3? :huh: What're we allowing a bunch o' little kids on here now? ;)

When I was 3, 'Nam was still going hot and heavy. Bell Bottoms and Tie Dyes were more than a weekend Greatful Dead Show fan fashion. Nixon was bugging the White House. Gas and cigarettes were still dirt cheap. Video games didn't exist. 8-track tape players were the premium option in car stereos. Broadway Joe and the Jets were the team to watch. Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin both died (followed soon by Jim Morrison who's been playing dead for the past 30+ years for tax reasons). The only things the US imported from Japan in any decent number were a few toasters and the occassional Vietnamese wife for the returning GI. Olds really built rocket cars (442's, etc.). And the hottest custom car jobs involved paintings of vikings on the sides of vans (leaving room for the crescent moon bubble windows, of course) and blown big block MOPARS and Chevys with wide rear tires on Mag wheels extended several inches out from the fender walls.

Yeah it's just a mod parts site for Korean cars

Don't feel bad Mitch, in 1986 I was 9

9? :huh:

When I was 9.....

that's perhaps the funniest line I've heard on here yet. :lol:

"the alero.... not your fathers olds.... or in daytona's case, your gramps'"

heh

kinda ot but ill ask anyway. How much would a drag strip set up cost? there arnt any in croatia, well the carting place dosent allow cars on its tracks, might be cool to open up a drag strip. call it Alero. any ideas?

You can set up a dragstrip in 2 ways - formal and informal.

FORMAL: Installation of starting tree linked to computers in a "control room", and possibly to top-end scoreboards and timeslip booth. This will be very costly on top of the expense of purchasing/building a straight 1-mile strip of ashphalt and areas for cars to line up and pit.

INFORMAL: Rental of an unused airport and have a flagman drop a flag to start the race (the way they used to do it back in the first part of the 1900's). Airports have plenty of parking and are supposedly to be 100% flat for the airplanes to take off and land properly.

I was 6 in 1986 and just started drag racing this year......but I know it is something I will do the rest of my life, it is tooo much fun.

ya bunch of old farts, in 1986, i was 1! :P


drag racing, i do it for the adrenaline, and knowing that the race actually finishes at the finish line..
