Altereds / Re: What did you do on your Altered TODAY?

« on: September 02, 2014, 08:21:35 AM »

I have been thinking.Almost always gets me in trouble. Since I made the fed so that the whole front end past motor can be pulled away. Leaving me with motor back. I can build another front end for it and have both altered/roadster and fed. Only thing would be how many altereds do you see with driver behind axle? Could be interesting. Altered with motor 50" out and 220# hanging out back of rearend.Might need co pilot to ride on front end to keep it on ground,any volunteers?

Maybe next time out bring your tech guy a rule book and a school book on math, Last I heard 10.20 was slower than 10.00 , you shouldn't have to do anthing til you run 9.99 or better,, Tim Jones

Thank you, vintage easier to make clean.  Quite a few of the guys from back in the 80’s no longer race.  They still have garages full of neat stuff, however, none have a funny car project… so you got them all beat : )  We added food to the race, now have a Saturday bbq at the track.  The track has a special area for us that weekend, good company, good food, racing and car show, Yes, “fun deal.”  We all have our “list” mine continually grows detours.

BBQ and race cars Count us in!!!,,  I know what you mean about the detours,, Tim Jones
