The Deuce and the dragstrip

[yetti96]

Awesome turnout. Glad to see the deuce was so consistent. Great pictures and videos, thanks!!!

When I was driving a deuce in Germany I used to drag race with the street cars in Frankfurt.

Those suckers are surprisingly fast out of the hole.

I would start off in LOW range, third gear and launch at about 1800 RPM.

My buddy would yank it up in HIGH while I shifted back to 4th gear (HR) and then speed shifted up to 5th (HR).

My drag racing career ended when I caught the attention of a full bird Col. who was riding the streetcar to work.

Bumper numbers tell all.

My Motor Sgt. was not amused.

Heck yeah! That was AWESOME! I always wondered how the deuce would do at the drag strip.

I wait all year and now it's over. LOL I can't wait to go back with the 5 ton LDS motor in. I have such a good baseline for the LDT now. When people ask "what do you do with that?" I have to laugh. Not only can they be a daily driver as Josh demonstrates, but firewood, camping, parades, grocery getter, oh yea, and the race track.

Ive wanted to do that with my deuce for a long time. I wonder how a deuce on 900s would compare to yours on 1100's

You mean a burnout like this?

Or a thread on it?

Why was only one axle spinning? I thought it would cause both tear to turn and burn?

 

[OPCOM]

He has the rear shaft out.
Weren't some things eventually broken doing that?

verry cool .. nice pics and vid

Jeez Stretch that was you. 5 years ago. Gimp never let me forget it. I drank a lot of vodka then. Yer not mad are ya? Clean up on isle 5.

 

[Stretch44875]

I thought it was funny.. I don't get upset by anything that happens on the internet...

Opcom, I had a broken snap ring in the transmission, but it didn't happen while goofing off. It could have been from the burnou, but I doubt it.

 

[Kaiserjeeps]

Thanks for being so cool about it. My regrets are fewer these days, but I still gotta face it once in awhile. I am glad to cover this.
So, Meanwhile back at the ranch... Lets get back to military truck stuff.

Cheers!

Well I was only able to get so many pictures of the duece. I did get some other rigs. Plus a ton more video's. They load slow. I start one and go to work for a while. I'll put up some more good sounding video's. But here are some more stills.

The red Chev launched in 4x4. He folded his steering tie rods from the torque. It took a while to get him off the track. All you ford and dodge guys hold it down.

Oop's on the duplicates.

 

[Kaiserjeeps]

This little Cj was something else. It looks like a ride full of adrenalin. Later in the day he blew his engine all over the track. Lots of oil and nearly an hour to clean up. Things happen fast with a short wheel base like that. No crashes fortunately.

I am curious about my LDS motor. I just moved it yesterday and am jazzed about putting it in. My question is on the injection pump. Can you turn it up just like the LDT? Or is there anything to be aware of? Does it make more heat than the LDT to start with?

 

[Beerslayer]

That looks like great fun! Let me know when you are going next year and I will race with you.
