    What's on your "to do" list for this winter on your race car?

    I enjoy the extra long season we have down here in the south and now it's time to pull the drag car in the shop and take care of a few things. Not including normal maintenance, here is my list for this winter: 1. Send converter off to be freshened. It's been 7 years :eek: 2. Have the...

    Need Converter freshened

    I messaged them today and they said 2 day turnaround. Wow, you can't beat that!

    Need Converter freshened

    I have a PTC 8" 5500 stall that I haven't had freshened in 7 years. No issues, but will have trans. out this winter, so why not? Should I call PTC or take it somewhere else? I've heard they were having some kind of issues.

    Looking for professional engine builder/machinist

    Contact Speedway Motors in Lincoln Ne. If they can't do it they should be able to put you in touch with someone they trust.

    Did OK at Vintage Drags in Tx

    After switching from 29.0 tall to 32.0 slicks, my car slowed down just enough for me to go down from Super Comp to Comp class at Little River Dragway's semi annual Vintage Drags. Then the track manager dropped a bomb at the driver's meeting when he proclaimed that both classes can use delay...

    Screwed the Pooch at Summit Team Finals Today in Texas

    Don't need to change anything. Just stay consistent. I can footbrake .000 to .01 but occasionally a bad light will creep in. This one just came at the worst time.

    Screwed the Pooch at Summit Team Finals Today in Texas

    If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all. TNT Thursday worst light was a .01 (footbraking) Friday gambler's race worst light was a .009 Almost all lights the whole weekend were .00 something 1sr round today... .002 red and I'm in the trailer. Oh and he had a.06 light! Isn't that...

    shots from the garage...

    What do you set your toe in at? Scrapping stock upper control arms this winter on my 70 Duster, replacing with QA1's. Stock bottoms are still good.

    Question

    Why even get out of the trailer. Just let the car go down the track then brag about what a good racer you are. This electronic stuff is really getting ridiculous, but everyone has bought them so if the track outlaws delay boxes, transbrakes', shift solenoids, etc they won't have anybody left to...

    Anti roll bar?

    Lower your drivers side front suspension about an inch and you'll leave level and hook well. Good Luck!

    Hope taller tires won't hurt pinion angle too much

    Car has slowed a bit but more consistent. Had a race 2 weekends ago. 5 passes. Never spun a bit. Last Saturday night at a track with bad prep, never spun, made it to semifinals then broke out as weather was cooling down. He had a .006 tree to my .02 and he ran his number dead on with a 2! I...

    So how many guys went to Moparty in Bowling Green

    So how many guys went to Moparty in Bowling Green

    I've been to ChallengerFest there years ago and really liked the place, but I didn't have to tow 13 hours to get there. I'd love to go to some Mopar only races but they are too far away. My tow limit is about 3 hours. For the right event I might be talked into 4 hours, which would get me to...

    Hope taller tires won't hurt pinion angle too much

    Test n Tune went well Friday night. The taller tires did slow things down a little but it hooked every time. No vibrations.

    Thanks, but I footbrake and leave at idle.

    Hope taller tires won't hurt pinion angle too much

    Test n Tune went well Friday night. The taller tires did slow things down a little but it hooked every time. No vibrations. Cold front moving through. By the next race the air will be much drier and cooler so hoping for consistent e.t's . After the last race I had to replace the starter and a...

    My new 340 at the track

    Are you running a 14 or 16 volt system? I noticed your XS Power battery.

    Hope taller tires won't hurt pinion angle too much

    Usually not. My wife hasn't been coming with me this year. I'll try to find someone at the track. The slo mo videos help a lot.

    Hope taller tires won't hurt pinion angle too much

    With the shorter tires and leaving off idle it pulls about a 12" wheelie when it hooks good. I expect that to be less now but I don't care if I can get it to hook at tracks with bad prep. Also new tires are softer compound so may get away with shorter burnouts. Most of this will be answered...
