I have 4.56 and 29.0 slicks in my bracket car and cross the 8th mile stripe at 6700 to 6800 rpm. I tried 1/4 with those gears and 32.0 tire and was running out of motor before the stripe. Rev limiter was set at 7500.

If you go with 4.56 and a 29.0 slick you'll be crossing the line at 7300-7600 rpm. How high you intend to Rev your motor should help you to answer your question

Way cheaper than NASCRAP, much closer to the carnage, you can pay extra to stand near the start line and stupidly risk injury or death.

Yeah but lots of people want to see them blow up or wreck so they make lots of money. It's sad.

According to officials at Xtreme Raceway Park in Ferris Texas, No Prep Kings has decided to pull it's racing event contracted to be at their track. NPK contacted Xtreme and asked to reschedule the event they had contracted for the weekend after July 4th due to "low advance ticket sales". They...

I'm 63 and have been racing for 12 years. Used to race on the streets a lot when I was a teenager. My older brother and I raced his Javelin at a track just outside the Army post I was stationed at for about a year or so, then college, job, responsibility. I retired 12 years ago and went with...

It may be time to invest in one of those cool suit systems for sitting in the lanes. Racing is fun and a lifestyle but it's not worth risking your health, especially if there's a way to help to deal with it.

Don't know have never tried it. I just assumed that from a stop the transmission would shift into 1st.

With the manual valve body you can start your burnout in 2nd gear which will keep you away from the sprag and give you a higher rpm at the tires without over revving the motor.

Good job Summit Racing Equipment! My harness expires at the end of the month so I had to buy a new one. The new one came in yesterday and expires December 2026, so I'm getting an extra 6 months out of it!

Lol

I don't see how you can stand those temps! I was out at the track for Sunday TNT yesterday trying to lean things out for summer heat. 95-98 degree temps and humidity in the 65% range. I was dying!

Reducing weight is the least expensive thing to do. Then I would go to a 4.10 or 4.33 gear and an 8" converter, 5500rpm. Assuming it is race only.

Nice!

Nice!

What are you using for rear suspension?

I spend a lot of time at that track. I hope to meet you there sometime!

What is your closest track? Edinburgh? Pine Valley?

I have run the MSD 6 Hemi ignition box for timing since 2014 without any issues.

I feel your pain. I'm going to a track tomorrow that is known for poor track prep just because the race in Ardmore Ok. the following week is more than likely going to get rained out and I need my racing fix. I'm not going to tow 200 miles and spring for 3 nights in a motel just to watch it...

I think I'm going to try a Derale plate type cooler with the fan on it and mount it under the trunk. If that doesn't do the trick I'll take a look at the Jones product. I ran my number last weekend when we were hot lapping, I just didn't like to see those trans temps around 220-230 after the...

What the hell is wrong with people?

Makes sense.

Wow! :popcorn:

I'm thinking about changing to under the trunk area with the fan on the outside. I'd love to hear from people who have it back there.

Last Saturday it was 95 and humid. the Last 3 rounds they damned near hot lapped us. I can cool my motor down, but after the final round I noticed the transmission (727) was 220-230 degrees. I have the standard aluminum trans cooler in front of the radiator. Do any of you use one of the...

I feel your pain. If you've ever tried to get a motor plate to seal on the front cover of a Gen 3 hemi it's not fun. You are sealing a smooth plate to a motor front cover that is designed for the no permatex gasket and about a dozen bolts. The water pump is actually the easy part. The plate...

Me and the other guy sat in the heat at the top of the lanes waiting to go down for our final because some guy in a 36' trailer had driven his trailer into the lanes and had them blocked as he tried numerous times to get turned around. After about 15 minutes of this, someone from the track told...

Another opportunity for a win yesterday makes it 3 races in a row with either the win or a split. Yesterday was tough in the Texas heat with 95 degree temps and high humidity and having to run in the class with the delay boxes and fast cars. 3500 DA all day. We agreed to split it, then wound...

After 3 weekends in a row of rainouts, we were finally able to race at Xtreme Raceway Park in Trumbul Texas (South of Dallas) We didn't get the race completely in though as the rain stopped us with 4 cars left in no box and 14 in box. I made it to the final 4 due to the other guy turning it red...
