Hey Dion, Did you ever get that trans/driveshaft issue figured out?

Now I just have to figure out what the H/P factor is for the Coronet and if it will get 1 carb or 2, LOL

Dion Hildebrandt · 02-22-2011, 11:31 PM

driveshaft is all sorted, found a few ponies, car is currently all torn apart and getting reasssembled hopefully in time for Boise. I went and looked where the team transporter is parked and unless I can acquire the aid of a frontend loader I dont know when we can get the trailer out!......Damn snow drifts...we get chinooks here but snow drifts take forever to melt.

Hey Phillip,

I am sure the HP will be a lot less than the NHRA factor, mine is 5 HP less for the Low compression. I am sure if you post your combo that Danny could tell you what it is factored at. Keep in mind AA/SA is 7 pounds per HP not 7.5 so if you can make it light enough you should be able to fly. Is there anyone else from the West coast that will travel to Ashcroft?

Dion it would be great if we could get at least the same number again at Thunder in The Valley, 16 cars was awesome and Carla the Kids and I had a lot of fun and will gladly do it again as we had some great help from Bob and Charlene with meals and car recruiting. As well as many others who offed help and support. Good luck with getting the trailer out, I feel your pain this winter does not seem to want to end!

When we came up with the 7.00 class and allowed the race Hemi's and T-Bolts, etc. in the class we set the cross ram 2 X 4 Hemi at 470 HP. Check with Danny or Mike Baker to see if it is still rated the same. It should be as Dan Davorak was the only guy to run one back in the day.

OK what does this race compare to is it like a divisional race? This is the closest IHRA race we have in the northwest it is about 6 hours away from Seattle could draw some good car count. Ashcoft is one of my favorite tracks. There is no other major race conflicks with this one. Early in the year and a weekend before a divisonal at Mission B.C. Hopefully a lot of stockers, SuperStocker, Super classes and bracket cars will support this race by showing up. Will do some research to find out more. Anybody out west been to one of these races I think Faul has won a couple of there National event. Looking foward to this new race series.

If anyone wants to leave they're tow rig or trailer close to Mission after the Ashcroft race I'm 25 miles from the track and 3 miles from the Aldergrove border crossing and have plenty of room here at the house..

Phillip may need to take you up on the offer. I dont think you can leave your trailer in Canada for the week in between at Mission? Seardhing IHRA site for stock car classification guide could not find do they use NHRA guide and weight breaks?

Phillip marvetz · 02-24-2011, 02:24 AM

No problem.
Usually Mission will let racers leave they're equipment at the track but you have to leave it on the spectator side until they open the racer's gate on Wednesday.
The border folks do have a problem with us leaving stuff unattended IF they know. For some reason a gated race track with 24 hour security isn't good enough for them. They have given me a hard time about leaving the car's overnight before, So since then our official plan has been to camp at the track, Somehow I usually wake up at home in my own bed though....................
