That’s not the full story. The kids did not want to take over the track when the parents got older. It was a staging yard for new cars for a while. Funny they spent all that money on going full on NHRA big events and then it died off. Cut my teeth at Englishtown.

What the heck was going on? I’ve never raced at a track that allowed that many people on the tar when a race was going down. Sad to see that car wreck. Hope the driver was okay.

He is another piece- take it or leave it. Not sure of the temps in FLA (lucky b you) but because they don’t deal with snow like we do- tracks run year round. But temps are cooler and air is more dense. My cars here in CT are still dealing with much cooler air than in summer. I leave alone and...

Good for you! And glad to see you are acknowledging our Lord and Savior. He is with you every step of the way! Enjoy this time- it goes by fast….. quarter mile at a time fast.

And honestly taking away their licenses? Like they have one to begin with. They steal the cars and blow them up and walk away. Stupid kids use their own cars.

I gotcha. I too only have street cars now and hate sitting at car shows like “the regulars.” I walk around a few trips and off I go. But for some people, that is their only place they get to “hang out.” Sweet Duster. I wish I was closer to the track and I’d have a company owned car myself.

Ah! Chicken and egg problem here sir. Why did someone go cutting up a sweet street car to make a race car? lol PBR!

TS…..

I’m watching Tacoma FD. Spent most of the day working on my excavator. lol! Screw the pooper bowl. And SN: TS may just be a Unix. lol!

Whoa! Next level there boys.

That is a totally open ended question: I can change my lawnmower compression from 9.5 to 11.5 and it will go from 3hp to 3.2hp. But in a 440 bored .040” it could change 350hp to 500hp. More info needed!!!

Drain it if you are that worried. Inclosed trailer will maintain some heat but freezing is an issue. We in New England are dealing with 10f right now. If antifreeze is good it’s good to -34 typically. If you are running straight water then drain it.

I figured they went woke and were going full electric from here on out. :rofl::mad:

Let’s face it, Ford and Chevy are also big sponsors. You cannot let them loose at their own events. Some day they will catch up.

I’ve always used brass but agree- it looks as it no longer as dependable as they used to be. Either made elsewhere or just no quality control. How has the plastic held up with the corn juice? Syleng1

Ooopsie! Sorry for your bad luck. But hey: it could had been way worse. Syleng1

I’ve had many blow outs and found under inflated and over speed is what kills tires. Age is really important. Drive them around at least once a month and keep them covered when not in use really helps.Hard to keep from heating up when it’s been a real summer. I switched to E ply tires where I...

“Oh crap! We gotta get these repairs made and win the race or Uncle Jesse is gonna loose the farm.” (Cue the 80’s montage music) LMAO! Syleng1

Hey Les, Do you ever get over to Oxford ME to the strip there? Wife and I are in that area (south) at a campground like 3rd week of Sept with friends. I was hoping to head there for Saturday night racing if any. I will not have my car but did not know what type of track it was. Like Epping or...

LMAO! Think anyone who owns a Nova ever gets tired of hearing that?

Congratulations! Tough field. I recognize some names.

Man you had me all excited with “East coast” that’s southern east coast. Lebanon valley or epping NH is East Coast. I guess I will cry myself to sleep now. Syleng1

Oh yea! “Lutz” okay thank you. Now I can put the face to the name. It was like I knew him personally but could not recognize why. Lol!

Easiest way for me is run the car up thru the rpm range under load - when it stops pulling you back in the seat - what’s the rpm? Remember that 5800 is for stock lifters and springs. My 1972 Demon 340 4 speed 3.91 gear is shifted at 5800 even though It still pulls higher. 25.5” tall street tires.

Why does that name sound so familiar?

Wow! That is awesome. Glad to see they see the value of a heathy park. Keep racers happy and they come back. Syleng1

Good for them! Glad to see this rivalry- we need more of this honestly. Remember that scarcity creates value. Everybody has a Camaro or Mustang.

Here in New England the drag ways are built in dead area. Then over time people build homes around the tracks and complain about the noise, weekend traffic and anything else they can. Then run the tracks out of business. We are down to just a few left. Epping New Hampshire (New England Dragway)...

Super nice front end action!

My neighbor I grew up with Ernie Bogue races one- “Beast of the East.” He knows him. Raced him before. So sad. God rest his soul!
