Bring granny! Anybody 102 would qualify for a seniors double discount!

Dave That's me in the bottom picture blocking your shot of Matthews car! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself and hopefully the track allows us the opportunity to have a race next year. You two guys and the other enthusiastic fans and racers made this a real treat for the group of us who organized...

Just over a week away is the Mega Ford Weekend event held at Mission Raceway east of Vancouver. Check the website for info. There should be some spectacular cars racing and showing there. www.megafordweekend.com For more info email me here or one of the links at that site.

Cold and snow is no reason to put a heater in a heater delete car... wear a jacket and gloves! :p

Little things can make a difference such as temperature and altitude and gearing. On a Ford 9" rear end you can get a 4.56 and a 4.57 ratio. The tooth count is different and the 4.56 is slower because there is more drag.

I think you'd do well to call Kaase before buying that "stroker kit". You need a special block that takes a 4.75" bore and has a huuuuuge deck height. Don't expect any normal 460 parts to fit it. The IHRA motors Kaase builds are usually in the 812"-815" range. Before the 815" limit there was...

Two more cylinders, you are getting closer! :) Looks nice and it's just begging for a set of Cobra R wheels to spiff it up.

By the way, you coming to Mission this weekend Macdaddy? It is a long way from SK but there oughta be some good competition in the 10.5 class. Rules are simple, 11" max tread width, 30" diameter and 3000lbs minimum weight which includes driver.

I'm in Ladner. The bracket rules are only safety rules, helmets for 13.99 and quicker or in all convertibles. No missing lug nuts, that sort of thing. On faster cars there are more rules, roll bars, scattershield and stuff for 11.49 and quicker. Cars that are nearly stock usually don't have...

Yep, i saw a couple good matchups this past weekend. Rash had some blower belt problems but both cars seem pretty evenly matched. We'll see more of this at the Ford race less than two weeks away!

The Test and Tune class will be called "Trophy" , you can specify at the entrance gate which class you want to run. Cars in the "4 Round Enduro" (i didn't choose the name! I still call it True Street. LOL) will need to be in the regular event classes. Several of the featured cars ran at...

There will be a test and tune during the day on the Friday as well as a Friday evening street legal event on the 34th. You can run on Saturday or Sunday as a test and tune for $43 either day but this is not in eliminations so no prize money. We are finalizing sponsors for all the classes...

We have the payout confirmed now. The Pro 5.0 class will pay $2500 to win, the 10.5 class pays $1250 to win. The rules are pretty loose, anything goes in either class with the restriction in 10.5 being a maximum tire tread width of 11" as measured and 30" diameter and 3000 lbs minimum...

My 2 cents, and just stop me when i've used it up... Chrome Bullitt wheels look awful, i like them just as pictured. Spacers?? Naaaa... there is a far better way. Use a 67-70 rear end, bolts right in and is an inch each side wider, no spacers! 8" wheels on the front of a 65-66 look like...

The overdrive ratio is so tall you can run 5.14's without harming it's highway manners. 3.73 is almost ideal to me, it turns 2500rpm at 85 mph in 5th and yet 5th is still usable down to 50mph. If you went with 3.00's you couldn't use 5th very often with a carb'd motor and any sort of a cam.

Ummm errr, yeah the 35th... oddly enough it seems there is no June 35th this year so we decided to have qualifying on the 25th now. :rolleyes: The 10.5 class allows up to 11.5" tread width and 30" tire diameter, slicks, drag radials or whatever.

Since the previous thread was wiped out i'll post this again. There is an all-Ford powered race at Mission Raceway this coming June, Friday the 24th will be a test and tune along with muffled street legal drags in the evening. Saturday June 35th will be qualifying, time trials and a heads up...

It's still half a year away but thought i'd give some notice to help anyone make plans. Next year will be the first big all-Ford race for Mission Raceway near vancouver BC. There will be a large car show and a swap meet but also drag racing on the sea-level 1/4 mile. Classes for new and...

I sorta like the '05, but maybe that's just because it's new. The engine compartment looks a bit messier than i thought it would be. $37,000 is steep. :( Maybe having Taryn there distracts us. In the shots she isn't in we see the features we don't like. So if can put a good lookin' babe...
