Ratchet shifter or Gated shifter and why? Additional if you feel stongly: Exactly which model? GO!

Figured I’d chronicle this build here. Hopefully a good opportunity to discuss what goes into a decent 727 build, share and learn some tips, and discuss others builds as well. I could also probably use some help here & there. I’ve been a footbrake guy for years. And the 727 in the yellow car...

Simply posting to share the latest investments in the LemonWedge program. After not winning a race for (2) years running now, I’ve realized that to compete in today’s bracket racing world, I must evolve. I’ve been competitive, but at the same time it’s become evident that the gap between the...

Got the season started tonight with a quick Wednesday night TnT session, and it was an interesting one. I had the feeling at the end of last year the the car was running just a little on the lean side. Added an AFR guage over the off season, but the Bosch sensor went out after only a minute or...

I saw an ad for a somewhat rusty looking Chrysler 400 block near me yesterday so I went to look at it. Bores measured roughly 4.338 with a pair of calipers in a bore with a decent amount of “surface rust”, so std bore is my thought. There was no issues in the bores other than the surface rust...

a week ago we had a Friday - Saturday pair of races at Pacific Raceway. 1st hit Friday I accidentally left with the shifter in 2 after the burnout. Just as I realized what I had done and backed out of the throttle, a bad sound erupted and I quickly shut it down. Since I had made the driver...

I‘m happy to report that I‘ve decided on a path for a refresh of the LemonWedge bullet that will hopefully take place this coming off-season. This will be a budget friendly deal, but should still yield some strong results. The current 452” 400 will be stroked to 471 (4.382 x 3.915). Ill be...

I entered two classes today, Pro & SuperPro. Got whacked by a young gun in round 2 of Pro, but was able to gather up the pieces and string together 6 rounds in SuperPro! Wading into the deep waters of 7 second, 160+ mph dragsters loaded with delay boxes, starting line enhancers, and throttle...

Can someone explain to me how a rear wheel drive Chevy cobalt with a small block or LS combo has a home in NHRA superstock, but a 451-powered Dodge or Plymouth B-Body does not?

Ive been pretty busy and staying away from media recently, but I wanted to share my day from a couple of weeks ago. A good buddy and I had a great day at the GoodGuys Northwest Drags. Mike is a friend that has an absolutely SICK ‘69 Camaro. This thing is set up! I call it “The Unfair...

I have a race this coming Saturday, and the weather report says 100*. What do you guys do or use to prepare, stay cool, stay hydrated, and keep the car running correctly in severe conditions?

We had a great day at Pacific Raceways this past weekend! Things didn’t start too well as my lights were all over the place in my (2) time runs. I swapped sides from .050 red to .064 green, and started wondering about my new heart meds and how they may be effecting me. But I was able to stay...

Hi all. Mods please leave this here as even though it’s not directly race related, I’m intending to speak to my compadres that hang out here. I had a horrible day on Monday, one I’m still not sure I believe. Woke up at midnight with what I thought was indigestion. It quickly became horribly...

I was at the track today hanging with a buddy between rounds when the owner of our race series title sponsor came and found me. Rob Gillette is the owner of A-Street Automotive, a full service auto repair shop in Auburn WA. They are a new sponsor for our ET series this year, and Rob has been...

NEVER AGAIN!!!!! I normally do business with Summit. I found some items at Jegs that I liked, so I figured I’d check them out, and threw an order their way. OMG! One order turned into 5 different shipments, three back orders. Nothing has arrived yet (ordered 3 days ago). Tracking says...

In another thread, One of our members suggested we start a thread about good race-trailer mods / additions. I thought it was a great Idea, so here we go.... what have you done or seen someone else do that made sense?

I’ve been towing the Satellite with an older 16’ open for a few years. Recently, Ive been looking for a good used enclosed trailer but have not run across much at all, and what I have seen is priced literally the same as new. So I stopped in to look at some new hardware Thursday, and...

I’m looking at Fuel cells, and have a few questions: 1. Is it possible to run the factory fuel gauge in my 67Satellite From a fuel cell sending unit. 2. I see differing opinions of foam filled vs. no foam. What’s the straight scoop? 3. For a bracket car that sees a little street time, is...

Embarking on some changes, and LemonWedge will become a little more of a real racecar over the winter. Last race of this past season I broke something in the Calvert suspension. So I figure as long as I have to take it apart, I might as well make some improvements; and this will be a big step...

Calvert contacted me a while back and told me they wanted to use my car in an ad they would be circulating in magazines. I thought it was pretty cool, but never actually saw the ad. This weekend a racer at Pacific Raceways walked up and handed me a copy of the March “Fastest Streetcar” mag...
