I agree.

Working on making the Car & Effort a lil better from this years schooling.

For us it's about bottom bulb No-E bracket racing. Here at LVMS we race 1/4 mile normally. But the biggest bracket race of the year is here at LVMS, The Spring Fling 4/11-4/15/17. They race 1/8 mile so we are focusing on that set-up. Lost a motor just before last years race and missed out, so were laying low and getting ready for this years race.

Looking at adding header flaps to keep rocks out. Seen some the diesel guys use for their stacks to keep out rain thats nice with the rubber. I do not want to here the clatter.
I'm thinking of just putting a beveled piece inside the collector with a couple ears bent on it. Run a long bolt across the top of the collector from side to side to swing it on.

Thanks

Also changing out our rubber radiator hoses, ones 4' long the other a total of 5' long now.
I'm looking at adding 2' to each side by flipping the Radiator and switching to metal lines to help dissipate heat. Possibly?
Having water in metal lines instead of rubber hose in front of the driver and back tires seems to make sense also.

Liking something like this. With our 174" triple slip joint chassis that likes being free.

What are some of you Boys using?

Thanks

New posts have been a little slow lately, but I would chalk that up to Christmas coming.

New members have been flowing in, we are now at 837 members, I once said that if we got to a 1,000 members I would put together a shirt for the forum, it does look like we might get there, and I am going to have to start thinking about it.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

We have a ways to go yet and I tend to move slow on these things.

I will, just do not know how soon.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Going through the trans and engine. Glide good. Sbc Engine not so much. Found out the fellow(i'll use that loosely) i bought it from put 10 thou bearings on a 20 thou crank. Right on the crank its stamped 10 mains and 20 throws. He used 10 bearings on both. 3 bearings were starting to turn! the little tabs were pounded out and starting to rotate. Glad i took it apart. machining done and good to go lol. besides that, just trying to stay warm ha ha. -25c here the last week(-4f) without the wind chill. anyways merry xmas everyone!
