Was looking through coverage again aaaaaannnd - . . . a Corvair (spelling?) Where did you get that......did it shrink & hide to survive tthe Ralph Nader hachet job....... .......................... tia, Peter I'm with Peter, where did that Corvair come from Cordell? I used to have a '65 Corvair and have wanted to do a few up. No really good shots of it, but that's okay there is still some work planned for it. The body comes from Jim's Custom Rod Shop. He has a descent variety of car bodies available. Detail is good on most, some a little disproportionate. Material quality I would consider to be marginal. Some bodies tend to have a slight twist, but on the site is posted a remedy for this. Love the 4G Gassers. |

OMG!...I've been asked a question? I don't know  , just kidding. The Wizzard Tire Sizer says...480, but they are obviously the wrong size. I did not win the Gasser race you did. So back at you, Peter. What size are your tires? |

Congratulations to Pretty N Pink and PCeng on their class event wins.Big thumbs up to all of the Match Race participants. Great entertainment. Not much more can be said of the great show that was put on by the Racemaster and Crew of Bear Creek Dragway. So as is my occasional form of expression I will sum it up with this graphic. Thanks for running our cars.  We're not worthy.!!!!And the same is to be applied toward our generous sponsors, thank you so much! To all participants, thanks for being a part of the NTRA Proxy Racing program. It is all done for you, but at the end of it all it is all done by you. Thanks for participating and hope you will continue to race with NTRA in future events. Wait a minute, this just in.  "The thunderous roar and heavy dust and smoke that seemed to center itself
at Bear Creek Dragway this weekend is reported to be on the move. Various
sources say it is beginning to move in a northeasterly direction. But
scientist and those who have witnessed this phenomenon before report that
the cloud usually disperses after a while and then reappear in some other
part of the country. Scientist who are just getting a handle on how to
predict such occurrences have calculated that the next appearance of this
phenomenon will be April 4 & 5. Calculations also predict that it will center
at Phantom's ATCO Drag Strip. Mixed in the cloud will be Street, Pro Street,
MM/PS, and Top Fuel Class cars. No one can explain it but where ever this
cloud appears various NTRA Class cars are often found on the scene. We now
return you back to your regular scheduled programming."There you have it, next NTRA race to take place at Phantom's ATCO Drag Way April 4 & 5. Featured at this event will be Street, Pro Street, MM/PS, Top Fuel Classes. Don't allow yourself to be caught off guard by the cloud. Start preparing now to be on hand when this phenomenon hits. Sign-up for this event to open March 14, 2014. Don't wait for sign-up, start preparing now!

What size are your tires? I don't know, really. Think they are about .450. Was running .480 wizard drag tires (reason for asking). Car would always find way of leaving slot before, if not at start somewhere before finish. Just changed tire size before race. Don't think I ever measured or I would remember. Had took a look back at past races. Cars all seemed to have smaller tires than what I had on (.480 then). Figured I give it a try. My Camaro did my usual gasser routine, de-slotted at start. Falcon with smaller tires ran best it ever has. Number of cars running at top of gassers tells me Falcon has to get quicker if it is to ever repeat. If you have timing system to test with give different size tires a try. I did so on a whim. Could not tell any difference on my state of the art AW test facility (15" pwr/plg track). Guess paid off, this time. ...................................... Peter |

Jeff,I checked out Gary's page, looks like he's got some nice stuff. As soon as things pick up around here I'll have to get some from him, and some bodies from Hairy Canary, I'm running out of things to paint.

Jeff, just a quick question, how do we get ahold of Gary? I didn't see anything on his Facebook page, maybe I missed it. Tom I have not actually made contact with him as of yet. I have an email out to him now. His info. is on the business card that I posted. I assume that those contact options on the card would be current. When he answers me I will ask what the best method of contact is. But you could try as well. I still haven't had a chance to check out the Facebook page. I am going to do that this weekend. |

Jeff, just a quick question, how do we get ahold of Gary? I didn't see anything on his Facebook page, maybe I missed it. Tom I will see if I can get a hold of Gary tonight. He was having some trouble with his email. He has some really nice stuff and a lot more than what he has on his Facebook. Since my printers don't work anymore I am going to send him some of my art work to see if he will be able to use it. Hope he can because I have a lot that is going to waste. Eventually I would like to put his decals on my site. I will let you know what I find out. Rick |
