Wow !! with all the negativity this forum is getting to be like Moparts.com. There is nothing wrong with racing a "slow " car although my 11 second Dart is my primary race vehicle , my " slow " 15 second pickup actually has a better winning record. I race in two classes with my Dart that trans...

I agree with speedkills , I am retired but work part time for an excavating / landscaping company for some extra racing money back in the spring I was bringing a mini excavator back from a job on a tag trailer it was dark and around 8 in the evening I blew a trailer tire , I was on the...

I have had my enclosed trailer for over 20 years and never had a problem until I burnt up a wheel bearing last year on the way to Cecil County for an index race. Luckily it happened less than 10 miles from my house and and only 2 miles from my sister in laws house and I was able to limp there...

I don't think NHRA or Nascar for that matter realize how many Mopar fans there are ! not that they care or ever did

I miss PST ... a local racer here has one of Todd Pattersons old PST Dakotas, still has the old Mopar paint scheme on it ,it has some type of " B ' motor in it now , I think its for sale actually. I love that truck ! way out of my price range however . I lost all respect for Chris Mc Gaha when...

I will be there for the SSCS Sept. 27-28 and again Nov. 1-2 , I haven't gone yet this year due to rain in their forecast and its a 2 1/2 hour tow .. too far for an iffy forecast. Good Luck with your test and tune !

Does anybody think for a minute if it had been a Mopar that got caught they would change the rule to appease them like they just did for the Chevies ? Sickening ... they get caught cheating then make the part they cheated with legal .. typical NHRA ! Now Factory X can be an all Chevy field just...

Thanks S'cuder for posting , I couldn't figure out how to do it , and I talked to the Blackbird team at Indy and asked why Allen Johnson left the team they told me so he could spend more time with his aging father and family... a picture of " Blackbird " in the pits at Indy last week. I have...

I don't know how to repost or link a post but I saw an article posted today on Facebook by the Blackbird team that they are no longer competing in NHRA factory X or FSS because of this they will still compete just not at NHRA events. Good article and it goes into detail about their decision...

I agree .. years ago I went to a Product Engineering pump with a built in filter and built in return to the fuel cell , -10 hose to the regulator and dual -6 to the carb from the regulator it didn't go any faster than the old Mallory 140 I had. I have ran Mallory regulators for years , I had...

Good Luck with getting a refund thru your credit card company , they are usually pretty good when it comes to disputes like this. I know my Amex has gotten me refunds on at least three different disputes.

I had to do the same as moparstud when I put the CSR shield on my small block / 904 Dart : flatten the lip and drill access holes in the firewall . I also had to grind the casting bosses off the bell housing in order for the shield to fit. ( picture is my spare 904 also with the bosses ground off )

Cool !!! love the Dakotas !!!

We are on our way home to N.J.( 11 hour drive one way ) We drove out just for the Hemi Challenge it was an awesome show and worth the trip the rest of the NHRA crap show not so much . We talked to several of the challenge drivers .. what nice cool down to earth guys . McCandless stated he will...

A friend and I are leaving N.J. early tomorrow morning and are driving to Indy specifically to see the Hemi Challenge , I can't wait !!

Yep !!! Island Dragway !! we tried a low first gear set in one of my 904s it didn't make any difference at least in my combo. It leaves well now: I only leave at 2,000 with a 4.30 gear and 4,900 stall 8 inch converter and my 60 fts are 1.58-1.61 deep ( 1.48 - 1.51 shallow ) I had my throttle...

I like Super Street but my car isn't fast enough only going 10.70s off the stop and I can't deep stage. I have inquired and they told me no deep staging. Engine is a 410 c.i. small block , 360 Magnum block , 9.5 to 1 compression , runs on pump gas, 585 / 595 lift mech .cam , W2 heads , Victor W2...

Not good around 090. First round I was 016 , my worst light in eliminations was 030 to my opponents 066 second round I ran dead 7 , then 011 , 001 on a bye , then 008 in the Final . I had the slower car every round except the Final.

Thanks !… no transbrake , no two step , no delay box .. I foot brake !!!

Had a good day yesterday !!! I ran Pro Dial ( .500 pro tree , any dial ) 1/8 mile , five round race , I had the bye fourth round into the Final

Back about 10 years ago my friend was driving my Dart at the now gone Raceway Park in the 11.50 index class ( we Won the points championship ) I had always left at 2,500 rpm when I was driving , he was leaving at 2,000 . In my combination there was really no difference in 60 ft or r.t.s between...

This is from the Moroso catalog it also says not in stock .. mine is modified with a longer bolt and I drilled another hole in my cable bracket to hold the stop assy. ( I have a Jegs linkage / return spring bracket ) as I found out that only bolting it to the carb stud it would tend to pivot on...

I have been running pro tree / 11.50 index for over 12 years now. I struggled going shallow on a .500 pro tree , I got some advice from two very well known successful bracket racers they said " Go Deep and stay Deep " I have and have been pretty successful. My car runs 10.80s I slow it down to...

Technically yes but the laws aren’t really enforced . You aren’t supposed to use it for daily transportation etc. I haven’t heard about anybody being pulled over and questioned about it. To be honest I really don’t drive the truck much if I do it’s just to a cruise , show or the track as I race...

My Dart ( race car ) and and my 92 D150 are both covered by Heacock ( American Modern ) the Dart is covered everywhere except on the actual track.. a few years ago someone " hit and ran " the 1/4 panel of the Dart while it sat outside my trailer at the track resulting on $2400 worth of damage...

IMO .. disgusting !!! anything for a buck to pad the wallets of NHRAs top brass that know nothing about drag racing ! I also have zero interest in professional drag racing especially since they went to 1,000 ft and since there are no Mopars in P/S ... I do follow Stock and Super Stock however as...

Westcott Jr. is driving the Andy Rhoades owned " Karolinacuda " Andy is driving the "Krazycuda ", this will be the second two car team as said Jason is driving " Fishstick " and Bucky the "Pshychocuda " . A friend and I are driving out from N.J. just to watch the Hemi Challenge. I am psyched ...

Same here my friend and I were all set to go to our local track for a pro dial race. Mind you the race is ran by an outside promotor and he matches your entry into pro dial ( we pay $50 and he matches the $50 for a total of $100 ) The track in the past charged $70 for the track entry / tech card...

Looks like it is going to track west of here , today is raining , tomorrow is supposed to be worse then clearing out overnight tomorrow . However my local track tends to flood after really heavy rain .. hoping for the best or just wishful thinking perhaps !
