We've been poking and prodding our combo for a few years now trying to squeeze every ounce of power from our 413 based wedge to try to get our flying brick into the tens. It proved to be harder than we originally thought and our engine builder (Dan Dvorack) hates our nose high stance and various...

So the converter that we bought when we had our transmission built is an 8" 5000 stall and is way too much converter for our 413. Although our motor is built very well by Dvorack, it's no 9 second missile. It is 13:1 with a fairly mild roller cam and very massaged iron heads with a port matched...

Anyone heading to Vegas this year for Mopars at the Strip? My crew chief and his family are heading that way for a wedding at the end of March so we decided to throw the altered on the trailer and take it for an early season thrash. It's only a scant 1267 miles. We have a new converter in the...

We made the eight hour trek this past weekend to challenge our buddies from Wagons of Steel (South) to a match race with their '64 C-stock Savoy Wagon. It was the Wild West (?) Nostalgia weekend so there were plenty of cool Mopars to oggle but we had our sights set on racing our American...

I have to admit that I had no idea what Nendra was so I had to look it up. Damn, that seems like a fun class and our car would be right at home. Is there anything even close to this out west? I check out these guys site sometimes http://www.americannostalgiawest.com/events.html but most of their...

So our good buddies from Wagons of Steel (South) will be racing their CS/A wagon in Spokane next month for a division 6 race and I thought we would go down and support them but it really pains me to drive over three hours to a race track and not race. So my question is, can a lowly bracket racer...

Hey folks, we've been having some problems with our oiling system holding a prime if the car sits for more than 12 hours. We've gotten into the habit of doing a manual prime with the drill through the distributor hole if the car sits for any length of time but realistically...this is stupid. We...

Alright, I'm hoping these video links work. I'm not the best youtube user on the planet. The old blog link below has more dirty details if you're the readin' type. 11.13 @ 119mph http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY0005wIpGw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xE5Q4x1H4c

We had some friends pass us on a set of 29x10.5W Hoosiers that were a bit ill fitting in their car but still brand new and work for us. We mounted them up and they were weeping a bit of air from the sidewalls. We have actually always run tubes in our slicks but folks I've talked to over the past...

Well our long awaited cross ram maxed wedge (I feel like I can say that) has finally arrived, been installed and tested. Now we need to tune our entire chassis to work with the extra power. We layed a few 1/8 mile passes down at our little track that is situated at a nosebleed elevation of...

This is a bit of a dorky post so feel free to heckle me. I live in a pretty residential neighborhood and have the advantage of liking most of my neighbors. So as much as I love sound of open exhaust, I'm pretty sure that most people that are not associated with drag racing do not. I was...

We've been running the Hurst Racing 30/10/15 pie crust slicks on our altered this past season with mixed results. If we go to a bomber facility like Mission where they run 5 second cars and the prep is usually nothing short of phenomenal then the tires work great, providing they have no time to...

We've had our new altered out quite a bit this Spring but the nostalgia drags are always our favorite. This motor combo has gone 11.3s in a bigger car so we still need to squeeze out the hidden 1/10ths. This weekend it was going 11.7s with bad air and a strong head wind. Regardless, we kept all...
