Yet another good looking Gains car that hauls azz!! Great to hear, Mike.

Great results! And all the way down the timeslip! Congrats.

I don’t disagree Doug, especially with the results you’ve had. I felt the same when the car had the 451 in it. But something changed with the new mill. I’ve been able to be consistent with my lights, but not consistently on time like I once was. If I leave on the flash of the bottom where I...

It’s already got a bolt in sprag, 4.2:1 band lever, & a deep aluminum pan. I’m adding a billet L/R servo with the brake. The one thing I do still need to add is a billet front drum. The new valve body is a low-band apply design, as was the current T/A unit. I also run an SFI safety blanket...

Suspension is all Calvert stuff. Springs, bars, and shocks. Class is typically NHRA Pro ET. Basic bottom bulb, no electronics, bracket racing.

I’ve been fairly successful as well, Doug. But I’m watching the competition build better and better machines for accomplishing the task. I’ll always believe that a footbrake approach can be competitive. But that doesn’t mean it’s not at a disadvantage.

Seems to me that you could wire a rocker switch to activate reverse. Would be a lot easier than holding a button when backing up. I’m Thinking that the button will be mounted to the dash on a “stand-off” mount to the right of the steering wheel, at approx. the same depth as the wheel. This...

Simply posting to share the latest investments in the LemonWedge program. After not winning a race for (2) years running now, I’ve realized that to compete in today’s bracket racing world, I must evolve. I’ve been competitive, but at the same time it’s become evident that the gap between the...

Update after a 2nd year on the “new” mill: ran a best of 10.42 @ 128 this year. It’s been on the converter that was custom built for the old much milder 451. It’s a Lupo/Dynamic 9-1/2” unit, and it’ll be going back Dynamic to be tailored more to the new motor as part of this off season’s...

I see now you are in Boulder City…. Coincidence: the reason we’re flying to Vegas is to look at Boulder City as a potential retirement landing spot. I’ll look into how much it would cost to pack it on the plane with us.

No plans to go South, except my wife and I are flying to Vegas in 10 days. You anywhere near there? I also may have friends that will be going to divisional races. It could ride in a buddies trailer somewhere Im sure. Where are you at?…. I’ll ask around.

Got the season started tonight with a quick Wednesday night TnT session, and it was an interesting one. I had the feeling at the end of last year the the car was running just a little on the lean side. Added an AFR guage over the off season, but the Bosch sensor went out after only a minute or...

I am in the market for a 67 hood with RO23 scoop. Can you send a few pictures of the top side? And could you possibly ship it?

Haven’t been able to make out any VIN #’s anywhere.

That cam will make most of its power below 6000rpm. The RPM manifold is really tough to beat through 5500. I’d go with with it, and would be willing to bet large sums that it would be faster with it than the TM7.

I gave the compressor a workout today, spending much of the day cleaning up this block. The more I saw, the more I smiled! Almost all of the rust was very superficial surface rust, and it came off quickly & easily with a wire wheel. Cylinders are all in great shape; not one single issue in any...

Would not appear to be any stampings above the pan rail at either side. It would seem to have been painted Chrysler blue at some point however. Distributor pocket is a greasy crusty mess. Not going to get to that today.
