    RIP Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins NHRA Legend passes away

    Bill was one of my heros from the time I was a teenager until the present day. His book was a constant reference for me in the early days, and I still refer to it even today. While attending an AETC conference in CO Springs back in the late '90's, I went to the bathroom to take a leak. While I...

    Sfcr website?? Trojan??

    My anti-virus program has blocked me from visiting SFCR's website for a few weeks (says there's some kind of trojan there). Backdoor approaches have gone to those stupid advertising page views that you get when a website is shut down. I know they have an aversion to posting results and point...

    Marion, IL - Turnpike Speedway

    My uncle took me to see my first auto race ever at the Benton Fairgrounds. Must have been late '50's, very early '60's. I remember Chuck Amati winning the sprint feature, and a stock car (modified, maybe?) barrel-rolling in the 4th turn, with the entire rear end, leaf springs and all, coming out...

    Forum software upgraded...

    There's not enough contrast/separation between thread subject and thread starter/date; the font is too close in size and gray value, everything just seems to blend together, nothing stands out.

    Machines??

    I forgot: I also have several sets of seat grinding setups available; Hall Toledo, Kwik-way, and Sioux. I haven't used any of them since changing to carbide tooling on a Bridgeport!

    Machines??

    Beware-Beware. Of Mansfield Equipment. They still owe me money (over $500) from 7 or 8 years ago.

    Machines??

    If you're going to try to make money with this equipment, I would look into one of the used automotive machinery dealers around, like Jamison... the others slip my mind just now, but I'll think of them later... they're bookmarked on my home computer. Ebay is cheap, but it's easy to get a turd if...

    Car stolen at Gateway last night.

    Not necessarily; there's a back way out of the place, east of the strip going south. You can see it on Google Earth; we used to use it when NHRA was in town to avoid all the traffic.

    NASCAR hands Long, crew chief record penalties

    Sorry, valves do not affect displacement at all; that engine was probably just worn out. King Richard won a race with a big engine back in the day, and got caught; i think his brother-in-law was thrown under the bus for that. In that case, the fine was tiny in comparison to the size of the...

    Got a question about winches.....

    I bought ours back in 2002, so things have changed a bit, but I was looking for one that would pull a wrecked 3000lb late model into the trailer, so it needed to be powerful (easy to find), compact(not so easy), and affordable. Most of the git-r-dun bumper-mount types were too darn big, and the...

    Large air compressors + lights

    We have 2 large air compressors available for bottom dollar. These are 3 phase machines, so unless you have access to that type of power, they won't be of too much use to you. The larger unit is a Quincy 5120 reciprocating unit of 1979-1980 vintage, with a 25hp motor and a horizontal 120 gallon...

    Something EVERY racer should check out-SAVE MONEY ON TAXES!

    The "gotcha" is that the IRS requires you to have a "reasonable expectation" of turning a profit if you follow this route. Otherwise, they deem it a "hobby" and no deductions are allowed. Try this: for a past year of racing, figure out where you would have had to finish, on average, in EVERY...
