Freemont is still there, just renamed Famosa. NHRA owns it now and holds the Summit series there. Also the March meet still lives.

Edit
My bad not the track I raced at.

Just watched (online) a new Porsche Turbo with a few engine changes go 8.77 seconds and 155 mph in the quarter. Looked stock. The wheelie cost time but was still 9.27. Good photos/video at: Watch Porsche 911 Turbo S Pop Two-Foot Wheelie on Video - Motor Trend

No sir. Fremont (later named Baylands) was in Fremont California. The "Grove" , "Smokersfield" (Bakersfield ) was never called Fremont....My friend Jim Black is in charge of track prep at Formosa.

Many car movies were filmed at Fremont.

The Summit Series is held at all NHRA tracks in their division. The E.T finals are held at different tracks in each division, rotated yearly.

I have raced The E.T. finals 3 times. Once in Ascroft Canada (now de-funk)in my Purple Duster, Woodburn Oregon, in my Daytona and Pacific raceways in my Valiant..

Looks like the whole west coast was division 6 once. I see no mention of Utah or Arizona teams, which are division 7 now.

Northwest is division 6 now, south is division 7. Which includes Hawaii

My number is 6348. Six is for division 6

Great clipping

Odessa is a big word....LOL

If the administrators want to change this last part, that is fine. But what does it matter, it's just people (friends) communicating, as long as it doesn't get nasty.

My friends and I go on jack rabbit trails all the time when we communicate/talk. Sometimes while talking, I say 'Changing subjects" just so they know we are going to another different topic.

So changing topics,Here:

The coach leaves no oil spots, engine or trans. Still amazes me.

Someone told me once (maybe Bob) it's that yellow paint that seals them Cats up. Well I agree. I painted every part hard after complete cleaning of each one, then painted it all again once together. I bet I used 8 rattle cans.

Cheers

Thank you. Happy to gather together around the electronic camp fire. We all learn together. I was one of the few in the rv biz that asked ALL the questions.

I switched to dirt bikes in 1968. Versus green hot dogs and hurry up and wait to race at Lions, Irwindale and then OCIR when it opened.

its called communication.. ..Maybe its ADHD or LMNOP or ABC? Never really have one subject convos in person.. usually leads to some other topic going at the same time.. lol.. Guess we need more self control..

Should have painted it red.. really throw them off when you pop the trunk.

You are right the whole west coast was division 6. NHRA let me keep my lucky numbers for the years I raced the Centerline and the Summit series. 77112 I had used them before joining NHRA That was my Chevelle in the photo

Got lost on the Odessa part,part of the thinking is maybe other posters like the NHRA but have no clue when they search that
y'all are talking about it when they see a title about a cat rebuild.
