    One busy Sunday in the garage

    Sheesh! My one n only is 27 now. We’ve always said she was so good that we were afraid to have another….. actually during my wife’s pregnancy they did a test (amnio maybe) and the results came back and there was talks of birth defects, possible downs. Nothing came of it and we had a healthy...

    Going Rounds in Stock at Winternationals

    They have absolutely NO other play ground out here in the west and pretty much all cower to the mighty N! On a couple occasions I’ve seen people try to get a S/SS combo race going and very few show up. Back in my homeland the Midwest Class Racers have their own summer schedule and great car...

    I really like it….. and I mounted the bracket I made away from the dash for an easy reach strapped in. For my first harbor freight aluminum solder project it turned out quite well. It had a Painless set up previously which was “ok” but I like the smaller size of this set up, that and it easier...

    Going Rounds in Stock at Winternationals

    Kyle Rizzoli…… heard he had some brake issues on one of his rides this weekend. Personally if my dad was racing with me at a national event….. their would be a race. An opportunity for a very fond memory was lost.

    Probably a good thing I haven’t been racing as the house got a new A/C system. Kind of important in these parts. Pushed the car back to make some room and was greeted with a small puddle of something…. Thought it was brake fluid but alas, it’s shock oil. So I guess the Afcos will get sent in...

    From western AZ to NC and back shipped them Feb 29, got them back March 13. …..and they already served me well as apparently when I removed the tires at work on our POS tire machine I dinged a tube. was nice to pull the ring and swap a new tube in. I’ll patch the other and it’ll be my spare.

    This sucks…… my “go to” chassis guy is between shops so I’m on hold for K repair. All my west coast gang are in Vegas for muscle cars at the strip and here I sit dead in the water. In the mean time I sent my Convos to MacFab and let them do their magic. I hope the ole side chick appreciates...

    More Summit discount codes.

    Well it’s not killing me…. just thought what the hey, I’ll try and reappropriate some saved $$$ to the beer fund. Tried to jump through the hoops and no bueno. Went to JEGS and got $100 off. I’m good with that.

    I think Jeff Danielson sends me pictures like monthly of those. “Bead lock money” has been a long running joke

    I do have a tube K….. and it’s very light, and on the delicate side. Comp Chassis in Phoenix builds them in house, and Mike made it perfectly clear….. “race car stuff!” It’s actually worked flawlessly until my stupidity interferes with its performance. I destroyed one on the bumper dragging...

    Unloaded the ride from the trailer. I’m not gonna lie, I rather enjoyed the free space in the garage. Oil changed, lash adjusted, new set of valve cover gaskets. I finally swapped out the 8 mile long front wheel studs that have been on the car forever. Not sure why they were on there but the...

    Drag strips closing every Day!

    Well our dream of moving back north will most likely be the end of my racing. Two tracks have closed. I would have had an 1/8th mile venue 25 min from our property and another nice 1/4 track 2.5hrs away. As of now the closest tow will be 320 miles or 340 miles one way!

    Help spec'ing out a new small block

    We built our R3/W8 as the curtain was closing on most of this stuff. Actually ordered the block at work and was $2k…. That ship has sailed. Now you‘re faced with hunting one down and hoping you know what you’re looking at or is honestly presented as what it is. Then if you hurt it you’re...

    Come on Sean….. “updating frequency“?? I can barely record a run let alone split hairs on the variables. Actually I tried a bit to find that info with little success. I did however dig up some older passes and they also have that “dip” at 5400, but not very notable until I stretch the time out...

    The 5.7 pass…. on graph. my biggest enemy is probably myself as I tend to run on the rich side. That certainly showed as we dropped jet… a lot of jet and performed much better. Even on these graphs there is still an “occurrence“ around 5400 with the converter coming off the brake that I...

    Pretty close, but I usually pull the plug from late May until September. Vegas takes a summer break, but tracks in CA can still be running events.

    Yes…. It can be challenging at times for sure. To be honest I wasn’t expecting much. I’m finding I have a tendency to overjet and I need to pay attention to data more than I do. Easy to get lazy and this mill is certainly more finicky than some I’ve had. My next biggest task is to figure out...

    Well it was a fight…. made two miserable 6.11 / 6.09 passes on Friday. We have tune issues, trans issues, chassis issues. This is fun right?? Screwed up getting data so that was no help. I ended up loading the car in the trailer, turned the heat on and pulled the carb off and tore it down...

    **600hp sbm block limit? Or is it bs!!**

    Don’t worry…. I was able to hold a sermon reading scripture from the direct connection engines book to MadDart and Turbodart68 on this stock block nonsense at Irwindale today. Think I got em straightened out nice to meet you guys and look forward to your results!
