Its bad *** to see people race vintage cars, theres always people out there who will restore and pamper, not so many that will still use them for what their meant for

You can't leave out Spiro Pappas! His car was a tank and whipped much *** back in the day with Fast Times power. I think Mike Moran was a member of that group to but he raced Pro Street. Chuck dominated that class himself until he got a wild hair up his *** and decided to race Pro Street, opening the door for Billy Glidden.

That is cool but I would love to see some of the races from back in the day.... wonder how many of those races were filmed and could still be watched. Hell if they can play "classic bowling" on TV....

i dont remember if that was the same one, but during one of the daytona 24 hour races in the 60s one of the cars got in an accident. when night came they duct-taped flashlights on the fornt fenders and followed a car all night. when it was day again they found they had been following a protoype and had set the track record

No pics of Ken Rainwater or Bruce Kimmen's cars?

Rainwater is racing a Mustang now but used to me THE MAN when it came to 10.5"W racing. He did it with a blower and alcohol then and is doing it with twin turbos and gas now.

three of my fav's besides the obvious Tim Lynch.

Local guys (well houston and dfw area) are Naiser's orange 3rd gen...Just something about that car...everything is just gorgeous on it...not to mention running 4.53 at 15x mph and such.

And Greathouses old 05 TT Stang that GMac (Grant Mccray) bought last season...car is beautiful.

And then Brad Brands BB TT stang....gorgeous coupe on a 10.5 tire....

If you can't tell I'm an outlaw racing junkie.

With a "small block" no less.

If you're a outlaw fan then you've got to respect:

Oh I respect Kirk for sure...went a .43 earlier...that's moving.

and Naiser is not a small block anymore. 565CI big block now...ditched the SB after last season.

I prefer turbo cars...but I love Naiser's car.

Because Glidden will not leave the NMCA and go run in a real 10.5w class. He is afraid to add weight to his paper thin car and run with the real guys.


But then again, if I dominated every NMCA race I ran, I would not leave either.

2400 lbs small block nitrous car with a glide...WON'T run beadlocks and WON'T convert to dual chutes...there's like a 280 page thread on then Fun Ford Weekend board about how he wouldn't comply and wouldn't come back. He can't be competitive if the event rules are not tailored to him anymore.
