    Found old photos on a disc, thought I'd share a few cool cars from 1988 Sac Raceway Govn. Cup & Night of fire

    Dave Sullivan brought a Super Stock 340 duster to Seattle division race in mid 90's and ran S/ST 10.90 class with it on the back bumper, had them all scared. LOL

    Back in the 60's Super Stock classes

    It depends on the calendar year. As different cars came out, and others were refactored it was changing a lot year to year.

    Question on NHRA Super Stock & Stock class wedge motors

    You can use non assembly line blocks in stock eliminator. I don't know if any are NHRA accepted for BB mopars. The hot ticket for a fast 305 is a bow tie block, a stock 305 block won't work. Edelbrock heads are approved for a 440+6 There is an aluminum head approved for a 340 but they need...

    Scored an interesting std bore 400 block

    That cleaned up really good! I was just giving you a hard time earlier. You might get it sonic checked and crack checked now. Just so you know your spare under the bench is good, and doesn't turn out to be junk when you need it. I had a block rusted pretty bad, took to a place in Portland...

    Scored an interesting std bore 400 block

    Nice price for a nice block. But it will cost some to get it ready to build. Do you feel bad lowballing a local mopar guy?

    I saw Larry Dixon is running T/F down under

    He had a dragster with an expired NHRA cert sticker on it. The the dragster then got modified into a 2 seater and they left the cert sticker on it. It was on display at at an NHRA event and NHRA saw this and they threw **** fit and banned him from NHRA racing. I don't know of that was a...

    Flying H Dragstrip - Kansas City, Missouri

    Watch the video, the guy says there will be plenty of room in the pits, amd with NGRA limiting the entry’s at nationals should be easy to fit them in. Las vegas limits Stock eliminator to 75 cars for the national, then the next week for the divisional they have 85 cars. A few years ago they...

    Flying H Dragstrip - Kansas City, Missouri

    There was a video on it last summer. A experienced drag strip builder is in charge and they said it would be ready next summer. The Topeka track was closed and they want to pick up that national event. Evidently it was a mining area that was refurbished. I remember when it was for sale and...

    AGM Batteries

    I bought a group 24 AGM. Heavier than a lead acid. Works great! Lots of amperage. And takes a long time of sitting before it needs a charge. Had it 10 years now. Worth it so far.

    Petty's 1968 Textured Paint "Trick"?

    That roof skin look awfully flimsy. 8:24 he is stomping on it, then at 8:50 he is hitting it with an awl and it bounces off. Flexing back to the center of the panel. LOL

    Help needed to get car to mid 11's

    For anyone interested in NHRA altutie correction factors, here is their page. It’s a constant hard number, not subject to change. 2020 was the last time Tucson had a NHRA division race, so I used the most recent numbers. Please notice there are no altitude adjusted tracks east of El Paso Tx...

    Help needed to get car to mid 11's

    I brought this up so the man will understand that 11.50 isn’t 11.50 at Tucson. Just being there makes it slower, before you figure your weather. Density altitude is a lot different than running at 2500 ft. elevation. Try it and then you will believe it. Ps your calculator tells you density...

    Help needed to get car to mid 11's

    Well ok then LOL. the math doesn’t lie Take 11.50 X .970 and you tell me. Hey you figure it out and satisfy yourself, just trying to tell ya that altitude is a real thing out west, you flat landers don’t deal with it.

    Help needed to get car to mid 11's

    Keep in mind that is Tucson is an altitude adjust track with the elevation of 2490 ft. so 11.50 is more like 11.15. Of course I can’t find the NHRA page on this so I figured it another way. 28x9 is a good size, with 3.9 or 4.10 gears. You could go a bit wider on a Charger. I use MT ET...

    Help needed to get car to mid 11's

    Will need slicks, shorter the better with 3.54 gears. Bit taller tires hook better. A drag tune on your fuel system will help. Then go run the car and weigh it. Maybe a low gear set in the trans if your refuse to go 4.10 gears. 455’s have plenty of torque, gets the weight moving nicely.
