Paxton Supercharger!
Holy cow Bill talk about a sleeper car, and that will pass tech at a track?? Not critisizing just curious.
The tracks I run at are a lot more interested in your entry fee than any NHRA-mandated safety equipment rules. But the push-on hose is legal.
Looks like garden hose, but the guy who sold it to me (GRT race cars; a world-class chassis fabrication shop for dirt track race cars in Greenbriar, Arkansas) said that he had witnessed an incident wherein a nearly full fuel cell had been knocked out of a race car, and was being dragged around behind the car, and the hose tore in two before the push-on connection was pulled apart, with NO clamps... He said that a dirt track race was potentially the most physically damaging environment for a fuel system, and lots of folks choose push-on hose for that. So, I figured it would work okay for my street/strip car, and it has held up, nicely; no leaks... no clamps; just push it on. NHRA has a list of approved push-on hose brands.
The car runs mid-11s @ about 118 mph... and, yes, It's kind of a sleeper... dog dish hubcaps, flat hood, and all.
Thanks for the kind words.
Here are a couple more pics...
