    @pittsburghracer gone.

    I have been praying that God's Holy Spirit be his family's Comforter in their time of loss! In Jesus's Holy Name I am asking this.

    @pittsburghracer gone.

    I am very sorry to Hear this! John was my favorite on the Mopar forums. We talked about personal issues as well as Mopar stuff. He was a Blessing to me and an encouragement to me talking to me when I was going thru health issues! HE WILL BE MISSED.

    Friday racing at Norwalk

    I carry most of those places as our family all have Concealed Carry licenses, even all the adult women. But First offense at LVMS of any weapon is a lifetime ban from the track. The world has changed a lot in this new generation.

    Friday racing at Norwalk

    Friday Night at our Track they check everyone for weapons. Including under the Hood/Passenger Compartment/ Trunk of race cars and full body search with a wand. Almost like going to War.

    Jon and I both get to Semifinals at Divisional Sunday.

    I often rent a stocker for the last race of the year in Vegas for someone chasing points. The cost is $750 plus fuel for the stocker that got to the final four at Winternationals 2024 (Me Driving) this current year . That includes a private AC Trailer at the track. Two years ago, Gregg Luneauk...

    Jon a I both got to Semifinal in Stock at Bakerfield Divisional with a possible chance to meet in a Heads Up 340 Demon E/SA final! Jon raced our friends the Calvert Family (you may run some of their suspension parts) FS/A New Cobra Jet Mustang. It is a 160 MPH Stocker to our 120 MPH Demon. It...

    Sunday's Final Bracket Points Race LVMS

    I do not know what they will do. It is up to the track manager, I guess. We are currently at Bakersfield running the double Divisional races in Stock and Superstock. The doctor cleared me to race again! Head to Head would suit us fine. Jon has never lost to them this year.

    Rear end advice for racing with a 4 speed

    I would suggest the Dana 60 for sure. When I ran a 440 4 Sp 1970 Barracuda Gran Coupe back when they were new, I broke several 8 3/4s the first year until I sprung for a Dana. I do not think you will notice the weight difference very much.

    NHRA got their wish in factory X class

    This is an ABSOLUTE FARCE!! I will never watch it again. Reminds of when I raced Dodge Pro Stocks and spent a ton of time and money neither of which I could not afford. NHRA juggled the rules to the point that a Mopar Hemi did not have a prayer. WC Fields (Before all you guy were around)...

    Local 80 year old racer

    Desire and Determination are Vital in Life. Especially as life and age catch up to you and they will. I spent a year plus in a Wheelchair after a severe Boat Racing accident. I am grateful every day to God that I am now standing on my two feet! God has been so very Good to Me!!

    I need help !

    There are offset retainers/keeps that give you an additional 050 clearance that I have used years ago. I would not be comfortable with 020 clearance the way my boys drive!

    Guys this is why you work on your car trailer

    About 15 years ago or maybe more the low ball / low cost Trailer Builders started putting on Junky Chinese Components including Axles. They have been a real nightmare for the trailer buyers in a couple years or less depending upon how much you use them. However, this junk cost less than 1/2 of...

    Guys this is why you work on your car trailer

    If needed I can get you an axle at my cost which is less than 1/2 of retail. I get to So Cal most every week consulting and I would enjoy see you! It is a 3500 Lb. non brake axle which is inexpensive. If you supply me the measurements, I have a lot of take off 3500 axles that I have switched...

    What should cold lash setting be?

    I know Stock Eliminator guys who run solids even if they are on hydraulic profile camshafts, they set them at .004 which scares me. I was just talking to a well know engine builder out of Arizona this week and I asked: Are you not scared of burning an exhaust valve for it being on the seat a...

    Family Legacy Continues!

    Well Sunday Afternoon in the Team Competition, Logan went more rounds than anyone on his team in his age group class. He ended his day losing to the boy he beat in the Finals yesterday. We dialed him too hard. I can not figure out yet how to predict these little Dragsters. We are good with...

    What should cold lash setting be?

    Every Solid Roller that I have ever owned has wide acceleration ramp lobes. I have run lash from .016 to .030 with no ill effects ever last 60 years. I sometimes move the lash around as an experiment to see of the car wants a larger or small camshaft by how it performs on the time slip and...
