Thinking about a change of car...What class would this run?

NewHemi · 02-02-2011, 12:19 AM

You all know that I love my Drag Pak, but I was out driving in Warren Ohio for no good reason, and saw this car.

I wanted to buy it immediately, but then I thought that all I really need is the wheels and tires, since I just got my 70 Challenger Coupe back from paint.

Or I could put them on my Drag Pak. I went to 21s on the front for increased roll out, and cant imagine what it would be with these 60s. Just not sure if the rears can handle the the 1000 horsepower of my 5.7 Hemi......

Cabin fever, David?

Move south. We tested Saturday.

I'm surprised you didn't see it in Youngstown....

Nice to hear from you Stewart!

Cabin fever? Yep, racing withdrawal.......And I find it hard to even get into the shop where I have projects waiting but hate working alone.

But when the sun comes out in Ohio again, somewhere around July, we will call it summer and enjoy the week..

And Mike, Youngstown, that's right next door to Warren, so you definitely aren't far off. And I just remembered why I was in Warren. Before my girlfriend dumped me for spending time away racing, and then coming back broke, we took dance lessons in Warren. She had never danced before we met and wanted to learn, so we went... Later she again decided I wasn't spending enough time, and I suspect money on her, so she dumped me again. So after two strikes with her, four and half years, and spending nearly $150,000 on her house, diamonds, a Porsche I gave her, and numerous cruises and other trips, we are toast. Funny, but now I think I miss the money more than her from this point on. And I surely would miss the racing a whole lot more than her..

Not sure what she is looking for, but she is going to have to kiss a lot of frogs before she finds anyone as close to Prince Charming as she had with me.

David,

You wouldn't want it. You can't get good reaction times out of the chassis.

David , We have the perfect class for you..........You could buy it and match race the Monster Truck at the IHRA Nitro Jam events,but make sure it don't have any "oil leaks"....lol

Mike Carr · 02-02-2011, 01:38 PM

David, I'm about 20 minutes or so from Youngstown...I go there every Thursday with friends for pool, karaoke and drinks. And you see a lot of...'unusual' rims on cars in/around Y-town.

I think nhra will have to make a new class.
NWD (no wheel drive)
I can see any connection that would drive the car.
You will need a slightly down hill track, and a large handicap.
LOL LOL

with those wheels, which yellow would you leave on? Certainly not the third!

looks sorta like a P/P --Pro Pimp car might even be a P/PA if it is an auto trans--Comp
