Here's the schedule for our little outlaw 1/8 mile. Toutle Motorsports Park formerly known as Riverdale Raceway. Hope to see a few members there. Feel free to share. We need all the exposure we can get!

I had the opportunity to weigh my 73' drag car the other day. Unfortunately I didn't have time to tweak anything. Only fiberglass on the car is the front bumper. Aluminum headed small block and Strange disc brakes up front with a full width S60 outback. No inner fenders and everything else...

Has anyone seen this? A guy out of Brazil is making them I think. I don't know anything about it but looks intriguing.

Hey Guys, the enclosed trailer I just bought has a Coleman Mach air conditioning unit on it. I was told the heat is pretty weak but the AC is great. The trailer is a 2008. I don't know if it came installed or if it was an add on later. I'm trying to figure out if the way it operates is typical...

Good evening guys. I don't really have any buddies into racing so I gotta show it off here lol. This has been quite a few years in the making. It's going in a stripped, caged 73 Duster with an 8" convertor worked over by A1, built 727, 4.88 gear and a 28" tire. I'll be running all 1/8 mile...

So I've been trying for a couple months to get head gaskets with no luck. Lots of ups and downs. I finally settled on a pair of SCE Spartans. They are .009" thicker than I wanted. Not a big deal other than they are not what I wanted lol. About a week after I get them I get a price alert email...

I just learned that people are counterfeiting sparkplugs. I ordered 4 sets off ebay. I guess that should have or could have been a first clue but never even thought about fake plugs. Mine are either real good copies or they are real. Anyone else ever dealt with this? I may send them back just...

Hi, I'm looking for a new pair of Cometic c5457-030 head gaskets. Bore diameter of 4.125 and .030 thick. Thanks guys

I have a set here that I purchased in April 2019. After a couple years of scrounging parts I am finally able to use them or so I thought... with all 10 head studs in the block the heads will not sit on the dowels as they should. So I pulled all but the corner studs, set the head on the block and...

Always check your parts when picking up from the machine shop. I knew better but got comfortable and didn't. Close to a year later as I'm getting ready to assemble I find a scratched up head... I suppose I'll go talk to the shop owner and see if it's been an issue and see what he can do.

This is Henry my new pup. He's a 7 week old Shiloh Shepherd/Border Collie. I haven't had a dog of my own in 3 years. A friend's sister had pups for sale. It was love at first sight. He was one of 3 left. I pulled up in Christine, my ol F100. I barely had the door shut and he trotted straight for...

I just picked up this 67' F100 Ranger. It's a sweetheart of a pick up. This truck belonged to my grand dad's longtime friend and loggin' buddy. They'd ride to catch the crew bus through the 70s and early 80s in it and head into Camp Baker. Bill has owned it since 72'. I've known it my whole...

Hey guys, Has anyone else had any problems getting the top of the rocker shaft to the valve tip measurement for a B3 correction kit? I get something a little different everytime. Is there a fool proof way to get a solid measurement? Had a long day and starting to wonder if my brain is just fried...

Hi guys, I have a set of Scat I beams that I am not sure about. They went through a blow up a couple years ago. Split a cylinder, broke a piston, bent some valves. I have new bolts but as I inch closer to having my assembly balanced I am second guessing using them. My machinist should be able to...

Hi guys, The comp 828 roller lifters may need clearancing in the valley but do not require tubing the block or bushing lifter bores unless the cut out for the roller exposes the oil holes in the bore? Do I have that right?

I just realized that my scroll up/down thumb sometimes lands on the thanks/agree/like/dislike buttons when using my smart phone. Leads to accidental button pushing. I just corrected one. Not sure how often I do it lol. Does this happen to anyone else?

These came out of a 13-1 iron headed small block. They have break in plus a couple 1/8 mile passes on them. Pistons and plugs looked great. They are Competition Products severe duty valves.

Hey guys, Gonna start a new build. .030 over 360 Scat 3.58 crank Scat rods Compression: It will run on e85. I'll let the cam dictate compression. Guys in the know chime in here please. I am thinkin over 13-1. Cam: Comp solid roller .627/.638 276/281@.050 on a 106 lsa 1.5 rockers Heads are Eddy...

I took saturday off, stayed home and tinkered with the car a bit still lots to do but shes a runner again.

I had Horsepower Innovations out of Caledonia, Michigan do an E85 conversion for me. Eric Niefert is a class act in my book. He reminds me of Cass Eslick from Dr. Diff. Good price imo and great customer service. Eric is very passionate and makes himself very available to answer questions. I...

Hey guys check this out. MOPAR 340 long block Never seen one like it lol. Must be a limited edition blue oval series lol.

Maybe I am the only one but I'm sure we all have a question about our cars that maybe gets under our skin a bit. I have a few. One leads to the other. Does it have a big block? No. Oh it has a small block? Is it a 340? No. I have nothing against bb's and 340's they are on the same team as my...

Hey guys here is an unfinished project I am working on. It is a leaf spring slider mount. It works as a mount for the spring sliders, a frame stiffener for the rear and it also moves the springs inboard the frame. I still need to build the end plates to weld the unit to the frame. I am also...

Hey I'm new here so bear with me. I've got that question I'm sure alot of newbies ask. I have a .030 360 and I'm curious if anyone can give me a horsepower estimate. Here's what I'm running: "915" J heads, port matched with all casting flash removed on both sides and in bowl area. Both sides...
