Dumb T-shirt idea for my uncle

My uncle is really into drag racing and funny cars. I have 0 idea if this is an original idea or not, but I can’t find anything. Ideally I’d like to get him a shirt that says “I heart drag shows,” in the “I heart New York sig . it’s been kind of an inside joke between us. He’d never wear it, but it would be hilarious. If anyone has any idea if this shirt exists, please drop a link.

I doubt I’m the first person to think of it. I know I can have it custom made pretty easily, just wondering if this is actually a thing or not.

Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Trust Issues, Maybe, but I got a line on a completely hidden NOS 250 hp system for a small block chevy

The tube chassis model T touring car I'm building is gonna be a BEAST, picture is for reference, but the setup is similar and will be running a single Chinese blow through Amazon turbo on my 406 stroker small block, a powerglide with reverse shift and a 9 inch with 4.11s. with a custom 4-link and coil overs.

92 Civic Eg Drag build Help/suggestions!

Hi all, long intro, please bear with me. few years into buying cars and fixing them up myself, i figured I wanted to build a drag car, when I saw a 1992 eg hatch shell for a steal price I couldn't help myself. Now I have an empty eg shell and no ideas. I have built a few suzuki cultus/esteems with some friends (1.3 na, turbo and a few more) but this is going to be my second time with the Honda's, i previously built a honda fit with a stock k20 type r, tuned to around 100 more than stock, removed the rear doors, some slicks in the front, it ran a 13.7 unprepped surface. Now I don't know what to do with this eg shell i bought, the drags in my country doesn't have a prepped surface. I have made up my mind to make it awd (wagovan) and want to run 10s hopefully 9s but totally clueless with the engine. K20s, 24s are the drag goats, but now I have my hands also on an l15b7. Wanted yalls intput, thinking around 650 hp? And don't want to spend a bomb (not that I do not have the money to spend) but looking for the most affordable and reliable bet. L15b7s look promising but don't know if I should take the bet or no, I have a k20 type r too with me right now if I want to push power out of it I need to put the k24 block, not sure which one, and turbo ofcourse. I have already been involved with a l15a7 build, engine from Thailand it's running in a street spec fit right now for a friend, 200 bhp turbocharged, the original engine is na sohc. I'm sorry if this looks like a mess but I'm just clueless with a eg shell in my garage right now!

Tldr - I have a civic eg shell, L15b7 stock, K20type r tuned (300), I want to build a 650+ hp car to run 10s unprepped with awd. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Serious question

I’m building my first drag car I have a view of what it will look like when I’m done and was wondering what classes I can enter Specs for the build

1984 Camaro stock chassis and subframe but have made it stronger welded connector beams

Leaf spring solid axle that’s moved forward (like a gasser)

Built 305 pushing 500-550 (edit I’m trying to push that)

Fuel cell

Fiberglass front clip and hood

Fiberglass doors

Lexsan windows

Automatic with manual valve body so I still have to shift it

rear tires 285 n 50-15

Front 5 inch wide tires

Roll cage with proper door bars

Supercharged

Runs on pump gas

Carbureted

Coil over for rear suspension

Tubed rear to fit tires

I want to run in a drag and drive and hot rod drag week and such if there are things I need to alter pls let me know help would be very appreciated I want to know what I can run for those events

Found an old pic of my pop racing his Bantam Altered

Pop build the altered in the garage in the late 60s and campaigned it through SoCal in the 70s. If I had to guess this was at Lion’s or Terminal Island.
