I hate what I had to do
After battling with a Holley 2245 (350 cfm 2bbl found on 360,383,400) I have given up. The float is hinged on the wrong side and I just can’t get it to work. Today I bolted a 2G Rochester on it. After swearing I never would I have put a Chevrolet part…
Car 34 doesn’t know QUIT
We showed up for opening night 2012 with last years championship winning JYD Daytona upgraded to proper ministock specs. The tech guys laughed, the other racers laughed. Well they ain’t laughing now! After getting lapped in 7 laps on opening night in May we have kept picking away at it and trying…
Its lonely at the top for a Mopar guy – long sorry
So last year we won a lot of races and the points in the 4 cyl JYD class. So like most teams that are successful there we moved up to the proper ministocks for 2012. But unlike everyone else that does that, we did it with the same car. I love my Daytona. We get a pretty good weight break for our…

There’s always one guy. LONG SORRY
There’s always one guy that you just can’t pass without the cars banging together. This one guy tonite is a guy that shows up sporadically. There’s 2 or 3 of us that are fast and run up front. Then there’s guys like this that are .500 off the pace in some rusty POS and take it personally when the…
Lucky to be a MOPAR guy. FORDS suck.
WEll, burnt up another POS small block FORD today. The first one in my inherited Crown Vic melted down after about 40 laps. It was a 351W from a scrap car. I never touched a thing on it.
I took that out and put in a 302. BUT I learned my lesson from the first one. I put a set of Clevite bearings…
