I get to go on Drag Week again!

[Freiburger]

They've already planned tracks and dates and are working on the route. I'll let you know when it's contracted and official. IMO they are late announcing it again so I'll need your help spreading the word!

[ProRauder]

Sweet!!

Is it in the midwest again?

:D

[drilr]

Hurry up and get the tracks and dates published, at least, the route can be done later ::) I am sure that between this board and Hot Rods and the crazy Chrysler guys the word will spread quickly. Please do not make same mistake as last year when it was announced in the magazine that registration was open on the web, but actually wasn't up and running for at least a month ??? I think some of the guys that were 'impulse'' registers were lost.
David my offer of doing anything behind the scenes still stands. I imagine you are going to be very busy when you get back, let me know how I can help and also their are several others on the board who have also volunteered.

[seered]

I see lots of full page advertising in hot rod for the power tour and the late model DRAGS but not a peep about drag week other than the coverage of the 2008 event.
We all need the dates so we can start scheduling our time off of our precious sacred jobs.
Cant wait to hear the plan for 2009!!!

[Bamfster]

Light a fire under their a$$....need to plan my vacation time, it'll be my first.

[usmlsmk]

Count me in if back in midwest agian. This little S10 will probably make that purple duster find a new class :o :o

[JeffMcKC]

Now that left a mark, hey Eddie you have a bloody lip. :'( Its on already!!

[73fish]

Hay Jeff are you ready to go to the track yet? When does KCIR open? I am sure it's at least month before HPT.

Talked to him tonight. He is not ready yet(surprised?) ;D
Track opens Feb. weather permitting. See ya there!

[JeffMcKC]

Yeah I am not ready yet, storing parts for a thrash in the spring. Wait till your kids hit 13, all sports all the time then they HAVE to go to all the High School games too. Plus I am going to add a little more power :o, but will leave the motor in it till its sorted a bit, then change heads and intake,,,,, and cam,,,,,, and pistons,,,,and ,,,and. ::)

[walt reynolds]

I finished installing my 40lb flywheel, new clutch, polished the car and it's ready to go. I'll probably be taking the Camaro instead of the Nova because it still needs a lot of work. Dragweek was not the same without you there. I'm glad you'll be back.

[purplecobra]

new clutch is a good thing. Bring a spare this year It was soooo rough using Mr Johnstons lift last year that we will have to repay the hot rod gods by doing a road side change LOL not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

[CDMBill]

Back in the Midwest and maybe a bit shorter too? Cool!

[V10Mercury]

Its great that DF is going to be back at DW 09.

I cant wait!!!

[purplecobra]

It would be nice to see the F Bomb blasting down the road with Wes hanging out the window taking pics! 8)

[JeffMcKC]

[ksj1]

[walt reynolds]

[CDMBill]

We are sure as hell hoping to be there this year. As usual it will come down to the last minute thrash.

Dave, can we assume you will not be Competition Director at Engine Masters this year after all?

Come and race, drag week is not just about going fast its about beer in parking lots of motels, road side fixs and gas station hot dogs

[JeffMcKC]

For me its about meeting guys even Crazier about this stuff than I am. Kind of like a Treky convention for Cars its just glad to know that your not the only one sometimes.

[purplecobra]

Yep, we all are kinda crazy. have ya given any thought to a set of wheelie bars? lol ;D

[fabricatordave]

you know up is NOT forward it is halfway towards backwards

[JeffMcKC]

Thats a myth Dave sorry to bust it the energy lost on the way up is found on the way down err ahhh if it comes down :D

[oldsman496]

do all you guys know how lucky u r?....If anybody needs a trunk monkey, lemmee know......i work cheap.

[ProRauder]

Thats a myth Dave sorry to bust it the energy lost on the way up is found on the way down err ahhh if it comes down :D

That would be true if you were stationary, but you increase your frontal area to wind drag, and *that* slows you down.
:D

[seered]

Admit it Jeff you are sloooow. ;D

[milner351]

I'm hoping to be on Seth's crew for some of this mahem - since it's so close - I really hope I can make it - at least for the first weekend.
I haven't run at Martin since college - before it's major re-do - it will be interesting to see what it looks like there now.

[JeffMcKC]

I will let my hired gun drive this year. I am a much better Jimmy Prock than John Force.

[ksj1]

BS Jeff ;D You just dont like going to the dentist ;D

[JeffMcKC]

I still have to get a cap done had to pay for my new heads first.

[seered]

You are not going to ask me to do those enemas again to lose 10 pounds because I just refuse to do so? ;D

[ksj1]

Thats way,way too much information Doc ;D ;D

[LS1 ZR2]

I haven't run at Martin since college - before it's major re-do - it will be interesting to see what it looks like there now.


I had not run Martin in the past, but last summer we spent 4 days there doing the GMPP Crate Engine test with Hot Rod. The track was amazing. They did a great job preping the starting line all week long. We made more than 120 passes over 4 days, and the track was never a issue.

[JeffMcKC]

Hey Doc lets not start unfounded rumors this is the net it will be on Drudge in the morning

[ksj1]

If it is true you should never have a 'Shitty attitude" ;D

[seered]

Maybe a kidney or partial liver donation (wait I will be needing as much liver capacity as possible during drag week), yes that is probably good for 3 or 4 pounds off the total car weight
