif Great day.

Tom,

Agreed 100%. Always good to spend time with you, Diana, Helen & Nancy, Rick & Annie and we were EXTREMELY happy to see Bob & Nancy Lionberger back in good health and Great spirits. The Musclecar Reunion is a fun event, especially for all us old folks who were there to see these cars in their 'first lives'.

Here's a few of my shots from Friday.

We probably should have moved to the West side of the track because I ended up battling a setting sun for the last few shots. Oh well,...... live and learn. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif

The Geezer Gassers came back later Friday evening and elected to use the old 'Flagman' starting system. Jim Lockabee (sp?) served and the 'Unofficial' starter. Brings back some great memories as I did the same duties a number of times back in our day. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

------Wow Tom!!! You are hooking up, brutha. The old girl looks like its snapping em off now. Happy you found Gazan. He knows a bunch about that type of suspension set-up, and those 10 sec E.T.s are all about the 60.
------I have some more pics I unearthed the other day that will be heading your way soon.......Bill S

Cool..anxious to see the pics.

I have about decided the old girl just likes putting on a show. By following Gazan's advice we have her hooking well and going straight, but it seems the harder she hooks the more she wants to climb and twist.
