When are the Summer nats eliminations? The 28th $ 29th of this month? The countdown closk says 12 days which puts them July 7th and 8th. And the information flyer under the 2012 NTRA events says June 28th and 29th. Wanna make sure I get the cars there. And the schedule doesn't HAVE the date.  Actually, I was under the impression it was the 28th and 29th of July? I'm concerned now too, still got stuff to do to mine. Been running back and forth to the docs so I haven't had time to finish them.  Ron (Bondo)  |

Countdown page was created in January and actual dates were unavailable. Refer to latest NTRA Quarterly for most accurate dates and info. Also see dates posted on event poster above sign-up listing. |

Yea the timer shows 32 days till the race. When I click on the word count down the Summer Nats are in 11 day's. Am I doing something wrong. After putting on my reading glass's and looking at the flyer it was amazing what I could read.So the official date is JULY 28&29.

Here are a couple of pics from my shop. They show the lathe I use for tires and now armatures. The close up shows the arm suppended in air on one side. This makes balancing alot easier.   |

Good looking car Jeff!! I think you need a firmer tire. I showed you the ones that I had just done on the lathe on the AW 4gear wheel. Those are for Top Fuel Dragsters. I will make you a set that is say .550 to .560s and narrow on those wheels. If the gear continues to strip I have a modified wizard gear that we can try. The arm has a ton of torque. The car ran that .610 spinning the tires almost the entire length of the track.

Just put the finishing touch on .602s, .605s, .565s and .555s drag slicks. The .6s are going on front engine dragsters. The .565s went on custom Henry J and the .555s those are mine. Also ran my first test with new car for match race with Angry Jeff Racing. I got something for ya  |

Going to be busy today with video editing, but I need to make some flags and signs for the track. I made some new track decals but need to cover the orange paint on start line first.

Well working the lathe today, doing tires. ;D Some of you know this some may not, but on real fast cars the tire will grow in size. That means the cool decal lettering on the side wall expands. Decals don't like to be expanded ;D. Not a big deal just not as pretty after a few runs  |

In the shop today, doing more tires. I started doing tires and motors so I could give these a prizes. Thought bodies, motors, tires and decals would give me a better varity of prizes. I don't make that many drag cars my thang when it comes to resin bodies is road racing. Never made a 4Gear body until I started racing here. Ordered a new TJet Gasser body 55 Chevy one of my favorites. Gotta get those gasser's ready.

 Finished a pair of .616s, as you can see large size for the Top Fuel Dragster is not a problem. |
