| The Quickest Kids in the Valley... |

As we race heads-up, we're far more concerned with who crosses the line first, but we still like to keep track of who is top-dog... Hey...there's a new kid in town. Mike Couch finally fulfilled his promise and took the previous record of 12.7 seconds away from Jim Turnbull. On Saturday 19th September 2009, Mike posted a 12.63 @ 104mph during the qualifiers of the Flathead Meltdown at the Hot Rod Drags. This was in full street trim, on crossply tyres and pump gas. Jim has avowed revenge. Bring it on! The Quickest Four-Banger is owned by Clark Devey and his '31 roadster with a 15.7 second quarter @ 84mph. Remember guys, this is with a flathead. No OHV conversions are allowed in the Meltdown! Way to go, Clark.
...and we also like to make the world aware of who runs the slowest. Neil Fretwell. About 31 seconds @ 40-something mph. Under full power.You can see more of how this car evolved here...
