  • After many sleepless nights, we arrived at Great Bend, KS at 1pm for day one of RACE WEEK!
    Aydan has been working day and night (ONLY STOPPING FOR HIS HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION) with Richie Crampton to get the Sh**box of Doom 57 Chevy wagon ready for Rocky Mountain Race Week and they made it with hours to spare. Tech finished at 3pm!
    First Tom made a run in the car to make sure that it was handling correctly and that everything was functioning as it should (the last time this car raced was Hot Rod Drag Week in 2018, and it had extensive repairs after a road accident).
    Then it was Aydan's turn to make his first ever quarter-mile runs on a drag strip!
    There is a whole bunch of awesome people racing here including Cleetus McFarland and Derek from Vice Grip Garage, not to mention the PFISpeed guys!

    The pressure on Ayden must be enormous, he has big shoes to fill. Not easy to follow the steps of a successful dad. At the same time he has the best teacher, a calm and loving one. Best of luck for your first drag week Ayden.

    I’ve been around drag cars my entire life. I’m not a driver though. My brother has put me in the seat of his 9 second, wheel standing Super Stocker a couple times. WOW! I can identify with what this guy is experiencing. Everything in your mind is moving, racing much faster than the car. Your trying to remember your procedures and do all the things but then the senses kick in, this thing vibrates like crazy and the engine is WAY LOUDER then you’ve experienced before. Everything happens mush faster then you think it will. You want to do everything right but you don’t want to break anything crash anything. Everything about a pass in a fast car in sensory overload. Your mind has no comparable experience to reference to. The G force of the instant excelleration is INTENSE!!. Within a few passes his mind will settle, he’ll be comfortable and anticipate what’s next vs being surprised it time to shift or that the car begins to steer different under excelleration. It’s fun for me to see other new drivers as they manage this kind of experience.

    Well he helped build it so he absolutely will respect it.
    Back in high school, I helped a really good friend of mine build up a 77 Camaro with a bunch of horsepower. We took it to the strip a few times after we finished it and we both turned 18. First time doing a real launch on the VHT was absolutely amazing and overwhelming.
    When he was going off to college he sold it to help pay tuition. I know he hated to do it but needed to. The worst part is that about 1 month later he got a letter in the mail from the impound yard that his old car was there, the new owner had never re-registered it. So we went to go take a look. The 5 point harnesses looked like they had never been put on, there were 2 shoulder width holes in the windshield and the engine was sitting between the seats. The report we got when we did a records check was 2 teenagers a 17yo driver and a 16yo passenger were messing around on the freeway and put it into a concrete barrier. Neither was wearing the 5 point harnesses and were ejected through the windshield. I firmly believe that if they had put the blood and sweat into that car they would have respected it the same way we did.
