I'm Eric.Howdy :D

[Oldewalnut]

My name is Robert Swartz. I used to race back in 70's-80's. Still have my 66 Chevy II that was purchased in 1978. Two things drew me to this site. The first is a desire at the ripe young age of 53 to begin the resurrection of this old car. The second is, I have been looking for an 80's roller Mustang to build me a new bracket car.

A little more background. I had two 1967 Mustangs and a Pinto (imagine that'll get a couple snickers) that I raced in the 70's. Back in those days, a couple of my running buddies were Toby and Kenny Meek, if you look up the old record books for both NHRA-IHRA, they held a couple of national recors and a few class wins in both Stock and Modified Production.

I started my Nova in 1979. Due to a stint with Uncle Sam, a friend of mine raced the car for a few years until I got home in 1984. We raced it on and off till 1988. Then marriage, job changes, mortgages, other hobbies and such dominated my life.

Hope there's room for somebody that's behind the curve and has alot of catching up to do,

[hollowayshotrods]

Hi,
My name is Rudy, very cool site! Had my '68 Camaro up for sale or trade for the last 6 months, trying various media outlets, all of which absolutely stunk!! Then comes along RacingJunk!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO! Now I am in my FIRST dragster and the Camaro has a new owner! Although I only traded, I DID make an honor payment and met a really good guy that described his car to the "T". I am vey happy!! I have filled out the profile if anyone wants to know who I am and where I am from. The only cofrontation I have had on here was from some fellow named Eric a.k.a. olds48. Anybody know him? Just kidding Eric, glad I got a response out of you, it makes me glad someone read my post and replied to it, didn't waste any time smacking me though!! LOL! No problems with E, heck of a nice guy, although he drives a OL...., just can't get that word across my lips!!

Thanks again!! I will be here from now on!!



1. How come I see some folks on here with no profile and have been on here for YEARS?

2. Why do these same folks not pay any honor payments?

3. We have been on Ebay for 8 years selling stuff (99.3). Why can't sellers be required to have a verified PayPal account to sell? You do not HAVE to pay thru Paypal and incur the fees, but you will have an outlet to go back to if you are screwed out of your dough if you do use them.

Anyway,,just my 2 cents worth.

Semper Fi!
Rudy

[olds48]

:D :D :D :D My Olds is actually more of a mutt.It's a 48 Olds with a 496 Bbc,Th4oo and a 9" Ford(pardon my french,hate to use 4 letter words like that).But it is and always will be Chevy powered.Who else makes motors?
Guess I shouldn't have messed with a leatherneck :shock: I know what you mean about honor payments.I was always curious,if I put out a wanted ad,and I end buying what I was looking for,how do I go about paying an honor payment?

[davnblack]

Hello,

My name is Michael and I am from Houston Texas (actually Tomball).

After a multi year hiatus from turning wrenches and having my own pet project, I have decided its time for a new toy.

Having restored multiple Camaro's in my past I am trying to venture over to the sister line of the F-Body. I am looking for a 1975 Trans Am project car, I have always liked the big black (ugly) bumpers for some reason. Besides with the opera rear window and these bumpers its a unique year.

So I decided to join this forum to broaden my search possibilities, plus tap into an enormous knowledge base.

Thanks for having me as part of your site, I look forward to being a contributing member.

Michael

[topsportsman1]

Welcome,Ron,Mike,Mike and Michael,to the forum,Lots of good guys here,have fun

[Impalabuilder]

currently building a 67 2dr chevy II sedan. Should be on the road with the 194 in a couple weeks. I want to take it to the track to see how my runs improve over time. I'm building a mild supercharged LT1 block for it. Don't expect to win anything, just have fun.

also building a BMW 325 track only car, but that's on the far backburner set to "warm"

also own 64 impala vert 409/425 (not original) 70 el camino SS 396, 56 Nomad, and 97 BMW M3

[olds48]

Welcome Impalabuilder.I love the BIG Chevy's .I got a 66 ss that's my daily driver.Dude I love that car.400hp,4 speed and 21 mpg highway :D !!Put some pics up of your rides.I'd especially like to see the Imp and the Nomad!Welcome to the site and have fun.There's alot of good guys and ALOT of good info in here.Talk to you later!!

[Impalabuilder]

21 mpg in a 66? That's incredible...the day before I bought my 64 I was looking at a 66. Left my number and the guy didn't call until 2 days later. Had to tell him he lucked out. 65 and 66 are sweet cars.

my 64 is in too many pieces to get a good pic :cry: but here's the engine:

http://ww2.impala.ws:5204/images/Julius409.jpg

as soon as the chevyii is on the road, the Impala starts reassembly mode

the Nomad is still in my Dad's garage. That's another winter project...very easy restore: engine, 1/4 panel, and paint.[/img]

[olds48]

Man those w-motors had some beautiful valve covers.21 mpg in a 66...well it is a factory 327 with a powerglide so that means it comes with airplane gears in the rearend.2.73s.So with a 2.73 gear,a 237/75r15 tire and a 4 speed(no slippage) it turns 1700 rpm at 55 mph and only 2000 rpm at 65 :D Throw in a GM crate motor(Fastburn 385)with a tight duration hydraulic roller and you got yourself a decent little cruiser!Get 18 mpg highway with the A/C on :D Just hope I never pull up beside you with that big w-motor..I'll get smoked for sure!! :cry:

[Scooterz]

Well... I just noticed this thread actually... for the first time. I think it is my ADHD probably, but I never actually did this thread or noticed it months ago as I have been posting. Name is Casey (go by Rigsby here) WMM, 38, 2 kids (4&6). I have a 69 Camaro BBC, but I want a gasser. Have had 3 Chevelles 68,69, & 72 + a 70 Elcamino. I work for Bowtech Archery, I am a Corp. rep/account mgr. Basicly, I set up dealers & sell them bows & product. We also sell Ross, Diamond compound, etc... Live in Oregon near the ocean. I have only been arrested once... & since then, I quit drinking (Irish). Like dirt bikes, but I get hurt too much so I am getting away from that. I like Waylon Jennings & still think the 80's were cool... I love my country & respect others when they should be respected. Having said this, Obama Hussen Barack akceem' abduhl mohamma is not one of those people. Thanks to you all for answering all of my dumb questions so I don't blow-up my newest motor. Cheers

[Bamfster]

Name is Dan, 19 years in L/E....I'm not your stereotypical cop, I'm pretty unconventional. Married for 20 years w/3 kids, my oldest starts driving in 6 months. My '68 chevelle (see sig) was my first car, it runs 10.90@124 at Bamdimere Speedway. I inherited my mom's '69 Camaro that I'm restoring/building to run in the 12's for my wife.

Hi everyone what a great sight I came across. Love the easy flow and access to each forum with good insight from dudes with knowledge.

Have been looking across parts pages on here for upgrades to my ride and found a local guy in St.Catharine's Ontario I contacted.

Not quite a fifty year old young guy who loves nice street cars. In process of upgrading my 81 Z28 under the hood for a little more bite.

If I ask stupid question that's the part of me learning more.

Sure is a lot of self help on here though just reading many all ready asked questions.

Hey Gang!
New rookie to the board here.

Former bracket racer, freelance racing journalist and Diamond P Sports intern.

Hope to promote some big $ races upcoming in 2009 and beyond.

Look for an announcement VERY soon about the biggest purse event anywhere in the country for July 4th weekend!

Hey Ralph. Welcome to the forum. I'm usually good for plenty of bs , I can promise you 1 thing NEVER LET ME TALK YOU INTO LETTING ME GIVE YOU A TATOO. You would be emotionally scared for life. Not to mention the the messed up scribble I'd leave accross your nose. I am the worlds worst at drawing. My drawing of a stick family the mom always comes out to fat!

hi guys new here name is sam joined cause ben into racing for years and herd about site got my truck up on here. im a member of a ford truck web site. two things ive noticed on here that bother me though people reply that car gone yet ad still up or say they want x dollars obo but trade value is way more other than that love the site

[TRWMotorsports]

Glynn Williford, aka Dr Hot Rod! Home office near Memphis.

43 yr old father of one son; Taylor now 16.

Former bracket racer, freelance journalist and the only person in America to ever intern with Diamond P Sports when they were NHRA's right hand.

Mother and father were both bracket racers. In fact, Mother beat Joe Lunati's wife in the money run of the very first powder puff race she ever entered.

Current Drag Strip Announcer at Memphis Motorsports Park.

Learned about calling drag races from the two best to ever do it.

Dave McClelland devoted his life to this sport and he and his lovely wife were as kind and gentle to a scared college kid as any loving parents could have been to their own children.
He displayed grace and dignity at all times and I never heard him say a cross word about another individual. He reportedly founded Super Chevy Sunday and if I sit silently, I can still hear his rich baratone voice thundering throughout the PA system.

Steve Evans was a firey guy from Southern California that is credited with as much of the sports development in its golden years as any one individual. He's credited with the trademark cliche beckon call of our industry which sets us apart from all other motorsport, "SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!"
Legend has it that he reportedly told John Force just to follow his lead in the interviews and he'd make him a star.

Ironically, I can recall sitting in Darrell Russell's trailer at Memphis in the Summer of 1996 with his dad and brother in the cramped living quarters of the red Chapparal that always flew the State flag of Texas. If I ever got lost in the pits, I knew I would be ok when I saw their flag. I remember sitting there asking Darrell when he was going to turn pro.
The ironic part is that Steve Evans asked him the same question when he won the US Nationals one year later!

Thats my story..or stories...and I'm stickin' to 'em!

The Doctor is In!

[cepx111]

Hey do you know Mike Wambo, Tim pace, or Steve Stykes?
They all run at blue mountain, pickwick and Jackson.
I don't get around much anymore, I got a old rickity trailor with rethreads for tires.
I'm 10 miles from memphis motorsports park as a crow flys but I never go there any more. Poor management, plus they dont have a regular bracket program, just last weekend they cancelled a big money race at the last minute, pissed off alot of folks.

Byhaliaraceway is my home town track, its where I cut my teeth dragracing years ago.

If they're open, I'm there every saturday night.


Next time your rolling down 78 pass up Holly Springs and George Howards B/S and cmon on up to Byhalia, you'll enjoy it.

[TheRabbit]

Welcome to the forum Nick. Jump on in the water is just fine! :D

[cepx111]

Welcome aboard Nick and Dirk.

Hey Dirk, keep it off the streets man, take it from someone who's "been there done that" its way too dangerous out there now, the law has really cracked down on the street racing scene - it's certainly not worth losing your ride over.

Also make sure to fill out your profile info, that way we know where your from.

Cp

[DirkaDirka]

I know taking it to the streets is bad and thats why I am going to be building a car for the track. I know I will be on here alot when I start building the stang. Cuz I only want to put the best parts into it. So hope everybody has fun.

Hey Y'all, just want to introduce myself. I am maniac's BETTER half.(known as the RATTLER) .just wanted to join in the fun , when he will let me , I have been reading over his shoulder the last few months and laughing .. PLEASE DON'T TREAT ME LIKE A GIRL , I can drive dragsters , bulldozers , tractors ,cut wood, turn wrenches and cuss with the best of them. Don't get me wrong , I am still very much a woman.

[DirkaDirka]

Well welcome to the forums. Just jump right on in. It is good to see family in here too.


Also I have been wondering where you came up with the name The Rattler for your car??

[THERATTLER]

Hey Dirka , the name RATTLER came about from where we live , we live in the hills where there are rattlesnakes everywhere , we kill a dozen or so in our yard every year. we just seem to have alot on our property. We painted the dragster a few years back with a metalic brown paint and looked at it and decided it looked like a rattlesnake, so we decided to name it the RATTLER , everybody liked it , so we had shirts made and picture handouts and it just kind of took off ..unfortunatly this car is in Pennsalvania at this time with its new owner and a new one is in the works, thats how we got the dozer , anyway thats the story,,,Judy

Hi Judy.
Welcome to RJ. I do like the car and the name Rattler. However, if I found a dozen or so rattle snakes :shock: in my yard it would no longer be my yard. It would be their yard and I would be long gone. If I had to stay I'd probably set out landmines and booby trape for 'em. LOL

Hello guys, been a member of racingjunk for a few years and made alot of deals on here but never got into the forums. But now i figure id give it a try. Im 35, live in Texas and love heads up racing. I used to be a Nitrous guy but converted to Blown Alky few years ago and never looked back. I have drag raced everything you can think of on 4 wheels from a VW bug to an Exhibition Wheelstander. I currntly run a 79 camaro with a blown injected 355 sbc, true 10.5 mini tub factory frame car. best 5.09 1/8. I also run a 70 VW Bug chassis car with a blown injected 377 sbc. car has been a 4.71- 1/8. I like to think Im a nice guy, im one of those that will pull parts off my car and help put em on yours so you can make the next round if im out or broke. Ive never met a stranger and never lost a friend. hope to meet some new friends on RJ forums!

Hello guys, been a member of racingjunk for a few years and made alot of deals on here but never got into the forums. But now i figure id give it a try. Im 35, live in Texas and love heads up racing. I used to be a Nitrous guy but converted to Blown Alky few years ago and never looked back. I have drag raced everything you can think of on 4 wheels from a VW bug to an Exhibition Wheelstander. I currntly run a 79 camaro with a blown injected 355 sbc, true 10.5 mini tub factory frame car. best 5.09 1/8. I also run a 70 VW Bug chassis car with a blown injected 377 sbc. car has been a 4.71- 1/8. I like to think Im a nice guy, im one of those that will pull parts off my car and help put em on yours so you can make the next round if im out or broke. Ive never met a stranger and never lost a friend. hope to meet some new friends on RJ forums!


Welcome to the forums. Love your signature.

check around, some video shops will convert old 8mm, 32mm, vhs and Beta video to a DVD and the cost is pretty decent. we just did a ton of them and glad we did since the tapes were starting to go bad, some of the 8mm's were almost 40 years old!

[JOHNNYHICKEY]

Sorry kats, dont have a MyFace or Spacebook. Been on RacingJunk since 2008, So about myself, how does anyone try and describe themselves online without sounding too self-righteous or egotistical? I'll try and be as humble and honest as I can...... I said I would try, may not happen but hey :)

Hi, my name is John and I cant stop buying cars, im one of those guys that have ran out of space and the City threatens. (i have to think about how many i have, i forget sometimes) I have cars at all my friends homes (thanks guys! lol)
My whole family has been into cars, racing etc.
I got into Motorcycle Roadracing, I still have a bunch of wrecked bikes and a stack of used slicks, I did get lots of scars from the roadracing bikes and I show them off alot to get sympathy points from the ladies...sigh....
So it was back to building cars and drag Racing, Made alot of awesome friends in this car world and without them i would be screwed.

I'm really not into the dress up in Dickies and pose up wit tatts and stuff ..but......I do happen to have some weird posed pictures that I will send ya! (no nudes, sorry)
Look at my GALLERY, http://www.racingjunk.com/profile/335837 its got all my cars and trucks in it.

My nam is Sam, I am active duty military and have performance parts business HTPMotorsports. I will be posting ads as I get deals I would like to pass along and participate when I have something useful to add here on the forums. I drive a 97 Twin Turbo Mustang that sees weekend track days when it is acting decent and not breaking ringlands. Best pre-turbo was 8.98 at 94MPH with udps, catted x, 3.73s and Nittos drs out back, it was a 1.9x 60'. I have a slip with a 3.21 when something blew across my beam that I carry for the occasional argument

[Lujo1968]

Hey all, how's it going? My name is Lou, but due to so many Lou's in the world most of my friends just call me Lujo. I have been a member on RJ for over a year thanks to a friend recommending the site to me and I have been addicted ever since.
Anyway I finally noticed the forums on here after reading a post about a scammer a few months back and thought it only right to properly give a long overdue hello and hopefully become a part of the community here.
I have a 1970 Pontiac Formula 400 RAIII with a Muncie 4-speed and 3:73 12 bolt that is all original I am restoring, a custom ground up built Harley sporty that isn't your common Harley I have owned for too long, and a 91 Jeep I aggravate myself with but it's a loyal daily driver. Been noticing my life has slowed down some so I am hunting out the right pro-street roller to get back to what I enjoy.
Well see you all on the boards and hopefully on the track next year.
~Cheers, Lujo
