Ya the more research I do, the more I'm leaning towards a roller.  Thanks for the feedback.

Wanted to buy / Looking for a FED

« on: April 27, 2016, 06:24:09 PM »

I am currently in the market for a FED.  Would like something complete with maybe some minor issues to work out.  I am looking to run in nostalgia eliminator 1 or 2.  Minimum wheelbase of 180".  Would be great if it came with a trailer as well.  Let me know if you have anything or know of anybody selling a FED.

Front Engine Dragsters / Newby with some questions about FED's

« on: April 27, 2016, 06:14:38 PM »

Hey everybody, I'm very excited to be joining everybody racing and enjoying a FED.  I have been hooked on these cars since i was a kid, and finally have the funds saved up to embark on this journey.  I am hoping to race in a nostalgia eliminator class.  I am currently looking at some cars on racingjunk and also if anybody has a car or knows anybody selling one i would definitely be interested.  One of the cars I'm looking at is a 185" wheelbase car that has a 387 cubic inch injected small block.  Says it runs 8.3's in the quarter.  I contacted the owner and he stated that the car has about a 100 passes on it.  They have done basic maintenance but nothing major.  Is that a lot of passes for that engine?  Is it time to go thru it?  When do you guys start going thru your engines?
