NHRA "Wally"

[parker ed]

Cal Tracks are pretty damn cool. I have been out of the stuff for quite a while...15+ years. Two years ago I was tasked with doing a 350/TH400 swap in an S10. Did an 8.8 with 4.10's out of an Exploder with the Cal Tracks stuff the customer brought me. I set them up like the instructions said, thinking they were just modern traction bars. Holy shit! 1 kit and a trans brake, that shitbox ran a high 10 off the trailer. Times had changed. Leaf springs are no longer a major limitation. The guy sold it before he got it really sorted, but a real eye opener for us aging street racers.

This car went 8.77 @ 133 clicking it about 900’. The class only runs 1/8 mile.

Thank you all for the kind words, been dreaming of earning a Wally since I was a kid. I’ve been trying to see if I can upload a video or two not sure if this will work but I’ll give it a shot.

Nice!!
We don't run the summit series anymore, mostly just do the nostalgia races. Hit me up if you guys go to the ANRA or west coast race in a couple months.

If we get some updates done we’ll probably be at the next West Coast race. Definitely look for you guys again. Congrats on the Wally!

So we've been to the track the last two weekends finishing up the 2019 season. Last weekend the kid won the West Coast Hot Rod index championship.

And yesterday won B-GAS at the California Hot Rod Reunion. Can't believe how cool this kid is under pressure!! Wally #2

Congratulations to your son, and especially to you, for the time and effort spent to build not just a fast hot rod, but a wonderful relationship with your son.

Taking the class win at the CHRR is a moment you and your son made into a lifelong shared memory. That's even better than the Wallys.

I brought one home when I was 20.
Had a .006 light and ran dead on 6 to win it.

Congratulations Jeff , you gotta be pretty damn proud !

Yes sir I am, and like an idiot I'm working on my car again trying to get it ready for next season. Gonna run the same class as him, probably won't work out to good for me!! Lol

Thank you.
You are absolutely correct, memories and time spent with my son is priceless...

So we ended last season on a pretty good note winning the last race of the NHRA heritage series Hot Rod Reunion. This year is starting off pretty good, the little shit won the season opener for the heritage series this weekend at the March Meets.

[rivermobster]

How awesome for him!

Thank you. We spend a lot of time on the little stuff to make the car consistent and we're not afraid to try different things.

 

[rrrr]

That's just friggin' awesome. I haven't ever been involved in drag racing, but I know from my involvement in other types, that when you've made it to the top and won a championship, the other racers are all focused on beating you. Staying out in front of the pack takes a lot of hard work and requires nothing less than perfection.

Good job!

Nice meeting you and your son on Saturday, congrats on the big win. The car is bitchen, you guys have done some really nice work. It looked like he was mowing down the tree in the first couple rounds!

Thanks!!
It was nice meeting you too. He was definitely on the tree all weekend!!

We ended the NHRA Heritage series this weekend in Sacramento. It was a double header because they canceled the hot rod reunion scheduled for October.
Well..... my kid did it again!! He’s the new series champion. Couldn’t be more proud of him!!
