SLV FAST FRIENDS, a local non-profit charity I run, is bringing the dirt drags back to Monte Vista, Colorado. The Hot Rod Dirt Drags took place here for five years, but the last event was in 2019. The strip is on the site of an historic dirt airfield that served as an auxiliary US Army airfield...

This may belong on the Car Show page....I'll post it there, too. :) SLV FAST FRIENDS, a local non-profit charity I run, is bringing the dirt drags back to Monte Vista, Colorado. The Hot Rod Dirt Drags took place here for five years, but the last event was in 2019. The strip is on the site of an...

I got the third novel in my series of vigilante justice action thrillers published in October of 2021. It's weird thinking that I am actually a published author. I did some writing for Thunder Press 25 years ago or so, and sent a few articles to magazines, but never actually thought I would sit...

I sold my '56 Ford Fairlane to a guy who offered to pay what I asked...:D I bought a '71 Mustang coupe from a friend because he made me a deal in order to see what I will do to/with it. It already has the front suspension/engine/transmission/rear end stuff taken care of, so at least I can save...

I got a '63 Falcon Futura with a 170 Special I6...I'd like to find a 250 (same block, 80 more cubes). Anyone know what vehicles they came in other than 69-73 Mustangs?

I've been gone for awhile, dealing with "stuff". Our old adobe house started falling down after we had spent most of our savings remodeling the entire interior. We used what funds we had left to buy a junky old trailer to have a place to live in. I started taking side jobs, building food trucks...

I haven't been on here for awhile, due to working crazy hours trying to make enough cash to get our trailer ready to live in before the old adobe house falls down completely. I've been working at a friend's shop, building a food truck (the first of three) for a customer. Any time away from...

As you may have read in the weekend thread, I had a ball-joint come apart on my '56. I have decided to go through the entire front suspension with a very critical eye to see if anything else looks amiss. I think, while I have everything apart, I'll replace the coil springs and stock shocks with...

I took my wife and one of my sons to a small waterfall we sailed my parents' ashes off of years ago. This is usually a scenic little waterfall with a decent amount of water coming over the edge. Today, with the runoff from a snow total over 600% of normal, the amount of water flowing over the...

I spent the day at the venue where the Dirt Drags are being held. No racing today, just tech inspections, a free pig roast, and everyone checking out all the machinery. I thought I'd post some of the pics I took today, as I'll be pretty busy tomorrow, staging,racing,staging, racing, etc. :)

Wow...over 400 cars parked on the streets of small Florence, Colorado! There was a real variety, from new Hellcats and Vettes to original T's and everything in between. I'll post some of my favorites, and some I think you guys will like.

I happened across this today... Some really cool Corvairs, a "teaching tool", and a bunch of Corvair fanatics.

I am NOT a carburetor guy...period. They baffle me. But I need to re-jet the Holley in my Ford. When I bought the car, it had a worn-out 390 FE motor wit a brand-new Holley 600. I sold the FE, kept the Holley. It's on my box-stock roller-cam 5.0 small block now. The engine runs great, but rich...

This event is so much fun! I didn't have the Heathen ready last year, but have already registered for this year's event. I grew up driving fast on dirt roads around Monte Vista, and can't wait to get out there with all the other cars!:D:D:D

I live in a big valley on top of the Rockies. (7,600' of elevation on the valley floor) I've been working a lot on a side job and trying to get some writing done, but yesterday I took my wife out for a drive and a hike. I'd found what looked like an abandoned old mine vent shaft on Google...

I'm not sure what to call this... :D I found it while sorting potato seed at a local farm. Wisconsin engine on the front, small backhoe on the back, weird rubber tracks around four regular tires and wheels, hydraulic drive.

I'm working on my new novel, and am thinking of cover ideas. How hard would it be for someone proficient in Photoshop to add the old adobe shack to the photo of the rocks? Maybe even built into the base of the rocks? (of course, my son will be removed from the image) :)

Just in case any of you folks would be interested, I saw this on FB. 1946 Dodge D24C $1,200 Manassa, CO Selling my 46 d24c. It is pretty much stripped of the gauges engine and trans. Solid car, extremely little rust, cab floors and trunk floor are solid as well as the spare tire well. Awesome...

While working on a couple of wiring projects for other people, I was ordering a bunch of zip ties, split loom, clamps, etc. I came across these and ordered a bag. What a cool idea! I'd never seen anything like this before. They're /4" square, with two sided tape on the back. There are two sets...

I came across this and thought it was kinda cool. :)
