Title: Let's get this place going again.
Post by Chris Smith on 01/07/11 at 22:50:28

Come on guys, let's get this place going again or let's just decide to kill it. I would rather keep it going and it to get busier! It's cold, we should have plenty to say here. If you guys keep posting I will stay around all the time.

Keep them posts coming.

Dad is getting in the mood to put cars back together after the short winter off. Ordering parts left and right. "The Woody" is almost ready to get back out to the track. I just hope I am too...

I am sure you will be! Tell him he needs to get the white car out for cruise weekend.

Yo Nick,

Is dad ordering from Jegs's? If so, let me know so I can talk to him and get a new steering wheel for the car.

Just glad that life is in a small slow down until the next storm hits (my boss). Getting ready to see if I can repair the frame again on the Camaro to be ready for race season this year.

I separated a seam where the front uni frame is welded to the body.

No CPR or Defibulator can revive this dead horse!

Doesn't look like it.

Well..... I just wonder what happened to everybody? Hell even in the warm months I hardly ever see a hot rod or anything out. My car by no means is even close to the caliber of most of you guys cars but I damn sure like to get out and would love to see the cars. I love hot rods and all things related but just seems nobody is doin anything with them anymore! What gives is everybody an 4x4 guy now? If so hell give me all your go fast goodies hahahaha!!!

HAHA, probably everyone has a rock crawler now. I haven't driven mine in a while since it got cold. I did fire it up last week to put anti freeze in it and oil down the cylinders. I am going to bring it down to the cruise.

It is kinda frustrating. When I had the carlot on Main I had a few get togethers other than the cruise to try and keep everyone out and about. I hate to see this site go down and think it can be enjoyable again. Downs is on all the other sites also and they are based in metropolitan areas with a huge user base. We don't need thousands upon thousands to be worthwhile. I am not the most computer literate fella and some of the older hotrodders out there aren't either. Matbe we need a class to help us Chris! hehe

Title: Re: Let's get this place going again.
Post by Chris Smith on 02/12/11 at 18:36:55

We could do a class, HAHA. I will keep this going with users or not. As long as one person uses it, it will stay.

Thanks guys for trying to get it fired up again!

Post by NITRONICK4601 on 02/13/11 at 16:28:26

Chris Im glad to clarify the crawler post. I didnt want to get the 4x4 out. The dragster is enough work. Trying to get Nick ready for Denton next weekend.
Testing the next week at Wichita. Crandal Tx IHRA divisional two weeks later. Dallas div. 4 event
mid april and camaro by cruise. Graduation in May plus regular bracket races. Caleb in a 12.90 jr dragster?? We will have a lot to post about Thanks for keeping web site avaliable. HOPE others can post about there own racing not just hotrods Thanks Tim

You guys are going to be crazy busy this year! Hopefully I will get to watch you guys race at some point. I can't believe I missed you last time. I will be in town in a few weeks. I will make sure and stop by.

Thanks for the kind words!
