lol, the dragster engine was also out of a caddy. I remember when they started it for the first time. The garage was tiny and when they started the engine there must have been excess alcohol (prob....
Very cool stuff. That's what I miss in todays racing. When I was on a modified crew in the early seventies we took a engine straight from a dragster and gave it a shot. I think they built a pan and...
I'm more in awe of Opperman the more I knew about him. I seen him almost beat up at Flemington because some rednecks didn't like his cross and they wanted him to remove his hat for the evening. I...
If my car was stopped on a dusty dirt track I'd hope it would be white, although it wouldn't be.
One persons opinion of whats pretty is another persons ugly. The crazy designs are the ugliest things...
I haven't been paying a lot of attention, has there been a uptick in burn injuries this year ?
I'm more then happy with todays safety standards and the way racers are protected . I've seen a bunch...
Its easy to tear your stuff up if it aint yours or you got plenty to tear thru. I don't really care bout the hard driving or questionable passes, I do hate when the winner acts like a clown.
Back in...
I hate blankets laid in advance, unless they were my blankets back in the day at Flemington. I used to like them blankets. We had the same seats, first turn top row forever. I never gave it much...
As far as pot if they test for it it proves they are still in the stone age (or not). Why should you test for something that might have been done weeks ago where it could have been completely legal...
Wings disgust me. That however doesn't mean wings are a crutch or that winged drivers are less talented as a whole. winged drivers however dont race true traditional sprintcars, they race more of a...
And the concern came from having to much explosive power. I believe it was said that the car had insane power and rev AFTER he took his foot off the throttle. From what I read he stated the car had...
Most of us try not to. To a true wingless fan ( fan being short for fanatic) we could care less about winged racing.
Just speaking for myself a true nonwing fanatic. A nonwinged car and a winged car...
I see the winner of weedsport was actually complaining that his car made too much power. Imagine that 900hp being too much, that's a first for me to hear a dirt driver saying he had too much motor....
The 5/8 mile was built by the former promoter of Flemington speedway, the fastest 5/8 mile clay track in the world before "progress" swallowed it up.
Personally I prefer nonwing cars on a 3/8 as...
I have to wonder out of the guys that have cockpit adjustable shocks how many can actually make improvements while they are racing as opposed to guys that are making their cars worse out on the...
Could be worse, were into the mx nationals and for whatever reason there always seems to be one guy that's faster then everyone else. This year its Eli Tomac, if he gets a good start forget it he's...
Yep you may. Credit card, whats that ? Me and my son are going, cash deal only, lol. As for the bike I traded a speedwaybike and spent 600 bucks having front suspension done and two new shocks. A...
We had planned on going to weedsport. I really want to support the effort of getting nonwing sprints into northern pa, upstate ny. That being said I'm broke from rebuilding a vintage Honda mxer that...
First off if you asked him to not take photos, out of courtesy I guess he shouldn't have.
Second off if you did ask him to not take a photo, knucklehead is way to mellow of a phrase on his part....
Theres no such thing as a inexpensive car racing class. Any four wheel racing I've been involved in got expensive no matter what your intentions originally were. If your low budget even in a low...
Actually he said he's the BEST driver not participating in the least entertaining class's of racing. Impossible to say one way or the other, saying he's the best is stretching it abit.
