No shame is losing to like 11 total. You had a very solid lap yourself

Haha, makes sense.lol Was gonna say, that thing is a hard charging sucker for a 6.50 car That will probably trip somebody up at the big end

Nice. The guy in the other lane, is that a turbo car? Wow, almost 1.60 60 foot and 0ver 112 in the 1/8 and only 6.50. Odd numbers lol

What was your bulb

422 is 4.100 by 4.00

You scared him to death!

No, unfortunately. Should have got some. Original paint bench seat car. I had a B5 one just like it years ago

You would think after decades I could get to the level of at least sucking taking pictures. But even that level continues to elude me..lol

Only car show I attend each year Blue 69 M code dart, real beauty Red 69 GTS, 383 car, ultra nice too Orange 69 340 4 gear bench seat swinger And Me I take horrible pictures, darn it

Ran W5 heads for years with Jessel stuff, never an issue with X block

Not an old myth at all. A bigger engine is going to want more head, guarantee you a stroker will make max power lower in the rpm range than a stock stroke motor, assuming same head for both. Bigger motor will take less rpm to make its peak power. For example the mountain motor pro stock stuff...

Seems like a bunch, I was figuring more like 18-20 grand with the block, roller, T&D rockers, etc, etc.

I ran my W5 stroker right at 7500 through the traps for years. This was 4.100 bore/ 4 inch stroke and 6.300 compstar rods, I used to race a ton back then, points, etc, etc.

Nothing wrong with a zero deck piston. Mine are at zero deck( flattops) I suspect that is what the build is using. Probably somewhere around a 60cc head which would yield about 12.5 compression like stated in the build. Yes, with a 9.200 deck you are really cramming the piston with a 4 inch...

Nice job. Congrats on making the finals!

I would use a 3.79 type deal with that short deck, but they probably had a bunch of short deck blocks around they need to get rid of. Yes, that results in a short custom piston. Nothing wrong with it in a race motor

More gear and convertor. Also port the heads if they haven’t been already, as they are small heads for that big of motor

Ain’t a thing I don’t love about that car Ultra sweet ride!!!

I footbrake and don’t use anything. Don’t use line lock. I just put my foot on the brakes in second gear, whap the gas real quick to get the rpm’s up, get tire spin quickly, off the brake, and drive out. I have learned both the radial tire and the wallet both like a light burnout. I do use the...

Got it fixed. Buddy had one!

Edit. Think it’s called a regulator rivet, found some online

Window fell down racing the other night, propped it up. Found out the piece I will show in the picture is broke. 1. What do you call it. 2. Where would I get one

Mainly around 1800-2300 feet while racing Saturday Was 3200+ on fri during my two test and tune hits. 63 and 65 on those two hits. 56-57 all day Sat. Air was 2300 Sunday but humidity was way higher went 58 and 60 in Elims ,no time trial.

They were at US131 earlier this year. Track prep there is stellar. Guy in charge of prep( son of the general manager) is sometimes hired to do prep at big events elsewhere. Know he has prepped at Rockingham and Tulsa recently Sadly, I suspect because of a somewhat dreary forecast, not many FAST...

It was, rain came in after 3rd round yesterday and ended the day. Kinda lucky I went out second round and got out dry before it hit

Yep. We were first pair out first round

First pair out yesterday, truck I raced and I were dialed identical 6.56. He did me a favor going red. Scroll a few pictures down. Wasn’t sure how to pluck just mine out…duh! US 131 Motorsports Park | Martin MI

Not so good today, won first round, went red second( real red Set personal best in this car 6.560. New best 1/8 MPH, 104.17, nothing broken. Oh, should mention, also set new lowest the car has weighed in the scales..3332.. Whoo hoo Here is the lap where I went down last night… if only….. Still...

Dark, couldn’t find what I did with last couple slips, but went out 011 red. Sucks because ran dead on with a zero 6.56( new best) and opponent was beatable with an 025 bulb. Picked up 125 bucks for my efforts. Feels good to get a check against these guys first time out. Hadn’t strung that many...
