Every now and then even a blind hog finds an acorn! Texas Muscle Car Club Challenge is a drag racing series around the Dallas area but last night we raced at Little River Dragway outside of Temple Texas. I.managed to take the win in "Super Pro", a footbrake class for 6.99 and faster. I could...

It's amazing what perfect weather conditions will do for your ET! This is a car that has NEVER run faster than 6.34 in any weather. The -120 is the DA!

727 torqueflite reverse manual valve body. Builder cranked up the pressure a little for me for firm shifts. I have the shift light set to 6400rpm but my data log shows that the shift happens at 7200 rpm. It feels to me like it shifts right when I move the shifter, which I am banging on pretty...

I saw a debate in a bracket racers forum about rotating their slicks. I've been told that they wear more evenly and I rotate my tubeless slicks about every 15 to 20 passes. Some are saying that rotating slicks damages the sidewalls. What do you think?

We've all been at those tracks with poor lighting and spectators wandering around in the pits, oblivious to what they are stepping in front of. Since I don't run an alternator I've always gone without headlights, but I am trying some from a company called Headlight Experts. They claim that...

IHRA modified class. Snell sa2020. I'm thinking it is good until 2030. All I can find in IHRA rulebook is helmet must be snell sa2015 or newer.

I currently run 29x12x15 slicks (Hoosier) I hook pretty well, except for 1 or 2 tracks that don't have good prep. I am considering going from a 12" wide to a 14" slick, but would have to step up to 31" tire height. The tires are $100 more each. Do you think 2" more rubber on the ground would...

What would you recommend to get the rust off of the springs on these hood hinges. I do not want to remove the spring from the hinge. Also, where can I get the little clips that hold the hinge to the car?

Had an issue at the track today. 1st pass went wheels up like always but when I shifted to 2nd it acted like it was in neutral and hit the rev limiter. I shifted to 3rd, everything fine and got off the track. Went through all 3 gears on the way to the trailer and all was fine. At the trailer...

52nd annual Cowpasture Nationals at Ardmore Dragway. It was all going my way! Dead on dial and took the stripe 2nd round, but -.002 red Will try again tomorrow, same purse.

Thinking about switching to fiberglass hood this winter. What is the easiest way to secure it to the car? Dzus? Hood pins? Looking for no weld installation.

Waiting in line at Xtreme Raceway Park in Texas for Summit Team Finals 2023. I brought sandwiches and am having my lunch as I wait to get in. This ain't my first rodeo! Looks like maybe another 20 minutes....

Just replaced my 3rd trailer tire since May. Tires were Carlisles, 3 years old. In all cases the tread separated. My tire dealer says in all his years this is the worst summer he's ever seen for heat related blowouts. I've never had any trouble with Carlisles in the past.

Went 4 rounds tonight. Car is running a consistent number for the 1st time since I switched to Holley Sniper fuel injection. This is the least amount of rounds I have gone since I replaced the leaking head gasket and replaced the cracked worn out headers. I think this was the last race...

New head gaskets, heads surfaced, new headers and O2 sensor, new Sniper EFI unit, water restrictor removed from gooseneck. Made 3 passes in and around 100+ heat Friday night and it was fast and consistent. This car has been running in the high 6.40's in good weather, last night was all in the...

Gen 3 Hemi stroker in a bracket car. Head gasket issue. Removed headers and discovered that the one on the side with the blown gasket has 4 or 5 cracks in it, one big one down close to the collector. These headers were almost 10 years old so it was time to replace them. Heads are "Eagle"...

I just had to replace my 10 year old TTI headers on my 5.7 swap. The old ones had a small tube that ran the EGR port on the right side head into the closest header tube. I assumed this would still be there, but the new headers leave the EGR port exposed. Anybody else have to deal with this...

If you have removed rockers, you know that installing the exhaust side is not too bad, but you need about 3 pair of hands to get the @##$% intake side installed because of the angle the pushrods sit at. They will often not locate into the cup of the lifter and will instead sit on the bottom...

Setup: Gen3 Hemi racing motor NA 13.5:1 compression running on 110 racing fuel which has purple dye in it. Holly Sniper 4500 TBI fuel injection and Mopar Drag Pak intake. Ported Eagle heads. Brisk ER14S plugs. After 5 passes it slows down by 20 numbers and the plugs look like this: left bank...

Just saw on Pine Valley's (Lufkin Tx) Facebook page that gates open at 3pm to load in, but you can come in early IF you pay an extra $25 "Convenience fee". I've been racing for 10 years now and have Never seen this fee before. I have however come to this track several times this year and found...

...Once you get a decent tune programed in, TURN OFF LEARNING AND CLOSED LOOP !! Finally got my Holley Sniper to run like a carburetor. In the past the learn mode would try to richen the mixture when the air temperature would go down after dark, causing me to run slower than my number and lose...

Need both 1970 Duster hood hinges. Used or reproduction.

It won't do it until the motor is up to temperature, but at that point when I blip the throttle off idle hard enough it will stay at high rpm and will not return to idle. This is system that has run normally for over a year. I am being told to check for vacuum leak, but I have no smoke tester...

Will be going to a track this Saturday where the air temps are supposed to hit 97 degrees and the sun will be shining. How do you alter your burnout on a track like this? More heat in the tires to match the track? less heat?

Going to get a spare pair of slicks soon. But I used up all of my Palmolive on the last pair. I was told years ago to use Palmolive, but I was wondering what else everybody uses. Tubeless slicks of course.

I have my EFI programmed to run at 12.4 AFR at wide open throttle. This has worked fairly well this spring but now that the weather is warming up it is becoming apparent that this is too rich. This is a 13.5:1 compression motor on 110 octane race gas. I've been told by the dyno guys that these...

Fully tubbed 1970 Duster that I have raced for 10 years. Had it on a lift and decided to power wash all of the burnout rubber and exhaust crap out from under the back of the car. I have never done this before. Took at least 10 lbs. Of rubber off the car! I may have to lower my dial in!

So I have a broken wheel stud and need to pull the axle to replace it..Does the axle just pull out like an 8 3/4 or does it have a clip inside the center section? I confess I've never been inside one before. It is a Moser Engineering Dana 60, but I assume they would all have the same internal...
