I know that this thread is two years old but this might make you all feel better. A good friend of mine has a property a little ways out of town where his house is at one end and 600 feet away on the other end is his sanitary new Morton building. We had been doing a few car repair and hot rod...

Here is how the front of the car ended up. **** guard rail was a major contributing factor.

I was told that the failure of the ring and pinion gears is the result; not the cause. Reportedly the bolts holding the carrier together are about a third the size of the ones in a Dana 60. They stretch and then the spider gears start to climb over each other....then BANG! This from a...

Nice! Thanks for posting.

Pro-Team Corvettes - Scott Street is S.R 108. It comes south into town crossing Route 6. Pro team is down there less than a mile on the left.

You won't see anything now but in 70-71 we used to cruise the heck out of Napoleon in our RR's (Me and member Hooshpuppy). Had an "acceleration contest" or two LOL. There is a huge Corvette sales there. Ask anybody. It's worth seeing. Owner Terry Michaelis. Watch Barrett-Jackson and you will...

NICE picture Nevin!

Your going west about 10 miles from where I went to high school. If you were going south you could have stopped at HDK and checked out some cars.

I spent many early times at Milan. Are you going east or south in Ohio and if south, what mile marker?

Still sounds like bracket racing to me.

Now here....I can agree with you 100%.

I'm serious and yes, I'm telling you that.

This car had a Moroso (Jones/Motorola) cable drive tachometer, Ok on a race car with loud exhaust but jerky and noisy on the street. This was in the 70's just before the new crop of giant Autometer electronic Monster tachs became prevalent.

I will be watching for updates with great interest. This is what I was looking at but was concerned about several sites I saw commenting on fuel mileage. http://www.ramtrucks.org/forum/26-ram-2500-3500-6-4l-forum/40-2014-ram-2500-6-4-hemi-mpg.html

Response from Mr. Charney: "I don't have anything for sale. I'll ask around."

Just saw this. I'll ask.

I don't know what the sprint car blocks are called (R3, R5, R8 etc) but my friend Greg Charney told me he just found a couple more including a tall deck version that he is going to build up over the winter that will be able to achieve 440 cu in.

I apologize for straying far from the O.P.'s original question.

You don't have to school me on nitrous. We installed many systems and used to keep a 54 lb. bottle in our motorcycle dealership at all times. I'm not a rookie and I know what it can do. I used to keep a "Sneaky Pete" in my toolbox but I never used the stuff.

Nitro and blowers are great for the T/F & F/C classes but all of those cars run it. A car built for E85/ethanol/methonol with accompanying high compression is a very mechanically efficient machine and that is a good thing. As far as turbos and superchargers go....fine, but let them race each...

I'll concede that a well engineered turbo set-up shows ingenuity but that stuff in a bottle has no place in my garage. I feel dirty just talking about it!

JMHO but I could never feel right turning better times if I were relying on that crutch. Any P.O.S. can make a lot more power with N2O if it gets enough fuel and holds together. Power adders of any sort just make me feel like a cheating/slut/horsepower *****. Actually, if you like power...

A BFG engineer told me to drive around the water, do one dry hop and go straight to the line. It works. Of course everybody wants to play big time drag racer and roast the hides. They can probably tell you the difference between different types of burnouts but can they tell you how it worked...

Hey.....What's goin on here? It's now been over a year!

That would be the 1991 USAC Midget National Champion: 1986: Rich Vogler; Chicago, IL; Byrd #2 1987: Kevin Olson; Machesney Park, IL; Wilke #11 1988: Rich Vogler; Chicago, IL ; Byrd #1 1989: Russ Gamester; Peru, IN ; Gamester #46 1990: Jeff Gordon; Vallejo, CA ; Helmling #4 1991: Mike...

2 things: 1. You didn't swap your spindles side-to-side to make it a front steer did you? 2. The lower control arms and the tie rods MUST be the same length and be at exactly the same angle (reside in the same plane).

Sorry, I like the (Chevy?) cowl. The car looks purposeful and not gimicky.
