Thanks Bill! I've watched these last two with Ricky over and over and they never get boring. It's too bad there aren't too many cacklers here in Michigan. You are very fortunate to be able to hang out with those guys. Tell Ricky thanks as well.

At 7:12---what a coincidence---with the trees in the background behind the trailer and the Chevy pick-up----it looks just like the OCIR pits with I-5 right behind the trees.

Hi Mike. Ricky is in Tucson, Arizona and I’m in Carlsbad, California. There’s just too much distance between us. They were good times while they lasted. Thanks for asking. Bill

Notice he don't stand right beside it ? Sometimes the block will split right in half, Nitro can be dangerous, don't forget those old 1957/8 cast iron blocks are pretty brittle after 60 + years, he's got a big load of Nitro in that old Chrysler

as you know my slingshot dragster will be a ,220in chassis and I will be have the car built in Australia as far I knew there are not that many Fuelers that are powered by the ford shotgun hemi V8 the only drag car that had that motor was the Gatt bros falcon but their motor was an alky engine whereas my engine will be a nitro motor as you knew I gonna run a slingshot Fueler with the alloy shotgun hemi I've read and article in a magazine about the ford SOHC engine that's was used in drag racing as far I knew the ford hemi 429 was a latecomer as the funds to further make these motor more competitive amongst the more powerful Chrysler 392 and the larger 426 hemis that's why I want to be different by running a ford 429 hemi as I knew these drag racing engines will be a challenge for me as a rookie tuner/driver even so with the ford SOHC motor I will be as fast as the Chryslers and I will be plenty fast too as I get a handle on the unique maintenance needs on these engines I will have no issues performing all the post run maintenance myself with a bit of help from my skeletal crew and we are gonna have fun running my slingshot Fueler as I knew my career will be started with my first slingshot Fueler and it will be called Forever Precious in memory of my late dad who was a 22yr veteran of the NSW Police in Australia this will be the place where the car will reside as I knew my slingshot will be in light blue fading to a dark blue and I will have a sea horse on the cowl on the side I will have in memory of my dear father this car will be raced as I will be using the car to fire up in my dads memory say when I have his mates from the police force see the car firing up and have the cook header fire and I will have my family film the car havin the wild header fire getting taller as I hand blip the throttle and say to the family member was it good id say and all of my fathers mates will be happy for me if I was sitting in the slingshot dragster during the firing up with the breather mask and helmet and the goggles worn when I have the breather mask on and the helmet as I am ready I roll forwards on the road I will be using for the moving cackling shows with the big header fires showing as I roll forwards at the car show like Chromefest and other hot rod show like that where dragsters are shown that's why I love to build my first slingshot Fueler to race and to have fun as I knew Im a rookie tuner/driver as I knew my first slingshot will be a nice example of a nice nostalgia Fueler but with a newer style roll cage in the need to comply with the rules that's with my home country's sanctioning body that's ANDRA as the rules may be the same as the NHRA's as far I knew that why I build my slingshots to comply with ANDRA Regs and rules this way I can race them all the time that's how I go about it my way but have fun
