Hi my name is Mike and I'm addicted to piperacks with BBF's in them...

Seriously.....a buddy of mine has a good deal on Racetech 225" hardtail. Been looking to sell it. Set up for a BBF. Includes trans. Complete roller. Just add converter and engine. Good Car. 96 model. Black with candy purple powdercoat chassis. Located in north east Alabama. Owner will be at the BBF race with his door car.

David,

I've definitely been looking at them. My plan is to finish my Mustang, sell it and buy another piperack. There are some good deals out there right now too. Been talking with my brother about it and we may just end up pooling our resources and get one car together that either one of us can drive. Trying to work on two is a down right PITA!!!

I'm looking at maybe getting a new one this spring, the old one I picked up had some frame issues......

check out RJ ad # 2597716 this car is in my posession and is nice with 150-200 runs total.

Makes I-80 look like amateur night out.....

Equipment in Saudi is in very poor condition, pretty dangerous stuff.

10-4! I guess I'll keep doing what I'm doing...

Dave what power plant you gona put in the dragster ( I like to see your new 466 combo )

That will be the first engine in the dragster, then I'll step it up with an a460 engine.

Howdy gang, I guess I'll post some pics of my junk on here too. From what I understand it was built in the 70's (?) and raced in Cali with a NA BBC then made its way up here to the Great White North and was bought by the Childs' family and repainted. It soon got a blown alky SBC and was the first Dragster in the state of Alaska to break into the 7's back in the day.
I've owned it now for about 4 years and have been trying to get it in the wind ever since. It took a little head scratching to shoe horn the 385 series and JW Glide between the narrow rails but it's a done deal.
I'm hung up on procuring a set of DBL's for the rear so if any of you pipe rack freaks have a usable pair gathering dust maybe we can make a deal I need a pair of 17"X16" DBL's with a 5 on 5 1/5" BC with a 3" BS, pretty standard stuff for the bigger diggers and FC's. (Go easy on me kids, I'm tryin' to raise a 5 year old and build a Race Car at the same time lol).
Here she is...."The American Way" Dragster.

The Crew Chief, Joshua Tai

I've got lots more pics but I'll save them for later.
Thanks for looking
