Actually, what Ron hit WAS a SAFER barrier. We just did not know it from the public side until Patrick Grant posted these photos. FOX did very well to not show any of it on TV or the NHRA.TV live stream. They showed the helicoper shot ONCE and never again, and it's not on any recorded stream...

Latest video - Magnafluxing the rear end gears

Spent all week getting the front suspension sorted out. Flaming River makes the "Ford Pinto" rack... which you then cut 8" off each tierod and weld on promod-style extensions that are 3" shorter than the "pinto" dimensions. That was a learning moment. Then the toe-in battle. We spent 3 days...

That was a neat video, talking about Mercier's wild ride and repair was a good bonus

So I did some reading up. It turns out this was premeditated. At the Warm-Up race in Bradenton, alot of people were wearing black shirts with #NHRASpeedCheck on them, and the NHRA and several teams were using it on social media since that weekend. It makes me wonder if FOX did this as an...

If anybody has seen the new IndyCar on Fox commercials, they are branding it as "The fastest motorsports". And Bob Tasca took that issue up during his first round interview this morning.

News to me, I haven't seen it happen on Chrome. At least that I have recognized.

ET Shack guy said he saw the back end come up. Working on figuring out the steering right now. Nothing seems bent, but the toe is off about 1/8" and the steering wheel is off about 45 degrees (about 1/4" of toe travel). Dad already talked to Hairy Glass. They have the molds still and said 4-6...

It's like waking up and going "That was a dream, right"....and walking out to the shop and saying "nope, it was not a dream". We are still evaluating structural but it all seems sound. For the body, not so much. The hood might be salvagable but likely is not. Front clip is a write-off. Dad's...

I can somewhat agree on the track shortening. Going in person last year, it's a loooong wait for them to come back around - even though you can see 80% of the track from the Turn 1 grass. So it helps that. Caution laps took FOR-EV-ER. so it will help that. As much as I miss the hairpin and high...

The Texas Education System has its own retirement system separate from SS. It's kind of like a marged 401K and savings account. Basically, K-12 employees pay into the Texas Teacher Retirement System but NOT Social Security, Higher Ed employees pay into both SS and TRS. It's a complicated...

Anybody who thought it was a bright idea to be behind Custer, Nemechek, or Crashhouse. Either be in front of them, or hang out in the back and be the catbird when those three do their thing.

7. They kept their brains together until they didn't. Love with some very tactful blocks except that brave one at the end. That was just pure luck and stupidity.

That looked like a video game "Excuse me, pardon me, coming through, sliding by, pardon me, please stay over there"

Auctions are always crapshoots. However the guy making the video is not familiar with the platform and doesn't realize that all those "Wierds" are actually normal. The intake and heads were made by Mopar Performance. the hood latch was done because the grille inserts block the handle. That...

Nearly all circle track lugnuts (NASCAR and otherwise) are made by the same company - Kluhsman Racing Components. The yellow paint is required, called "Safety Yellow". The lug nuts are never to be re-used in competition (but typically car at the sportsman level)...

I was in Calif seeing Family from Weds to Yesterday. Logged 560 miles of driving in 4 days. 1) No, Dallas does not know how to drive in snow. When DFWites learn to drive in the sun, we'll discuss teaching them to drive in snow. Dad says we only got a small amount; other parts of DFW got several...

are ya'll trying to make somebody barf or....?

82 degrees today. Felt great. Cold front tonight. Calling for sub-freezing and possible single digits second week of January. Not okay.
