    Well, I found the limit of stock CR & lil cam

    I think you could've gone faster with a little more tuning. I had a 318 that was running high 13s with nothing more than cam, 750 carb, headers and 360 heads.

    I got the new Jegs and Summit catalog in the mail

    I ordered a bunch of stuff from Jeg's yesterday around 9 AM. I realized I forgot to add a couple of things, so I called them up around noon to ask if I could cancel the order - they said it was already packed for shipping. But they said that I could place a new order and they'd waive the...

    I got the new Jegs and Summit catalog in the mail

    I use Jeg's because I get the racer discount... The price usually winds up being cheaper than Mancini or Summit. And the 1 price shipping for everything is nice, too. Mancini has a lot more Mopar stuff but I always get stung by the high shipping charges from them.

    PINKS 4 Wide Drag Racing? What Do You Think?

    I finally watched the show (had it on DVR). The 4 lane racing was pretty cool, but it looked like the cars weren't matched up all that well. In previous episodes they would be be neck and neck all the way down the track, winning by a foot or two. This time some of the cars were way out in front...

    PINKS 4 Wide Drag Racing? What Do You Think?

    My wife's aunt & uncle live there... it's an old folks community now. I remember when they were talking about building zMax, they said they were going with 4 lanes so there wouldn't be any issues during weekly racing or when the big guys came to town, in case somebody oiled a lane they could...

    Perf. Tips Dart Drag Car

    Do you have that velocity stack sealed to the hood with a scoop? It's hard to tell from those pictures. If you don't have a scoop, or if there's not a lot of space between the top of that stack and the scoop get rid of it. Go with a high-flowing K&N filter that sticks up through the scoop...

    Wooly Mammoth on Passtime

    That's Charles from Pinks, yeah?

    Pinks All Out Epic FAIL in progress.....

    Exactly! When I started racing at my local track, I was running 14's and 15's and racing against dragsters running in the 7's and 8's - and winning. I was 2/3 of the way down the track before they got the green and they couldn't judge where I was by the time they got to the top end so they'd...

    a good guy alert BJR (Bobby)

    Good to hear. The firewall got a little over-zealous and blocked most of Europe. And Africa. And all of Australia. Fixed now. ;-)

    Sealing a SixPack Hood to the Carb

    What kind of foam is that, and where did you get it?

    How are you trying to get to it? If you go to BJRRacing.com what happens?

    Seconded... or thirded... Or maybe fourthed. Bobby's a good guy, is what I'm trying to say. Check out his website: http://www.bjrracing.com. Lots of good tech info on there!

    First time out

    I don't see why you wouldn't be able to run 12s with that... but you've got to get your driveshaft fixed first. My 360 with a 513/533 Lunati cam, X heads, dual plane intake, crappy headers, Holley 750, PTC 9.5 converter, 727, 3.91 gears in an 8-1/4 has gone a bet of 12.21 @ 112 without the...

    First time out

    Are you running a stick or an automatic? The only time I've seen people use the line lock to stage is when they're rowing. Otherwise you're getting off with one foot on the brake and one on the gas. You'll have to play with it to find out what your car likes best, some like to leave off-idle...

    Thanks. That makes me feel a little better. But just a little. :-(

    Can't sleep! Too excited!

    They were talking about that guy (he's the one that won the wheelie contest), I think they said it won the fastest streetcar shootout, or something like that. I don't remember hearing anything about the pump gas drags.

    Can't sleep! Too excited!

    Hey, I saw your car there and was wondering if it was somebody from here. ;-) I was #244, you must've rolled in right after me.

    Can't sleep! Too excited!

    I got a whole lot of pics and a whole lot of stories.... I'll post more later. But here's a couple of teaser pics. Here's how my car spent the weekend: My buddy got into the Wheelstand contest. I think he should've won, but that's just me. Rich arm dropping: The...

    Can't sleep! Too excited!

    I met John, Tom, Walter and a whole bunch of people from other boards. They all stopped by to see my car on the trailer after my engine blew up again. Tons of water in the oil.. we thrashed on it last night, tore the top off and put on new intake gaskets, resealed everything. Started it up and...

    Can't sleep! Too excited!

    We're here, sitting in the field. They're checking people in 1 at a time... they're up to 103, I'm #244 and I got here at 7:30. Hurry up and wait!

    Can't sleep! Too excited!

    Thanks, everybody for the wishes of luck and what not. Gotta get up at 4, so I'm gonna hit the sack soon. I expect to be sitting outside E-Town's gate by 7 tomorrow morning. W00t!

    Can't sleep! Too excited!

    Come find me! You know what my car looks like, and we'll all be wearing orange or yellow t-shirts that say "Burwood Boys Racing" on both sides. Should be easy to spot. ;-)

    I'm not quite sure what you're offering there... but I'm just gonna say "LOL" and shrug it off. ;-) The Hyatt Regency in New Brunswick. About 20 minutes from the track. I usually stay at the Hilton but their pool isn't as nice as the Hyatt's and my son likes to swim. Lucky you. My wife...

    Can't sleep! Too excited!

    There's no brackets, it's just 400 guys (and girls) making runs and then they pick a class of 16 cars that are really close together. FYI, you can watch streaming video on speedtv.com starting at 11 AM on Saturday. Keep an eye out for my orange Duster. ;-)

    Can't sleep! Too excited!

    Oh yeah, gotta make sure I can get on here from my phone... I'll have my laptop but don't know if I'll have a line to plug it into. So news might have to wait until Sunday night. ;-)
