We must be talking about the inside of the intake ports not the outside of the intake manifold that were Glass Beaded? In Stock also they are very fussy about appearance and texture of the ports. I could elaborate some more BUT I better not say anymore!

The scoops do not help at all! I have run it ,both ways, if anything they slow it down a few trou. But we like how they look. If you run 11.00 you will be fine and win plenty of Heads Up. Let me know if I can be of any help.

My family is German Settlers that settled in the Hills of Kentucky (Edlin Hill) nearly 200 years ago. I spent a fair amount of my youth there and owned a farm there for many years. My cousins still live on the same farm yet - that our ancestors settled on back them. We live now in Boulder...

Several folks have asked for Pics of our Demon Stockers. Google: John Irving Drag Racer And my Son: Jon Irving Drag Racer

About 15 to 17 years ago we ran a Low Perf 360 (Small Cam/Low Compression) in our Aspen Wagon. It ran 11.30 when most cars in class struggled to crack 12 Seconds. NHRA factored us up to 285 HP while an Aspen or Volare Coupe was at 274 HP for exactly the same car without a long roof which was...

The were pitted close to the staging lanes and waited until we were in the water box and then coasted around everyone in line and coasted all the way up to the water box. That was what was reported to me by those waiting in the staging lanes.

E/SA is a class for cars that weigh 10.0 to 10.5 pounds per rated horsepower. Example: Our Demon 340 are currently rated at 314 HP, therefore they must weigh 3140 plus 170 added for driver weight means 3310 minimum weight over the scales.

Yes we did indeed and also one the prior round racing the Demon that my departed friend Rick Kolber race for many years, now his Nephew races (He is really good and superfast). We will now get a evaluation at year end for more HP and if our average is less than 10.85 we will get more weight...

...before that time. I have requested that they bury me face down in front of the Christmas tree at the track. Then all my many enemies can kiss my *ss as they go by. Their is a Porta Potty in the staging lanes at our track (We do not call it a John). One week everyone was laughing their...

We ran 10.8 and the competition ran 11.0. Adjusting for track Altitude that would be 10.6 @ Sea level track (We are 2000 Ft above Sea Level). It was 95 Degrees and the weather station was about 4500 adjusted altitude. This adds about another -.25 to our ET meaning we would have been 10.35 to...

They said get in line now or you are DQed!! I had Ice in my hands to put on the intake at the time They then said if you put the Ice on you are DQed and go back to the Pits. Most everyone else had Iced they cars for the class runs. It was about 95 Degrees at that moment. We worked our way up...

Well there were 10 cars (Most of any Class) in E/SA this last weekend and they were the fastest field I have ever seen in this Class. In the final we faced a early 70s Z28 LT-1 former built and owned by Jon's friend and Multiple World Champion Justin Lamb. It is now owned by K & N who is a...

We will be hard at it next week with two Divisional races over 5 Days. I cannot wait to get my one working eye fixed in May so I can be more competitive like the old days! I am down to the last 4 cars in Stock to make up the finish of the rained out Winternationals next week also!!

Well Jon had a Heads-Up with former world champion (and our Friend) Don Keen in SS/KA third round. We took him a bit too lightly as we have beaten him several times in a row (Never more than a tenth). Both cars ran dangerously close to One Second under which put you in danger of receiving more...

We are have a fantastic time, Talking and Praying with many of our Christian Brothers! Blessed be the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ!!

Jon beat the Number 1 Qualifier in a nail biter first round and steals his 2nd bye run by to advance to 3rd round in stock. He also won in Superstock and advances to 2nd round. I won in stock putting up an .02 light to advance to 2nd round. I turned on the red in Superstock against former...

PMR racing in Ontario is one of the very best around. They are our go to shop for anything chassis related. Phil has race and built A body cars since they were almost new! However, they are not cheap or free!

Setting up at 4 Wide Las Vegas Nationals Wednesday!

Correct = Phoenix

Well they call it for today! Next round stock will be a bit after 8:00. Jon will face our good friend Mike Cotton this round who is a great racer! The good news is he will be chasing by a couple tenths which is how we like it. First round many guys missed their dial ins. The weather station...

It is 3:30 and still waiting for Round Two and probable will be a few hours yet! Supposed to run another round after that and lighting is not very good here. I was sick as a dog this morning and had the worse light I could remember in competition. My friend Darcy missed his Dial and the race...

NHRA Division 7 on Facebook: Video of my Wagon and some of my div. 7 Buddys a Winternationals!

MSD 8.8 Wires They do not quit working but resistance just get higher. The class racing we do is often determined by a hundred or two sometime less. I replace the coil wire ever 20 runs or a couple of months as it gets 8 times the use. We run MSD 7 ignition with best HVC coil.

Another issue that I noticed was that the spark plug wires tended to go away in about 1/2 the time. I had to replace they every year. I do not know why but they did degrade much faster.

The 470 Engines always make more HP than we predicted. They are a affordable build and can use a OEM made in US old school Crankshaft.

We run 040 if we do not backcut the ground piece. Never found a darn thing on the Dyno or Track by going bigger. I have gone as far as 060 with no benefit! FLAME AWAY!

That is OK = I drove an Ice Cream Truck Throughout High School!

That is a very nice unit for the price! It would bring double that on West Coast if it runs Ok and does not have 300,000+ miles on the gas engine. Even if you had to rebuild either the engine or trans you would come out OK at that number.

Most of the bracket racing we do does not pay anything to talk about either. Example : last week at MATS both Jon and I got all the way to the finals in our respective class = Total return $300.00 Jon had the best losing package with a .007 light and a couple thousand margin of loss in StockSS...

I am not bitching at all = Just explaining to those that do not follow it. I race class because that is what our family has done for a long time and even myself for 60 years. It is where nearly all my friends in the world are participating in and I would never see them otherwise as they are...
