THERATTLER 07-06-2009 07:38 PM

Yeah , we went over there saturday nite because it was close and they had free bar b q :lol: we didn't want to do a lot of traveling over the holiday weekend , we had a lot of fun and got to see some old friends..Paul

You probally know the fellow helping me in the water box , it's Ken Fannan

mytmouz 07-07-2009 04:41 PM

Yes, I know him. All I can say is you folks are brave to run a digger there with that shutdown... :shock:

THERATTLER 07-07-2009 06:54 PM

Hey Terry,
never had a problem , my dragster stops a lot better than a door car because it only weighs 1440 lbs , ,,this car ran a 4.06 at that track a couple years ago with a 419 ci small block , I am only running a 355 motor in it now with a 4.40 to 4.50 E T...still a lot of fun :D
I'll call you next time we go and I'll let you have a go in it :lol:

mytmouz 07-07-2009 07:04 PM

Sounds good, but I'll probably never fit. I would LUV to come spectate at least. And though I swore I would not run there again, if mine is back together, I'll drag it with me...

im sorry that just didnt evn look like a 4 anything pass

mytmouz 07-08-2009 05:39 AM

lol, I knew that was coming. You would have to know the track...

THERATTLER 07-08-2009 05:51 AM

this little track is 160' short of being a full 1/8 mile , thats all the room they had....I don't know if it still stands but a 4.03 is the track record there . the shut down is very short ..my car with the present engine runs 5.30 to 5.40 in the 1/8 , not bad for a flat top 355 with old camel hump heads and a high gear only powerglide,,,..Paul :D

TheYellaBrick 07-08-2009 06:23 AM

:shock: :shock: :shock: MAN ! You'd have to shut down before you launched !!

Kinda like the track in Mobile. It's only 600' with a short shutdown.

THERATTLER 07-08-2009 10:32 AM

Yeah , this is not where I race normally , but it is about 25 miles from the house so I do go when I don't feel like traveling , they run a quick 8 around once a month , I don't bracket race , that is their main program , I like to watch it , I just stink at it :lol:

Where exactly is Byram? i've heard about it for yrs. but donot know where it's located at in Jackson. As i recalled they wanted to certify it NHRA, but could only get it certified to 500' due too the shutdown length. Do they have regularly scheduled events? or is it mostly just T&T.

THERATTLER 07-08-2009 02:34 PM

Hey Zip , it is about 5 miles south of i-20 in jackson , they were nhra certified but have dropped it . they run a regular bracket program with their own points chase , here is the man's e-mail that runs the track if you need more info [email protected]
cars that run in mid 6's and low 7's in 1/8 have no problem stopping there ..
They have run wheelie cars , the dixie door slammers , and Wesly Jones of ADRL has done some testing there before ,it's a good little track..
on tuesday nites they have test and tune for $10.00 usually with a pretty good crowd , alot of nitrous cars..hollar at me and we will go one nite....Paul

mytmouz 07-08-2009 07:43 PM

Zip, when you head north on 55 there is an exit for Byram, the track is about 1/2 mile from the exit behind a church...

zipper06 07-08-2009 08:29 PM

O'k now i'm a little confused, if i look at a map it says i come into Jackson from the west on I-20 then head south on I-55 to the Byram exit, is that the way it is?
Is there a website where a person could get the schedule or a flyer that you might have with the schedule that you post if you have a scanner.

Zip.

THERATTLER 07-09-2009 04:58 AM
