It seems during the shops history, it may have restored some drag race related vehicles. This story also has been reported nationally, by another prominent news reporting agency MSNBC.

Tim Hay, one of our very best, has succumbed to injuries suffered in a crash, Saturday night, at the Fuel Altered World Finals at Eddyville Raceway in Iowa. This is a note from our Outlaw Fuel Altered Association leadership:

"We are saddened to report our friend Tim Hay, crashed in the final round of a race in Eddyville, Iowa on Saturday night, and has died from injuries sustained in that crash. Eyewitnesses reported the car was on a good run and about 300' smoked the tires, went sideways and ran head on into the guardrail, rolling several times. Tim was a big part of our group and a friend to all who knew him. We will miss his enthusiasm for life and great sense of humor. This is a note we wish we would never have to write.

We will get back to you when we know more.

Bobby and Nancy"

The brief time that I knew Tim, he proved to me that you can have a very successful racing effort, be the family man that every one of us wants and needs to be, a good friend, and still have plenty left over for life in general. He will be sorely missed by all that knew him. My prayers go out to his family, and please make them parts of yours, too.

Yesterday, Friday August 20, 2010 Brian Darcy in his front engine dragster set the new National Record at 6.812 for the A/Nostalgia Dragster class in the Competition Eliminator Category, at the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, Northeast Division, NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event at Cecil County Dragway. Today, Saturday August 21, 2010 he backed that record up within 1% with a 6.82 in second round qualifying action. This can be verified at the web link provided below:

Like Ron, I do not want to see them to start evolving into aerodynamic cars like today's in the Big Show. I will lose interested in the Nostalgia cars if they evolve like Ron is afraid they will. I hope the owners are reading this, and realize what some are trying to do and stop it. Also, I hope the NHRA looks at this, and monitors it closer. Maybe they need a Nostalgia Liaison, if they do not already have one, like they have for the Nitro cars in the Big Show

I bought a new fiberglass ’71 Mach 1 funny car body from Jeff Gaynor. He has a driver headed from California to Illinois on I-40 (north Texas) on August 20th (+/_ a day or so) that will drop off the body free if I can find a place to store it for two weeks. It has to be somewhere along I-40 (Amarillo/OKC?).

I'm stuck on a 7-12's job near Houston and can't get up there until September 6th or 7th to pick it up.:confused:

Anyone up that way have a place that I could stash it until Labor Day or a couple of days after?

The body weighs around 110 lbs, so its easily handled by two people. The driver will help get it off the small trailer it's on. :)

Email me if you can help.
