Happening this Saturday at Yellowbelly. Gates open at 9am. I never raced here, so not sure how the track will handle the power, but looking forward to seeing a bunch of old school hotrods and having fun!

Some small car shows, but nothing big that I am aware of. Last year they had a big No Prep Drag Race at Kennadale (south of Dallas) where a lot of the OKC Street Outlaws raced...no camera's, just racing. I will keep looking and let you know.Comment

JT I wouldn't race that beauty at that track unless they let me run solo. Its very narrow and slick.
Cnut I wouldn't waste a trip from CO to hunt deer east of Dallas lol. There about the size a medium size dog. I'm afraid you might be disappointed.Comment

Rocky, on the contrary this deer was shot there by the guy who invited me. He says the area hasn't been hunting in 20 years:

Jt did you make a run at yellowbelly?Comment

I did go, but it appears I have ruined my torque converter! Yikes! It was fun...some nice and fast cars. When I originally had the converter done, my plans were for a smaller engine, smaller blower and lower boost...well all of that changed. Will be back on the road soon. Thanks for asking!Comment

LOL let me rephrase the question. Now that you have seen cars run at that track would you run your baby at it lined up next to another car? Its been 30 years sense I was there watching a weekend race and at that time there was nothing even close to the HP your running and they got pretty loose at times. My older 2 cuz more like an uncle mentored me in hotrodding at a young age. He grew up in GP and that was his home track. He told me stories of running a T- bucket with big block and breaking the steering link on the way down the track. He said he won the race and had to get out and kick the tires around to get it turned off the track and back to the pits. Back in those days late 60's and early 70's they were running junk yard BB that cost 75$ to replace and didn't care about getting their car messed up it was cheap to replace also.Last edited by rockytopper R.I.P 5-13-2017; 06-10-2015, 07:18 AM.Comment

Rockytopper, I am sure there are some pretty cool stories, near misses ect...I would roll out on the starting line, then put my foot in it. That race is during the heat of the day, so having an asphalt track...its just a peddle fest!Comment

JT to bad your ride is on the blink. Gas Monkey Live is hosting a car show Saturday and Drag racing Friday evening at Ennis this weekend. I have never heard of the sponsor but they are claiming it is a national event and folks are coming from the east and west coast. May all just be hype who knows. I'm thanking about taking my cutlass out Friday night and see if my (skinny buddy can get her in the low 13's) lol. With my big self driving 13.71 @ 101 is the best she ever done to date. Here is the link to the event. http://gasmonkeybarngrill.com/event/...n-muscle-meet/Comment
