Great photos tmm. My camera would DIE right away because it was so cold and only got a couple pics. It was really neat. I took the Charger home and come back to get the 49 and low and behold, there was a working heater that is from a old Mopar in my truck!!!!!! Come to find out a buddy had some items at the swapmeet and nobody even looked at it. He said he set there and looked at the 49, looked at the heater and thought yep!!!!!! How awesome is that? Only Mopar people do things like that he has a 71 Demon with a aluminum 318(yes the block is aluminum) notice anything else? Also are pics of the heater and the whopping 2 pics I took today lol. TMM! It was great seeing you!

I saw that heater on the tarp when I was looking through the swap meet. I didn't know you needed one till we talked later. Nice to see you too!

Very cool, great job at capturing all those cool rides. It was almost like being there in person, except I got to view all the cars from the warmth of my living room. I just don't get to hear any run.




Thanks, I was going to try a video or two at the starting line but I didn't have much camera battery. Glad You enjoyed the show too. Mike
Thanks, Aj

Thanks guys. I was on a mission. It was cold and there were cool cars and I had limited battery in my camera. I took about a hundred pics and put a few miles on to do it. I had to go home during the noon hour to recharge the camera battery and warm up with a bowl of soup. I had a great time and caught up with quite a few Mopar friends. Today will be nicer at the strip. It's 33 degrees now at 9 am but the sky is clear and the sun is shining. tmm
 
Cool pics Mike! Did you see a 64 Dodge Station Wagon called "The Original Candy Wagon?" Red and white striped with red tinted windows, really cool drag car.
 
I think I've seen that car before but not this time around. tmm

Congrat's Tom! That thing was flying. Don't you usually dial 8.88? The traction was definitely there. 1.203/60 ft. is super good. I'll have to stop over with some photos I printed. Mike

Great photos Mike, looks like it was really cold! Thanks for sharing.
 
The red Coronet caught fire on the return road and damaged the front of the car. Luckily the driver/owner only got minor burns to his fingers when he tried to put the fire out. I felt so bad for the guy that I couldn't snap a bunch of photos of the damage. tmm[/QUOTE]

I caught this guy's post on Moparts. He posted some photos that I saved to my file. Just makes me sick but he is planning on rebuilding it this winter. Don't know what caused the fire. As soon as he noticed the problem he turned everything off from inside the car and got out and tripped the master disconnect. The battery cable insulation was melted and the cable was shorted to ground. His fuel pump just kept pumping. Dang, I feel for the guy! tmm
