Dave I remember a 59 or 60 BelAir that went by the Name Wooly Bully. That was when I was very little, walking the Pits holding Dads hand.
JJ I lost most of my cars cars I had saved from those times by not paying rent on a storage space. Old Love letters and a bunch of other stuff that at the time I parted with. We would cut school and race slots at Gary Hintin's house. Oh Boy that was a long time ago. I like when you see a street Gasser, straight axle car that has been built or restored now adays, 8 track player. It brings back the names and memory's.
Today you see a nissan GTR that can launch all four tires at 6th rpm's and grab traction right off the line, next up is 500 HP mustang stand up on the rears. Love that to. Guess Im a Hopeless Romantic. LOL.

Nothing to funny here with my Camaro doing a wheelstand but I let my son take it down the track and it pulled his foot right off the accelerator when it launched. Car would 60' in the 1.20s which would give you a kick in the pants.  68 Camro wheelstand |

I got mine in the mail yesterday. Should be there Tuesday ? Bill you thought you was the King of procrastinatorsđ I didnât start tuning on them until Saturday then packed them up and go to a city that the post office was open until 4. And my little tuning session didnât go so good. My t jets are faster that my 3 gear cars that all was running poorly, and I wanted to do some gear changes on my inlines but ran out of time. Thatâs what I getđ

Pete, I remember the wooly bully car also. Don't know if it's the same car or same name. I seen it race at either Norwalk or drag way 42 in Ohio . The copper color wooly bully on the side was burnt in my brain for some reason lol.

Clive,
no worries!
there are no time constraints for starting this race as I am quarantined and laid off my bus driving job anyway.
if I must start a day late or so, that will be OK and I don't think anyone has a problem with that.

The mail seems to be very strange at the moment. I ordered some spares from two people in the States three weeks ago, they both supplied tracking numbers. One arrived in seven days and the other has not left America yet  . I have checked the tracking on my cars and it should be good as there are some giveaways in the box.  |
