I should have said when I started this thread that I'm running an auto trans. Sorry to everyone who wasted time talking about locks with manual trans. I think it's obvious to us all that lock out on rears with manual wouldn't be a good way to go, even if you were Fred Astaire, ha... I have...

I'm still undecided but leaning towards putting it on rears. I wonder how nhra techs would react if you told them yes the line lock is on the rear line but not being used to lock-in the rears. It's being used as a lock-out the rears. I bet the rule was written with someone locking-in the rears...

A bud told me he was putting his line-lock on his rear brakes. I said that's not going to work but he explained that it actually works better. You hit the switch without brakes applied and then you will only have front brakes which you can pedal on an off if/as needed during burn-out. Finish...

Thanks, good read. I was thinking that at a hi cost Lloyd’s of London would probably cover on track and looks like they can co-cover with companies like in that article.

Looks like this co insures on track but they're in Canada I think. Not sure that would work for me. Drag Racing & Insurance: Does My Car Insurance Cover Me at the Racetrack? | Surex

Yep. That's where I got that pic from. In Questions- FAQs, Hagerty says "not competitive events.". And they also say time trial events are ok but all on-track coverage is only for "HPDE events", which is a racing school... I still am having trouble believing there is anyone who offers...

Agreed.. I can understand it ok on dune buggys and similar., and I would think Arizona would be a more accepting place for performance vehicles.

Thanks., I saw that and from what I read HPDE stands for Hi Performance Driver Education, a road racing school where you bring your car. And looks like Track Day is timed laps on a road coarse. They also say something about auto-cross. I'm not interested in anything but pure drag racing on a...

I'm sure this has been discussed many times here before but my searches didn't yield anything, plus things change. Let me first tell how this came up again with me.. While building my 68 charger (with an insurable, street legal "roll bar"), I did a good bit of researching on how I could best out...

I found out that almost any muffler shop can bend roll bar tubes, and cheap usually.

I ended up with a Tuff Stuff chrome dual field 100 amp, it connected right to my M/H upgraded engine harness made for dual. No complaints. I switch my radiator e-fans off when I make a pass at the strip to keep the hp draw down.

A very slow 8.7 et at 79mph. I would like to test it on a 1/4 but it has a vibration at about 85mph and up. I want to find and fix that first. Maybe Santa will bring me some aluminum heads and intake for Christmas so I can get some more hp.

Well I went to the strip yesterday. Like I mentioned this is a bone stock 440 and I think it is probably the lowest hp 440 ever produced. It did ok shifting at 5200 but seemed to do a little better shifting a little before that. One main reason I need the tac light is because I don't want to...

I'm running a fairly stock 440 in my 68 charger, headers, 750 brawler carb, 727 trans w/shift kit, 3.91 gears, 30.5" tires. Not sure about the comp ratio on the pistons. It is a mystery motor that I found and nobody knew the history on it. I didn't take the heads or intake off but replaced the...

On my 440 street/strip charger I have a kill switch on my tail panel which kills the battery connection, but as I knew already the alternator keeps the motor running. I think I've heard if I disconnect the wires to the alternator the motor will then quit when the kill switch is turned off. My...

How much do you think a m/t street radial grows at 120mph? Mine are 30in sitting still, what could I expect in growth? Worried about clearance..

Quick.

I'd like to get a bolt on kit for my 68 charger with stock column and grant 3 bolt wheel. Anyone know where to get them? Don't care about horn working or not..

Don't really know yet, just anticipating tight spots from previous header experiences.
