Eagle Field's Fresno Dragways Reunion Special Guest Ray Silva started racing in 1964 when he traveled to Turlock CA (which he now calls home) from San Jose to purchase his 1st Dragster. The dragster was then fitted with a Blown 348 he purchased from Sid Waterman. After the 348 expired Ray raced a Modified Crosley with a V8 until 1965 when he built another Dragster to race in the Jr Fuel Category. Ray raced the Jr Fuel until his country called him for duty. After serving our country Ray built a D/Dragster (very simular to todays car) that with 11 straight wins at Fremont won him his Track Jacket. Ray continued to race and chase points until 1969 when he and partner Frank Alves decided two engines were better than one and built a Twin Engine Dragster. The two raced the Twin until 1971 when Ray decided to focus on family.
Today with his family grown Ray has built another Dragster to race for the Fun Of It! Ray purchased his current car from late friend Roy Victor, a 1971 Jim Davis former Top Fuel car that he has updated to meet NHRA requirements. The car is very similar to his original D/Dragster with the engine built much like him and one time brother-in-law Arnold Schaves of Dos Palmas Machine Fame had done. The differences are this 292 Chevy 6 is equipped with Mechanical Fuel Injection and coupled to a Powerglide. Rays original D/Dragster ran 9.80's @ 141, his current car has yet to have performances recorded However I hope Ray will return for our LIONS Drag Race on Sunday and "put it through the eyes" for a Time Slip! Hope you join us! Rocky Phillips
