How have any of you guys done racing so far this season?
 

Lets try and post often on weekly races. Then at least we will have something to talk about.

Here I'll make first post. Haven't been out yet. Car is pretty much back together. Need to paint deck lid attach spoiler, change oil then I think I'm ready to make some test passes.

Well I am one step closer to getting on the track. I picked up my car from Ohio earlier this month. lol

Not very good, trans broke on a motor pass of all things. It went 9.19 at 139 and drove it back to the trailer and went to pull it up for second round of qualifing and the car would not move. I was not prepared to have to spend money on a trans so i hope the spare holds up.


Still trying to gets some pictures posted!

Good luck to all!

DD is that a monte carlo nose? nice car

1st week got 3rd place in No E

3rd week I got 1st place money in No E Quick.. Car is running a little quicker since I went to a smaller tire.

Big Race coming up this weekend. Hopefully things will go well.

Been out a couple times still tuning my alcohol change over, Getting closer everytime :!:

Went out to the first points race earlier this month. Car ran pretty good low 9.60s all weekend. Double entered both days. Good car bad driver. LoL going for the second points race this weekend hoping for better results.

Hey Sam, Yes it's a plastic circle track nose for an MC, and narrowed 4 inches. Has the same shape as the stock ''78 Challenger/Sapporo (Mitsibushi Mopar)
Looking to get a custom Graffiti artist paint job with a bio-mechanical theme, all in semi gloss/flat paints done with rattle cans.
:shock: :shock: :D :D :D :D :D

nice dd

Haven't raced much, but did manage to tear just about everything but the motor few weeks ago. Got it all fixed and FINALLY got my nos on. Gonna race tomorrow night and hopefully make a nos test pass or two.

Well good luck this weekend guys and gals. Report back with the results. Was hoping to get out tomorrow but the weather looks like rain. :(

Storms just blew threw here an hour or so ago. Hope we don't get anymore, our second points race is tomorrow. Good luck to everyone.

Still not so good so far. My trans brake isn't working. The solenoid is working, but it want hold when I push the gas. May have something to do with breaking the imput shaft the other week. IDK didly about transmission. Either it works or it does't and right now "it doesn't" so I'm gonna pull it tomorrow and send it and the converter off for repair. Still haven't been able to test the nos yet. :cry:

A pressure issue, something in a passage in the valve body is my guess.

That's what I'm thinking. It doesn't back up on the brake, runs and it shifts fine, the brake just want hold.
Pulling it out tonight and sending it and the converter to Alan Pope. I'll let you know what he finds.

And drilling holes in the helment tomorrow. No jets, just staright nos from the hose, Full strength! :shock:

Well had a pretty good time sunday testing spare trans. The car slowed down with spare trans and converter. I only had a 3800 stall to put in were i had 5500 before, I sent out 5500 to get flushed out and check cant wait to get back.

I got called out by some bro's and the race was on i had to take off my wheelly bars and run heads up pro tree. As they allways do he pulled both bulbs before i got a chance to prestage. I just took my time rolling in making him wait and hell he just tried to get the jump and pulled the get big red mator. The money was good. I dont know if i had them covered as they seen my motor pass and the next on the spray. The race was for everything turned on spray for spray well hell ya just my kind of race. He got out three cars and i was surprised that i pulled on him up to 600ft and then he lifted. I had a good time with some friends that have never been before.

We did end up getting rained out the 23rd. Good thing for me. Pulled my rearend to put a new yoke on so I can get my data recorder on. When we pulled the cover off it had 7 broken or cracked teeth. The broken ones looked fresh. Could have been really bad and taken the tranny with it. :shock: :shock: :shock: Have the new parts on the way. Should be ready for the race on the 15th.

Curtis

Went testing on 4/30. Trying out the changes: Heads ported, new cam, bigger carb, and new headers. Had problems with the carb on the first two passes, lifted at 1000' and coasted to a 9.28@ 140. Put my old carb back on then my crank trigger started acting up. Wouldn't rev past 6500 and went 9.17@ 145. I'm pretty sure getting the rpm's up to 7400 it would be 9.0's maybe even better.
All said I'm happy with the results. :D

Not too good this past weekend, Can't seem to get off the redlight's, :oops: :oops: Since switching to alky injection it responds alot quicker :!:


Mark

Finally made it out last weekend. Got about 35 pounds off the car and the new motor in the dragster is running solid. It was 4.762 to the 1/8 and 7.501 to the 1/4. Really right were I want to be 1/4 mile so no -15 suit is required.

The S-10 was a bit surprising. I was figuring the 11.30-.11.40 range but when the dust settled it was 6.80 to the 1/8 and 10.72 to the 1/4. The 4.10 gear and 1.76 glide combo is perfect for the small tire. It doesn't lift a wheel and is 1.52 to the 60'. This was a budget build.

Here is from this past weekend :)
