Got the chance to take the son's cars to a 1/4 mile racetrack, - Mission Raceway.
Ferry to the mainland is $300ish each roundtrip, with the trailers .

Both these vehicles came on the property as shells, had a ton of fun doing them, and any time spent with your kids is bonus.
All mechanical, interior, body and paintwork was done by us.

The blue one has a Frankenstein 340 + 0.060 motor we threw together, (building a stroker) Stage 3 truck crank, heavy, no balance, - stock pistons, not sure what cam, (not Comp), 780, Doug's thru exhaust, 4:56, - 295/55/15, - hooks really well . Best was 13.6. Son learned to start pulling the shifter waay before you fan the clutch .

The green one is member @nfhDODGEnfh car, he sought guidance from some of you regarding nitrous, which I have limited experience.
It's a sweet 340 +0.030, can't remember cam, (not Comp), stock pistons/heads, 780, nitrous, Doug's thru exhaust, 3:55, drag radials, it also hooks.
They were hoping 12's, - best was 13.09, I believe .

Last week, fishing off the West Coast, lotsa action, best was 21 lb spring salmon, with quite a few smaller being released.
Great fun.
Cheers

I can't wait to see em come up the rivers
 
Great post, looking for some freash hump backs to soon hit the market soon.
 
Sounds like an awesome weekend!

It’s unreal how expensive the ferry is with vehicles and that‘s only if they are running and you have a reservation on them!
 
Time to fire up the smoker. I have an Alaskan smoked salmon recipe that I found online, that is to die for.
