Thumbs up Z max

I had the pleasure of meeting Dave and Dallas at the Z-Max nmca event. This was the first time I had been to Z- Max Dragway and the first NMCA event also. Both are very impressive and are class acts. I have raced the Bristol Dragway owned and rebuilt by Bruton Smith and he does not do anything halfway. There is one problem, in that, the staging lanes are have a slight incline and it really is hard on a race car to have to start and move up several times. Dave had a problem on his first time trial with a weak charge on his battery and his engine temp. was up do the several
move up and waits. All brand are represented there but it is very much a Ford show. My heart is with the NSS Cars and there are some really nice cars running very good numbers.
I live 85 miles from Z Max and I plan to go back on Sunday? I am in the process of rebuilding my '63 Savoy Max Wedge Clone. I have missed much of this season with the car being in the Fab Shop for mini-tubs and narrow dana and my transmission guy says he finished rebuilding and I can pick it up 8/8. Now I can order a new driveshaft and after some assembly required, I can start testing and tweaking what will be a complete new set-up with bigger tires, disc brakes, Cal-Tracs and 60 more cubic inches of Raised Block Wedge.
When I go back Sunday, I will try to get more pictures and get my grandson to show me how to upload the to this site.
If you ever get a chance to meet Dave in person, please do. I only spent a few minutes with him but I can assure you he is the real deal and what you see is definitely what you get. After all he is a MOPAR GUY!!!
