Just a little bit off base here...but when I saw the Jersey picture, it reminded me that there are a whole bunch of R/C crazies out where I live that race these things every sunday...when you see them in a picture only, you could not tell if it was full size or the r/c...they put a lot of detail into them.

We have a hydroplane tour come through town every year and I never check them out until this year. What sucked me in were Jersey Speed Skiffs like Vezo's posted. Unfortunately I missed them. I believe they were just scheduled to do a few demo laps to start the day. I love simple, lightweight with big V8's. Thankfully this is in the same thread where Frizzle's comments continues to remind me to keep it simple. I already have a mustang in hibernation that at one time was going to be an 1/8 mile demon.

Never meant to hijack a thread, just agreeing that we all have too many toys!

IslandTrader, the three foot models scaled down, with weed wackier motors are to scale and perform as do the full rides!!!

SSPBill, that's the ticket! Light and simple. Best of luck with your drag car!

I was only putting on a demo, first time on a course,
my brother riding mechanic, and I winged out. Saved it without sending him over my shoulder and into the drink. Never stalled but I quit early and I think that I was smoking two cigarettes when he got back out on the course. Alone!

71 or 70 1/2?

Do I see air under the skinnies?

I was a 2 wheel junkie and that was money.
4 wheels is a whole other strata.

70 1/2 is my guess. HS bud had an original that was very nice. Nice car Frizz! Any engine pics?

1971, Purchased the car about 20 years ago for $1200. It was a dead stock factory car with a mild 350. The car has seen a lot of changes over the years. Several different motors, the torch and plasma cutter and a few different colors. Me and my dad did all the work ourselves minus the machine work to the block. It has came a long ways. Started driving it down the track at 14. I sold my four-wheeler to buy it after spending several weekends at the track watching. Hope to keep it and pass down to my son as he is into racing as well. He is only 12 and we have started building him one already too.

I took the bars off the back after some 4'link changes and she pulls them a little bit still. Used to pull them more but try to keep enough bar on it to make it stay down to keep the energy movin forward.
