Default Re: Not for Nuthin' But Close!

Another season comes to an end with the S/SS race at M/D. I was a 1st rd victim of a trip-zip light (and a FFFord of all things) but the car ran well (15.20s in DF/S).
Winter plans involve getting some kind of a torque converter built and maybe "playing" with a cylinder head. I have another complete car with a good working engine and transaxle (car's bad) that I might take apart and play with or I might just try and find a Malibu to run in the new DF/S depending what the index winds up being.

Early in this build I was raving about how easy this combo is/was to build and how I would recommend it to anyone wanting to go Stock Eliminator racing on a strict budget. My thoughts on this haven't changed. I would also like to add that for a small-engined, low HP car it is incredibly consistant!

Hopefully, I'll see you all in the spring!
