Went last June, had 8 sessions, tons of fun. Two hours of total track time was great. Everybody else dropped out by the last session, so it was just me and my son. He followed the Cuda for a lap at 7:15, 11:30 and 16:00 minutes on the video. He is driving a Tesla 3 set up for the track...

Had fun running the infield course. Was out there with a C7 Z06 and my son's Tesla 3. DIdn't push it too hard. The car survived two hours of total track time. Lot's of room for improvement.

Had a lot of fun running the road course at Pocono Tuesday. Should not have been in the intermediate class due to a lack of pace and talent. Next time we'll stay in the novice class. Had one Hell Cat out there, that was cool. There is a video of two old grandpa's in way over their heads...

I bought a Quick Jack car lift (portable unit) this Summer and it has worked out really well. I leave it in the middle of the garage and park the car right over it. It only takes a couple of minutes to position it and the rubber blocks, hit the button and the car is up about 20 inches. It...

We went to the SCCA Track Night in America event at the Pocono Raceway. Had fun running on the banked turn and those long straights, car ran great and held my own against the newer cars. Video at I didn't edit it, so start it at the 8 minute mark.

May 3rd at Pocono Raceway. Open to the public, no membership necessary, free for spectators. For $150 you get to run on their road course which includes two of the main straights and one banked turn. It's not racing, point by passing only but you can go as fast as you want. I went to the one...

The camber was negative one degree. Now it is visibly positive on both wheels. The cam adjusters have not moved and the wheels has no play in it. Upper CA's are Firm Feel, 1.06 bars and Bilsteins. The car has 36,000 very hard miles on it (quarter miles passes, autocross and road courses)...

We just ran at NJ Motorsports Park in Millville Wednesday night. A lot of young people showed up with their cars. Of course I had the oldest car there and was twice the average age. There were 27 in the Novice group. It was fun. My son brought an Evo and I had to wave him past a couple of...

SCCA is having a Track Night in America event at NJ Motor Sports Park on Wednesday June 10th. They have two good road courses. It's not racing, but you can go fast. Spectators get in free. You can run your car for $150 without being a member. I'm running the old Plymouth in the novice class.

My tail lights are not bright enough in the rain or fog. I didn't want the complexity or the look of modern LED's so I searched the subject on FABO. It didn't take long to come across some really good advice from Slant Six Dan. He said use Philips 12899RX2 bulbs. So I bought a pair of of...

I posted a couple of passes on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAsIZHmkfNG0rGeMiw3FXVg This was a lot of fun, I'm going back next year.

Hotchkis ran their Real Street Shoot Out over the weekend. Rob Byrd and his crew did a great job. There were nine of us, and everyone had a lot of fun running under the lights Friday night. My time put me in the middle of the pack, but second overall for total points. On Saturday they were a...

I just got accepted to the Carlisle Hotchkis Real Street Shootout. We will be running the autocross course Friday night at 8:00 PM, under the lights at the fair grounds. During the day the cars are judged and then put through a street cruise around town. Even though we are slow, at least...

Is there a young gun looking for a pair of modern seats? I upgraded. These are free. I can bring them to Carlisle in July. One is in very good condition. The other is fully functional, but some outer fabric is torn. It could be repaired.

I bought an adjustable HANS from the Simpson trailer at the Summer Nationals. After following the directions and mounting the hardware on my helmet, it seems the restraining strap is way too loose. I can bend my head down until the helmet hits my chest. At that point the strap is just out of...

Sunday June 8th, 11-5 at Island Dragway, Great Meadows, NJ. It looks like good weather. RacerX and I will be running.

Hotchkiss is choosing ten cars to run the autocross, get dyno'd and make a 20 mile tour at the July 11,12,13 Carlisle show. Contact Ed at EdB@CarlisleEvents.com for more info.

So I get back from 1/4 mile racing and go to change the wheels and tires back to my 17 inch street wheels, just for the heck of it I try to put the 255's on the front. Wouldn't you know the damn things fit and look great. The front of the car would wash out on the autocross course with the...

I had a blast Saturday at Raceway Park, went five rounds in the B3 12 second trophy class. A lot of great cars and friendly people having fun. I somehow managed to win on the tree the first four rounds. My strategy was to dial in 0.1 quicker than what I think it will do and then just run it...

Aug 24th and 25th Mopars at Englishtown, NJ. I know the show and flea market has shrunk but the racing is still good, who's going?

Hotchkis did a great job of running the auto cross at Carlisle this weekend.It was my first time trying it. The car held up well and the crowd was very supportive. My kid's Caliber SRT4 was quicker so I put him in my car. It was fun watching him adjust from FWD to RWD. He still managed to...

Anybody hear anything on this? I heard there was a post on For B Bodies Only about it.

Does anybody have any experience dealing with the Ram Man (theramman.com)? He now carries OEM style A body rotors and I am considering a pair.

I would like to get some of my extra parts to you guys. You probably have a big project and a small budget, so this stuff will not cost much. I can ship them or bring them to Carlisle in July or Englishtown in August. The parts came off of second generation Barracudas. Small Bolt Pattern...

Here are two videos from my son's car running at the Glen. He was catching everything out there in his SRT4, including me. You can slide the bar at the bottom to fast forward. For the second day videos: At 11:25 of the first one you can see and hear the Cuda run by on the left when he pits...

We just got back after spending two days at the Glen with Chin Motor Sports. The FABO gang was right, it wasn't the snobs vs the slobs at all. There was a lot of high end cars and wealthy people, but they could not have been nicer. Everybody loved the old Cuda. I must have gotten 500 thumbs...

So my son talked me into signing up to run laps at Watkins Glen in May. I checked the roster of cars and they are all Porches, BMWs, Z06's, and Vipers. We are showing up with a 69 Cuda and a 2008 Caliber SRT4. It sounds like a good group but we will be representing the working class. Since...

Is anyone using the Eaton TruTrack differential? Will it work at the strip? I see a lot of people using them in Jeeps for off road.

This Sunday the 18th Island Dragway in Great Meadows NJ is running their Old Daze Drags. Anybody else plan on going?

I installed a pair of Firm Feel upper control arms and a PS box with their Stage III upgrade. The control arms got me to 2 degrees positive caster. Now the car gives good feed back. Exiting turns the wheel straightens out on it's own. Even with reduced pump pressure (Ehrinburg trick) I can...
