Our track pulls both cars out of the lanes together to head to the water box. And that’s at a bracket race.

My buddy had a milk crate on a rope. He would use the milk crate to get in and pull the milk crate up with the rope.

As I said before a good head porter can improve any cnc’d head. When all the hand head porters are gone what are you going to copy then. Lol.

There’s cheap then there’s on a budget and I get so tired of hearing how expensive Mopars are. To many 11 second or slower spend money stupidity on things their engines don’t need. It’s only because guys are lazy or maybe afraid of Facebook. I pass up deal’s daily or pass them on to others. I...

March 13th last update I’ve seen.

So after 5 pages I guess we can agree that it’s ok to bend the rules when it benefits us. Like I said earlier I would have been stuck running high 9’s for probably the rest of my life with stock parts that I had to throw on the scrap pile after three years. But my house and shop is full of...

Like I said I tried fighting this battle back in the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s when maybe we had a chance but everyone wanted their foreign cars and cheap Products. So after that I got off my soapbox and like you just bought what I wanted when I wanted. Nobody pays for my life but me.

I just scrape my underwear with my new Harbor Freight knife.

Just got a call from Ohio from a guy that wants my 9 inch converter that transmission specialty’s freshened for me. I would love to get a good spare that I could have here and use in both my big block duster and black duster.

I never tried a dominator on alcohol. I had an 1150 built for my blue duster just in case I want to bracket race it. I put the twin to it for sale on here last week (gas).

Wholly Mackerel did that go up in price since I bought mine many years ago. Not sure what up with this one that popped up on eBay. Probably Chinese.

I just got the white stone he recommended for stainless and LS valves. I can’t wait to try it.
