    Trail and error (s) Still had fun at LVD

    Not using mixed fuels, only 93 octane pump gas. Was considering while the tank was low at the track to add a few gallons of 108..next time that is, and bumping the timing up. I know quite a few guys with high comp. street cars who "blend" race fuel with pump gas. Since the car isnt a...

    Trail and error (s) Still had fun at LVD

    Timing: something else I wanted to go over!! Dont have a good timing light, didnt want to adjust the timing that high on pump gas.. still had to drive 160+ miles round trip.. But considered blending a few gallons 108 and bumping the timing.. Unfortunately didnt trailer the car there...

    Trail and error (s) Still had fun at LVD

    Well the snubber is cheap enuff, but to be honest at this point especially without the headers on (easily losing 50-60 HP off the 430 dyno HP ) and the stock '70 340 air cleaner assembly I dont think the crank power is twisting those springs just yet. Maybee with better traction. Was...

    Trail and error (s) Still had fun at LVD

    Well 1st time for me with the Duster on the dragstrip. Had a great experience, last time I really dragraced was back in the mid 1980's. I'll have plenty of questions for the experienced A body racers. I planned to do 3 runs (had an 88 mile drive BOTH directions) so didnt want to push my...

    helmets

    Ran 2 time trials in Street class and never was asked to wear a helmet. Even after breaking 13.8's. Was hoping to get at least 3 passes for my $$, not until after my dial in time was posted was I asked for a helmet. I thru on my 1/2 DOT helmet and was good to go :) Freakin FUN...

    helmets

    Thats a good question. I dont ever remember seeing helmets for sale or rentals there, but that would be an option I'd be interested in. May have to call them on it. Raceway Park sell them on their website. Im holding off on a purchase to make a good buy on a FF helmet to wear both on the...

    helmets

    I found some good helmet info on the Englishtown NJ website. Raceway Park. Thats how I was able to find that if they really check my scooter helmet out at LVD they would deny me to race the car. Minimum requirement is Snell 2000 rating. I may just bring my DOT 1/2 helmet along and ask.

    helmets

    yep, thats where Im headed. I had high hopes it would be 12.99 or quicker. Now I need to try and find a helmet to borrow for Saturday or I get to "spectate". Thanks for the info. :)

    helmets

    Im just concerned about specific track rules and "their" requirements..ie: rules and regulations. I notice some glaring exceptions to NHRA rules which completely disregard et's. Example, FAST class: LOW 10 sec cars without 6 pt.rollcage? Isnt the rule 11.99 and quicker? Also, totally...

    helmets

    My m/c skidlid doesnt have the snell rating inside. I found some info on the Raceway Park website that was helpful, the Lebanon Valley website kinda sucks. It doesnt look good that I'll have a helmet by Friday :( Im hoping maybee since the car has no history at this track I'll get a "bye"...

    helmets

    For the racers, what rules apply for helmets? Im assuming the helmet I use while riding the m/c is probably not up to track rules?? Its a DOT, 1/2 helmet. Do you need full face?? Thanks

    Lebanon Valley Dragway is destroyed !!!!

    I'll be there, tempted to run the car. Whats the rule on helmets? Will a fullfaced MC helmet pass? 1/2 helmet?

    Lebanon Valley Dragway is destroyed !!!!

    Teds right, track is back to normal. Matter of fact, the MoPar show scheduled for Sept. is ON. Im not sure of the date, guessing weekend of 19-20th??? I need to check their website.

    First Mopar To win Pinks-all-Out!

    Thats probably why there isnt much MoPar participation in the regular episodes of Pinks...the actual pinkslip swap. I would rather take the cash than have to find a way to drag a Chevy home :razz: , or push it or whatever. I prefer to watch All-Outs. We need to get some of our A body...
