[bigray]

Just wanted to says thanks to Mike Manley from Cincinnati OH area,great guy to deal with,just drove out there to pick up my 16 year old sons first big dragster, a 01 Mullis,dbl slip tube,230'' dragster,it was just as he said it was.even better..i thought.even met me kinda late to finish up the deal.so i could head on back to Oklahoma.(in the snow)doing 35mph and in 4x4 for about 70 miles.pulling a trailer..NOT FUN>anyway thanks Mike..and i am glad to be done with Jr Dragsters,,super pro boys at Tulsa look out..Brodie's coming..LOL..my son allready has it posted on our web site. morrisracing.net as our new dragster..

good to here and good for you bigray glad that we are hearing of another good one

Yep mike is a good guy he is one of our local racers he is a straight shooter.

Bigray, congrats on the buy. I believe I have seen that car a time or 2 and it is a nice car. Good luck to the boy with the new car. If I may offer a suggestion, if he does not have an experienced driver to teach him to drive the slip joint car it would be a very good investment to get him to one of the driving schools. Slip joints can be a handful to drive and well, there is a huge difference between that junior and the big car. Hope he enjoys success with the new car.

I have done a little dealin with Mike too and he is a super nice guy. My only complaint is I spend to much time bench racing when I go to his house...lol...

Like Shawn said, the schools that you take your own car to are right at a grand I think and would be a great investment.

[bigray]

i hear ya.on the going to school...but i think we will just start out slow,,and move up.this year will be just a lot of test and tuning.and getting very comfortable in the big dragster,,,more like just go out and have a good time,,and just drive down the track...

[shawnp]

Have your or the kid drove a big dragster? If not, you need to get him with someone at the track that is experienced with slip joints. One wrong move snapping the pedal or hitting the brake too hard and the kid will put that car in a bounce. Too often I see parents without experience bring their child from the junior ranks, stuff them in a car and the kid not realize the power and response that the car will give them. I am not sure what your experiences are but taking it slow is a real good start. With the slip joint the kid needs to learn throttle control and being able to stop the car without getting into the brake pedal too hard.

[bigray]

(( learn throttle control )) heck its drag racing.. flat on the floor..NO IAM JUST KIDDING.!!!! .I really do appeciate yours and everybody elses concerns.i fully plan on starting him out slow,,and lots of chat time with other dragster drivers,me,my self,I am a door car kinda guy,i drove a altered a few times and i didn't like it,at all. heck i dont even like sitting in a dragster,much less driving one..give me a door car or a drag bike,,i wont drive a dragster or a altered, but i will strap on a 9 sec bike or a high 8sec door car any day.funny HU. :roll: :roll: but i may try a little harder to drive a dragster..now that we own one !!

[shawnp]

I saw that Dave. Seems like these 2 guys have started a pissing match in the classified section under Dragsters.

Come on guys, if you got a problem post it in the forum where it belongs and not use the advertising space. Thanks

Just report his ad .. you look worse posting what you did. Scares people away from doing buisness with you in the future JMO

as I am sure you know 4.70 1/8th doesnt equal 7.70 1/4 ... 4.70 1/8th doesnt equal 140MPH

hUMMMMMMMMMMMM,i am a little lost on what the other posts are talking about. i kinda get that mike was working on a deal, and was 500.00 off the price, and i guess the seller said he was low balling him. well heck.all the seller has to do is say NO THANKS.. all i was trying to say in my post.. was that i am very happy with the dragster and it was priced fair. and i wasnt lied to !!!!!!!!. it had everything mike said it had. but i am still confused ?? but i think there is a seller mad because he got low balled. :roll: :roll: :roll:

there is a guy posting under dragsters he is getting low balled by Manley is all ... thats the american way buy cheap and sell for a profit .. IMO he is helping people out by buying stuff in a bad economy

[manley]

Thanks for your support Ray, thats what happened!

[manley]

Guys the way i see it Im buying a turnkey car and selling to make a few bucks on the side (not getting rich just enjoy wheelin and dealin)! know people say make me a offer and if im interested I make them a offer! its up to them to sell it! Ive bought cars from people and if its making a few dollars turnkey its gone! if i feel its something to part out and make alittle then I part it out! But you know everyone that I have done some dealin with seems to be real happy with what they get and the price! I can say this in the last couple of years Ive had no trouble what so ever selling cars or parting them out, so my prices must be pretty damn fair in today economy! So i must not be to bad of a guy to do business with!

[Dumas1]

thumbs up to mike... i bought a pair of edelbrok upswept headers for my bbc from him. we both agreed on a price and i bought them... the most important part of our deal to me was that when they were delievered that they would be as he described them to be and they were...also, theres no crime in buying and selling to make a profit:just don't misrepresent what your selling...

[bigray]

ooh there was no way i could have bought the dragster i got from mike turn key,but with him buying it.. and selling the roller and selling the motor,it was just in my price range for a killer roller and he even made me a great deal on the Dedenbear case trans also. heck we all buy and sale,,and we all try to make a little,,if you dont want people to make you a offer,,THAN DO NoT PUT,, MAKE ME A OFFER,,,,DUHHH, if you wanna sale it,, than put a price on it,,and then start to haggle on it..just my 2 cents worth..also a side note, i put a few shake down passes on the dragster and my son went 137 out the back door his first pass, lifting and pumping,..Ray
