Safety third!

2012 Rocket Dirt Late Model. Low races, was a crate car from new until 2016 then ran 6 races as a super. Maybe 50 races since new. Set up as a blue front suspension geometry on it with the Rocket 1...

Don't forget testing laps boys, these guys get an easy 200 in on a given evening after a weekly show.

Windber Speedway, 1987 was there for a semi late class which was outstanding back then, late models were a bonus. Been racing ever since..

Ok a few easy questions:
Do you run an oil cooler? yes or no
If yes, where is it located

What is your normal oil temp?

Thanks for participating.

Any one have a good or bad opinion of the Go Lithium battery setup? I'm referring to the $585 battery and charger combo that came out in 2015.

GRT74 is spot on the better wrap material is so much easier to install. However we put rivets in after the wrap, but use much more body bolts now than before.

FK Teflon for all my 5/8 hardware, but I have used All Star Teflon lined in a pinch and they seemed to be the same end.

One all the way across at firewall, a stamped one on the hoop just behind door on both sides, 2/3 cross just at fuel cell and then spoiler bar. Nothing going forward /aft other then body panels.

My guy is 6'1" 185 # but try getting a helmet out the right side, maybe able on its side but not vertically.

We made changes this years to lower the deck for room for driver to remove himself and it took ALOT of work to get enough space to get a large impact helmet out the right side.

.810 or 1.25 rotor?

Presoak with PB Blaster and a blount alum thing we use to tap them out. Anti-seize before they go in. Our come out pretty easy but we replace at least once a year.

I just installed a MD3 this Saturday, the RF "runner" is still much higher than the ARP nose. The RF splitter is also much shorter on the MD3. Overall I'm skeptical of the MD3 being a better product...

My point as already discussed is by running 3 wheel brake the car is too tight and there maybe more entry speed if running 4 wheel and braking differently. The driver insist 4 wheel has not worked...

Ok drivers, what percentage do you run 3 wheel brake versus 4 wheel brake?

I was at Rocket this past Friday, looked at the XR1 for a good 2 hours, there is much more going on that the deck being lower. The car is much more compact, appears to be much stiffer as well. Plus...

good points, thanks Matt. I think I'll run the return line. Actually found a nice Aeromotove Fuel log with the regulator on the back.

Anyone using a deadhead style fuel regulator where there is no return line to the tank? Good ? Bad?

I'm planning a Pro Cam mechanical fuel pump that runs 15psi on a 430 all alum engine, I don't...

I don't know why I wanted so long to buy one. I got a MLR just in time for the last 3 day weekend show, I will never go without. We use in shop and at track.

Agree, it made the car much more consistent, we put decals on the skid plate and they were there all year. At full articulation in the shop the cross member does not hit the floor.

Looking for trading for All Aluminum Super Late motor, fresh or lapped out, needs to be complete. Can add cash to the right deal.
My motor is 100% legal and as good as any crate out there.

2015...

Fuel Safe I HAD was plastic junk, went to ATL wedge to get a real bladder cell. Hope this is not a result of Sunday's event.
