Re: Track Report

Since I just joined this site, I thought I'd give my track report from my last races this year. With my blue car, I went 3 rounds at the Div 3 finals at Indy in Sept. I got treed badly. Then the black car when I finally put the stroker in it, I lost, bought back, and lost again. It was mainly a test...

At a meager 7 posts, I think I have a long way to go to catch up.

Re: 200 hp and 20 mpg

I'm thinking of anything you can do to lighten the car and lighten rotataing weight. You said you didn't want to change the rear gear, but I would think you would need to go to the 2.80's or higher. Also, since you got a six cyl.car which rearend is in it, the 8" or more likely the smaller 7 thingy....

Re: Finally registered to this site

The black car is a 2x3 square tube car. It has a 4 link with 4.11's out back. The tires are Mickey T's 10.5W x 31. C-6 Transmission with a Transbrake. The converter was a 4000 stall, but it is coming out because I now believe that to be the source of messing up 3 crankshafts (sore subject) I'm going...

Re: Finally registered to this site

Ok, since it is easier for me to copy a link from you tube then trying to figure out how to post pics, here it is. BTW, I lose the race in all 3 videos, so videos are bad luck. Believe it or not I have won a few rounds with both cars :D. The black car has a 466 in it when the video was made. I ran t...

Re: Finally registered to this site

Are we allowed to post links to you tube videos here? I don't want to get off on the wrong foot and do something I shouldn't. If we can, I can post a link to a couple of videos of my car going down the track that a friend took a couple of years back.

Re: Finally registered to this site

Thanks for the welcome! I'll see what I can do to scare up some pics, but not today. It's supposed to make it to 50F today and I got plenty of projects to do outside as soon as I am done with lunch.

Finally registered to this site

I bookmarked this page a few years back and have read a lot of posts from it. I finally went ahead and registered so I can join in on the fun. I currently have 3 65 Caliente's, all 2 door hardtops. One is black with a big block that runs in the 10's. I had some motor/torque converter issues and now ...
