Ames OK boys drive fast pickups



Brent is based in Ames, just outside of Enid. Do a Google search of Ames OK to find the middle of nowhere. It makes the area where Sidney lives look a major city.

There is a world class car collection of drag racing cars in Ames.

I have actually been to Ames. My in-laws grew up in that area on family farms. They went into Ames to go to school.

I would love to see the boost level and dyno sheet for that engine. There is just nothing as impressive as a built turbo-diesel for ridiculous amounts of power. Aerodynamics is for wussies - give it enough motor and any amount of drag can be overpowered!

POUR THE OIL TO IT BOYS!!! YEEE HAWW!!!!

Country boys seem to know machinery...Back in the day the fastest street car in these parts belonged to Bob Heubler of Cascadia. A '41 Ford running a Caddy gearbox, 9" rear end, and up front an engine few built back then...Packard! 400 cubes, solid lifters, home made manifold running dual 4 bbls..absolutely scary to ride in.
