Despite the insanely terrible managemental organization last night, the outcome was still good. I'm glad they opened too because up to this point I had taken no hardware this year at all. I won against Gigantor in the finals by .0482 hard on the brakes. I ran a 11.58 on a .57 dial and knocked 8mph o...

A British guy announcing dirt track racing in TN. Something is amiss.

The "crossmember" that I was talking about is just two front frame support brackets that are plenty beefy, and clearly in the way of my pan, so I went to work with a grinder and a whizzer wheel. After a short while of that we test fit the motor and was able to easily get both mounts in pla...

If you're buying multiple oil changes, Summit does ship free over $109, so probably three oil changes worth. I didn't have to jack my Golf up to change the oil, it was pretty handy having the filter on top, just like an ecotec GM motor.

I always changed my own oil in my Golf. Castrol made an oil I believe that met all the criteria for the factory warranty, and I never changed my drain plug. It was the same plastic one that just took a big screwdriver to remove. I had it about as long as you do now. As long as you have the receipts ...

How much weight can it carry? Kurt might want to know...

I started going through my time slips and I was definitely getting quicker as the night went on, both in reaction time and ET. So changing the rear gear got me down to a best of 4.22 and my best reaction time for the night was .057, with a couple other 4.2x runs and several (in competition) low .1xx...

Keep in mind your not hauling enough weight to matter. Mark's 10-15% logic is correct typically. But I pull my quad (400lbs) with a 450lb trailer, and I had 200lbs of sandbags too and I could lift the tongue easily with one hand and it pulled like it wasn't there with no swaying or bouncing. You're ...

Looks good to me. Mine sits at way more angle than that when it's on my truck. Good to go!

I'm a non-paid spokesperson for Bulldog Battery on Vine St. I use them for all my batteries and had nothing but really good luck. Been buying from them since about 2017. Just got my quad battery from them about a month ago. Although your proximity to them at this point might not make it the most con...

The lowering kit is now a bunch of boxes in my garage. Paul should be able to do it in the next few weeks, if not, I'll go another route. Without a long boring story, I bought some 18" chrome factory wheels to go on once it's lowered. I'll order the tires in the next couple weeks. The tires sho...

So as I'm doing more reading, a lot of people are just notching or modifying the crossmember where the pan hits, so before I blow a few hundred bucks on a pan and pickup that may not work, I'll look into modifying what I have...

The past few Saturday mornings have been spent trying to get this LS1 to sit on the engine mounts. It's been in and out no less than five times, and each time learning something new. At this point the exhaust manifolds are removed, the alternator came off, the power steering pump and bracket have be...

It's all about the ass...
