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...

Well I was able to win the race against Kyle when he went -.003. The round before he put up a .009 and I put up a .011. My dial was 12.48 and his was 10.26 when meant he had to sit and wait a long time which can be tough. I now inherit the bye that was going to be his and that gives me a...

You might consider 906 Heads. Two or three less CC as I recall would get you near 9.5 Compression The 906 head flow considerably more than the 452 in stock form. You do have to consider the seat issues. I know 906 heads do not have harden seats. I do not remember if 452 sometimes or always...

The stock compression deck on a 383 is about 1.93. That is about .150 shorter than the stock compression deck on a 426. Would they fit = yes. Compression ratio would be around 7 to 1 or a bit less.

As I recall we pay $100.00 for medical insurance at every race. When I had an accident at Winternationals they attended to me When they were ready to put me in the Ambulance, they asked for a major credit card to run. I told them that I had insurance from NHRA = They said that ONLY covered...

Kyle absolutely destroyed his beautiful fast Camaro. He lost his brakes when he shut down after the pass. I saw him before the race and he had his beautiful 6 month old baby in his arms. He walked away from the scary wreck pretty much unscathed. I had a wreck in 2008 at much less speed and was...

Well almost 4 PM and still wet! I do not know if we will race today or not. As in the earlier rounds = No one expects me to win. The elderly man in the Aspen 318 Wagon is never the favorite in the race against the other cars that have often 10 or 20 times the investment in them. But the race...

First round I drew former Division Champion Ryan Mangus. I was holding .035 on the tree and went down and took a .004 strip on his hard closing Nova with the 318 Aspen Wagon. Second round I had the misfortune to draw the former to Champion and current Division Champion Jody Lang. I put up a...

I use them to Iron my Fire Suit, real time saver in the Pits!

A couple rounds into the Race, Jon faced off against Former World Champion (And Family Friend) "Bad Brad" Burton. This was a rematch of the finals at Arizona Finals a couple years ago where Brad beat Jon in a very tight race. Jon held a tiny advantage on the start with a .007 light but Brad...

I raced former World Champion Ryan Mc Lannahan I put up a .022 light to his .020 light I dialed 11.08 and ran 11.086 (Dumped at 1275 Ft). He dialed 8.51 and ran 8.504 Next round my Hood latch broke against Troy Vetter who won the whole deal. Anyone have an extra Demon Hood latch 71/72 or...

Look for a Elder Man with Red Irving Family Racing "Nevada Missile Motorsport" T Shirt looking lost and wandering aimless around track!

The 68 Valiant was picked by Hot Rod Magazine as one of the 50 most influential of first 50 years of the magazine. It was invited to be displayed at the Peterson Museum at that time. It was one of the first Valiants be in magazines as a hot rod before they were popular. It is nearly unchanged...
