Welcome Allen!! Where did you move from? Just for information.... I was told
that my old fuel dragster would never pass inspection by one of the SCTA folks
in '98 when I asked about it. I really like the Camaro idea, Dick J. just
completed a project like that. Our famous (or infamous) Keith Turk runs a
Camaro and holds several records. In any case, hope to see you out there.

Subject: Another newbie signing on to the "list"
Hi list,
My name is Allen Young and I live in Oroville Ca. I'm retired and a
recent resident of California. Just in time to get whacked in the side
of the head by the electric utility problem. I've been reading the list
for a couple of weeks and love it! I didn't sign on for a couple of
days and had over 400 emails to read! I've corresponded a couple of
times with Tom Bryant in Redding (almost a neighbor) about my
"project". He is encouraging me to keep going and at this point I
will. I have a '60's front engine dragster that I'm considering
turning into a Lakester. I plan to put a GMC 270 inline six into it,
hooked to a powerglide tranny. I plan to take it to El Mirage for a
tech inspection just to see if it might be a feasible project. If it
is, I hope to have it running next year. I plan to journey to
Bonneville this summer/fall to just soak it up and learn all I can.
Also do the photography thing when I can.
Any comments or suggestions about my proposed project would be greatly
appreciated. If the dragster isn't feasible, I have a cherry 1977
Camero that might be a candidate for the salt??<br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE
