    Edgewater in Cincinnati

    Any one that races at this track regularly has some strong opinions on the owner of the track but I just found out he passed away. The future of this track is really in jeopardy now unfortunately.

    Some pictures from last night.

    This was a one serious group of mopar race cars! They are fairly well known here on Ohio but I figured I would post some pics.

    Any radial racers or small tire guys?

    I have been interested in radial racing and small tire stuff for a couple of years but going to the race in Bowling Green has me amazed by what these guys are doing. Is anyone on here running any small tire classes or radial races?

    Got to see some of my favorite cars today!

    I went to a big radial race in Bowling Green and got to see a very exciting show. Watching these radial cars run into the threes was insane and seeing cars running in the 4’s on a 275 radial tire was mind blowing.

    Dirt track at a drag strip??

    One of our local drag strips built a dirt track and is planning on running on it on test and tune nights and even during some points race. This seems like an incredibly dumb idea to me but does anyone else have any tracks like this around them? BTW for all the drag racers around Ohio...

    Lights out 9 in South Georgia?

    Is anyone going to the first big race of the year? I am about to book my hotel but it is looking like I will be traveling solo.

    Let's breakdown my runs!

    Well you all remember my post from the other day about finally getting back to the track. Well it didn't go so good. First pass I ran a 13.5 at 99 mph with it cutting out on the big end. Went back to the trailer to put my Holley on and the thing was leaking fuel out of the line port. Took it...

    Finally getting back to the track!

    After over a year I am finally going to be taking my dart back to the track. Last years two trips were disappointing with a best of 13.38 and tonight at test and tune I am hoping for some 12s. I also finally got a tach in the car so be ready for a thread asking about my converter on Saturday...

    Drag racing isn't dying!

    [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] I swung by test and tune tonight for the first time in a couple years and was not expecting this crowd. A lot of street cars but I made friends with a guy who had a 03 mustang that was running low twelves at 125! He drove it an hour and a half to the track then...

    Pictures from the track!

    I think a thread of some pictures of other people's cars at the track would be cool. They don't have to be an abody or even a mopar. If you think it's a nice ride then tak a picture and share it. Today was the first day our track was open. It was just test and tune but some nice cars showed...

    Racing season is coming, are you ready?

    One of our local tracks is supposed to open the first weekend of March. My goal this time last year was to have my mustang sold and a truck and trailer ready to go for 2015. I got a little too carried away during the holidays and used a lot of my truck and trailer money on gifts. For the time...

    My friend tracked down his old race car!

    The man responsible for educating me on everything drag racing managed to undue a huge regret. Back in the mid 80s he bought a 72 nova off a old man and turned it into a race car. It was only his second race car and he won a lot of races in it. Had to sell it in 1990 due to having kids. He...

    When to shift?

    I have been thinking about my disappointing 13.6 et. When I make a pass I always just out the car in drive and floor it. I'm not sure of the shift points because I'm not watching the tach. It's a 360/727 combo that has never had the shift points touched. My question is would manually...

    Car ran slower then expected.

    My combo is 360 .30 over Speed pro flat tops Mp .484 cam Eddie heads Performer rpm intake Eddie 650 avs 727 with 3000 stall 8 1/4 3:55 Car turned a 13.6 and was missing at the big end. I'm going to bump the timing down and switch to a Holley but the combo should be in the 12s...

    If all goes to plan my dart will be hitting the track tomorrow for the first time since my motor rebuild. It's a Thursday test and tune then a race called Thursday night lights. Arm drop heads up elimination racing. I have never done it before and honestly I am just using it as an excuse to...

    I was feeling brave!

    So the darts sitting another weekend out and I needed a fix. My daily driver is a 2000 mustang gt that's bone stock. I maned up and drove it 20 miles to the track and put down three passes and drove home. This is the first time I ever raced and drove home and I have to say it feels good. I...

    Breaking in a race engine?

    I rebuilt my motor and it will be about 80% race motor. I did the cam break in but what now? Do I take it for a few spins on the street first or wait for the track?

    Stick shift racers?

    I have always enjoyed watching the stick shift races and am considering doing a stick shift car down the road. My main question is how much more expensive is it then auto stuff and what trans is everyone using?

    Ultra rare slicks!!

    Decided to go ahead and pull the trigger on some slicks tonight. I saw a lot of guys running 26x9x15 so I figured I would order a set of Hoosier qtp. Everyone pair I see though only comes in 9.5? Is this what most guys really run or did they stop making a nine inch slick?

    Opinions on slicks?

    I have been eyeing the Hoosier quick time pro tire for a while now. Does anyone have any experience with these. I have a 400 hp small Block with ss springs and adjustable shocks. I was wondering if I'll Be able to hook on a 9.5 inch tire and if anyone has ever drove these tires on the...

    Wheel hop!

    Last year I had a major issue with wheel hop. I was leaving from idle and if I launched any harder it would spin bad. Currently it has air shocks and stock springs. I was going to switch to ss springs and rancho shocks. I was also considering going to traction bars. Any suggestions? Btw...

    Darts first time to the track!!

    Some of you may remember the thread I started about building a race car back in the spring. I got advised to just see what my dart ran and build from there instead of building another car so I am doing just that. 360 with stock j heads, Eddie 650, Eddie performer rpm intake, headers, mp .484...

    11 sec. build cost?

    After helping a friends dad build a vega for the strip I began wanting to start my own race project. I already have a 73 swinger with a 360 that has all the standard bolt ons like rpm intake, 650 carb, headers, cam, converter, and 8 1/4 with 3.55's. I really do not want to cut up my dart and...
