    Avoided towing disaster.

    When I could find them, I'd hit up the Army-Navy surplus stores and look for US Air Force cargo ratchet strap binders, usually at a good price too! They were rated 10K working and something like 25K+ breaking. NEVER would I use any Ebay straps for serious securing. Even though many claim they're...

    I hate the direction racing is heading

    There are two methods of thought to both brackets and .90 racing: true dial-in 'bracket racing' does involve a developed skill of judging when and where to 'back-pedal', shut off/get your foot off the loud-pedal, really knowing the particulars of your vehicle and the most important...

    I hate the direction racing is heading

    I'll have to agree with you there Tom. Back in the day, I'd get off work, have the car on the trailer in the shop (notice 'ON' the trailer, no enclosed trailers back then, and lots of guys were were still using tow bars), haul that 500 miles and catch some zzzz's in the cab before the gates...

    Enclosed Trailer Questions

    I bought an Interstate 24' a couple of years ago and tow it with a '95 D3500 std cab dually w/the Cummins and NV4500. The truck doesn't hardly wince at 10K+ behind it and it tows straight and true, but I also have have the equalizer bars and ajustable reciever hitch so one can adjust tongue...

    Ya like someone said, racing isn’t like it used to be.

    Exactly, and that's what the SouthEast Gassers Assn is all about, '60s type heads-up racing. The Assn 'rules' are limited to a 10.5" slick for gassers and 7" cheater slick for s/s. It's tough to get hooked on a small tire but there are a few guys making bumper-dragging launches on that little...

    Ya like someone said, racing isn’t like it used to be.

    Sears Point? Sacto? Fremont? Quite possible. I lived in Vallejo until '93 when my 'carrier' job went south and I moved to Dunsmuir, an hour south of the Oregon border. I really miss Fremont as it was a neat place to race and the folks there were friendly and helpful...it was a great track and...

    Ya like someone said, racing isn’t like it used to be.

    Mr Irving, you and I have both been around to know what exactly is and has been transpiring over the last 3+ decades with class racing and the political nonsense that goes along with it. I started racing S/S in 1971, primarily at Vacavalley and Fremont (Sears Pt was too inconsistent then with...

    How excited do you get about racing ??

    Come on, since WHEN is there an age limit (too young/too old!?!)...nadda! My Dad warned me about the addicitive nature of playing with hot rods even though he never raced. The first time I went to a dragstrip, it was beyond cool and 2 yrs later my first trip down the track was like somebody had...

    SOUTHEAST GASSERS ASSN

    Years ago (probably not much different today, if the truth be known), NASCAR and NHRA were really down on the Chrysler Corp group and came right out front and said 'We don't care about Chrysler cars, there's more Chevies and Fords than those Mopars...more GM fans anyway' or something of that...

    SOUTHEAST GASSERS ASSN

    How many of you folks live in the mid-west and south that know about this organization? I moved from Calif 17 months ago and knew about the Mid-west NSS but not about the SEG Assn. They're basically nothing newer that 1967, kinda like stuck in the '60s but they have Gas classes like they had...

    liberty hemi 4 speed

    If you need an input restored/lengthened to original Chrysler length, Liberty does that for $75, gears replaced at a REASONABLE price, pro shift rings replaced/face plating, etc. QUITE reasonable on their prices, especially considering what's involved. I just had them replace pro rings and...
