MAXTON - June 27th & 28th

[Monster]

Well the May meet is now in the record books.
We had one 3/4 mile oil-down and two stops for rain, but overall a great racing weekend even though it was called at 12:15pm Sunday due to a front moving in.

Only 5 weeks to get your junk ready for June, so get busy !!!
;D

Guess I'll jumpstart this thread with a few of my pics from the May meet this weekend.



At Tech Inspection ...


A really cool, badass belly-tank Lakester, it's for sale !


This one is really skinny, not for most of us fat-asses !!


Took this pic of a sweet Straight-Eight with a Blower at the Starting Line during one of the weekend's rain showers.
We dried the track and kept racing !


This is a really cool '60 VW Transporter that hauls their racin' bike ...

Oh, by the way...

Jimmy Shine came out to Maxton this weekend to race in Jesel's coupe (he managed 201 MPH and some change and was inducted into the ECTA 200 MPH club and earned his Green Hat).

I got the oportunity to chat with him and he told me about his new show on the Discovery Channel, called Weaponizer.
They get to screw around with big guns and ordinance and blow sh!t up in the Navada desert and he said it was a blast (ha, ha pun intended).

Jimmy said they incorporate some heavy stuff into crazy cars and vehicles and go to town on some junk.
Anyhow, it sounds like a hoot and worth checking out.
I'm gonna !!
;D

Weaponizer cast with guns: Jimmy Shine, Andrew McLaren, Rusty Oliver, and Cowboy.


One of the zany Weaponizer vehicles ...


.. and the mayhem that ensues !!!

Re: MAXTON - June 27th & 28th

23 more days to go - get ready to pop and air dry that laundry !!!



Apparently, the Firecracker's new motor is on the K-member and with a little help from Dave (std) and Kurt Urban the boys managed to massage it to fit with the bellhousing and the motor and trans should be in the car and wired up.
Luke, Seth and I hope to earn our "B Licence" this meet.

I'd be pretty sure he bought it at K Mart if I wasn't there when it was presented. I'm trying to convince myself that I don't look good in green.......

Re: MAXTON - June 27th & 28th

Working? No I am not remodeling any houses while I am there ;D I will definitely be volunteering. Bringing my own leaf blower no more broom jockey for me :D Hoping to hang with Kim for at least Sat morning. Racing? The track officials would have a serious problem with all the fluids my junk leaks. My undies would have a serious problem with the drum break pull I can't seem to get rid of. Not that I am terribly worried the thing is a giant sail. See you there.

Who else from the forum is going?
