Yes I know what you mean. I've come down from Maine to run in the Independence Showdown race they have at MGR and running 1/8 mile there seems to take forever to get to the turn off at the end of the track! Same at New England Dragway in New Hampshire when they run 1/8 mile events.

Also, IHRA leadership just posted that they had reached out to the NHRA to work out a cooperative agreement to host the NHRA national event at Maple Grove this September. Not surprisingly NHRA leadership wouldn't even talk with them about it. NHRA instead moved the event to US 131 Motorsports Park.

the Koretsky family did buy it. Now the IHRA owns it and according to their official statement the Koretsky family will still be operating the track.

like mine, but this is a full chassis car. With a small block.

No, didn't see that on the schedule. This was the schedule for their professional events.

The IHRA published their 2026 schedule today, and it has both Atlanta and Memphis on it. Great news for those two tracks if it's true.

Looks similar to the 72 Dart I use to run.

Sent you PM.

422 stroker. 340 X block. 4.10 bore, 4 inch stroke. CNC ported W5 heads. Holley Pro Dominator tunnel ram with Dominic Thumper massaged Venom VX 850 carbs. MSD 7AL crank trigger ignition, COMP Cams solid roller cam & lifter. Harland Sharp 1.5 rockers. Smith Brothers push rods. 13 to 1...

up here in Maine my season ended 3 weeks ago. Could have run a couple of more weekends at New England Dragway but decided after 7 wins this season there was nothing else to accomplish and I wanted to get an early start on getting things freshened up for next season. Engine will be out tomorrow...

The primary transmission has a 1.80 gearset and I'm pretty certain this spare trans does as well. The car weighs 2480 with me in it.

John, Thank you very much for sharing this information with me. My Arrow is a full Alston chassis car, running a 422 stroker small block based on a 340 X block and CNC ported MP W5 heads. I don't have any actual HP or torque numbers as the previous owner never had it on a dyno and I haven't...

gentlemen, I asked this question to gain knowledge on the equipment that I have in my possession. I did not ask the question for some to chime in with condescension concerning the equipment in the car. I did not build this car. It is as I bought it. I'm 69 years old and a one man show. I...

Car weighs 2480 with me in it. As for power, I have no idea as the previous owner never had the engine or chassis on a dyno, and I haven't either. Using math formulas to calculate power it comes out to around 740 HP. How accurate that is I have no idea.

This is how the car was built and how it was when I bought it. I don't have the time or funds it would take to reconfigure the chassis to accept a 727 or 904. You don't like it and that is fine, it's your choice to make. But it's helpful to get some facts before you make statements questioning...
