while I'm playing dirt track show and tell here's how my season ended this year, go to the 28 second mark, I drive the red car. A sprint...
For a winged car, yeah probably. But a non winged car! Ventura Speedway is about the funnest, most challenging place I've ever dreamed of...
wow,, this is open ended... I'm going to say Brodix 8B block, brodix 18 degree spread port heads, 13.5 mahle pistons, cola super ultralite...
It's a tough one, everytime it's happened, whether it took off or not, it usually was one person who got the ball rolling with an idea, formed a...
On the west coast IMCA type modifieds are the most popular dirt class for a weekly show, and the non winged spec sprints are equal or slightly...
+1 for SPD great people to work with! Excellent quality for the price!
I think this only works for certain tracks, out on the west coast most of our track are very heavy, and if you're not coming to play with 600hp in...
I don't know what the answer is. This subject has been brought up a thousand times, pavement, dirt, on road, oval, offroad, etc. Racing is...
No problem, my Dad's a tv repairman, he has a killer set of tools.
you're gonna run out of travel really quick with only 3" available on a stock spring. Sounds like time to start notching!
if it's the newer reflective plates use a heat gun, Like someone above me said, it'a vinly sticker type coating, get them warm and it comes right...
on my street cars that run leafs I've always set the pinion angle about a half degree down from whatever the output shaft on the transmission is...
from that somehow I got caught up in youtube and ended up at lawnmower tractor pulling?
When I first started circle track racing I didn't have a garage to work on or keep my car in. I did have a 20' land sea cargo container though...
Uhh,, what is that about the 58 second mark???
Anyone know of a sping shop, preferably around the north sf bay area that can de-arch a pair of leaf springs? thanks in advance.
Thanks for the replies everyone! It's for some furniture projects I'm working on that are all going to have a fine ground finish on them. I'll...
here's a pic of the unity that I used on my bike. [IMG]
this is a little off topic, and not for automotive use, but what is the best type of clear coat system to use over bare, freshly ground/welded...
We had one in the highschool metal shop, it sat and sat and sat. I used it once just to try it, but really did not have much purpose since we had...
But he likes to go by "Rusty" it's GM I think, post 1940 I like the hubcap!
Thunderrace: I've never seen any of Roth's cars that used that, maybe someone can throw up some pics? It's probably due to the fact (I'm...
[IMG] [IMG] wsdad, here's a quick little damper description with some dyno plots, if I was at work I could use some better graphs off our dyno...
He listed that has friction damping built into his sway bar design. Which, although I don't like friction dampers it should work okay, and looks...
correct in the fact that the center spring will be doing very little aside from supporting the weight of the vehicle, but two spring are...
yeah, now that I think about it more I can agree with that. A quarter elip spring is not going to act the same way a link would, it would get...
how do you get any camber change on a straight axle? did you mean caster? The only way the camber would change (angle of the hub face to the level...
Don, I can see the front end of your car working based on the fact that you're not putting big lateral loads on the suspension, and like you...
Yeah, at work we saw this on jalopnik early in the week. One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet that really impressed me was the editing of the...
I agree with gotgas, there isn't enough lateral support in the suspension with everything that far out. As far as being able to adjust roll...
