Found this while looking around the videos for Qualcommm 1/8th mile dragracing

If you are in San Diego, I can recommend the following museums, the Air and Space, and the Automotive



Fantastic static display SR 71

The first truck of the Mack production line in 1922, and solid rubber tires, no innner tubes, chain driven





Cool custom convertible




Friday night 1/8th mile races at the Q. (Qualcomm Stadium for out of towners)

One fast full race Grabber Maverick... like you'll ever see one again.


67 440 6 pack Coronet

And a v8 dual quad Volvo, someone has a warped sense of humor and spare car parts here.

The fake cop car... like they would get a regular daily cruiser on the drag strip





The 1931 from Old School Hot Rods.. on a Model T frame, so it's actually streetable I suppose.

Waiting for tech to look them over... all they need are NHRA standard rules compliant for their speed. Seat belts, pants, shoes, battery hold down, no leaks, a radiator over flow catch can... the usual.

Sept 7 at the 1/8th mile drags in the Qualcomm parking lot, West side, Racelegal.com sponsor

It was fast 5 minute turnarounds at about 7pm, but the crowds never slowed and I left at 9pm... lots to do.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=pJ3THp8w_zo is a huge smoke signal from a couple of months ago, same plaec, same car
Lots 'O smoke to get some haet in the tires. Consistant 7.84's all night with a 496, auto, 3.55's, and ladder bars all linking together the slicks and the Indy heads.

For a good demo of how to make smoke from tires and horsepower.... here's Fred making a cloud http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=8355582

Pardon the fuzzy shot, but the camera ain't expensive, just easy to use.





A semi candy dark blue, looks real nice! Dig the late 68 plates for a early 69 Bee. Must have been a late fall sale.

This is all that is left after one night of fun with a 496 cu in Super Bee.
