Heres my first picture from the 2012 Detroit Autorama.  Just beyond awesome, just looking at this car made me wish that the altered class's were still around in the big leagues.  Even though the older cars were a lot harder to drive and a whole lot more dangerous, they just were so much more exciting.  Long live the days of professional racing before you had to have a major sponsor and a million dollars to just race 1 car for an entire year.

This one is purely for the enjoyment of the watcher.  The title;"Old man steps on dyno roller" pretty much sums up this entire post, so without further to do the video.

There are just those amazing days when you get lucky, and at the Detroit Autorama, yesterday I got to meet one of my heroes.  I met Dean Jeffries, and he is just an all around nice guy, and it was just amazing to hear him talk.  He even signed one of my designs, it was just way to cool.

Beyond all doubts, Ronnie Sox was one of the best racers of all time, and his tuner; Buddy Martin was one of the best tuners of all time!  The duo reigned terror throughout the 1960s up into the 1980s in Stock, Super Stock, Pro Stock, and for a while even the early funny car eliminator period!  Their race hauler seen here around 1971, just shows how far the sport has come.  Personally I like this look so much more then the modern day race hauler look where everything is done by a body wrap procedure instead of actually painting, not to mention that the actual tow rigs looked so much better back in the day as well!

Well some people would say that yet again another good chevy has been destroyed because of this, I say that its the exact opposite of that.  This in essence is the very foundation of hot rodding, its taking whatever you want, and doing whatever you want with it in the pursuit of speed, be it on land, water, air, or in this case mud!

bangshift.com has this really really awesome gallery which includes 52 pictures of old school style gassers, and actual cars that were raced in the gas classes back in the day.  Well worth the look!

Rotary+Nova??

To some people this is just wrong and the idea shouldn't even come up.  Well In my opinion its so right!  The nova has a 13b style rotary motor in it making over 550hp at the wheels and runs 11.0s at the strip well pulling the wheels.  Not bad at all!
