Grand Bend Dragstrip 1965
Many many thanks to Peter Wouters from Williams, AZ who contributed these pictures and articles. Peter was one of he first to race at Grand Bend Dragway back in 1965 with George Gray from London in a A/G Supercharged 1940 Willys Coupe named "Ramblin Woes."
Peter and George set a new Canadian record in '65 when they took the street eliminator class with a 10.46 ET at 135.12 MPH

Had a great time
Well I had a great time at the drag races yesterday. The heat was unbearable and it didn't take long to go through a 12 pack of bottled water so next year I think I'll do the whole weekend and bring a trailer, that way I can have a fridge full of ice cold water and a shower to cool off with. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures because instead of carrying a bag full of camera lenses around I decided to bring just one lens, a 28-210mm macro zoom that pretty much gave me a full range from wide angle to telescope. The unfortunate part is that the focus ring on this lens stuck and wouldn't allow me to focus in on my shots, oh well I still have the memories.
FYI - Clay Millican won his fourth consecutive Hooters IHRA national event and 41st career Ironman when he overpowered Paton in the Top Fuel final. “I have a Canadian flag proudly hanging in the shop and that’s no joke,” Millican said. “There are a lot of memories at this place. Me and Mike (Kloeber) took a walk down the racetrack the other day and talked about different runs we’ve made here. I love racing here.”

Well I'm Outta Here
Well on my way out the door to see the races, it's a gonna be a real hot one out there with the temperature (with humidex) at 07:00 already at 31*C / 94*F. Will be bringing lots and lots of water. This picture I took of Clay Millican at the 2003 Mopar Canadian Nationals doing his burnout to heat up the tires for traction, I believe this run was a 310+ mph pass and Clay went on to win that year. Clay is my pick to win again this year but I would love to see Canadian top fuel pilot Todd Paton win it for the home track, but Clay is a super classy guy so I guess we can make him a honorary Canadian for the weekend. Well I'm outta here, a slight possibility of a T-storm this afternoon, I blame that on Heather and her "burn, baby, burn" post .

My little Brother Josh's first race car. It's a half scale 23 model T. After building this car my dad wrote up a class for Junior Roadsters and sent it into IHRA and it was accepted so now you can race the 1/2 scale roadsters in IHRA pretty much the same rules as the Junior Dragsters but with diferent wheel base and body dimensions.

This is a picture of the engine, fits nice and everything is easily accessible
1979 7.5 litre Mustang GT Special Edition
This is my 1979 7.5 litre (460 cid) Mustang GT Special Edition. It is pushes out around 400 HP and approx. 10-12 MPG. It's currently under reconstruction and may - still in debate - come back out with a 8.4 litre (514 cid) engine. Time and funds will determine if that happens.
"Money Honey"
This is my first born, a 1973 Comet GT / 302 tunnel ram pushing out about 500 hp with an ET of 11.0's. It was an every day street rod that got about 3-5 MPG. Had alot of fun with that one.
BAD HOMBRE just you wait....
This is my 1957 Ford the "BAD HOMBRE" My Dad raced it from 1967 - 1978 before it was retired to the garage to collect dust. It was one hairy scary ride pushing out about 880 hp. It's now mine minus the 427, it is now sporting a 428 Super Cobra Jet for the street and will hopefully be on the road within the next couple of years as I have many other projects in front of it.

I Want Your Opinion
I've redesigned the emblems on my 1979 7.5 litre Mustang GT and would love to get everyone's opinion on which one to use. Presently I am leaning towards the bottom one for the fender and the top one for the hub caps. The original fender emblem was a chrome 7.5 with a black trim and Special Edition underneath in black, similar to the 5.0 litre Mustangs. The original rims just had a 7.5 SE in silver on a black back ground but two of the rims exploded in an accident and try as I may I can't find replacements for them anywhere, so I figured since I can't replace them I might as well design my own. So please leave any constructive ideas and thoughts. Thanks in advance - Freddie jr.
1985 T-Bird 30th Anniversary fender emblem
My latest project is a 1985 T-bird inspired by my Stang and should be ready for the road this spring. Since they are both Fox Bodies and are esentially the same car I have droped a 460 in it and plan on adding Twin Turbo Chargers to it. I have designed fender and trunk decals for it and would love averyones opinion on my design. I wanted to incorporate the classic bird into the design to celebrate the T-birds history. The brand new (1985) emblems will remain on the front grill and rear quarters. I would appreciate any constructive feedback and opinions.
1985 T-Bird 30th Anniversary trunk emblem
The trunk emblem. Turbo X 2. My Dad sugest that I just put the TX2 emblem on the trunk. What do you think. The only other modifications to the car will be the Boss 302 / Cobra Jet hood scoop and the factory wing on the back, and embrodered emblems in the seats and floor mats.
