Pictures from the 2009 Muscle car reunion at GIR
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

Re: Pictures from the 2009 Muscle car reunion at GIR
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) |

Re: Pictures from the 2009 Muscle car reunion at GIR
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.

Re: Pictures from the 2009 Muscle car reunion at GIR
New body for them too. Used to be a Nova if I recall correctly.

Re: Pictures from the 2009 Muscle car reunion at GIR
Rob, I think it made an impression on everybody
Dennis, Yes it was the Dunn & Gone car. I have some more picures to put up as well |

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. https://www.yenko.net/attachments/404888-gw-1.jpg https://www.yenko.net/attachments/404888-gw-2.jpg |
Re: Pictures from the 2009 Muscle car reunion at GIR
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.

Re: Pictures from the 2009 Muscle car reunion at GIR
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 http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...9/P1016340.jpg I believe our own 'PSYCO', Mr. Diesner has taken a turn at the wheel of the 'Hairy Hauler' owned by Ron Norman. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...9/P1016337.jpg http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...9/P1016338.jpg http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...9/P1016342.jpg Attention deficit disorder https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...9/P1016344.jpg http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...9/P1016346.jpg http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...9/P1016347.jpg http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...9/P1016350.jpg http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...9/P1016358.jpg And the 'Geezers' on the return road. http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...9/P1016362.jpg |

Light was becoming scarce but I had to get a few more shots. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: Pictures from the 2009 Muscle car reunion at GIR
Great pictures Dennis. Tom the car looks good. I would have been there,but went to my twin nephews brake out of high school party in Ill.

Re: Pictures from the 2009 Muscle car reunion at GIR
Great pics Dennis!

Re: Pictures from the 2009 Muscle car reunion at GIR
------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 |
Re: Pictures from the 2009 Muscle car reunion at GIR
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. |
Re: Pictures from the 2009 Muscle car reunion at GIR
WOW!! Great shots! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif
