What is everyone's winter plans???

We're racing. 217 race cars at Atmore last night. A good friend recently blew up his 408" Windsor bracket car...so while it sits in my garage, he borrowed a 512" BBF Ranger yesterday and footbraked it into the finals last night. About 2:00 a.m. he spun the tires on an ice cold track and didn't run his number. Runner up.

I've been trying to get him into a bigblock for years, now he's thinking of buying the Ranger.

Finished my essay for English and finished some math homework

No mechanical changes for the car as everything was new last year but the car is currently out for a paint job - finally....Should be Grabber blue in the next week or so. Other than that I just need new belts and maybe a new fuel regulator with 1/2" ports as my entire fuel system is 1/2" now but the regulator is still 3/8". My tranny is at my sponsor's for a free winter tear down, I only put 22 passes on the new rollerized C6 but Roy wanted to see how everything looked with some full passes on it using the brake.

mines ready to go, sb car is down for awhile getting a glide, crank trigger, and a 7531...... ill get excited about going to the track one of these days if Id ever quit buying bullets and stuff......

Stocker is waiting for a Gforce and clutch.

Dragster needs some belts and the Emc 572 inserted between the rails.

My winter plans got put on hold with the Wife's sister getting in bad shape with the cancer and passing at the end of Jan. I trying to get my F350 ready to paint when the weather will let me. Then it be time to get the Ranger back in the shop and change out my front springs out and make some tnt runs to see how it does with the new frontend under it.

We have made some changes this year to the Probe. We added a third system (and second bottle), new Santhuff rear shocks, new rear Weld beadlocks, moved the fuel cell to the front, new hood and scoop. We should be testing in the next couple of weeks. Hope we didnt slow it down .

New valve springs are on,thanks to Lem!  got it fired up but didn't like how it sounded found an injector nozzle with junk in it! So all you meth injectors be sure and clean your nozzles!

Yup, new valve springs, new slicks, gear change, and gonna try an SV1 carb. Should be interesting........same thing here - hope I didn't slow it down .!.

sorry about that the pass before this I went 141mph but the wheelie bars were high and I had to pedal it. this was leaving just above idle. the BBF on alky sure makes some torque!     https://youtu.be/jxQkmSm8tP0

this new piece made things much better down the track! all it needs now is painting black!

Nice pass what kind of et it run

that pass was a 4.98@ 140mph. I was so happy it was driving better I didn't run it anymore that night! the air was killer and now I wish I would have pushed it to low 4.90's.........

Very nice!
