hi allen,
i've heard of madras,oregon. my boss drag races there sometimes.
his race truck is priscilla. a 1950 f1 ford that does wheelies. off the line. he mostly raced at woodburn drag strip. i was thinking about trying my circle track hand at it just once. w/ my ranger but, it would be my luck i'd blow it up, and then i'm screwed.
then my wife would kill me for blowing the truck up. then i'd had to listen to it all the way home on the back of a wrecker. for a 100 miles.
we raced at Banks, oregon. a few times, this year totalled my buddys street stock out there.
you mentioned that you have 4 race cars? or the #4 car? just asking.
me and my wife both have stock cars. she wants to run the womens division out at st.helens. mine is a 1968 dodge coronet w/318 and 360 heads [aawj] comp cams extreme energy 274 duration 488 int lift 491 exhaust lift. and 7.3litre ford diesel valve springs. the block, rods, pistons are stock. out of a 82' fifth ave. that was plug up.
it has piston slap at 2000 rpm. you can hear it. w/904 tranny and 373 gears
my wifes car is a 1973 firebird w/a 1971 chevy 350 4 bolt. out of a 1971 chevy pickup
same cam, lifters and push rods, chevy dual spring valve springs. .030 over new pistons,rods, clevite tri armour bearings. 2v and exhaust manifolds, 2 1/2 inch exhaust.
w/flowmaster mufflers. powerglide 2 speed tranny and the rear diff gears are?

sorry didn't mean to ramble!
