    FINALLY the light at the end of the tunnel I think!

    I've got the car consistently running low 9.50's now. Finally getting my 60 ft. to where Im happy. Went 1.29 last Saturday. Still have a bunch of racing to do this year. Hopefully going to make some tweaks over the winter and get this thing a little quicker. Pretty happy with the 1.29...

    Picked up this '77 beauty last week

    I know it's not a b-body, but maybe Ill put a hitch on my 64 Belvedere and take her camping... My father had one of these when I was a kid and took us camping when he could. Lot's of great memories. I've been looking for one for about 3 years and finally found a nice one. It was 800 miles away...

    Indy results, frustration

    I don't understand these tracks with their prep. Thankfully most of the tracks I go to are consistently prepped. 2 that I visit are hit or miss. They prepped ok for a big event and other times it's marginal at best. Very frustrating.

    2 step with footbrake automatic

    Im wanting to install a 2 step in my car. I footbrake a 727 reverse pattern with Cheetah shifter. I was originally thinking about a button on far right of brake pedal but didn't want to accidentally hit it at the end of the track. I don't want a button on the steering wheel because that would be...

    Tire spin

    From what I've seen you should use monoleaf spring with caltracs. Use a minimum of 3 way adjustable shocks. Ss springs don't work with caltracs. My GTX was almost 3700lbs. I went high 1.50's 60 ft. , 11.18@ 121 with HD springs, mt et drags and 4500 converter.

    Pro Bracket Radials vs. Bias slicks

    I've heard similar results with a tenth quicker and not as consistent on a marginal prep. I've never really had much trouble hooking with slicks on an assortment of different tracks. I suppose if you're after a number on a good track the radial are a good bet.

    Pro Bracket Radials vs. Bias slicks

    Anyone have a good comparison on PBR vs slicks? Im going to need new tires soon and Im contemplating a switch. I run 31 10.5 15 slicks now but looks like they only make a 29.5 10.5 15 in radials. Car is 3160 with 4.56 gears. I run the 31's now to keep trap rpm to 7500.
