The newest drag racer gears up!

No worries there - he's as republican as an 8 year old can be

Good deal Marlin. The boy looks like he is havin' a ball!!!

We're getting closer! The 12.90 engine is on, and the punch list is much shorter. The NHRA license is here, and the big shed for the back yard came at 6am this morning (need to stash Danny's '67 Camaro, and get it out of the box trailer!). Looks like we just might make it to the track this weekend for the inaugural - most likely will be Maple Grove, should get 3 runs in.

Got a logo designed and installed - old school, hand cut, layered vinyl done by a local guru:



The 'little' 12.90 Raptor engine, I hope it runs somewhere close to 12.90 - these things are hard to slow down!



Got the 28mm carb fully attached, slick billet parts galore on these Jr's



I won't be able to keep little Danny out of his car now that it will be stashed in the new shed, we frequently find him climbing around in the car if/when I leave the trailer door open [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]



Can't wait to see Benjamin go down the track for the first time. Will post more pics when I can. It's been an extremely busy 3 months as we thrash our way to the starting line, I need a break - Benjamin wants to go the ECF's already!!

Thanks, if all goes well over the next few days, I don't think either of us will sleep much on Saturday night - Jr's run first on Sunday morning, right before 9am ('cause their 'quieter' [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] ).

(And how about a couple of pix of the big ol' smile on Dad's face when he makes that first pass. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] )

Fun times ahead M. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]

Good luck, and stay safe. And....trust me, as he gets older, it will only get more expensive. RACE (Racin Ain't Cheap Entertainment), but it's a lot of fun. Tell mom she needs to get a job to help defray the costs of you're racing program. See how that flies. (big smile)
