That car is getting a lot of love. It's cool how much you've done so far. Hopefully you'll be able to run trouble free the rest of the year.

Running two different vehicles in two different classes makes the night a lot busier! Luckily, the classes I picked didn't overlap one another so I wasn't jumping back and forth between vehicles. In the Corvette, I was in 2WD V8 and Street Gas 4.5 which is a 4.5 index for streetable vehicles. I pret...

This Thursday is my first dirt drag of the year at Dragway 42. I'll be there with the Vette and the Raptor. Should be a busy night!

Practice and registration start at 5 and eliminations begin at 7pm. Pretty sure the ATS will be in attendance.

Since trailer exists because of the quad, I'll post it here. I loaded it up with my old mower and fridge headed for Tony's place on Friday night. So far I'm super please with the functionality of this thing. I got a new mower and fridge so he's taking these as upgrades at the House of Bricks. The mo...

It would be a definite improvement. Or just take it off altogether. The rest of the car is empty already. Does this car currently have a heating/defrosting function still?

Now that your car is super fast, and you have cool videos from inside the car, you need to replace the dash pad.

I had my first outing with the Raptor last night. This is a whole new world for me. I was kinda glad they were 1/8 mile just to help me get acclimated to getting a feel for what's going on. I haven't had this thing over probably 30-35mph ever so there were a lot of variables. I was improving all nig...

I was right behind Dave for the 10.55 pass. It was straight and clean, and I could tell that there's still a ton more time in the 60'. The 10.55 is great, and there's a ton more potential sitting there in a little more tuning with no more power required. It runs straight and true, and sounds great. ...

I know there's lots of updates that need to be done on this list. I just updated the Vette (minimal change).

"There are 56 screws holding this thing in place.".

That's just silly.

Two in the front, one for the rear axle. That's all of them. The old fluid was pretty dark.

The S10 has been at Dad's for a few weeks while the Vette is at my place. I bought some braided brake lines awhile back with the intention of putting them on over the winter. Winter is clearly over but yesterday seemed a good day for the task. I didn't take any pictures so use your imagination, but ...

I did know the headlight off trick. A headlight aiming tool would be handy. Might worth doing it with a full tank of gas since these hold so much fuel.
Definitely needs to be DARK to know if it worked.

Cheap amusement!

So my headlight adjustment in the garage was pretty unsuccessful in the dark so last night I went out with a screwdriver at dusk and drove around making several adjustments, each one a little better, but I'm pretty happy how they turned out compared to what I had. With last Wed being a little crazy,...
