Well guys, I didn't get to make it out to the track tonight to see the 'TexasKingofTheHill' streetcar shoot-out but I did make it up to Kellers drive-in & there was 8, yep eight, pro-street 73-87 short fleets in attendance & 5 of them were bigblocks & 3 of those had 'juice'. It was pretty dang cool.... although I should have driven the 74, we drove the 02 T/A instead. I talked w/one guy who had a front tilt hood on an 84 that was sharp & I'm going to attempt to get in touch w/the guy (or his shop) that did the work for info./pricing.

There was a late '70's short bed running the test & tune at KOTH tonight. He was running consistant 7.50's and lower! No pics of it though, it was too dark once he started running.

What the hell! Everytime we go to Keller's, Brandon (79BIG10), Steve (Txstruck), and I are the only ones with 73-87s!!! I want to see some of these pro-steets.

79BIG10 · 03-17-2003, 10:19 AM

Same here!! We never see those great rides like that anymore

DAYUM!! You have to get a camera man!!

And hey...get us some pics of that T/A as well.

Well I was out there the last Fri. night that you guys got together & there is no comparison to a Saturday night. Come early or you wont get a spot. I was doing yard work all day Sat & didn't clean-up to make it out there until after 8pm & had to park out on the very last row.... you know, right next to the trash dumpster.

Didn't get the camera yesterday since I was still finishing up w/the yard work. I filled all 18ft of my car hauler up w/lawn size trash bags full of dead grass & leaves & every minute of it sucked. Camera shopping is tonight after I run out of light assembling my newly purchased short-fleet bedsides on my beater. Any recommendations on a good digital camera, not top of the line, but not crap either??
