Then it’s time to break stuff and realize I didn’t need the big inches.
Hehehehehe

So drag cross is a hoot. We have a full sportsman tree. A left course and a right course. Each "pass" is actually a combination of one run on each course. There's a shootout with the top 16 cars, a trophy fpr lowest ET etc. It's straight up, head to head. It's a great time. I just don't trust the truck for something that "rigorous" just yet. I will be up Sunday for the normal event.

I hope to set the crank in CP's block sometime this weekend and get it marked for clearencing.
Takin my girl out tonight. One of the last with this drivetrain! Possibly the last...Man. Great day for cruising in a hot rod. And mine’s in pieces
Somebody that knows their way around a big block could enjoy this

Lot of work done today. Went back to the 2” spacers up front. Installed a new fuel filter, tracked down multiple coolant leaks, greased the entire front end. Figured out why the rear end felt so weird. Apparently one tire at 40 and one at 22 with a locker will do that. All ready for tomorrow’s first event.

Lockers are pretty inconsiderate that way.
Yeah but once you learn to drive them. . . . .DAYUM!
I "might" drive up to Grissom tomorrow, if I do I'll look up a pickup driving gun nut and stop and say hi!
Not too bad. But I would have to point out a few things. First LDR class is limited drag radial which is a heads up class. So with a full on racecar with 580+ cuin why does it only have 3:83 gears? It weighs 2910 and sixty foots 1.18 but only runs 5.16@134 mph...put some dang gear in the car and let her eat son!
At that weight and with 1.18 short times it should be running down in the high 4.70s and on a good radial prep track maybe 4.60s.
That gear lets him get out I can only assume.
Well with the LDR legal drag radials only being a 315/60 series tire it's not very big so he would need to play with the shocks and progressive controller to make it get off the line..which it does fairly well with a 1.18. But the short tire doesn't help the mph at at all. The guys I know that play in LDR run 4:30, 4:56, 4:86 gears. I would think a 4:? gear would help it get into/stay in the power band and run a better number and mph.
That car has some good potential with a little bit of work to run 4.70s like a bracket car. Really its not a bad piece
I can see that is has a lot of potential. Try and build the drive train for the asking price..Nope.
If I was in the market to go racing I would snatch that up, gear it up, put some slicks on it and go back to supper-Pro. We did OK with our a cross over box.
That’s what I’m saying. There’s probly almost $20k in just the engine. Somebody who’s looking for a turnkey racer. That’s a deal right there.
