I am going to No Problem Raceway in Belle Rose, LA tomorrow to meet up with the Southern Gassers for there spring meet. Looks like the weather is going to be great. I sent the information to Robin and David Church, hoping they can make it, Ted has a prior engagement with the "Big Dogs".

We had a great time at No problem this weekend. Both David and I ran our best times ever in the 1/8 mile and the 1/4 mile. David ran 7.21 in the 1/8, I don't recall his 1/4 mile time, but he said it was his best ever. I ran a 7.91 and a 12.56 for my best ever.

Glen. Congrats to both you and David for a successful weekend. Would have loved being there myself but I'm gearing up for the upcoming Topeka NHRA race helping out some friends with their own rides.

For those of you that do the Facebook thing, check out Southern Gassers on facebook. Lots of good pictures are being loaded up over there. And while you are there check out the ODRR (Old Drag Racers Reunion), some good pictures and very interesting information there.

Not Y block powered, but a cool old car. The first person who can identify what it is wins the grand prize!

1/2 point Chuck, I should have disqualified you because you have been over on the Southern Gassers facebook site. The center of the car is 37 Dodge. The front and rear sections are 40 Willis.

Actually I didn't see it but the roof line is definitely MOPAR. But the front and rear sheet metal would have fooled me. Chuck

It fools a lot of folks, I never did figure it out even after the builder gave me a few clues.

There's a nostalgia race at Maple Grove this coming weekend. It's my first race this year.

I felt out of place this weekend at Maple Grove, seemed like everyone was a 12 second or better car.
We got 2 time runs on Saturday. Best 16 reactions on the 2nd time run advanced. I had a .056- not good enough.
My last 2 passes at Columbus were 18.12's. My passes at Maple Grove were 17.60, 17.34, 17.26, 17.39. I went red in the 1st round today. Seems like I have a 17 second truck now?

Do they have this race at this time every year Dennis? See you in Columbus.
|
|
By pintoplumber - 10 Years Ago

|
Glen, I think it's always the week before Columbus. At least it's been that way the last couple of years. Do you have a bell housing ?
|
|
By Glen Henderson - 10 Years Ago
|
|
Sorry Dennis, all the bell housings that I have left are for three speeds. You are welcome to one of those if you need it.

Aaarg, red light again in the 1st round. I hope I got that out of my system now.

We had a great time at Battlefield this weekend, the Church brothers were there with their cars and we had the Rebel Rouser. We had a mini shootout with the three cars, we flipped to see who got the bye. I won the toss, so Robin and David lined up for first round, Robin beat out David with a good light. I ran Robin next round, but he went red handing me the round. I still ran a 8.14 on a 8.10 dial with a .027 RT so I would have won even with the red light. Sure wish we could get some more cars down here for this event next year, we are treated well by the owner and he really appreciates the efforts that we are making with the Y Blocks.

Gary, you need to put this one on your list for next year, I will try to do a better job of getting the word out early.

I thought it was in October for some reason.
Let me know as soon as possible and I'll make an event for it on the Facebook page for next year.

OK, I am logged on to another computer, still have not got my windows 8 to work with the new update, about to through the thing in the trash. Went to the ODDR this weekend, it was a great event, meet some of the old time factory drag racers and Mr Charlie Gray who was in charge of Ford"s racing efforts in the sixties. Took the falcon to the track Sat night but was having a problem with the starter, so just loaded up and watched some racing. As always the Y block drew alot of attention at the show and at the track. I will post up some pictures if and when I get this computer thing fixed.
