Not too old for toys though (see your avatar)

It was a blast. Hadn't raced more than time runs in a long time. Here is how it went: Time runs: ET @ MPH, 60', reaction time 14.50 @ 99.38, 2.21, .041 14.14 @ 99.59, 2.26, -.014 14.24 @ 100.23, 2.32, .121 I recorded all 3 of these on the laptop. On the first pass I lost .05 in the first 60' and ano...

non-NASCAR fans might not get it.

the GM cars have a rubber stop in the center of the rear end directly above the front of the pumpkin. To make it work for racing you need to move it down closer to the housing. I place mine so I can just fit my finger between the housing and the snubber (less than 1"). You are correct the snubb...

FWIW the open carrier/air shock/pinon snubber outfit was good for 13.22 in my 78 Lemans. That car had coil springs so it was hard to find traction bars, and the snubber was cheap. I never did buy a posi for it and the body rusted out before I could get to the 12's. I still use the snubber today in m...

Torque converter: high stall = good

Airplane: low stall = good

Restroom: high stall = good

A stall converter is not like a light switch. It will start moving the car before the number. With a 3.anything gear you probably won't spend a lot of time under 16-1800 anyway. You need to find someone with a high stall and drive the car around and see, because it is hard to explain. My SS stalls w...
