Hoist the Colors!..The Jolly Roger is set to sail!

Well.... it's been sailing for many years now..... my Good buddy art Misuraca Hails from the Sunny shores of Lake Erie..... Wreaking havoc among the local drag tracks.... Engine by Ross Racing,this 6 deuce Firebreathing 371 takes no prisoners!
Capt. Art has been terrorizing the competition for years.... and is always tinkering to squeeze more for the main sails of his glory ship.
The name Jolly Roger was Art's Uncle who served in a bomber group during WWII in the South Pacific.... Art's Uncle flew in a Liberator that was called the Jolly Roger.

Candy is DANDY!

My very good pal Neil Candy just got terrific news.... he made the front cover of SRM!
A great wonderful article and AWESOME shots by super shooter, Chuck Vranas!
4 pages in the next upcoming issue of the mag.

Neil is a very modest fella...... and his work is impeccable..... I am extremely biased,... but he has helped me out more than anyone can imagine.
Great insight and a direct vision...... The Candyman has a 1-2 Knock out punch when it comes to building Hotrods and race cars.......

Well Done Neil!

Yea Paul..... It makes me smile too.....

My Buddy Paul Dunbar is a special guy.... he has the golden touch on all his projects and seems to have fun at anything he does.
Hot Rodder and Drag Racer... he is another one who has made a mark on me in the drag world.
The Candy Man and I went to see Paul a few weeks back to see his latest project...(more on that later)
As we were standing talking and bench racing in his shop..I noticed the background noise.....now most guys will have a pile of there favorite tunes drifting softly as they work in the shop or when guest arrive to have a cool,cold one.
But, this was different.
Paul recorded a few of those old Drag sound LP's from the early 60's and threw them together on a few CD's.... Magnificent!!!!!!!!!
For the last 3 weeks...when I am out to the shop, I flip the switch and listen for 2 hours to the great music of Fuelers,stockers, Gassers and Alterds as background Music.

Beethoven can't hold a candle to these kats.....


Scooby doo Whaaaaaaaa..........

One bad Bugg...it's the Super Fly!

It's no secret....I have been bitten...bitten very badly... and it started with a FLY Bite.....
No.not some pesky insect... but the Drag racing Bug....
I always liked drag racing... but it seemed so far away.....a Rich mann sport nowadays.
Just like FI,Nascar or Dirt track stuff.
But I met a fella years ago that changed all that. Chris LaGrange.
Yep... Chris owns and drives the "Drag N Fly"... an early Model A Sedan that is a real throwback to the Glory days of Quarter mile haul'in.Yea guys... REAL DRAG RACING.
No big dollar,500 K passes here.A real family deal.Chris's Dad is a team mate and has been a Drag Racer for a heck of a long time.
Powered by a period perfect Sbc injected chevy....this thing really does fly!I believe the great Dan Barnett lettered the car.
When I first met Chris...., we talked a lot about his drag car.I was hooked.
Chris is an avid hotrodder as well...all kinds of great stuff....
I have not seen Chris in a while but do speak occasionally thru email and he is doing well.A devoted family man and Hard working joe.. he hails out of Slackerville Oklahoma.(I think it's Palookaville's Twin city.... but I ain't positive.)
If you have seen this car in person... you know what i am talking about.I need to see the car make a pass at the Hamb Drags and I hope to see this soon. Chris and his wife Kim, are good folks.I met them thru my good friend Bob Owens.I was even made an honorary member of the Oklahoma Eliminators!

Check out da Fly!

The world needs more Chris LaGranges.
