The story as I heard it, was that Simpson and another race suit maker / seller were going to have a burn off. Each would light themselves on fire to prove their suits. Simpson did it and the other guy left. Supposedly Johnny Rutherford had a hot dog on a stick that he stuck in Bills fire...

If anyone thinks ovals are easy its because they have never tried it. You are at the limit of traction most of the time. No one gives you a corner just because you stuck a nose inside. There are no long straights to take a break. Even when a yellow comes out, you only get a minute or two then...

Highway to Hell!!There may be a stairway to heaven but there is also a highway to hell. So you know where most of us are going :D

Deep thoughts by Jack Handy

Here's a short racing that video that I thought you guys might like.

Yes, they should be fine for that level of pad. They aren't bad rotors. Its just that Rock Auto listed them as "high performance" which they really aren't. You'll be fine for starting hpde's. I was just expecting more from them.If / when your R300's wear out and you are going faster, the...

They are ok for the street but are not going to take the abuse of aggressive track pads. Those prices are close to the normal rock auto price. I know they seem like a deal (I bought them) but they aren't anything special...

I usually use tasca ford and autonation whitebear ford. They are usually the cheapest oem ford parts including shipping.

I'm sure you know RA has been repaved but for those who don't https://www.indycar.com/news/2022/11/11-15-ra-repave

How about an aluminum block Ford 410 sprint car engine bolted to a Nascar 5 spd transaxle, mounted in the back of a C8 just to mess with the vette guys. https://www.enginelabs.com/engine-tech/inside-ford-performances-new-sprint-car-engine-the-fps-410/...

Nice setup and times. Is this what you are racing against https://nasaprototype.com/ ? Isn't there a better group for them?

I thought you gave up on us lowly Ford guys many years ago and were hangin' with your new richie rich Vette people?! :)

I've had a couple Eaton TrueTracs. I think they are the best diff for the money available. My current s197 is 600 whp, never spins one tire even in the rain and has no bad manners. Plus it can take drag race launches. I run high speed autox with A7s from a standstill without issue. The torsens...
