Ok streetisez calm down! I have nothing but the utmost respect for you and your Ranchero! You have forgotten more about racing and going fast than I will ever know.  Making sub 7 second passes naturally aspirated isn't easy. I personally think that street is easy and what you do is tough. Nailing the tree every pass and running that consistent -I have seen you race the last couple of weeks and the Ranchero ran within 6 or 7 one-hundreths every time-that isn't easy! I think that I said that you didn't have interest in driving around on the street. I don't remember saying anything that I meant to be offensive. Put street tires and mufflers on the Ranchero and cruise to Sonic and no one would take you lightly. I love anything that is fast- I don't care what it is. I'm just too ignorant to work on anything except a Chevy!  As far as a legend is concerned I think that it would be a car with extensive history. That doesn't mean they aren't fast as hell now!  There is Fairlane in Mangum that has been running in the 7's for probably close to two decades! That is more of a legend to me than most of the cars around Altus now.   Anybody else pissed off at me?

Maybe once I FINALLY get my car done we can plan a day at the track with everyone!

Rob, Monty, Brian, Steve, Sammy, Floyd, Michael, Trevor, Tim, The Smiths, Jack, Butch and anyone else from around here that wants to go!

Maybe we can even get Larry to go.

Now that would be a blast! And the main reason I want to get going again.

Chris

If I forgot someone you will be invited also!

Well in your case I could care less if you were pissed at me! Ha Ha  Hey Floyd also I think that I was the first to mention Sammy on this site when he won a race earlier. Sammy is one of the nicest guys I know and nobody deserves every the success he gets more. I don't dog anybody and I only brag on other people's rides! I leave the crap talking for the people that think they have to prove something. I do what I like because I like it- not to impress or outdo or outrun anybody else.  Because of that attitude I will never have the fastest or nicest car around! I am perfectly alright with that. This car thing is fun and my friends are more important to me than that. You will probably never see my car go rounds of eliminations at the track or see it sitting at a car show- it wouldn't win either one. Like I said that stuff doesn't mean anything to me.  Any way enough of that. Is anybody ready for another cruise or something like it? I sure am!

Okay class payattention we are going to go through this yet agaibn this is about "legendary cars of Altus"
To start with "of Altus" means the owner of the car lived in Altus "meaning the car was in Altus" or it could be the the car was driven in Altus. No where does it say anything about racing "on or off the track". I think we have the Altus part covered.

No ALL I was trying to do here is find out what cars (OF SEVERAL YEARS BACK) are still talked about or known about by the kids in or fresh out of high school In other words lets here what  Micheal and Login have to say. I'm the same age as most of you guys I remember most of the cars. Floyd,Sammy,Montes cars are fast they are all nice but go talk about them in a different topic they have no bussiness in this topic as they have only been around 5years and that goes for my car to. This topic is not to agrue about racing it is to reminisce of the old cars. If this post makes anybody mad TOUGH. If you are mad in this topic you are banned from it(this topic) go be mad in another topic 

And to prove its all about fun what about that real nice 66 mustang that supposedly back in to the automechanics biulding at the high school and Gary Paugh had to cut apart two mustangs to rebiuld it. How about that for a legand>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

well Monte you say only 7.80's, I say wow thats real fast. I say that because look at what the big shots where running back then. What do you think about a big block FULL sIZE truck doing wheel stands with 30-40year old tech. Back then 7.80 was FAASSSSSTTTTTTTTTT. So I guess in the late 80 when Chris was running 8.20 was slow to then huh gee Chris I hate to break it to you but you had a slow car back then hehehehehe

I have been beat by that car actually. I couldn't forget it if I wanted   

Good to see some posts here.

Course your old truck would count also but I still can't believe it's the same truck   

Chris

Chris we need to get together sometime and I will give you some pictures and the video of the truck and the car to put on this site.

Farmers toy has been around quite a awhile. I only saw one pass the other night- a 6.09 pass!  Chris is right- that ol guy grabbin' gears- it didn't get any better than that!
