Intro...Geez I really miss drag racing

[coupemerc]

Hi everyone. My name is Chuck Waters. I started drag racing in 1976 with a big block Camaro, moved up to gas FEDs and on to NHRA Top Alcohol Dragsters in 1989. My best ET and speed is 5.97@233mph. I've been out of racing since 1995 but I should be back out again this year with a new Jr Fuel car.

Hi Chuck how are you doing on the car ? I like the pictures of your block on the HAMB super light!

[coupemerc]

Hey Bill. Thanks for asking about the car. I'm presently still working on the final piston design which is the last "major" thing that needs finishing. The block has a bit over 30 lbs machined out of it.

Hi Chuck.  Thanks for pictures,  "First Class"   DF

Thanks DF. Here is a picture of the block. Hopefully we haven't gone "over center" on the lightening!

Chuck - I see you're going for the total package this time around.  You must stay up waaay later at night then the rest of us : )  DF

Luke...you hit the nail on the head. At this point I have lists for my lists.

Nand P build nice rides!

[coupemerc]

Yeah they really do...and there is much more than meets the eye to make it fast. Frank and Scott have probably already forgotten more than I'll ever know about these cars.
