Trouble in Our Camp!

We experienced a problem today in our ignition box when the timing retard didn't work and the starter kicked back and broke several teeth off of the flexplate.  Nothing to do but pull the bullet out and replace the flexplate.   We'll be back up by Wednesday if all goes well.

Progress on Our Hot Rod!

We are making progress with our engine swap. We dropped the 632 in today and hope to have the change completed this week. Need to do some work on the headers as the new motor is taller and our old headers won't quite fit. We hope to be ready for a shakedown in April.

Camp Happy Days Car Show on March 27th!

On Saturday, March 27th, we will be participating in the 26th Annual Southern Drag Racing Association's Car Show to raise money for "Camp Happy Days". The show will be held in the parking lot of the Texas Roadhouse on Rivers Avenue in North Charleston, beginning at 10:00 a.m.. Judging will be completed and trophies will be awarded at 3:00 p.m. We were honored to receive the "Best in Show" trophy last year for the Charleston 9 "Never Forget" Camaro and we will be there this again year with Engine 11, "Big Red", our Team Fire Chief's car, as well as the CFD 9 Camaro. The SDRA raised over $ 8,500.00 for Camp Happy Days last year during this show so please come out and join us for a great day and a great cause!

The Work Begins!

We have pulled our old motor out and Del Harwell is working his magic on our transmission in preparation for our new bullet.  We hope to be dropping the new motor in by next weekend.  Stay tuned for new pics.

Plans for the Coming Year!!

After taking several months off, we are excited about the upcoming racing season.  We have recently bought a 632 BBC motor and will drop it in soon.  We were fortunate to get this motor in a trade with Chet Couch who is building a new late model Corvette roadster and wanted our 468 for his new car.  The 632 was originally in Chet's Pro Stock S-10 and ran a best time for him of 4.97.   Our goal is pretty simple. We want to make a four second run. Enough said!

In order to handle the 632, Del Harwell of Harwell Motorsports is going through our 'Glide and will add his contribution to our new goal.  I am in awe of many of our friends who have great cars and make consistent runs while competing on a regular basis.  We are in it for the fun and look forward to going after our four very soon.  We want to run as much as time and money will allow and look forward to seeing all of you soon.
