We normally go watch the last night, it is hard to string enough time together to run the multi day shows now. Really enjoy running TST though. Do you guys run the ice bowl every year?

You’re correct, I was unclear. Since it was the first year of stormpay at our track 602, 604 and what was a hobbie class all ran together. The hobbie cars had more power but were 3 link. Before the...

I can actually speak to the Ford experiment because I was running what was the stormpay series at the time. Robert Gant did win that night but I wouldn’t call it “blistered” because I ran second with...

They do but it hasn’t been updated since June or so. They are racing Saturday night and I think that is it for the weekly shows this year. They may have a special event later this year but the...

Is there a sweet Bloomquist race cars web site? Google failed me.

Well it is being enforced, you just don’t like waiting 2 weeks to hear the results. Also, a sweeping everyone does it isn’t true. It marginalizes the subject to say so.

Peace though. I mean it...

Ft Payne does run a super class but there are only two or three actual supers weekly. Mostly steelheads but those can compete mid summer when the track dries out. Around 8 to 12 cars weekly. It is...

I’m close to ft payne so I jumped on racing junk to see if I could help you out. I didn’t realize they were making trailers out of gold now. Since it seems to be a sellers market I have a 28’...

A better question is if I can afford a $500 shock. You’re correct, crates are SLM cars with “affordable” engines, thus the problem. The large payouts caused it, so the blame lies with them.

Cheap is relative. The thread is about crates. An unlimited super would be a 1000HP slot car, fun for some I guess.

They should remove spring rubbers as well. Seems you could game those as a bump.

Did any cars burst into flames this weekend? Have any cars burst into flames since the extinguisher rule was implemented? I really don’t know, I only read here but it seems like someone would have...

One more thing, the builder was at the track when the timing jumped and he used the same timing light to check it. So that was consistent.

Sorry I don’t log in often but I appreciate your interest. We haven’t put the engine back together yet. The distributor gear was not bronze, it was factory and new. The distributor was locked as...

Thanks for the advice, dyno may be the best way to go. We did check the distributor and it was tight, we didn’t have a mark to see if it was slipping on the cam. That would be a good check. As far as...

Please forgive the lengthy post but I want the situation to be understood, my memory is vague on a few things as it happened a while ago. We run the car on E85 with a new stealth carburetor.

I...

I tickled myself with a thought. What if, one night a track decided to pull all the cars in the infield after a race and said "we're going to clean this class up" and then started tearing down the...

The folks getting protested can protest back, at least that is my memory. As much as it cost to put these engines back together someone should put up the money. Cheater # 1 or 2 should have put up...

It's not the track, someone had put up a large sum of money for them to check. The engine builder should be okay since the guy could have changed the valve springs. One has to wonder about the other...

I'm convinced, some guy that wins regularly still wins. Looking at the rules below I wonder why they no longer allow those seals, did they forget how to make the color blue? To the OP back on topic,...

Well that is good to know, and there were probably more. Maybe the series should publish the data but you have two major series that have what, 30 or more major events. So for 60 events a stock 604...

Granted I don't keep up with national crate racing so I'm at a complete disadvantage, but who won using a straight from GM engine? Also how do you know it was untouched? I know the selling point is...

I wrote a nice long response, but of course it was deleted before it was posted. So I will keep it short.

In short the cheating is rampant, but it's legal cheating as odd as that sounds. We all...

Is there a video somewhere that shows these mandated systems extinguish and keep a fire from reinighting? Just thinking of a ruptured cell and fuel pouring over hot parts, I'm all for it if it works.
