i just made a coment about how cool it would be to have big payout events like the $10,000 index race somebody was talking about, that was an index race not a grudge race, i went to 4 out of town events this year what are you talking about, sorry i don't have extra 500-600 dollars just for disel and hotels why you so worried about me on christmas day? shouldn't you be doing something else like loving and shit instead of hating. merry christmas

Mark, there was this thing invented called a period.The comma is also known to help people understand what you're trying to say. Paragraphs can also help you organize thoughts and make your post understandable to readers. If you would like to arrange a racing engagement with Javier then I'm sure he would be more than happy to set this up. Javier will beat you in a contest of acceleration. I will put this into terms that you can understand," that damn secret agent will fuck you up and gap your ass and take all your damn cheeseburgers. Nut up or shut up bitch"

Nitrous Express
To all Speed Tech customers,

As many of you already know, Speed Tech Nitrous recently closed its doors. Although Speed Tech was a competitor, we at NX were saddened to hear of their demise.

Recently we have received several calls from Speed Tech customers needing technical advice and parts. Nitrous Express built its business and reputation on excellent customer service and to this end we would like to offer former Speed Tech customers free tech help, low cost replacement parts and repair services for their Speed Tech products.

Effective immediately, NX will provide no charge technical help and will perform low cost service work for Speed Tech products. Speed Tech customers can simply call the normal NX tech line at 940-767-7694 for tech help, parts, or service.

Speed Tech customers who would like service work performed should send their products, freight prepaid, to the address below:

Nitrous Express
ATTN: Service Department
5411 Seymour Hwy.
Wichita Falls, TX 76310

Please include a note that contains your name, address, phone number and a description of the service work desired.

Well, name ONE racer that wins with that BS answer against a combo with 3 or 4 standard direct port kits? Clearly, you do not know SHIT about going fast or getting a car down a track. Multi kits allows the car to transition without shocking the chassis. So I guess your saying NX kits are so good that not only does it add HP but it is also a chassis in a bottle! Again, your an idiot and should keep using NX so all of us who know how to go fast can keep taking your money chump!

There is a guy in Dickinson that has all that for a 331 and a turbo as well. I don't think he will ever do anything with it so I will see if he wants to sell it. I think he has a 95 Mustang for it as well.

Subject: got a 99 dodge dakota with a 4cyl std trans. is it possible for it to jump out of gear and grind like you missed a shift. it does it after you let out on the clutch and the truck starts rolling. it moves a few feet then starts making a striiped gear sound. also it is hard to put in reverse. does this sound like it needs a clutch or is trans messed up.

evidently it is possible if it is happening. But seriously if you pull it out to fix the transmission (which is part of the problem) why not replace the clutch also while you are there. Do it once and then forget it.

JEFF WORKS PRETTY DAMN HARD- AS HARD AND PROBABLY HARDER THAN ANYONE THAT READS THE GOSSIP.

I GUESS ONE REASON I GET OUT MY SUNDAY- MONDAY MORNING REPORTS BY 6AM IS SOMETHING I REMEMBER FOR 3 OR 4 YEARS AGO.

JEFF TOLD ME HE WAS IN THE SHOP BY 6AM AND GETS HIS CUP OF COFFEE AND FIRES UP THE GOSSIP PAGE BY 6:30AM TO CHECK AND SEE WHATS NEW. I DON'T KNOW IF HE STILL READS THE GOSSIP OR NOT BUT JEFF HAS HIS OWN BUSINESS AND IS AT WORK BY 6AM!!~

I BET A LOT OF US AIN'T EVEN OUT OF BED YET, JEFF IS ALREADY AT WORK!~

FAST FORWARD TO HIS NEW ADRL PROMOD PROJECT. I SEEN JEFF SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AT HMP WALKING AROUND IN HIS DRIVING SUIT. DAMN I THINK HIS DRIVING SUIT WAS HOLDING HIM UPRIGHT.

IT LOOKED LIKE JEFF HAS LOST TOO MUCH WEIGHT, I WAS WORRIED ABOUT HIM. I DON'T MIND HIM BEING SKINNY BUT IF IT'S THE ADRL QUEST TAKING A TOLL ON HIM- IT AIN'T WORTH IT.

YOU AIN'T MET A MORE SERIOUS PERSON TILL YOU MET JEFF,-JEFF PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP YOUR HEALTH, WE GONNA NEED YOU AROUND FOR A LONG TIME. PEOPLE WON'T REMEMBER YOU WON A CHAMPIONSHIP WAY BACK WHEN BUT THEY WILL REMEMBER YOU AS A PERSON.

WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR LABOR AS YOUR ONLY MEANS OF SUPPORT AND I MEAN FAMILY SUPPORT ALSO. YOUR AT THE MERCY OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND. THE BETTER YOU ARE AT THE SKILL YOU HAVE THE MORE PENITENTIAL YOU HAVE FOR DEMAND AND MORE PAY.

WHEN I WAS IN BUSINESS AND WORK WAS SLOW THE PRICES WERE PRETTY MUCH BARE MINIMUM TO SURVIVE. AS WORKED PICKED UP AND I GOT BEHIND THE PRICES WOULD GO UP TO HELP EASE THE WORK LOAD.

THERE AIN'T NOTHING WRONG WITH A MAN CHARGING WHATEVER THE MARKET WILL BEAR FOR HIS WORK.

IN JEFF'S BUSINESS HE CAN ONLY BUILD SO MANY ENGINES A YEAR. WE HERE LOCALLY ARE COMPETING WITH PEOPLE ALL OVER THE USA. THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD THAT CAN AFFORD THE BEST- NO HARM IN THAT AT ALL. JEFF DIDN'T SET HIS PRICES THE MARKET DID.

IT IS UNFAIR TO BEGRUDGE A PERSON JUST BECAUSE ONE CANNOT AFFORD THEIR SERVICES.............

OVER THE YEARS I HAVE HEARD IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN... JEFF WILL HELP ANYBODY. IF YOUR A RACER AND TRULY RACE, I KNOW JEFF HAS DROPPED WHAT HE WAS DOING AND TRY AND GET YOU GOING AGAIN AND SOMETIMES FOR NO CHARGE.

WHY DID I WRITE ALL THIS?? BECAUSE THE GUY HAS ABOUT WORKED HISSELF TO DEATH AND DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE BASHED ABOUT FORGETTING WHERE HE CAME FROM- HE HASN'T.

OR I COULD BE ALL WRONG AND HE IS SKINNY BECAUSE HIS IDOL BILLY GLIDDEN IS, LOL....

IT'S NOT ABOUT RACING ANYMORE- IT'S ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT

GRUDGE RACERS ARE NOT PAID ANYTHING BY THE TRACK. THEY MAKE THEIR OWN PURSES. SPECTATORS ARE ENTERTAINED BY JUST THE CHANCE THERE MIGHT BE A GRUDGE RACE. SPECTATORS MAY COME OUT 2 OR 3 WEEKEND IN A ROW AND NO GRUDGE RACING- THEN BAM, JUST THE GRUDGE RACING THEY WANTED TO SEE.

GRUDGE FANS USE SUNDAY NITE AS A SOCIAL GATHERING- A PLACE TO GO DRINK BEER AND TALK SMACK WITH FRIENDS, HEY IF A RACE BRAKES OUT WELL THAT IS A BONUS!!

THE INDEX RACERS WANT TO BE PAID- THE PURSE GOT CUT BACK AND THE RACERS QUIT COMING AND BITCHED ABOUT LOW PAY. INDEX DOES NOT DRAW SPECTATORS. THE TRACK CANNOT DRAW SPECTATORS AND TAKE THAT MONEY AND PAY FOR INDEX THAT THE SPECTATORS DON'T COME TO SEE. THE TRACK IS NOT IN BUSINESS TO BREAK EVEN, IT'S A FOR PROFIT BUSINESS.

NOW THE TRACK WAS GOING TO TRY TO RUN THE INDEX AT A GRUDGE RACE BUT ALL THE INDEX RACERS SAID NO AND DIDNOT SHOW.

THERE IS NO MONEY FOR THE TRACK TO MAKE UNDER THE CURRENT INDEX STRUCTURE. GRUDGE RACING IS CURRENTLY STRUCTURED SO THE TRACK CAN MAKE A PROFIT.

HMP HAS A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT IN THE TRACK, ONE OF THE BEST TRACKS IN THE USA AND THE INDEX GUYS WANT THEM TO BREAK EVEN OR LOOSE MONEY. ECONOMICS JUST WON'T LET THIS HAPPEN.

IF THE INDEX GUYS WOULD BUILD A "STRUCTURE" THAT WOULD ALLOW THE TRACK TO MAKE MONEY INSTEAD OF LOOSE MONEY I BET YOU GUYS WOULD HAVE A PLACE TO RACE.

LETS SEE YOU HAVE A $25,000 CAR AND WILL NOT PAY THE TRACK 60 BUCKS TO USE THEIR MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR FACILITY. yOU WANT THEM TO PAY YOU AND LOOSE MONEY??????????

I always loved drag racing. Years ago I started going to dirt track roundy round racing also. I watched different classes of cars race. Some of these because they were popular in years past thought they should be paid money just to show up. They cried and cried that it took them so much money to drive to the track, so much money to buy fuel for the race car just like it was supposed to be a for profit business. More people started showing up with junk cars, cars that could not even complete 5 laps without breaking down and whinning they were losing money. Boyd Nagele the track owner told them straight up--"Hell watching cars run down I45 is more exciting than watching you guys" Needless to say that class of cars do not run in this area any more. That was the end of their racing. Back in the old days racers promoted their self, Who can forget Jungle Jim Liberman, Jungle Pam, the Snake or the mongoose or Micky Thompson. They showed up to race for their love of racing and (important point here) the money came later. First the excitement and put on a show people want to see. No excitement no fans no money!

Thats where I went wrong.... I need a car that only cost 25,000 then maybe I could afford 60 bucks
Spending 60 bucks to get into the track....
spending 500 bucks on fuel, travel, food etc....
Winning a 300 buck 70/30 split....Priceless
If you put up prize money cars show up, cars show up people show up, people show up track makes money.

WITH 7 0R 8 YEARS NOW- HMP HAS PAID THE BIG BUCKS, HMP HAS WATCHED OTHER TRACKS PAY BIG BUCKS AND WATCH THE EVENTS LOOSE MONEY TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME.

DO YOU THINK THE MANAGEMENT AT HMP, HRP, EVADALE, SAN ANTONIO, SEALY, LUFKIN ECT IS STUPID? THEY HAVE ALL LOST MONEY ON BIG MONEY RACES- THE RACERS AND CROWD DO NOT SHOW. YES YOU MIGHT GET 6 OR 7 EXTRA CARS BUT THAT DOES NOT PAY THE INCREASED PURSE.

THE SPECTATORS PAY THE BILLS, NOT THE RACERS... GUESS WHAT THE SPECTATORS COULD CARE LESS WHAT THE PURSE IS . THEY WON'T COME NO MATTER WHAT THE PAYOUT IS.

IF PAYING BIG BUCKS WOULD MAKE MONEY DON'T YOU THINK THERE WOULD BE SEVERAL BIG MONEY RACES EVER WEEKEND??

BOTTOM LINE NOBODY WILL PAY TO SEE INDEX RACES, LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN--- BOTTOM LINE SPECTATORS WILL NOT PAY TO SEE INDEX, IT IS A BORING SPORT TO NON PARTICIPANTS.

INDEX IS A NEAT HOBBY! EVERYONE CAN GET INVOLVED BUT IT JUST WON'T SELL TO THE PUBLIC. I'M NOT BEING MEAN I'M TELLING YOU FROM A BUSINESS SIDE. THE INDEXERS ARE GREAT PEOPLE, NEVER CAUSE ANY TROUBLE EASY TO ORGANIZE AND PUT ON A GREAT RACE.

HMP HAS A 10 MILLION DOLLAR FACILITY, DRAG STRIP AND CIRCLE TRACK. THE CIRCLE TRACK PACKS THE STANDS WITH SPECTATORS!! DRAG STRIP JUST ABOUT BREAKS EVEN. WHY WOULD HMP TAKE MONEY THEY MAKE AT THE CIRCLE TRACK AND PAY YOU GUYS SO THEY CAN LOOSE MONEY???

I ALREADY SAID CHANGE YOUR INDEX FORMAT MAYBE YOU WOULD GENERATE INTEREST. I ALREADY TRIED AT MY CLOBBERTHONS WITH A DIFFERENT FORMAT- IT WAS KINDA WORKING UNTIL THE INDEXERS BEAT ME BACK INTO THE FAILED SYSTEM THEY WERE USE TO.

IT LOOKS LIKE THIS YEAR YOUR "WHAT'S IN FOR ME ATTITUDE" IS HANDING YOU GUYS NO PLACE TO RACE. YOU WANT MORE MONEY BUT OFFER NOTHING OF INTEREST TO THE SPECTATOR, YOU GIVE THE TRACK AN EVENT THAT WILL NOT SELL.. I TRIED TO TELL EVERYONE WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN... I GIVE UP.

I used to love going to hmp. Went every week. I went because there was something there I didnt see anywhere else. I personally was attracted to the unique and unusual such as Scooby and that big pontiac sprayed to the hilt, who can forget mazdadilla, I think he crashed ever time he ran, or that ford aerostar van pulling the left front wheel. The fast guys like Jeff Nassar, the herzogs etc. To me index racing just sends me to the concession stands.

I just think that the fans that do come out are let down ....I think its become a limited area of entertainment ....what I mean by that is that grudge racing ....its a 2 - 4 man deal ....alway the same people ...the reason why the round d round track has so many in attendance is that the spectators are fans of a particular driver and they are all guaranteed to see their racer go head to head against a varied field of participants ....in drag racing there always has to be an underdog and always a david vs goliath ....thats what packs a house ....even up classes are great ,,,,,total indexing sucks ....but I still think that when you have a winner in one class .....lets say you have a few classes ....lets say a winner of the 6.0 class and then lets say a winner of a 5.0 class .....I say lets match em up at the end .....with an index ...ONLY so they can be even ..... and the winner of that class takes it all ....period ....I would come out to see that one ....so in the long run ....here is how it would be done .....
you have your regular classes .....whatever they are .....lets say for grits and grins you have a 5.0 a 5.50 and a 6.0 class...... you have $$$$ for the tech card ....entry fee whatever it is .....
you have a payout and trophy for the classes .....then you have a big dog shootout at the end .....with all the $$$$ that was the payout for all the the classes up for grabs ....

then you have the index at the end which makes all the cars even.......then whoever wins those races gets all the money ( which then takes care of your big money payout , because in actuality the winner walks with all the moneys vested in the first place for the original payout)
Doesnt cost the track any more money ....and then the winner walks with the big dog trophy and the dollars at the end of the day ....so its an all or nothing kinda thing .....so when you think about it ....it all comes down to the basics .....every one has a chance to win in their index classes ...then at the end all drivers and cars are tested at the end for the big pay off....
and of course the coveted big dog trophy ....another way to think about it is the drivers are no longer competing for their index trophy they are actually racing against everybody at the track .....that they were the best driver at the track that day and that they had the best machine for that day as well .....\
Obviously , there is a down side to all of this and that would be that those that chose to show up ....put in the costs of participating and didnt win ...then they walk away with nothing ....no 2nd place money ,,,nothing nada zip ....well in my opinion 2nd place is noted as you did good but you didnt win .....sorry ...better luck next time ....this program has everything a racer and spectator needs ..... Index classes running head to head ....then at the end ......all winners are matched indexed accordingly then the big final with the big payout ...

how many times do you think a winner of the 6.0 guys can then run against the winner of the 5.0 guys and then let alone have it mean something ....

I dont know what the payouts are any more ....but lets just say it was soemthing like this .....8 car fields 50 dollar entry ...each class payout is 400 and a trophy as not to forget the internet pictures

lets say you have 3 classes ....same entry for all classes .........then you have your three winners running for a total payout of 1200.00 and of course the coveted big dog trophy and major ....did I mention MAJOR bragging rights until the next one ......then as an added bonus at the end of the racing season ....you then could have a big dog run off ......with all the big dogs coming together to see who is really the best ,,,,,,this would of course be in hopes that there would be a multitude of particiapnts which in turn would then reflect a multitude of winners that would do battle at the end of the year .....

anyway ....just my point of view for something new and interesting .......

This may cause some stir .....some may say ...dude youre an idiot ......a dreamer and dont even know what drag racing is all about ....that your not even close to the action and have lost all touch with the current situation ....that may be true ,,,,,, but this I do know .....that change is necessary because this cow that you guys and gals are milking is running dry and that old news is just that ....old news ....that something has to change and flwexibility is key for the hard times ....so say whatever you need to say ....it is as they say what it is ,,,,,, have a nice holiday ...thanks

If you think it has merit .....then do it ....its at the end of the races its the finals of the finals its the big dog shootout ...if you have stuff already in place all it takes is to say ....and by the way we we are doing this at the end .....I dont see what the sponsors have to do with it ,,,,,as a sponsor myself I would like it ....more impact at the end of the races .... I appreciate the support and like that you think it has merit ....so why not be the first out the gate to do it ???
changes always have to start with the first one ....why not let it be you ???

especially when you have it all in place already and all it would be is to say .....lets do it ???

Who told you guys that Index racing is suppose to carry an event. Index racing has not changed, it is a filler for your main event example NHRA people go to see TF & TF funny car, but they still run Super Gas & Super Comp. Pro Mods, TPSA,& Grudge racers need time between passes, that's when Index Racing fills in.

Index will never carry an event on it's own, but that doesn't mean you don't need it. I run the 5.80 class, I bring 10 more people to the track with me. Most cars do bring people with them. It may not fill the stands but it helps.

The idea that fans don't like index racing is not true. Alley cats race they ran a 6.0 class 12 cars one bike. The fans loved it, because they saw side by side racing. Most of the novice fans didn't even know it wasn't all out.

Money is tight on everybody right now, all racing is struggling ; NHRA,IHRA,ADRL,NASCAR,INDY why do you guys think you wouldn't struggle.

You two guys need to work this out. Me & my crew will adjust to any rule changes or what ever you guys come up with, we just what to race.

One more thing, Joe if you think you can have a race with a bunch All Out Classes with no Index class, you are dreaming, this will fall apart very quickly.

Romano has a good point with a true winner for index racing. Change the pro-tree to spot the slower car ie..6.20 to 5.00 , and take away the sand bagging between classes & consolidate money. With that much of a spot you will have to run out the back door. IMO

JUST SO YOU KNOW THE STREET HEADS UP CLASSES ARE NOT MINE. I HAVE NO EVENTS SCHEDULED FOR 2012 RACING SEASON.

I BET YOU ONE THING---> THE NEW STREET CLASSES MAKE AT LEAST AS MUCH MONEY AS THE INDEX CLASSES DID.

IT'S GOING TO TAKE A NEW ATTITUDE FOR RACING TO CONTINUE. SO FAR I DO NOT SEE ONE... KEEP BLAMING ME LIKE YOU GUYS HAVE ALWAYS DONE, THAT'S THE TICKET!!
[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Joe does make some good points. But so does Gary. The fact of the matter is no class that is currently running at HMP will draw new fans or the fans that have left. The tracks have to make money off of a "show", but it's going to take some creativity and actual marketing to come up with a show that will draw. It want be index racing (filler) or these 5 /6 sec street car shows (again filler). Think back to when people would come out to watch a show, what was it, Outlaw 10.5 and Pro Mods. Now that those classes are gone, no more fans. You need something comparable. That doesn't mean that your filler classes can't run. The only reason HMP wouldn't keep running them, is there wasn't enough of them showing up to make a class or pay there own purse. Racers need to just start showing up again, they will be able to race. Strength in numbers.

sorry but im not familiar with the sns series, but from what i understand they dont allow roadsters or dragsters? if you did it would significantly increase your car count. most class racers are family men and women and they have them at the track.i bring anywhere from 7-10 heads with me to every event i attend and 5-6 for testing. on the grudge deal or any racing for that matter, i would certainly approve of a move to saturdays, im an hr and 15 from the facility and just cant make it to any track that opens on a sunday evening then make the drive back home. i tried testing at hmp on fridays but it gets way to out of hand and gets too dangerous for my children after about 930-10, not to mention once u get in the lanes and make a pass your lucky to be able to get ur car back into your pit with 9 hondas blocking ur trailer. this opinion is worth what u paid for it.

Look at "the night the lights went out in Georgia" races put on for the ortc.
They have made money hand over fist.. I was there. Went for the big payouts and bad ass heads up classes.. Indexing isn't my cup of tea, but it's a neich, they had them there. More cars showed up then they exspeced. Instead of 16 car fields they were running 32 and a 64 car field. Need to figure out why Thier program worked and ours isn't. Index is good because the poor man can still have fun, is it fun for me as a fan, honestly no. I don't like seeing a 33x16.5 tube car running a 7.0 seems pointless to me.. When they run I walk the pits.. Just don't find it interesting. I couldn't run tt5 or tpsa don't have cubic dollars. Bit everyone should have a place to race. WE (as in everyone who enjoys dragracing) are losing places to race!!! Everyone wants it there way! Wants to bich about what's wrong but don't want to farther the sport. Soon it will be remember when we could go to the track.. Someone has to stop crying and step up

IMO...this is what you should do...All racers want to win money...helps pay for the racing habit...trophies are nice also ....Its got to be on a saturday early, all day and night...you have all of your classes street,back half,idex,grudge any thing goes no time(its realy a time slot so the can put on a show (let these guys race for free just charge them per head), all on one day the trick is you do it turnament style I meen every class races for entry money plus track adds for each car.(say 20% of purse).you also have an auction on driver/car like a callcutta so fans/racers can bid driver, driver has option to buy half of bid and it pays say 1-8 (say full feild)then split the money down , first 70/30/10 or what ever...the auction is the key to fan iteraction is the auction on drivers third is points for the races and a big wama bama at the end of the year and presto its a alive again...class meatings to be held to vote on the fine print of rules and entry fees and pay scale I say something like 200 bucks per car pay 70-30 first out gets money back..then the big race for all the marbles at the end off the year ...if you win 1st twice you skip 2 races...they realy need structure thats all it takes to make this work...maybe break it down in to class presidents (vote on) at meeting..and then whom ever is in charge of this needs to promote it right radio,internet,restrooms in (man and also famliy enviroment)sat.!! sat.!! sat. sat. sunday has always been family home day for many people.. one big day a month for 10 months then one big race at the end previvious winners from months 1-10.......hmmmmm....maybe let the grudge guys iterupt regular event racing to put on there grudge race.....no more than 2 interupions at a time per sceduled class race.....they must be ready to race and come to fist lane and make a request....

The diffence between Georgia and Houston is basically that there is too much competition for your spectator dollar here in Houston.

Here you have Texans, Rockets, Astros and Dynamo, just to name the biggies. Then you have concerts every weekend of one type or another and every kind of club known to man.

Used to be back in the day, the tracks would advertise on the radio about events coming. Nowadays, there are too many kinds of stations and that makes reaching a broad audience impossible for the amount of dollars the track could afford. There have to be 50 stations in the Houston area that play the music that every kind of race fan might listen to.

It's hard to promote drag racing. Ask Joe or Romano. Roy James, Alley cat, and Horace seem to do pretty well, but they know all the racers and get a lot of free publicity by word of mouth.

I have no answer... I wish I did, I would put on a race a month if I thought it would pay. The tracks and promoters can't do this for free or out of pocket. It takes a lot of time and effort to put on an event, and if it rains, you are out all your expenses for no return. It is a throw of the dice with worse odds than Vegas.

Give the track credit for trying to keep things up and running. They have a HUGE nut to pay every month and they have to make money or close it up. It costs a lot to just throw the gate open with insurance, lights and help. Back in the 70's it cost almost $2500 to open the gate, I have no idea what it is now, but I bet it ain't less.

Be patient with the system, it is trying to stay afloat.

John

Fully CNC ported (ports and chambers) and they come with good components, VJ, etc. $3250 from Jegs complete and you will make 900-1000 hp depending on the rest of your combo. My 10.5:1 565 makes 860 on 93 octane pump gas. RFD (Race Flow Development) also makes a good one for a little more coin. I think they are around $3600 complete. They might be 20-30 hp better than the AFR's.

I've heard a lot more good things about the Brodix heads than the Dart heads. The heads on the motor now are an old Canfield casting. They flow 384 I/ 292 E @ .800 and make around 900 on motor. Several heads I've looked at flow just over 400 on the intake, and less than mine on the exhaust. Will 20 cfm make much of a difference? When looking for a nice nitrous head, is it the more flow the better? What is to big?

Did you apply the gel to the back of the pads. What you are hearing actually MIGHT be a vibration between the pad and the caliper. Some pads have the plate behind the pad some don't. Most of the time the gel with solve this issue. Not sure if that is what your problem is but you can check it.

I don't know if the 1/2 ton has the track bar. I have had one on a Ford Super Duty and on a Dodge as well go bad. I replaced them and all was good. With the "death wobble" you will know it for sure. It will start bucking and won't stop until you slow down. The problem is the bushings in the track arm.

I agree on the brake rotors. One time I had some turned(slightly warped)and the guy didn't tighten the big nut on the bit holder of the brake lathe. It actually made them far worse than they were. The auto parts stepped up and gave me some new rotors.

Hey everybody, its been a while. It seems the kids are more into video games these days so things have been a little slow. When the ratings went down Warner Bros cancelled the show. I kept on fighting the good fight and chasing that fucking roadrunner for a while but I just lost interest after a while. I started drinking and using painkillers and reaaly let myself go. I see the roadrunner every now and again but things just arent the same. Dont get me wrong I still hate that little shithead but I just dont have the motovation to chase him anymore. If any of you make it out to the desert stop bye and say hello. Peace out.

That's kinda a loaded question. If the hard core drag radial guys show up it could go into the high 4s. Maybe that the purse is $500.00 they will not bother. A safe bet would be 5.20-30s for sure.

IMO...this is what you should do...All racers want to win money...helps pay for the racing habit...trophies are nice also ....Its got to be on a saturday early, all day and night...you have all of your classes street,back half,idex,grudge any thing goes no time(its realy a time slot so the can put on a show (let these guys race for free just charge them per head), all on one day the trick is you do it turnament style I meen every class races for entry money plus track adds for each car.(say 20% of purse).you also have an auction on driver/car like a callcutta so fans/racers can bid driver, driver has option to buy half of bid and it pays say 1-8 (say full feild)then split the money down , first 70/30/10 or what ever...the auction is the key to fan iteraction is the auction on drivers third is points for the races and a big wama bama at the end of the year and presto its a alive again...class meatings to be held to vote on the fine print of rules and entry fees and pay scale I say something like 200 bucks per car pay 70-30 first out gets money back..then the big race for all the marbles at the end off the year ...if you win 1st twice you skip 2 races...they realy need structure thats all it takes to make this work...maybe break it down in to class presidents (vote on) at meeting..and then whom ever is in charge of this needs to promote it right radio,internet,restrooms in (man and also famliy enviroment)sat.!! sat.!! sat. sat. sunday has always been family home day for many people.. one big day a month for 10 months then one big race at the end previvious winners from months 1-10.......hmmmmm....maybe let the grudge guys iterupt regular event racing to put on there grudge race.....no more than 2 interupions at a time per sceduled class race.....they must be ready to race and come to fist lane and make a request....
