Was that Bosely's bird? I can relate to "something wasn't right". I struggled ALL day. I never got to see John's run as I was head down in my engine compartment. I had to lift on my first 4 time runs ( I was racing in 2 classes) never making it to second gear. The car kept falling over just...

Hey John, They're calling for a chance of rain late. The event starts early so it should not be an issue. I just want to get some runs in. I bought one of those R/T Garage Revonators orange/chrome box replacements. I want to make a couple of passes with my chrome box and then switch over and...

I will be there! John, is that you?! I recognize your car. It looks just like mine (well, mostly, kinda, sorta). Joe

d0h! I am! Ignore what I said... :banana:

If you can't get the shaft, they make a little extender. I did the same thing you're trying to do and didn't have the longer shaft. I think I got my shaft extender from Mancini (that just sounds wrong...) for about $115. I found a picture of one on another forum...

Wow, you're close! You're probably the first person to correctly make the connection. George Preddy is one of my heros. When I was younger, I read his autobiography and was so taken aback with his life story I made his name my handle. It's been my "handle" for about 12 years. Preddy was the...

Thanks. If you watch the video closely, you can see a 4 speed, Hemi Cuda in lane 1 do a nice wheelie in the pass before mine. I *think* that car runs low 9s. The guy in the other lane on my pass was Dave Reitz in a 65 Dodge. Dave is a friend of mine and was one of the crew members for the Bob...

If you have the time, this is an amazing event. It is simply gigantic. People line the streets and sidewalks with folding chairs and sit back and watch thousands of amazing cars cruise by. I don't know how many cars actually come but I would guess its in the tens of thousands. I went last Fall...

Thanks guys. :) Here's a semi-private youtube video I made by strapping a camera to my rear view mirror. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlg1c4fTVfg Joe

Thank you, guys. I'm looking forward to getting to know you. Joe

Hi, I'm new to this fourm. My handle is "preddy" but my real name is Joe. Some of you may know me from other Mopar forums. I own a 69 Road Runner. I've had it for 11 years. It's A4 silver with a black vinyl top. It started life as a 383, factory AC, 4 speed, console car. I have the numbers...
