I will be there with by bucket racing in the vintage eliminator class. There is also a test and tune class if you want to see what your bucket will do in the 1/8th.

I will get around to posting photos eventually it's just a pain when they are always too big to upload and having to go through a resizer site

We did a drag race once with our local nostalgia race group. I just can't remember what our run time was.
I do remember to qualify to run we had to take our canvas top off (which probably made her run faster anyway).

Took the bucket on the dirt track again earlier this month. Had a blast!

When I bought mine it was set up for drag racing. 427 4 speed with a 4:56 rear and a spool. I don’t know what it ran, I only bounced it around on a back road before buying it, then I dismantled it to make it mine. It was rowdy.

Sounds like it would have definitely been a handful

Bingo! It was built with only rear brakes and they were non functional when I bought it. Fortunately we live in a rural area. As irresponsible as that was, it was a flashback to my juvenile days of building go carts and beginning to wrench on hot rods. Isn’t that the entire purpose for these things?
