East Bay Muscle Cars new shop toy

[EBMC]

Its been a long time coming, but we finally picked up a 6.0 cert roller locally and plan on running A/Gas in the NHRA heritage series. It was a small block car and were in the process of transplanting a Donovon/Big Chief 632.(1250 hp) Building headers, setting up the drysump and changing driver position. The color scheme will change once we get the it dialed in and the bugs worked out, well probably go with a dark vinyl wrap, black chassis and Black chrome the wheels.

We have a busy 2012 car show schedule planned with a couple of cars were debuting. So well see what extra weekends we can squeeze in to maybe do a WCHRA or PSCA as well as the Heritage Series.

Looks like a lot of fun. I grew up in the Bay Area, where is the closest strip to you? Doesn Fremont still exist or is it Sonoma?

Fremont has been closed since 89. I still have the "last drag race" Tshirt! Sonoma and Sacramento are the closest tracks to us.

That's a killer Steve.

Sears point is one of the best drag tracks in the nation, you have to take a beast like that out and run it at least a few times a year!

I used to work about 100yds from where the sand trap was at Fremont. Used to race there in HS. What a shame it's gone. The land is still not being used.

I used to help them when they ran NHRA Comp Elminator or the Goodguys stuff in A/Gas. Unfortunately my buddy who also had a killer Nova waded it up down in Bakersfield. Overall the same style car you have but it had an older 500" Pro Stock motor that made about the same power as yours. Best hit was 7.46. Good thing with your combo is you do it with less effort! Good luck and nice to take time away for yourself!

Thanks, that car looks familiar I may have seen it in its glory days.

We probably raced each other at Fremont! I spent every Weds night there and raced in "The last drag race" in 89. Lots of great memories there. In fact I bought a new truck at Fremont GMC last Monday and test drove it right to the end of the street where the strip used to be, hadn't been down that way in a looooong time!
