(5 of the kids are out of the house now and las two are almost graduated and gone  ). I'd keep at least one around to help with the heavy lifting.  Welcome aboard, and get a rulebook. Thanks for the welcome Milwaukee! I will have one of the rug rats left for another year and he'll be my lifting mule  The girl I have for probably a year too, she likes helping out more then the boy and she's Dodge good at catching things i forget or giving Dodge good suggestions! I will be ordering a rule book. I'm also ordering an ECTA book too (I'm planning on doing East coast too, I go down there at least twice a year for business and family). I hope tolearn alot here! |

I hope Patrick has better luck than I did with a son dedicated for heavy lifting. My son turned out too light for heavy work. That was left for me.

If you are reading a lot on this website, you know the East Coast is now on the northeast side of middle America. Have fun building, show us what you are thinking, we can probably help. |

Hello All, I am complete newbie to Land Speed. I've just gotten re-interested and am here to learn!  A little about me: I am an ASE Master Auto Technician. I run my own Mobile Automotive repair business here in Sequim WA. A Father of 7 kids, two dogs and two cats (5 of the kids are out of the house now and las two are almost graduated and gone ). I've been involved in automobiles all my life in one form or another (shows, drag racing, autocross....). I am looking to start my car ASAP and get involved ASAP. I know its a lot of work but excited to finalize which vehicle I want to use and what class. Ok NEWBIE here start blasting away. I have very thick skin and a very wicked sense of humor, so if you throw it be prepared to receive it back    I like what I've seen on this forum so far.  Velkommen! What kind of car and class are you interested in? |

Yup sure do know that. I will definately show and be asking a lot of questions here, you all will probably get tired of me asking lol. |

Velkommen! What kind of car and class are you interested in?

Thank you T !
Looking at starting off at production and its a toss up between a camaro, charger or old's that I have in my stable. Leaning towards the camaro or charger. I'm going to evaluate the cars this weekend and make a decission. One quick question since I dont have the book yet, engine changes: if say the camaro came with a 327 and had options for 350 (or whatever) can I swap the higher engine in and stay production as long as its the same manufacture etc... I saw this discussed else where but came away confussed. I think it said it was ok to do so.
Thanks to all!

You have the first three correct. What further help do you need?

Hi Folx,
Crazy Swede here to learn, been riding one old sidecar Harley 1926 for over 18 years. Last year i trimmed the engine and was supriced by the result. I will now tune the bike for a record atempt. I also have a garage friend what rides and race one old Harley 1931 45" DL sidecar. Together we have bought one Harley 1340, to rebuild as side car racer. We call her The Executor. We will use her to set lap times for us to chase with the vintage bikes. Im right now sitting and makes some CADīs of the bike to find out a functional and nice construction of the frame, therefor i did watch the web for inspiration. Then ive found a picture of a red nasty side car bike at a bike blog. No information, only a picture. One comment said Foley Racing and El-Mirage, i Googled that and found this very exiting forum. And plenty of more scary race veichles.
Ill guess i will learn alot and find all kind of interesting information and data here as well im gladly share pictures, videos and knowlede for any one who are interested.
Ride on . . .
Valand
