    IHRA Buys Dragway 42?

    Post on Facebook about it. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or not. Didn’t the IHRA shut down a track in FLA and try to sell the land for warehousing?

    Anybody Hiring in Arkansas?

    My son moved from Colorado to Conway Arkansas last year because he wanted a change of scenery, and he had a friend there. He is having a devil of a time finding a job. He had a start date, but the company postponed it a couple times then rescinded the offer. That set him back unfortunately...

    Magnolia Drag Strip Closing

    UMTR just published their 2025 schedule, and Magnolia isn’t on it. I asked and was told Magnolia wasn’t opening. I did a little digging and the only thing I could find online was that there are a couple of no-prep races that are supposed to happen, but nothing else. I can’t say I’m...

    3.8 Minivan Engine Head Gasket Freakishnish

    I have a 2005 Chrysler mini van with the 3.8 V6. I put head gaskets on it a few years ago because it was using coolant, and it seemed like it was getting combustion gas in the coolant. It has MLS type gaskets, I couldn't really see any problem areas. The job turned out ok, but it was a major...

    Oil Downs

    It’s 11:10 pm and still waiting the call for 1st round elimination. In the test and tune classes every other run they have to check the track for oil. Do you guys think maybe this is because tracks don’t even pretend to tech the cars anymore?

    Stunk It Up in C-Bus But Got a Cool Pick

    UMTR had a North vs South race in Columbus at National Trails Saturday. I went into the race with a 13 point lead in the North Street Stick class. Fell alseep on the line and lost an easy race in the first round. At the end of the day I was in second by one point. At least I still have a chance...

    High End Crankshaft? Timken Steel is Now Metallus

    I just wanted to put this out there for reference. I know some of the high end crankshafts (Bryant, Callie’s) are made from steel supplied by Timken Steel. A few months back the company changed its name to Metallus. I’m not sure why. I’m sure the steel is the same, at least for now.

    Bigger Headers, Slower Car

    I switched out my old Hooker headers with 1.75" primaries and 3" collectors for a set of Dougs headers with 2" primary 3.5" collectors. Neither of these have collector extensions. I got out to the track Friday night, and found that the car slowed quite a bit 60' 1/8...

    Running It Out in High Gear

    I’ve been doing a lot of test and tune runs trying to get my act together this spring. At Quaker City TNT is 1/4 mile. It’s hard to beat that feeling running out the quarter, letting it all hang out.

    Facebook Marketplace, Manipulate Me Please

    For better or worse (extremely worse imo), fb marketplace has become THE 2nd hand marketplace. I’ve been jonesing for a 1st gen Charger for years. I search for them off and on, I’ll probably never get one for various reasons, but a guy can dream right? Usually if I search fb, it turns up...

    Ding Dang Old Rain

    Put on a pretty good thrash the last few days to get ready to race. My son and I headed out to Quaker City this morning. Got about 15 minutes away and checked Facebook on more time. Canceled because of the weather forecast. Looks like it wiped out the races all over Ohio.

I noticed a little coolant dripping occasionaly on the rear outside of the block last year. Today I was getting ready to install new pusrodsand saw a puddle of coolant...
