That's why I run a full face helmet.

djracer · 09-05-2006, 03:32 PM

who raced? I think every track around here was racing!

I did the family road trip thing but I fished, drank beer and ate all weekend!

71Dragtruck · 09-05-2006, 11:53 PM

No racing for me this weekend, slim chance this coming up weekend either. Have points races on the 16th and 17th I plan on being at.

bigjimzlll · 09-06-2006, 08:44 AM

No racing here...I put the aluminum bed cover on.
A few months ago I broke the rear caliper off at the top end and lock them up hard. I fixed the caliper...I thought...After breakin out in the finals a couple of weeks ago, I was PO and drove up to the tower to get my check, I shut the motor off and coasted to a stop. Well it didn't take long to stop. I heard a grinding noise and it stoped abruptly. The caliper was digging into the wheel. I couldn't even spin the rears over by hand while jacked up.

I have fixed it(temporarily) and it spins easy. I can't wait to see the times with the cover and with out the breaks on.

I will have the video camera this Saturday...so I'll post some videos.

This sounds a little scary! What kind of rear brakes do you have and what's temporary about the repair!

We don't want crash video's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bigjimzlll · 09-06-2006, 04:04 PM

LOL...I removed the caliper and bracket completely. I ran it this way when it originally broke. It stops str8 as can be. Just 75% braking power. It still head and shoulders above the old drum set up.

The calipers are off of a 87 seville. I have to find one in the junk yard to get the bracket.

bigjimzlll · 09-10-2006, 04:44 PM

posted a couple of chitty videos

looks and sounds good Jim!

bigjimzlll · 09-11-2006, 12:35 AM

Thanks...

djracer · 09-11-2006, 01:27 AM

Pretty Kool video's I'll have to blow the dust off my video camera when I get my nos convertor back in!

I drove 60 miles to race 7.0 class tonight and they only had a 6.20 race! I had already made a 6.90 and 6.95 pass I was ready! I new the truck wouldn't go that fast so I unhooked the exhaust trying to gain a little. I ran a 6.53. I went out first round of course! I went another 6.53 first round! I hooked the exhaust back up and it went a 6.62 so the 3 inch flowmasters got to go! What do you guys run for exhaust and have you tried it both ways? (capped and Uncapped)

What's your tracks Pro class index ?? Thanks ..................... 409

bigjimzlll · 09-11-2006, 08:59 AM

I run the 3" flowmasters too. delta 40s. I have a set of bullets I'm going to try. They are loud...but if they are worth a tenth....

These were heads up classes at an outlaw track! We can brkt race at any E.T. its just electronics or no electronics!

71Dragtruck · 09-11-2006, 09:48 AM

I run full 3" exhaust with a H-pipe, and Magnaflows. I've never tryed running open headers, too lazy to take it off and put it back on. Some day I might give it a try.

My track Pro class cut off is 7.50 to 13.99, how you like that spread.

I went from a set of 2-chamber flowmaster race muffs to a set of Dynomax Race Magnums in a 3 1/2". Less restriction than the Flowmasters and quieter than the bullet mufflers.

409biscayne · 09-25-2006, 01:02 AM

Truck ran a 14.31 on the weekend , with a 1.95 60 foot , only one more race day this season , sure hoping for a 14.25 pass . Hey not in the 10's but still a kick .
Later .................................... 409

You have to like the sub 2.00 60', you might have to leave a few parts at home for the last run of the season.

71Dragtruck · 09-27-2006, 11:15 PM

Anybody besides 409 getting any racing in? Rained here for a week straight, last races of the season were canceled and now moved to this weekend and I have to work. Well so much for some last runs to work the rest of the bugs out of the nitrous system, I guess 10.5's will have to wait till next year.

bigjimzlll · 09-28-2006, 12:05 AM

I'm putting a new cam in this week...I have 2 day races all of October...can't wait

71Dragtruck · 09-28-2006, 12:09 AM

Best I can hope for is the weather holds up and they have another street legal day.

djracer · 09-28-2006, 08:25 AM

I got my convertor back and I ordered new mufflers and front tires! I might try to race Sunday.

You guys need to moved here to the south we race pretty much year round!

57sailplane · 09-28-2006, 12:11 PM

hey djracer.. i am having trouble with my step notch on the rear.. cause the roll cage is in the road. yours looks like it runs to near the same place as mine.. could you tell me what size of tube your step notch is made of.. it must be plenty strong for racing...
