HRI is GONE!

With all due respect guys, I don't race.  
I personally don't see the point spending all that money getting it on the road, then racing the guys outta it.  
Besides, its no contest, you would all be in the mirrors the whole time.
Very faint images in the mirrors.      

Well, it's probably the most compelling reason for me to stay in Hot Rodding. In the 70s, I used to drive my Y Block powered T bucket to the Castlereigh drags (well, OK, one time) with Graeme Holden, who was on the same ship as me. He ran a 12 second 57 Chev, I was lucky to get into the 15s. I reckon it's the satisfaction of running on the strip without breaking anything that's a testament to the way you put the car together. Then there's the concept of driving to the strip, racing all day then driving to a rod run to brag about your day. Or whinge about the latest engine to let go! Or both.
Anyway, drag racing is the most fun you can have in a car.

There's a lot you haven't done in a car isn't there Choco.

Choco: Either you are being very nice, or you just didn't see THAT coming.

Castlereagh, in the '70's... Didn't know Richard Motbey by any chance?
("T" altered, used to run low 9's if my memory serves me)

[On the other hand, we'll probably have difficulty seeing your flatty powered machine in the glass side of our mirrors, because the steam from your radiator will be fogging them up.    
Or maybe the Suzuki towing your trailer will block our view.    

The day I need a TRAILOR, I'll sit naked on the 32 instead of waiting for a chick to do it.[/i]

Mythgow says to a chick: "Please, sit on my '32".
Chick says: "No, not without a trailer!"...

(Well, she could have just said "Cluck"...)

Its good to see things haven't changed, its like being at HRI.

I reckon I could push my OHV powered '33 and still beat those flattie guys!  

And I rekon you would have a heart failure before the flattie does.
Sorry carps, I know you have one of those really good engines but I think youre "pushing it" a bit far now.
