i believe it had new rings and bearings and timing set put in it, and gaskets and UMP tags. Everythind done to it was 100% UMP Pro mod legal. I can run it in the st louis area but not with USRA. and IDK about $4 a gallon race fuel, I don't believe that for a second, i don't care enough to price...
i run a crate because I buy pump gas down the street from my house for less than $3 a gallon. good, "built" engines need 110 fuel which is $8 a gallon or more. crate engines do NOT require fancy, expensive headers. the exhaust port on a vortec head is about 1/4 higher than the exhaust port on a...
i agree they should have scales, pretty much inexcusable. especially when the "penalty" for running an "open" bmod engine is to have to weigh more lol. a brand new set of digital scales can be bought for $1,000 or less actually. and i actually offered to take my scales over there as long as I...
you guys should look up respect and figure out what that is. he helps out a lot of racers. a lot of nights the only tow truck at the race track actually belongs to him. were you aware of that? give the guy some slack, he is having fun.
as a driver I dont mind it, i know things work both ways. the last 3 redraws for me were 7, 8 and 7. but I also got a 2 the first night at highland. the only thing i dont really like is if there is a dash and a non dash car gets front row I think that kinda stinks. and if you DNF the heat, dont...
i have a gen 2 also, not sure what I am going to do yet. I still have my old brinn. In my opinion "we" need to keep racing affordable. What I mean is a gen 2 is $100 more than a brinn, a few hundred more than a standard bert, etc etc. Telling a bunch of guys that have bought / invested in these...
It would be great to see announcements from tracks to know who is using these rules, what their tire rule is going to be and if the shock rule listed is what the tracks are sticking with.
we could sit here and debate what is smart or not smart all night. How about what is right and wrong? I can think of 2 guys that have supported your track all season and quite a bit the last few years that are doing good in your b-mod points and have committed to going to a different race the...
If you guys want to reschedule the last race to suit your own interests then points should be OVER. Some people have supported your race track all year, and for many years, and have already committed to other races the weekend of September 8th.
Crazy idea here: local b-mod tracks should NOT allow this new tire until June or July on b-mods. Why? it is an economy class. Driver A with $1,200 worth of tire money should not have an advantage over Driver B that has 345 really nice used A, A/S and H tires already. By June or July Driver B...
what accessories? i have a hard time understanding how people can have somebody else build them a brand new engine from scratch for less than $3500. Not every person can put things together themselves, not everybody has a buddy that do the machine work for next to nothing, not everybody can find...
Have any tracks made any plans for the 2017 season? Rule changes? Sanction changes or drops? I am sure a lot of the Late Model guys are curious about these rule changes. I have heard UMP is changing the tire rule again.Anybody know about UMP mandating wheel covers with 5 or 6 dzus fasteners...
bad deal for steffens. looked to me that kenny got in there a little too hard, got on the brakes but got into him and spun him. i do not think it was intentional.
well i pretty much was terrible every time it counted. i started out pretty fast in the mud but not very good in the slick, so i kept adjusting for that and then ended up on a hammer down track with the car tightened up for the slow dusty slick. Uggghhh. I had fun though, just got to get my car...
