Well guys I'm headed out this morning and Charlie is already on his way.  The truck will be "Teched" on Thursday and we should run Sat. morning after a drivers meeting and my "Rookie" orientation.  This whole trip should be a blast, my first time running on the salt and it will be a good test of my F-100 and the Alaskan camper going across the desert, prelude for Columbus next year. Wish us good luck and say a prayer for a good and safe run.  Y-Blocks rule!

Do you need Gears? remove the tranny and go direct drive from the flywheel to rearend. Don't some midget sprint cars run like that, have to be push started and you have 2 miles to get up to speed, that should knock off a lot of parasitic drag if allowed.

My 57 F100 is shortbed fleetside, can you just change beds?

How about an Aussie UTE body, similar to unibody but with car nose so better aerodynamics, would that fall in pickup class?
