    Nitrous shortage

    Propylene oxide was once used as a racing fuel, but that usage is now prohibited under the US NHRA rules for safety reasons. It has also been used in glow fuel for model aircraft and surface vehicles, typically combined in small percentages of around 2% as an additive to the typical methanol...

    Crank trigger

    I ran one for years on the strip along with Pete Jackson gear drive, the timing dont budge from where you set it, never. Makes it kinda hard to start unless you get the motor to spinning over then flip on ignition switch.

    Sad video too see..Closed Dragstrip

    Yeah, they had been on a noise curfew for years, there are even 2 (two) dirt tracks straight across the street from it all within the city limits. They want new houses there, nice big expensive ones and its all right next to the local landfill so the new home owners can move in and then *****...

    Our local drag strip in Fort Worth, Texas is closing the end of this year due to local politics. Hell its been operating non stop for like 50 years and has turned out some of the best bracket racers in the country.

    Big Block power with better heads???

    I like both the GM and BBM, have always said that if you put some shaft rockers on the chevy then you got something to work with so to me motors is motors pretty much, they all do the same thing. I have a host of chevy parts on my BBM already including the trans.

    MSD Garage door tango??

    The guy building these "illegal" amps we used was a trip, kinda dangerous too lol, he built a big base unit for home, 1500 watts or some crap, had a big triple beam directional antenna outside and one time he had it aimed just right that when he keyed it up his neighbor got electrocuted when...

    360 Intake with a quadajet carb.

    I love a Qjet carb, 389K miles on my DD with only one rebuild, works like a champ, small primarys and large secondaries plus as of a few years ago it never failed an emissions test, dont have to have that done now due to its a 1985. Mine is bone stock factory settings with a big K&N air filter...

    Correct Oil to Use

    I have seen it on sale there for as low as $21.95 per the 5 quart jug and the empty jug is handy to put the old oil in. My race car, the way it ended up was that with Mobil 1 20/50 it idles at 80 PSI and when I deck it it goes up to maybe 85 and stays there, I sleep good at night knowing its in...

    Correct Oil to Use

    Mobil 1 is my personal fav, there are other good synthetics out there but it seems that Mobil 1 is the most popular thus easier to find should you be away from home base and need a quart. Only trouble I ever had with synthetic is that it loves to find a place to leak out of and usually uses a...

    The old 10w30 vs 20w50

    The general rule of thumb is 10 psi per 1,000 RPM, works with chevy engines at least, 385K miles on mine with this "general" rule of thumb. For the longest time I ran 20/50 Mobil 1, I slowly milked in 10/40 and noticed a small power increase, immediately. Oh great maybe time for 10/30....more...

    Do you ever go in the garage and like....stare at your car....for hours?

    Stare at it long enuff and you start to see the body lines of other models, my 67 cuda FB would start to look like a 66 mustang FB and sometimes a 69 Nova LOL. The Big 3 kinda borrowed lines from others to maybe snag a little of their market.

    What do you bring to the track with you for a day of racing?

    Self driving cars? Whats the point?

    That cash for clunkers program awhile back was just a start for getting em off the road, before long we will have to buy a car from the goverment owned (bailouts) car companys.

    Self driving cars? Whats the point?

    Maybe too many dozing off behind the wheel? Personally I think that its for when the time comes the goverment can roll your windows up, lock your doors and drive you straight to the nearest FEMA camp for indoctrination into the NWO !! OH OH and I work at GM building the damn things and believe...

    Need some cheap A/C for your garage for the summer?

    I did something very much like that but on a much bigger scale, worked OK for what it was except..........metal in the shop started to corrode, put tooo much moisture in the air I guess was the scientific explanation.

    440 Mechanical Fuel Pump Delete ???

    Good luck getting the pipe plug out, after that many years its most likely seized up pretty good. It wouldnt hurt anything to just leave the pushrod in there, that way you'll know where it is if you should ever decide to go back with a mechanical pump. Yes put the plug back in or there will be...

    Automatic Brakes Will Be in All Cars by 2022:

    Some of the Escalades we build have plenty of fly by wire controls, FLR, seats that vibrate to warn you etc etc, hell just On Star scares me, you could be driving down the road and all of a sudden the Goverment freaks out (more so than usual) and takes control of your car, locking the doors and...
