1985 Monte SS drag car build

I've been @ NED for that.something about 30 people standing@ the starting line during racing seems unsafe...

I don’t really understand what the point having all those people at the starting line is. I agree 100% someone will get hurt sooner or later.

You're going to need more than that for No Time or Grudge.

I know the cars are fast as hell. Maybe some day I’ll get there.

I think the premise is a good idea as a lot of tracks around the country are closing due to people having other interests/younger generations not into the hobby,what have you.so a company like no time will drum up attendance based on, hate to say it but a street outlaw type program.if it keeps attendance up,awesome.
I've never signed any kinda waiver saying they're free from fault if i get hit by a flywheel standing feet from the tree but i agree it's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.

Got the car back home from work today after installing the moroso trick springs and summit adjustable shocks. Car sits killer now it dropped it about 2” total. I also got the brakes on all 4 corners done hoses and all and installed the rear double adjustable upper and lower control arms. I was also able to save the rear spoiler that was all busted up with some fiberglass and bondo I’m not done with that yet but it looks much better. I was able to rip around the dirt roads at work, I work at a rally racing school with 6 miles of roads. The car goes good and has a crap load of power. It could give it more than 1/4 throttle without digging ditches 😂!! It felt so good to drive it around after the countless hours I have spent on it over the past year, there’s still a lot more to do but it will definitely be ready for next season 🤘

Sometimes I think it should be 🤣. We are a professional crew at my work, but man we do some sketchy s**t when we get a few slow days. I also plan on bringing the Monte to some drift events at the New Hampshire motor speedway next season too. We also do a drift school there as well. All my buddies have drift cars. There’s a few of the younger ones that are convinced you can’t drift a automatic, so I’ll have to show them how it’s done, even with drag suspension.

That’s the spoiler I saved. The back of it was missing a 7” chunk on the bottom. I grafted in a piece from another broken spoiler I had. The top was split about 2 feet across so I clamped it and fiberglassed the inside and filled the rest with some good ol bondo. Looks good for a few hours of work. It’s definitely got a much meaner stance now too.
