Saw a blurb on FB yesterday in which the poster was saying that Memphis Motorsports Park may be coming back under IHRA sanction. This is supposed to be a part of the upcoming big announcement from the new ownership of IHRA. The FB post with video was made from inside Memphis Motorsports Park...

I tried both the dual carb tunnel ram set up and the single carb/Indy port matched intake this past season and there was very little difference in ET/MPH between the two. I've had the M1 W5 intake sitting around for over a year now so I'm going to give it a try. If I don't like it I'll put the...

New Comp Cam, new solid roller lifters, new Smith Bros pushrods, new set of Harland Sharp rocker arms, somehow figure out how to drill out and re-tap a broken valve cover stud in the passenger side W5 head, swap converters, get rid of the weak two piston brake calipers on the front wheels and...

I got back home from a weekend race last night and saw this news, it absolutely floored me. While I never met John in person (and was hopeful to rectify that soon) he always struck me as a stand up guy. When I decided to get back into drag racing and discovered this sight John would always...

indeed it is! Still had a great time during the weekend, we always enjoy time spent at LVD.

So after missing the event last year we made the 270 or so mile haul from Maine to Lebanon Valley Dragway for the annual Dover Drags Nostalgia weekend. Got a much later start than I wanted from the house and arrived at the track just as the sun was setting. Friday was a test and tune day so...

And most likely that jackass driver will have no charges of any kind filed against them. Up here in Maine the media always makes it appear that the biker was at fault. Idiot car driver crosses the center line and kills a biker, its the bikers fault because they didn't have a helmet on. Idiot...

Been watching Drag Week on their live feed. Looks like a great event!

I really want to attend this event and/or the other mopar event at London at some point. It would be a long haul down from Maine though.

Thank you Bill, I very much enjoyed this thread and your build of Fred. I can very much relate to why you made the decision you have made. After being out of racing for 24 years, in 2019 at the age of 63 I decided to jump back in. All that I had left from my previous year's of racing was a...

LSA on the card is 106

Good afternoon all! Got a question about valve lash settings. After running my Arrow for almost two seasons now I finally was able to get the cam card from the previous owner/engine builder. It's a Bullet cam, solid roller, 276/285 duration @ .050, gross lift .685/.682, and cam card says hot...

And of the COPO drivers that got caught using the illegal pulleys one was disqualified from the event and the others were just fined, including the Stanfields. This is blatant favoritism being shown by NHRA for the whole world to see and the NHRA doesn't care. Ridiculous and despicable beyond...

went to that link and Super Gas round two was running, now Top Dragster..

Top Sportsman Racer David Crafts from right next door to me Lisbon, Maine is shooting for a 3 second pass in his Corvette at this event. He knocked on the 3 second door last night.

This is going to be a awesome build. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

I absolutely loved the K-Mart subs!

If anyone has any Harland Sharp or MP roller rocker arms for W2/W5 race heads please PM me. Racer in need.

I suffer no illusions that those lights will carry on! But after a season and a half of running this car I'm finally feeling comfortable in it, and have figured out what it does and doesn't like. The only change I made to the car since buying is was a complete rewire this past spring, swapping...

So I spent this past weekend at Winterport Dragway, one of our 1/8th mile tracks here in Maine. Saturday was the annual Bracket Bash and Quick 16 race. Sunday was regular classes plus a big race for the junior dragsters. Saturday I was running Super Pro, car was running good, 5.84 to 5.86...

The deductible is 4% of the agreed value of the Arrow and my trailer/contents. On track deductible for the Arrow is 8% of agreed value.

Good afternoon fellow Mopar racers. I thought I would share this information with you in case anyone would be interested. I want to make it clear that I'm only sharing information and not submitting an ad nor am I being compensated in any way, shape or form. Anyway, recently at one of my...

Was planning on attending 3 days of $10K to win races at Lebanon Valley this weekend but right now the weather forecast looks like a total washout Friday thru Sunday.

I'm absolutely fascinated with your grinder artistry John! Glad to hear you're feeling better!

Welcome back Fast Jack!

I’m planning on running the Triple $10K race at Lebanon Valley second weekend in August, and then the New England $10Ks at New England Dragway first weekend in September. At almost 68 years old I have no illusions of ever winning one of these races. But I love the competition and going up...

Would it have been acceptable to you if he had just said ‘the economy’?

This whole Junior Dragster flipping the bird in the winners circle got started by a blog called Double 00 S*** Show. Courtney Enders is involved with it I believe, but I could be wrong about that. Normally they post stuff that I mostly find funny, but starting this trend with the juniors is...

on second thought, it does look like a gopher.
