Milwaukee World of Wheels

[Ma Snart]

World of Wheels Show in Milwaukee this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at State Fair Park.

I will be there with my Cuda. Stop by and ask for "Tractor Steve" at the Hoodlums car club display. It would be nice to meet some of the FABO members face to face.

I thought that was totally bitchin. Was kinda dissapointed last year, there were much less cars than the two previous years. I'll be there on Sunday (hopefully) wearing my FABO T shirt.

Thanks for the kind words.

The Cuda has a 440 bored and stroked to 500 cc putting out over 750HP. The car and engine were built as projects for Mopar Muscle Magazine by the Technical Editor Dave Young in 2005 - 2009. I bought the car last Sept from Dave who taught his wife to bracket race in it. It will run mid to low 9's.

Look forward to meeting you guys this weekend

Looks like your spraying it, does it do 9's on the bottle?? thats fast either way, do you run it a Great lakes dragway?? I'm not sure where Burlington is, guess I should google it.. It will be good to meet, Wayne (Dustpan340) is a great guy we met at last years Mopar Nats, neither one of us had or dusters there though....

750HP & 9's without the bottle. I have never run the bottle and doubt I will.

I have been to Great Lakes Dragaway twice making 6 passes total. I had never driven a drag car before so it was quite a hair raising experiance!!! The first couple runs scared the crap out of me!! But I was careful and followed Dave's instructions on how to learn to drive the beast. My fourth run was 10.78 with me getting out of it at 1000 ft so as not to go under 10 sec. You are not allowed to run under 10 sec without a NHRA license.

Hey 412 Stroker

Yeah am really sorry to not hook up. Dustpan said I just missed you. I agree about his car. I posted some of my pictures of his car on the sixpack thread where we met.

His car was sweet. I used the word crisp. He did such an excellent job of mixing custom parts into the pristine body. The whole car felt like it was designed and built the way it is.

Anyway, I see I never answered your question about the purple Cuda in the video or the Camero.

The Cuda is owned by a guy named George - Forget his last name but he lives in the western suberbs of the Milwauukee area. Over the last couple years I have seen his car and started drooling immediately. It is awesome. The paint and body work are unbelievable. He runs 11.2 consistent with a small block.

The Camero is owned by a freind Swantz who is helping me learn to race. It runs low 9's without the bottle, but he is getting it ready to go on the bottle.

Me and the fins at 2010 Great Lakes Mopar Day for my first time down a drag strip (in any car) - 18.95 (with my mechanic Swantz riding along!) and I lost my 1st race - Ha!
