Yea, I don't plan much for next year as far as changes. I will get some new drag radials or drag slicks, in 275/60-15 instead of the 255/60-15s to fill out the rear wells. The engine and chassis are close to ideal for how it was originally designed, but the cam was designed with nitrous in mind...

We finally got the Scamp to the dragstrip. 2 of my sons raced it. 6 runs total and we finally broke into the 11 seconds with a 11.727 and 11.710 runs. The runs were very close by each son. The older son won by a tenth of a second. That was our mission. Get into 11 seconds but not 11.49...

No, he bought a truck. We built the scamp together and I told him that he can drive it any time he wants. He has 4 young girls under 7 yo. He needed a truck more than a challenger. So he gets the best option. He can drive the scamp whenever he wants but does not have to store it. It stays on...

Funny that you should say that. That is my oldest son. It was a staging issue that he was not ready for and just got caught asleep at the switch. He was quite unhappy with that performance. He sold that challenger.

I think that was 12.4. Our best is 12.2 but that is just letting the transmission shift, and do so badly.

This was last year. Not sure I need that much smoke but it hooked up well

Post Falls, I go to Spokane to race. The Friday race was cancelled. Only one more chance next weekend before they close for winter

It is a bm quicksilver shifter. The transgo 2 allows for immediate manual shifts.

I will check this before the races. Thanks a bunch.

The recommendation of 5800rpms was given to me after reading the datalogs from the Super Sniper EFI by Master Engine builder Andy Finkbeiner. He was kind enough to review it on the Holley Forum a while back. Thanks again. Hopefully the rain holds off this Friday. The last day of the season is...

Thanks for all the help here. I am familiar with the 1st gear issues. We will avoid that at all costs. When shifting, do you let off the gas or just keep the pedal down? Kind of a dumb question but my manual transmission brain is confused.

VERY amateur racer here. I have a 440 stroked motor in my 73 scamp. I rebuilt the transmission and put in a Transgo2 shift kit. This year we have only had it out to the track a couple times and allowed the trans to shift automatically. It shifts quickly 1-2-d which may need to be remedied...

Track was very slippery today. Many cars had to shut it down or get off the throttle because things got squirrelly. We ended up slower ET but faster trap speed. Also the 60 ft sensor was not working but it didn't matter with 95* heat and no prep. Fastest was a 12.5 but at 114. and change, I...

Last month we took the scamp to Spokane for some no prep racing and this weekend we are doing it again. Here is a video of the previous race. This is a street/hot rod and occasional racecar. Full interior but a stroked 440. Last year dynoed at 409 to the rear wheels and some tweaks sere made...
