Popular Post 41chevy Posted May 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2019 After all the 168 pages (of B.S.) were filled with the D.H.S., three face to face interviews and 5 inspections of my nostalgia funnycar project, my blown 55 chevy and storage bunker for the drums of fuel. I GOT MY PERMIT TO BUY UP TO 550 GALLONS OF NITRO METHANE FUEL A MONTH !!! 8 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57240-took-only-17-months-and-28-days/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyGunner Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Alright. Better post us lots of videos Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

j hancock Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I don't see a prohibition of a rocket blast zone within the town limits of Gorham, ME according to their zoning rules as long as a rural/agricultural use can be shown for said area.

The Kaase Boss 9 Pro. 820 ci 7.25 comp dual MSD Igniters,12/71 BDS blower @35% o.d., 16 injectors, 2250 GPH dual pumps through an ancient Garlits drive 2 speed. Good on his dyno for 2700 h.p. on 70% nitro and should be at 2000+h.p. at 50%. Average 5 to 6 gallons a run. Big block in my 55 is set up for methanol but can run 25% nitro if I dare. 800h.p. methanol to 1000 h.p. with 25% nitromethane. All through a double disk clutch and a M21 close ratio box out to a '57 Olds rear with ancient Getz 4:88 ham with welded spiders and scary old school Hurst Airhart front disc's with 57 Olds rear shoes . 2 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57240-took-only-17-months-and-28-days/#findComment-422951 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting.... I'll be running at New England Dragway in Epping N.H.close enough for you to see parts fly or Old Dominion in Virginia. No more home track in N.J, since E town closed down. Probably race mostly in New England, don't like being in N.Y or Virginia at all since my wife passed away.

Andy I'll most likely make the first shake down runs in 2 or 3 weeks on friday and saturday to get my ancient Garlits Drive adjusted up and get used to it's handling.I'm track limited to 7.00 /200mph til I get an updated dual chute system. Come in as my crew if you want, it's only me, my daughter in law and grandson. Ones a back up girl and the other is a tire wipe. As a nostalgia funny it is a traditional self starting unit, 35% Nitro with the balance Castor oil and Methanol.
