Last year was full of vintage drag cars racing each other. It is heads up gas classes, what could be more fun. We have a challange this year, Y-Block vs the Fugitives drag race club. Saturday we get to beat up on these guys and Sunday is our Y-Block Challenge. See WWW.MELTDOWNDRAGS.COM for more info. I would sure like to see as many Y-Block cars here to share the fun beating up on these guys.

I wish I had pictures but I was toooooo busy racing and figuring things out. Jerry Christenson beat Bob Martin for the shootout win. Bob broke out and I don't know what Jerry ran. The Fugitives beat us bad, hell I think that Jerry was the only one who beat any of the Fugitives. It was way too cool seeing all the old classics run. As for me I did beat 4 of the challengers during the outing while trying to figure out how to run with different tires. But Sunday I sucked!

I did run the red bird Friday at their test and tune session. They would not let me run it during the Meltdown because of the rims even though they did have some prone to break down GM FED's without era correct rims run in an exhibition class. It ran 9.5's at 139 MPH. It has a 5.8 rear ratio and needs to be something lower for the 1/4, it must have been designed for an 1/8. I go thru the lights over 8000 RPM.

Charlie,

They have to look era correct from the stands but anything else goes. Most all of the cars have later then 1966 drive trains and they even use trans brakes at the line.
