    Hard to believe the price difference

    Could be the new price on new pistons verses the old batch of pistons that are still around… Looks about right with todays inflation..

    Street Racing Confession(s)

    This thread got me thinking and I wondered if a google search on You tube of Pottstown/422/Stowe etc would pick anything up then I did a Pottstown Road Runner search and low & behold.. First race. I raced this guy on motor, my car ran 11.50's on motor.. Car racing behind me was a tubbed Big...

    Street Racing Confession(s)

    When I was younger Street racing here was a big thing.. High Street in Pottstown which is a **** hole now was a great place to cruise and then race early in the AM.. Had the 1/4 mile marked off at a few places on RT422. With MapleGrove Raceway near by any Big Ford or Chevy show brought them down...

    Towing on an open trailer. In neutral or in park even though it is strapped down? What say ye?

    Well then it would be damaged like when you tow with your straps in line… Seriously never had that problem in 35 years. I never had one come loose. If you know what you are doing and use quality straps it’s way safer than having your car hop sideways when leaving the straps in line which is very...

    Atlanta dragway…

    Well everyone knew it was closed and sold… Reality hits when they actually start tearing it down… Sad to see another one officially gone. Thankfully Koretsky’s bought Maplegrove Raceway here in Pa. to keep it open and improve it… They are even going to try and have a New Year’s Eve race for the...

    Towing on an open trailer. In neutral or in park even though it is strapped down? What say ye?

    There is no torque on the load from all angles. There is no equal forces pulling forward, back and left to right like when crossed. Only forward and back allowing the load to shift right to left. That is the kind of damage I have seen multiple times from inline straps as there is no strength to...

    Towing on an open trailer. In neutral or in park even though it is strapped down? What say ye?

    Saw way to much damage over the years at race tracks and shows from in line strapping. If you use junk to strap your car down anything is bound to happen and if you don’t know where to strap that is even worse.. I have never broken a strap or D ring in over 35 years of towing cars and equipment...

    Towing on an open trailer. In neutral or in park even though it is strapped down? What say ye?

    Never with straps in line either, always crossed. Reason is I have seen many cars bounce over and end up riding the trailer fenders on the doors and rockers once they got to where they were going…

    Towing on an open trailer. In neutral or in park even though it is strapped down? What say ye?

    Never in nuetral… Years back had a friend of mine do what I did while waiting in line to get my car teched in. it was a busy night so I unstrapped my car on the trailer as they were busy and teching in as you arrived… Well needless to say he forgot and pulled forward and the car rolled off the...

    Blown 64 Chrysler 300 K drag car

    There was 500 inch 5 speed 300 that ran around down this way years ago. Think it was red/burgundy, it was a 9 second car and had the factory swivel bucket seat still in it... It was so violent at times he usually launched it in 2nd gear...

    1964 Dodge Polara seat belt upgrade

    If using stock seats I know back in the day one tech wanted me to bolt through the seat to the bar since they did not "lock".. I did not do that.. Another tech came along and agreed with me as the five point harness keeps me in the seat and the seat to the bar...

    Not Understanding No Prep

    Has nothing to do with increasing chances of an accident for the fans that happens on tracks regularly... It imitates REAL street racing conditions in a legal environment where the smartest guy could win verses the "fastest" guy with the most money..

    "Occasional" Nitrous 150-300HP...What do Engine Builders/Nitrous Racers do to prep a build?

    They have controllers to do this so no need to have timing set-up for a "Nitrous only pass"... I had a timing retard box on mine activated by a switch when the nitrous was powered... No concerns..
