Very nice Magnethead. You should hit Jegs up for a little sponsorship.
I'd have to move this thread to podium to answer that. We've ordered more bad things from them than good.Very nice Magnethead. You should hit Jegs up for a little sponsorship.

They give us new tire covers every year, but that is about all we use of theirs.
Nice vid, Mag. Engine sounds good.

Gopro audio quality isn't exactly the best, but it gets the job done.
I underestimated the lens coverage. Covered from one wall to the other, I had to zoom it in and the video quality naturally tanked.

How long until you raise the wheels on the track?

The "good old days" ??
Is that an engine break-in routine, or was he supplying fuel?
I think he was adding trans fluid...
this
45 minute to gate opening, about an extra 45 from that to first hit.
Video soon. Blew both front shocks out.
On the landing, I presume...
As I said, video soon. 8" convertor behind a 565...they warned it would be violent. It stuck like glue. Well, till the 330. Then it started spinning the tires and overpowering the track.

Interesting video, I had no idea what he was putting into your engine but your car sounded MEAN, when the motor started!! I enjoyed reading at your website. Best of luck in the upcoming season!
I was topping off the transmission. Can't properly fill it until the front pump is spinning.

I never seen a drag race car from those angles! Thank you for posting this!
That was awesome
Bent frame rails are not.That was awesome
Here's the xtra-slow-mo
And from the back
Nice vids.
Racing is comprised of where you try to go faster and break stuff, then you fix the stuff you broke and try to figure out why it broke so you can go fast without that stuff breaking again, only to break different stuff and try to figure out why that different stuff broke so that you can.....
You get the idea.

Well, seeing as we had just cut the old A-arm mounts off because they were bent, laid 1/4" plate over the frame rail, and made new A-arm mounts from 1/4" plate, we thought the problem was solved.
Nope. Instead of bending the mounts...it just bent the whole damn rail. On both sides. By 5 degrees.
But the rails are folded against the motorplates now, where there used to be a 1/4" gap. So they can't twist anymore. We're just going to make the upper arms longer to fix the tire camber, and leave the rails where they are.
before-
after-
We put the mounts over that plate.

Those gaps used to be square.
