I envy the US boys because I watch alot of drag racing on U-tube. I pay alot attention to the dragstrips they use. Alot of the strips seem to have just the basic tracks, no frills or over-expendature. They have so many more strips per head of population. I know there are legalities with insurance and liabilities. Surely there are 'use at own risk' options the racers could sign. Perhaps we should find what  legal system they use in the US because if there is any country that is bottled up with legalities and liabilities, its the US. Yet they still seem to have many working, simple race tracks.  Here in WA we have  one dragstrip for the entire state!!! And a quality track it is but more simple tracks dotted over the state would help the racers habits!  

Hmm not sure about the last coment, as I have attended meets at other venues including the north west (it was some time ago though), but must agree with the sentiment more cheap venues. It keeps people like me off the street and saves my drive way :+.
cheers

Was that the Newman drags? Isn't it an airstrip converted for special drag meets? Or is it always set up for dragracing? Haven't been myself but have been told about it.

Your right, it was Newman and set up for the event. Another is Collie that is more permanent.
Just indicating what comunities can organise if they see a need.  

I remember years ago there was a drag meet on a farm in Dowerin. The track was marked out on a really, shiny-hard clay pan, in a paddock.The Farmer had done alot of prep work, apparently. The boys still talk about it. A mate took his hq 2door Monaro up there and whipped a few of the Northam boys. Northam/Toodyay rivalry was thick back then. Anyway it was hell fun and good we sorted out who's cars did what safely and legally. Unfortunately my holden friend still gloats about beating all the fords that day.:_  

Another was a couple of years ago, one of the winery's in, I think the Swan Valley used to run  adrag session on there property one Sunday a year.

Anyway kwinana starts again soon, maybe see a few folks there.
cheers

This piece of random sh*t and alleged history explains that in the olden days of sailing ships, cannon balls were stacked on the decks on brass plates called "monkeys."  The plates had indentions in them that held the balls on the bottoms of the stacks.  Brass, however, expands and contracts with the temperature and if it got cold enough, the cannonballs could fall...giving real foundation to the phrase "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey!"

A man walks into a petrol station and says, 'can I please have a KitKat Chunky?'
The lady behind the till gets him a KitKat Chunky and brings it back to him.
'No,' says the man, 'I wanted a normal KitKat, you fat bitch.

The term "Getting your ass in a sling" comes from the tail turret gunners in the WW2 B24 Liberator. space was limited so the seat for the gunner was a canvas sling which would be rigged after entry into the turret!

Well with the lack of progress on my mustang i have resorted to my 1976 4cyl  Dyna for stimulation.  Like any car enthused rev head in the search and extraction of 'MORE' power i have done the following:
 The nikki carb came off and a weber went on. The manifold has been replaced with a set of Lukey extractors. 8mm leads and a Pertronix electronic ignition has been ordered. 14in thermo fan and extra hvy dty radiator. Pod filter ordered.
Amazed with the weber, she fired straight up and idled.
Clame to Fame?  Fastest 1976 Dyna in WA. :w:w:w:w

Stay tuned for my next hot-up article: The Lawn mower (pod air filter, bigger carby,Nos....):w:w:w
