Just wanted to drop by and say Hello. The Administrator of the site helped me out abunch with mine, and since this is car related I just had to join up.
Now for as long as I can remember, ever when I was 18 and sold my 68 Grand Prix to a guy for a Demolition Derby Car, I thought you all are crazy as all get out..... I still do !
What makes anyone want to build a junk yard beater, re-enforced with large round tubing, I Beams, Diamond plate, knock out all the glass and go crash into someone on propose, is beyond me. I see those cars and think, Now there's a crash waiting to happen.
But actually, I have to hand it to you all. The things you do to try to make your car the best on the field, and your attitudes even when things don't go as planned and you're the first out. It amazes me.
I am a Drag Racer and have been for years, so my building of a car is somewhat different. I build for speed, long parts life and show quality, and my cars usually costs more. However we all enjoy auto sports, so we all have that in common. I have enjoyed reading a lot of posts here and will make this site a frequent stop of mine.
keep your radiators covered

...........It's called LEGALIZED ROAD RAGE....... ;D I like that statement, but I just watched a couple In-Car Camera vid's here. NO WAY ! Not me people, I ain't doing that, You all are Crazy. These events should be sponsored by Chiropractic Clinics. We have three Drag Cars between my brother & me. Mine is a 69 Chevy Nova with a 415 c.i SBC making 750 HP without nitrous, brothers is a 96 Chevy S10 ext cab with a SBC 355 c.i Alcohol Injected motor. Then we have a Front Engine Dragster that had the 355 c.i motor in it, but it's now waiting for the 406 Blown SBC we are building for that, it should run around 170 mph. Oh and my brother has driven that Dragster through a garage wall at around 80 mph, a pick-up inside the garage stopped him. Here's pictures of our stuff

Or use alaskadrags.com
Scott, the sites going good, I wish more of our local racers would find the place. But at least now I don't have 70 spammer members advertizing for Viagra. I'm still learning on how to make changes with design & colors, but I've had ZERO problems since the move.
