And you guys never thought a 15hp NOS kit would be any fun!!! http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...oCartonNOS.jpg[/img] |
VIDEO ! We need VIDEO of that kart smokin' 'em off ! :D :D :D :D :D |
damn man, i hit the juice once on a bike, aint no way in hello that IM GONNA HIT THE BUTTON ON A KART!!!!!
|
I wish I had some vid. of the go cart. They want let me drive the dam thing. I wish I had never seen it in the back of the shop at Compucar. I'll get my hands on it one day!! :twisted:
Some updated pics of my ride. Still waiting on the motor. Had to replace all the valve guides and I don't just mean just the guides themself. (they were moving in the heads) The area around my guides has been ported so much that most of the valve guide was showing through. Had to grind it all out and weld it up then put in new guides. http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...WheelieBar.jpg http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...eeliebarII.jpg http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...earbottles.jpg Small timers up front for 2nd and 3rd stage. 1st stage is on my transbrake. New switch panel on right side for all my nos switches and digital 7 programmer (prog. has always been there ) I just added the side to it for more switches. http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...548/Dash-1.jpg Heads. Roughed in. http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...alveguides.jpg http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...alveguides.jpg |
Not mine. It belongs to a friend. I thought ( Mopar) Mark would like it. It's a Mopar with about 3,800hp. You can't see it good, but the name on the side is Mark (Lee).

Finally getting somewhere with the updated motor.
It's on the dyno tonight and I can't wait to get it back. Hey Beast. I think you and I talked about this on the phone one night. Nitrous is like crack. You hit it once then you can get enough!! Motor should still be 1,200hp + 3 stages for a total of 950hp of nitrous. I'm not gonna be able to run all three stages until I make some passes and figure out the gear and convertor. I really don't think the convertor I have now will hold all 3 stages. Motor is still in Tx so I'm cutting it really close to having the truck ready for the 23rd. I'm gonna try as hard as I can! http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t.../IMG951990.jpg http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...MG950353-1.jpg http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t.../IMG950591.jpg |
Looks awesome Rabbit. Hope you get it back in time to make that race. Is that the one that bjuice is going to make a pass in it?

He's gonna drive it if I can get it back in time. I thought I would have gotten it a couple weeks ago. I don't have a converter to run all 3 stages yet. I'm gonna have to make a few passes with it so I can figure out what gear and converter I need. I'm hoping to be able to run at least 2 stages before the day is over. I hope to let BJ make a motor pass if nothing else. Only bad thing is it's to high geared and too tight of a converter to run really good on motor, but that'll be perfect for his first pass. Were gonna cook a low country boil so I hope he like to eat! Wish some of you guys were closer and could make it too. I've got a race in Transfer, PA. on August 25. That's still about 6hrs from your part of MI though. |

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...8/TheShark.jpg Now that's cool :!: I would like to drive that just one time :!: :!: Mark |
A friend of mine from Ms drives this for another guy from La. that bought it a few months ago
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...RaginCajun.jpg You guys gotta post some more stuff in here. |
You guys have some very nice looking rides. Here are some picks of the car I am getting ready for my son to race young guns at a local dirt track. He outgrew his quarter midget and this was the next step that made the most sence since there are 2 dirt tracks with in 15 min of where I live.
http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m...s_picture5.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m...s_picture4.jpg http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m...s_picture1.jpg I have removed the windshield and still need to get the dash out. |
Looks like a fun car to advance into the full size stuff ! I'd like to make one safety related suggestion though. That lap belt is waaaaay too long. It will stretch a good 4 inches in a hard frontal impact. You want your son to be strapped in TIGHT, so I've included the below pics showing how i set up MY race cars and any I build for others. Those lap and shoulder belts need to be as short as feasibly possible. You also want to install some sort of protection on ANY metal edging that the webbing will pass through or by to prevent chaffing/cutting.
Your #1 top most PRIORITY is the safety of your driver in ANY type of incident. GOOD to EXCELLENT safety gear from his nose to his toes ! http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/e...D/IMG_0032.jpg http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/e...D/IMG_1991.jpg |
Thanks for the tip. I did not install those and they need to be replaced anyway. I am all about my son being safe. He had been knocked out in his quarter midget when he hit the wall flat out. Right after that I went out and bought him a Hans type neck brace. When I go to put in new belts before we race I will figure out what I can do to set them up better, something like in your picks.

Not a race vehicle to show off, but a new ( to me) truck .
After several years of trying to figure out which way to go, toterhome or living quarters trailer I finally bit the bullet today and started the plan to go with a living quarters trailer. My 2500 wasn't gonna be up to the task of handling the trailer I wanted (plus it has 245,000 miles) so I bought a new addition to the family today. It could't let them have my 2500 so I kept it for my every day driver and work truck so I can keep the miles off the dually. Not to mention I don't think I'd like driving the dually every day. I've looked at hundreds of trucks over the last 6 months and finally found a really good deal at a Toyota dealership in Columbia SC. It's still there and I'll get it in a few days. I even got a heck of a deal on an 24 month or 24,000 mile extended bumper to bumper warranty including electrical for $500. Deductible is only $100 per claim. I thought it was well worth it for a diesel 4x4 truck. Now I gotta save my pennies up to buy a trailer later this year. Here it is 2008 3500HD 4x4 with 82,000 miles. Complete turbo back exhaust, def delete, a programmer and a 70 gallon fuel tank / tool box in the works. :wink: That's my 2500 sitting beside it. I love that truck probably to much http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...pse651e081.jpg http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...psef99e325.jpg |
Very nice hauler,been looking for the same type of deal because my 98 Silverado has 311,000 kms on it and I do a lot of mountain driving to get to the tracks.

1 - If it is then I got ripped 'cause if you slide that decimal point to the left one notch & made it a comma, you'd start to get close to what I gave for it LOL. 2 - They did a hell of a job getting the smell out of it! :shock: |

Joey Kacal's new ride Bounty Hunter. It's at the MRA's first race of 2013 which is in Negreet La. this weekend. I'm not there, I'm at home working to get ready for the April 13 race here in Ga.
Joey's car last year was one of the baddest on the planet and was only 2 seasons old. I'm sure this one will be a serious ride as well. It's 150" wheelbase. Almost all rails are built 150" because that's the max the rules allow. http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps43e345a2.jpg |
That is a WICKED ride. What would the HP be on that thing???
