Drag racing has been dead (for me) for some time. The tracks are far and few between, and more are closing with essentially none opening. Then....the scene has gotten over run with scumbags. Dopers, black t shirts, and all sorts of losers. It doesn't help that almost all my friends who used...

This site is interesting reading.... Drag Strip Deaths

What is a length law?

Popularity has never been an issue for drag racing. I can't think of a single year, or period of years, when drag racing was in fear of dying due to lack of popularity. I doubt it will ever die...but it does seem to get less and less attractive as time goes on. Sports.....I think in 50...

I don't care if the sport is popular or not - I care about whether it is enjoyable or not. As for ricers, I don't care if they are slow or fast. I do care if they are pieces of **** or not. A 4 cyl. civic that makes a clean run? Fine with me. One that backfires 27 times and wets the track...

Drag racing is on very shaky ground, for me, because as population has grown it's gotten harder to find a track that is tolerable. A lot of tracks have gone to 1/8th mile, and even those are so crowded it's a beating to go. I'm not big on killing an entire day just to make 2 or 3 runs. And...

No idea, but in general K-Motion suffered from lots of questionable quality issues for a longtime. They were the hot stuff 20 years ago but it seems more and more high-end guys were coming down on them. That's all hearsay but there's probably some truth in it.

Here's why port volume doesn't matter that much. Well, first, I think it does matter as you get closer to the valve. If you have a big valve and a small port (bowl) that's no good. And too big a bowl is no good, either. So we can say bowl volume, and shape, it pretty significant In any...

I've never understood why port volume mattered, at least not to the degree people think it does.

I actually didn't watch those videos...I tried but couldn't. I'm not big on "video production", because that leads to its own form of poop, but some amount of production is a good thing. I can't count the number of YouTube videos where they take 5:36 to say what they could have said in 1:10...

Drag racing is all but dead here in the Houston, TX area. Oh, there are a few tracks but (as others note) who wants to spend a whole day and lots of suffering to make 2 or 3 passes? And who wants to run a 13.1 mile marathon? As the world closes in on us, we would all be foolish to not...

Not to mention they use the metric system....cain't talk good, cain't do their gazintas.

A custom converter is fine....just understand that the outcome of any such endeavour will rely very heavily on the skills and knowledge and experience of the person customising the converter. It's half science, half art, and half 'let's see what happens'. **I've used the British spelling of...

"Well speak for yourself because I don't know why. I've never seen any of those shows. Not one." Have you ever been on a drag racing track? I'll assume so. You know those guys who always show up late with the loudest mouths, flashiest wads of cash, most expensive parts, and no real visible...

Anything those guys do - and I mean all of them on that show - is gonna be suspect. We all know why.
