My name is Tom Welch, Bakersfield, CA. Would just like to say hello to everyone on the site. I have been racing Nostalgia Altered & FM Dragsters for 47+ years. Picture is of my altered that I sold a few years back to fund my new vintage dragster. The car was 125" WB, Mark Williams 9", 4.56 gears, PG, 33x14.5 Goodyears, 502 BBC injected on alcohol, Car was a N/E-2 8.50 index ride that went best of 8.05@160 off the index. Great car, lots of fun to drive.
I'm 67 years old and my rides are going slower as I get older. My new SDRA Vintage dragster runs low 13's with a 194 chevy 6 cylinder.
At my age it is all about just making passes and having fun with good friends.
Thanks for the great site.
