Don’t listen to him, AJ. Kyle sold out and bought one of those wedge thingies! Apparently, buying an entirely new car was cheaper!

AJ, are we going to see a Hemi powered IROC???

I took a ride out to Spitzer with Rich on Saturday. Cool ass place, neat to see the stuff on the jigs and in the bays. We walked past a '56 Crown Vic that was down to bare metal and into the dragster shop. Guy in there had his '57 T-Bird, beatiful car. He started it up and moved it, and there was no way it was a y-block 312, and I said that to him. He said it's close, and lifted the hood... new 4.6 Mustang engine (281 ci), mated to a 6 speed and a 9", Spitzer did all the chassis work. Found out later that is was Paul Romine, former Top Fuel driver with the Carquest sponsorship. The Crown Vic is his too, and a Ford 427 aluminum block is going in it.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh
maybe the hemi is gonna go into a nice red polara

Don't forget Chuck, they also had his airplane in the shop too...

Way to go richie, you post and now the board goes silent......LOL

Aj

He's like that.

Though I notice you haven't confirmed or denied a hemi powered IROC, AJ.

I guess when you think of me, you think of people not talking much?

Conversation is seldom.

Its okay Richie I still like you.

Chuck we will confirm NO HEMI powered IROC but there is still the golf cart!!!

AJ

so is everyone ready for xmas?
i cant believe that its less than 3 weeks away. guess it just means racing season is getting closer.
well the car is off to the paint stop next week ro have the RISLONE ( bill reicherts A/FUEL dragster paint scheme) put on it.
we are getting really excited for april to get here. ryan just wants the new hammer to breath fire

Ready for x-mas? yikes...we'll worry about that on the 23rd!

that is one sweeeeeeeet grill. AJ , if you build it, they will come
here is a pic from the link

Obligatory decal…

Rich, I don't think anyone who knows the Patons thinks of them as the shy, silent types.

I don't think Brianna needs to be any more dangerous on the golf cart than she already is!

Though the Worshams nitro powered margarita mixer would look good next to that grill!

I dig Christmas, just wish time didn't move so fast.

2+2=4
4+4=8
8+8=16

Ray, is that the test to become a dragster driver?

BAR'S LEAKS just sent us the new 2007 paint scheme for ryans car. this is for bill reicherts A/FUEL dragster but the same will go on ryans car to make it the sister car for the team.
just no wings

I don't know about the anniversary... if I hear anything I'll post it.

Today is Frank Tedesco's birthday, in case y'all didn't hit the PRP site.

..... after taking a 10+ year, self-imposed exile from that track, I visited the 'new' track in July of '02:
within 45 minutes of arriving, 'some-guy' in a Track Offical shirt walks-up to my fiancee & I, and announces:
"I know who you are, I know why you left, and we want to keep you as a customer....."


Stunned, I reply, " O-kay....... and just who are YOU?"


"I'm Frank Tedesco..... enjoy the races!", and he went about his duties:
I'd NEVER seen the guy before in my life, but every time I went to the track after that evening, he ALWAYS stopped-by to say 'Hello' us, no-matter if we were in the pits as racers, or sitting in the grandstands.

hey ray..how about posting a picture of your new pipe rack.or are you going to keep us all wondering just how nice its going to be????since you wont return any phone calls..and i cant come and see it for myself...
