Based in Seattle, WA., this is a family based team that has competed in drag racing since the late ’60′s.
We once competed in Modified Production with our ’57 prior to switching to bracket racing. The ’57 is still basically in Modified Production trim with a 331 cubic-inch (327) with tunnel ram and dual 660 Holleys.
We still run the Doug Nash 5-speed coupled to a Ram clutch and roll the shifter like the old days.
The Strange 9″ Ford has 5.83 gears.
Our ’71 Chevelle wagon was virtually rebuilt over the winter of 2008 with a new 406 cubic-inch small block replacing our old 350. Driven by Chris he has poured his heart and soul in this car and had great success in having a runner-up finish at a National Open in 2006 in Super Pro. It features a TH-400 with a trans brake and delay box and 4:88 gears in a beefed-up 12-bolt. [Note: The old 12-bolt gave up under the strain in August 2011 cracking the center and bending the axle tubes. It will be replaced with a 9-inch Ford with 4.71 gears over the winter]
Both cars have ladder bar and rear coil-over suspensions.
Torri and Paul share the driving in her ’66 Tempest which is a work in progress. This car has run in the low 12′s and is a true street/strip ride! Torri’s Tempest features a 400 c.i. Pontiac engine, TH-350, and a Moser 12-bolt rear.
In addition Paul works for the entire team on stat work! For much more, please see our website at:
