The "Ramster" To Maxton or the Salt that is the question.

[Cajun Kid]

Joe "Nitro Joe" Atwell  crew chief for the Venable Rods and Racing 1933 Vicky # 806 decides to do a little work on his 1946 Dodge "VooDoo Speed and Kustom"  Ramster project.  Venable is prodding Joe to run the Ramster at Maxton.

Who knows what the future holds.

 That looks awesome . The car Charles built is just beautiful . I wish I could build a hot rod of my own .
  I have bin dreaming of racing on the salt since I can remember. Now that it is becoming a reality . I Have to wounder .
How much damage dose salt do to these old cars? I would not drive my car in the winter because they salt the roads
 I see videos of cars riding through puddles of salt 
 Is it something that needs to be dealt with? Or do you just steam clean it all away and ride home?

Do a search in the archives on salt prep and clean up. There's a lot to it and has to be done.

 I have bin checking that out, It looks like part of what it takes to run Bonnivlle. It is not bad if you are prepaired for it.
 Thanks

LVMaxx,

I think the VooDoo Speed & Kustoms Ramster has a mind of it's own, when going much over 60mph and it hits a bump sometimes it decides to change lanes or meander around all on it's own... Joe has a bit more suspension and steering work to do before he even attempts and speed, either on the street or the track.

It is Rat Rod, or better yet and Old School Retro Ride, just for fun, shows and cruise in's... But I am still prodding Joe to run it when it has better high speed manners.
