I don't run beadlocks on the front, but I do run a mud cover on both right side wheels. Lost a couple of feature races due to mud getting in my RF wheel, making it impossible to hold on the track.

The frustrating thing about going a lap down is, like mentioned above: If you're running 15th and get lapped just before a caution, your still right behind the 14th place car, but it doesn't matter...
It's sad that even as hard as Larry tries to promote the Rumble, the majority of people who aren't hard core racers in this three state area, are still oblivious to the event.
6565 Adam, the soap trick worked really well. I even tried breathing directly on them purposely, and although they fogged up just a little, it immediately went away. And Saturday was a hot muggy...
Do you race at Gas City Ron? I did send you a PM a while back, but we plan to be at Gas City next week. If you race there too we could just discuss it then.
Looking for a bent, broke or messed up 2"-31t rear axle, if anyone has one in their scrap bin. Need about 4" of the spline next to the shoulder to be clean and straight.
I've always wanted to go, but never have. Watching qualifying, it appears that there are V6 powered cars in attendance. It also appears that one of the V6 cars may have won the pole. My question...
I've used these AutoMeter Ultra-Lite II guages for two seasons now, and getting ready to start a third. They are not liquid filled. No issues so far...
One of the upsides to running a Lightening Sprint, is that we use our tires for about half a season, then sell them to the low budget teams for $40 each. They get to use them a while, and I don't...
All valid points, especially about the clean chain. Also, when you replace your chain, replace all your sprockets too. They have worn with the chain, and putting a new chain on old sprockets will...
I have a shift light tach, and set the shift light 300 RPM below my rev limiter. If I don't see the light come on, I need more teeth on the rear sprocket. If I'm hitting the limiter, I need less. ...
I've had more than one factory wheel leak. The big glob of silicone they use broke loose from the wheel. That's why I started putting a light smear between the halves, then a small bead around to...
Clear silicone in a caulking gun is my go to. I generally smear a little between the halves before I assemble them, then run a bead around after they're together.
Just how much air pressure are people using to air tires? Doesn't seem to me like 10-15 lbs. would create that much havoc. Not like putting 120 lbs. in a semi tire.
