You're not alone! With my old '69 340 Swinger I was very tempted to rig up something like that over the rear tires using the windshield washer foot-pump bellows...an on-demand burnout water box!

No pic, but years ago we moved into our first house on a cul-de-sac in a brand new development. I had a built '69 Swinger 340 and my new neighbor across the cul-de-sac had a built SBC in his '57 Chevy Cameo pickup. I came home one day and found he'd done a burnout from the edge of my driveway...

Right on time, here's your Gerber Collision and Glass NHRA Route 66 Nationals"Tuesday Before the Event" reminder. Please post your picks before qualifying starts so you will be eligible for all event bonus points. The first of the scheduled four rounds of qualifying is scheduled to start at...

Just like past years, we're going to treat the 2024 NASCAR All-Star Race next Sunday (May 19) just like a normal weekend NASCAR race, but with less bonus point availability due to the simpler format of the 2023 All-Star event. All picks for the All-Star Open and the All-Star race events must be...

Two "amazing" races in a row, but the race this week at Darlington wasn't because of anything exciting. Darlington was "amazing" because neither the race winner, #6 Brad Keselowski, nor the race runner-up, #54 Ty Gibbs, was picked by any of our NASCAR "Pick 'Em" game players. No race winner or...

Liking what you're doing!

@fishmens67, less than 2 hours to the Darlington green flag. Don't miss out.

That was my guess as well. I thought about recording his pick as the #24 and posting what I had done, but I wanted to receive confirmation from Mike to be sure.

@memike, please confirm your #25 pick for Darlington. I don't see a #25 entry at Darlington listed on nascar.com. Thanks.

Congratulations to '44070dart' (FABO) for correctly picking #45 Tyler Reddick (and the cheesy 'stache) to be the quickest qualifier at Darlington. He picked up -1 bonus point. I loved all the throwback paint schemes.

Qualifying hasn't yet started on TV coverage. #5 Larson for the Pole at Darlington

Beautiful pics of Mother Nature's artistry. Thanks for sharing.

They can handle a bunch when properly built. I had mine built as a reverse-pattern, manual shift with a lock-up converter by Extreme Automatics in Ohio (www.extremeautomatics.com). They cut off the original tranny bellhousing and replace it with a billet Reid bell that bolts up directly to a...

Welcome from SoCal! I have a long-term '69 Dart project in process because of the memories I have of my '69 340 Swinger from too many years ago. I'm also planning on 4.30 gears behind a 360 and a 200-4R overdrive trans. The 0.68 OD will make the 4.30 gears act like 2.92 gears when in OD. Just a...
