Last race tomorrow

It seems there is going to be one last race. Tomorrow in Saskatoon @ SIR. Weather sounds good, all on. Spectators beware of the GREEN MACHINE!!!

Times..

When we woke up today with SNOW everywhere, it was hard to believe the previous weekend consisted of drag racing!!! USUALLY we AREN'T plagued with snow mid Spetember. BUT that's what we got and that is THAT!!!

So here are the much anticipated times of:

Sir Delbert in the 65 Belair

The car ran very consistent.

2 of the passes were both at 12.136 seconds and MPH were 110.56 & 110.65

Reaction time was .023

This track was slightly slower b/c of elevation. Incredible improvement from last race here, though....see previous posts of the SWIFT CURRENT DRAG RACING TRACK.

This I fear was the last race....weather has taken us to the end of this season. We'll keep you posted with something interesting all winter, though....just wait!!!

In the Allan blood???

Seconds b4 the garage door wacked the hood....ooops


I sincerely think there is something in the Allan blood that causes an addiction to speed. Even little Renee, Ben's daughter (the other brother), squeels in delight when Daddy starts up his Beautiful 52 Chev..."Jelly Bean." The whole ride you can here "GAS...GAS..." How many toddlers know these terms?!?!?

Sorry, still waiting on the times from Saturday's race...enjoy in the mean time!!!

This car is still street legal...yippee!!!

This one sat and watched today...last race it was going down the Q-mile. See previous posts.

PIT PASS

As she pulls ahead.....
Lift time
Man does this guy LOVE his sport!!! :)
Digesting his times....
Every racer needs a "PIT CREW"

Time slips are not in yet, but the images are here!!! Heading out for the weekend, thought we'd post b4...doing some biking in 'Toon town.... www.badcross.blogspot.com for details later this coming week!!!

I'll add the details of the Swift Current Drag Racing Association's season finale as well!!!

Have a fun weekend.

Next Race, September 9.2006

the nova....
Trani is still being completed, waiting for parts from the States this week...starting to look sketchy if this is going to be completed by the weekend!?!? :(

However, the Belair is still in tip top shape to spin the remainder of the slicks off!!!

Race on Saturday

Saturday, August 12, 2006 DTDR, is "dragging" the pit crew and their fan club to SIR. A new cam and slicks...and perhaps misc. other fine tunings should bring some nice results to the

4-door....... We're still waiting for completion of the torpedo....THE NOVA!! Oh well, the Belair should steal the spotlight for as long as it can!!!!

Saturday, July 29,2006 VERY HOT!!!

True Competition: Father and Son!!!

Fast cars were retired for today. The boys brought the street cars instead.

98 Camaro and 05 Mustang....my Mother's I might add....which Father dear got to drive to the boards....what happened to my ride!??!?!

14.3 Camaro

14.6 Mustang

Start them early...in the livingroom

The little cuz's decided to race...on July 1st weekend. Haden is finally starting to hold his own beside his older cousin Renee.

SWIFT CURRENT DRAG RACING ASSOCIATION

1965 Chev Belair

The hardcore "DRAG" racer.
These tires died today.....

Highway 332 patrol...finally legal...no "RAT" racing from Cantuar!!!

Saturday June 24, 2006 was Swift Current's first drag race in a very long time. Turn out was INCREDIBLE, both spectators and racers alike!!! Lots of fun and SUN!!! Enjoy the photos. Bob's car is still in the "making" stage, but Delbert got 9 solid runs in. You will see some DRAG amigos' cars as well. Lori Bakke with the black Camaro and Guy Roche (sorry 'bout the spelling guys...) with the Falcon and the red Camaro (I believe). Comment the years and details of your cars and times, too if you wish!!! :)
Delbert's Stats on the 65 Chev Belair:

• 9 passes total
• best run was 12.41 @ 108 mph
• car was beautifully consistant the whole day!!!
• lost the first round in the bracket race with red eye...oooops!!!

Thanks for the GREAT show guys!!! Maybe see some ladies out racing soon!!!

RACE UPCOMING!!!

(Watch out for this mean boy coming down the track in the four door torpedo!!!

What a styling do for an old fart!! :)

Good news!!! Little Swift Current has pooled its resources and put together its first DRAG race in MANY years. I might add "LEGALLY."

SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 2006

Swift Current Airport (Not an International one..hee hee)

Gates open @ 10:00 am (race til you drop or your car...whichever comes first)

Fees???? That I don't know.

Comment on this post if you need more info or EVEN if you have this info.

GOOD LUCK!!

jh

BOBBY will be getting POUTY....

Better post some of the other progress. 2 posts in one day!!! We are on a high speed roll!!!

Bob has made a few changes in engine size for the time being. Should still produce some VERY low numbers.

ANY SPONSERS out there that want to help some QUALITY racers???

Comment on this post your information...we'll see if we want your name on our cars!!! :) lol

Won't comment too much...just post some pics of what's going down....the 1/4 mile soon!!!!

jh

NEWS FLASH: We hear word the NOVA is going to be sporting some "ROUGE!!"

STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFO!!!!

Friday May 19, 2006

This race definately got more runs out of the Belair. She ran better...yippee!!!

RESULTS as follows:
60 FT. 1.77
E.T. 12.264
MPH 108.497

There was improvement here...but ditching the hood and scoop (the venturi effect was happening) is going to be the thing that puts this car in an even faster bracket. That is why the Friday night race is called a "test and tune." As the season progresses so do the CARS!!!

The two pics are from the previous race. "Jennifer Affleck" is new to the SIR spectators box...so had to post her and her enthusiasm for speed. The other is pretty self explanatory on what going on here!!!

FRIDAY NIGHT RACE, May 5, 2006

Ran 2 passes but it didn't run good because the altenator wasn't charging. Low voltage doesn't make enough spark for high RPM's. Also with higher compression my mecanical advance springs are too weak so too much advance at idle creates a bad idle.

Time slip:
Reaction: .044
60 ft: 1.86
E.T.: 12.489
M.P.H.: 107.731

We intend to have these little problems resolved for the next race.

We'll keep you "posted."

2nd Part of Double...

Welcome racer #2. Monty Lane....better known as BOB. Has known some tough times in racing...especially when your JUST completed car burns to the ground.

1972 Chev Nova, 427 big block...potential to run 10.2 s @ 130 mph.

(see 2nd photo)

Life stopped cold for a few days after the fire. 1 year later another NOVA is in the making.

1970 Chev Nova. Alcohol injected 489. Potential to run 9 s @ 150 mph.

The actual numbers will be proven soon...first race May 5/06. Not sure if this beast will be ready. The first trouble will probably race first.

Good Luck.

(We'll add progession photos soon!!)
