| How difficult/expensive is it keeping
2 separate cars both racing? |
It can be challenging preparing for a race or during a race
with the two cars. As far as cost, it has not been much of
a problem. If I want my
car to be faster I buy more parts. If she wants her car faster
or upgraded, she buys parts. However, I still have to install
them. LOL |
| |
| Couldn't help but notice that you
just recently started posting, but have been to all, or almost
all, Nats, why didn't you post before? |
Good question. Up until our new house (1 year ago) we had
crappy dial-up so I hardly got onto the Internet. As the years
have past I
have met new friends from this site, which has made me want
to get more involved. |
| |
| I know your car used to be a blower
car...why did you switch to NA, and do you like it better
now? |
-Quick list of milestones will explain the last question.
1). 12.0s with 302 5speed, TW heads and all the usual bolt
ons. 2.) Added an A-trim,
went 10.9 then 10.6 with C4 switch. Fuel pump went and toasted
the 302. So I built a 408/Strim and went 10.2's. Started
melting a piston and lifted. Said screw it and sold S-trim
to try out all motor. 10.5's with fuel injected. 10.3's
when I switched to carb. Shave the heads and learned more
about carbs... 9.98 @134. Now today, I'm running different
heads chasing the 9's again. We shall see very soon!! |
