    Good bye Firebird Drag Strip!

    Firebird drag strip reprieve from closure with a 5 year renewal contract! Was at the NRRA Top Fuel a few weekends ago! So happy and it said a lot to have happened! Hope more reopen but I won’t hold my breath.

    Good bye Firebird Drag Strip!

    Maybe if we had more legal little guy tracks and some more clubs kids would have a place to **** off at and not in the streets.

    Good bye Firebird Drag Strip!

    Yup and I live in Chandler. I can hear the Top Fuel cars from my house. But not no more…. I don't if the whole complex is closing or just the strip. But if they are planning a big hotel and casino it’s all probably going away. I watched the road coarse and seen the race school there. Motorcycle...

    Good bye Firebird Drag Strip!

    Historical landmarks would simply get plowed down when real estate folks see green. You would think it’s in NHRA’s best interest to help but I guess they are happy with all the money they are making and can’t see or just don’t care about the ship sinking.

    Good bye Firebird Drag Strip!

    Yup I agree. It’s all about money. Developers and real estate folks control the city. Nothing we can do. I also see the same thing with all the shooting ranges! Not just here but in many states I’ve lived in. They were operating for many years and the city encroached on them and developers and...

    Good bye Firebird Drag Strip!

    Last NHRA Top Fuel Nats race in Phoenix ………. Was lucky to get in as they were sold out! Didn’t realize until I was standing in line. Guy behind me had a ticket and I got in! So sorry the strip is closing. We have so few now here in the US. I am not sure but I believe this is the only one in the...

    A little Coronet love

    F8 is dark metallic green right? That engine bat doesn’t look like dark metallic green to me. Looks like Sublime fj5 maybe fj6

    A little Coronet love

    Is that FJ6? What year? That rear window looks just like mine. I guess mopar reused a lot across models.

    Spark gap and compression/detonation

    So a colder plug doesn’t necessarily prevent detonation or preignition but too hot of a plug will cause one or the other. Makes sense.Thanks!

    Spark gap and compression/detonation

    Gotcha no time relation with respect to gap. So how does a colder plug prevent detonation all things being equal again?

    Spark gap and compression/detonation

    Thanks for the replies guys. All things being equal was to try and examine just the effect of spark gap and detonation. We know that a wider gap will be able to burn a leaner mixture. Does that mean it ignites sooner than a narrower gaped plug? Bob Renton in your comments you mentioned the...

    One Wire Alternator

    The other factor that you need to be aware of is the wiring you have. It must be able to handle the added load current. Here is a quick reference for you:

    engine builder screwed up. Maybe not. Update

    Yes this issue has brought planes down! I had a thread up on this a few weeks ago about the promise in grade school on the imminent conversion promise never delivered. Its frustrating but you'll be fine real soon! At least a rod didn’t fly off! Are you going to check that rod bearing on that wet...
