Skate And Destroy
Well I had a pretty good time at E-Town on Sunday. Weather was good, racing was good. Though I don't care much about show cars, it was nice to see a decent turn out. Even managed to talk to a few people this time (which I don't normally do) including members Ken (Physixx) and Dave (Stroked 340) a couple other guys from the pits including Billy, (the guy with the '65 Valiant J Stocker) and Cliff who had the white and purple Dart. Even ran into Ray from Jersey, the guy who bought my old Valiant. He drove the old girl out and I got to see it once again, still running strong. The only thing that sucked was getting home, took me 3 hours to get back to Suffolk County. I was fried. I hate Staten Island.
You know, even the swap meet was better than I expected - not like holy crap good but at least there more vendors than last year (at least it seemed like it) and there was some decent stuff to be had. There were some ridiculous prices though, like a set of bare '308' heads for $600(!) and a mystery 904 trans. I looked at for $400 despite the seller not knowing what was in it. Ended up buying some cheap tools for work and a goofy t-shirt for my kid.
Anyhoo, I always take tons of pics whenever I go to an event like this so here they are for you to enjoy. Hope you dig 'em.
Apparently a racecar from day one.
Cool old school stickers.
Street racer.
This Dart was pretty quick.
Big Block Demon.
Couple burn out pics.
Few from the staging lanes. The AWB blew up at the line, DNF.
Possibly my favorite car of the show, a '65 Valiant that runs a 273 in J/SA. Went 11.93!
Ken (Physixx) checking tire pressure before his run.
Can you say 1980?
FAST guy Ralph's new Belvedere, sporting 572". Ran 11.70s.
Inside a stock eliminator car.
Billy and Wacky Jack's Performance. Those are 255/60/15 tires if you're wondering.
Very cool throw back Challenger. Please note, it's very difficult to take a
photo at E-Town without a pole sticking up out of the top of the car.
Blue Whale.
This Duster was really nice and fast. Crashed on the big end during
eliminations. Driver was not hurt.
Funky old A100.
I see this monstrosity driving around my town.
Vintage preserved race car.
Doo-Doo brown Dippy.
Killer stance.
My old car!
Very quick and clean Duster.
This little Valiant was packing big-block power. Went low 12's.
Big tires.
SuperStockRacer from Moparts. I think he was in the final at Pinks at
Maple Grove.
Dave (Stroked 340) was there with his crew from Bahstun.
Killer Kuda. Never saw it run. Might be a 'no time' car.
Fast Challenger with a pole sticking out of it.
Mean green machine.
Dwayne Porter power.
Brooklyn In Da House!
I think they got treed in their match race...
Body in white, under construction.
That's all folks. Hope you enjoyed the show.
