Time to throw some Gassers up. Gassers were the first cars to set the hook in me for my drag racing passion.

I am not sure what class this car was in but it was a big hit at U.S.30 for a while. Either way, what a picture !

Post somthing from the garage, the "What did you do today" in the Gasser thread is pretty thin, it is almost like no one is working on Gassers?
I have a Grasser Racing Serries meeting today at 1
-
I think the gasses are so far and few between beacuse of their being so hard to find a good one and so costly to build one. I have a friend building a more pro street leven willys, I will toss it in there.

My friend Mike Sietsma built this 4 years ago and is a regular at Picton Airfield. He said he wanted to capture the 1960s style gasser.
Power is a 331 Chrysler hemi, Isky cam , 650 Holley coupled to a Volare overdrive 4 speed twisting a 4.10 in a 57 Ford 9 inch.
Car runs as it would have in the sixties. Not an old car with a modern KILLER but built as it would have been back then. Why? Because that is how Mike wants it.

PS for photos of Mike and his gasser with Bob Beazer see Sean's Project, Facebok.

I just scored this from a seller a couple months ago. Not many of this car running around.

few more from the closet
Hard to decide if this would be a gasser or an altered class car.

A perfect description of drag racing back in the day. People just hanging out, most were friends with the same goal of going faster, having a stress free day.

Ya me too, we were born just a little too late I guess. Now we can do it in old style better built iron but it just costs 10 times more to do.

This is my Gasser from the past. 1961 Ford Falcon tilt frontend, 383 SBC, with a Racer Brown T400 into a 9 inch Ford rearend. The front axle is a Ford pick up part with the drum brakes. The car is all steel. I got the Falcon in a trade 7 years ago from a guy in the Chicago area. The car was built in the mid 60's by 3 guys who worked at a Ford dealership in Chicago. Every nut and bolt has come off the car and replaced with new/safe parts. The original 6 point cage was found to be muffler tubing. It was replaced with a 10 point CM deal. Those are the original crome reverse wheels and Cragar's. It's a fun car to drive. Best times are in the mid 10's at 130 ish. I haven't raced in the past couple of years. I've been saving for and building a Ford AA/FA.

Very nice and an inspiration to get started on our 49 Gasser which has been sitting waiting attention for two years now.
I have made the decision that our racing season is done for this year so this weekend the engine and transmission come out of the dragster and the dragster will get stored for the winter.
That means work on the Gasser starts in two weeks.

Thanks, the cars a blast to drive.

A couple more

Vince the car looks good. How is the AA/FA coming? Put up some pictures in the Build section.
