Red Headed Stepchild-75 Swinger LSX Swap

[SwingerLSX75]

Good evening everyone,

Finally back and settled from Pinks the Callout. Unfortunately we didnt get the win. With limited testing time due to all the rain the last month I wasnt able to have it more dialed in but we still went 5th or 6th fastest in round 1. Unfortunately when the chip draw happened I was paired against the tube chassis promod nova who ended up winning the the entire event. Even with his being a promod I still had him covered for about the first 200ft, but got got out motored and out turboed. Two completely different levels of cars.

Literally spent 95% of my time with fans, helping team Canada, and other racers. It was awesome.

Random question, Who do you guys recommend for getting some single stage E5 that would match closest to the darts signle stage Bright Red? Or base coat clear coat works as well since it'll be for the dart's drag n drive trailer.

Damn, that thing scoots!

Question - Since it's still a "street car," what insurance company do you insure it through when it's street driven?

Hagerty, they have a dual street/strip policy. Although i had to submit my NHRA license for them to be able to insure it.

I have been busy while also slacking on my update. Recently had a wheelie issue and broke some stuff. Overhauled the suspension and then went back to test and ended up going a 1.17 and followed that with a 1.16 60 foot. Got myself a new drag n drive trailer, and new set of radials for the back. Then we went down to NC for the Drop the hammer drag n drive and ended up taking home the win in 28/275 after 400 miles and 3 tracks. Also won the fast 8 shootout for $1000.

That's awesome. I had no idea they had policies for drag cars. I always wondered what the drag and drive guys do for insurance. I figured they all lied to the insurance companies. haha Awesome photos too. Thanks for posting.

Is that a broker?

Yes. I got coverage on my Arrow and trailer including all of its contents, and includes on track coverage through them last year. Coverage includes engine and drivetrain, and whole car replacement. Same with my trailer. I really expected it to be unaffordable but was surprised to find out is was affordable. Worth checking into in my opinion.
