poorboy Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Time for Will to move up, he has proved he can win at "will". I think a limited modified would be perfect for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL......racevw112, motors dont help a car handle. as a matter of fact too much motor will slow an ill handling car down. clock Will in the corners vs all the others and you will see that the chasis dyno is probably more important than the engine dyno.

Hope you have deep pockets, you going to need it to out run the FWD cars on asphalt. nah we can out run with what we have under the hood ..just some tweeks here and there and some better tires and they will see us ..... randy is correct ..all the power in the world wont help if you cant get it to the ground ...a few years back we stuck a 100 horsepower motor in a 2700 pound plus pinto just for fun ....so bent up this car should have found the grave sooner than it did ..and jessie lead all fast high power and fwd.s for 24 of 25 lap race ..the water pump belt came off and that cost him the feature win ..got to hot and lost power ..what little it had ..lol ..ofcourse he started near the front ..can you say flat footed ..... only thing is this year we wont be racen local enough to find out if we can catch them ..got other plans ...

thumper Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 The simple fact is the team that will have the most success is the one that knows their car.It must be reliable and have a driver that can keep it out of trouble,watch the guages and keep his or her cool under pressure.A good driver can tell a 5 psi tire change because the car is so consistent.You will never win races spending all your time under the hood. I have raced all levels of minnies plus 10 years of modifieds including 5 Nationals at RGS and several open comp 4 cyl races.The most asked question was what is the secret to being fast.There is no one thing.I was amazed at watching the best racers in the South run a couple of laps at a new track,make a couple of adjustments and then go super fast.The secret to dirt is to guess the track for feature time,the secret to fast on asphalt is to have a super sensitivity to get that last 5% of speed and keep the tires from overheating.Anotherwords,the key to success is seat time no matter what you drive.No amount of rules can even out ability.Period.

97car Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Keep in mind Randy when Leroy and you ran together the fwd and cars other then Ford were running the 32x36 Webber carb, the only fwd that was keeping up at that time was Bucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyin34 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Oldtimer, I think ya'll could swap tires and the results would be the same. No offense, but one street tire for the other isn't going to make a difference. Performace wise, street tires don't differ much. Some wight wear better and last longer than other because of tread patterns, set up, and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyin34 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 You are right, I should say DOT tires that you can buy locally. If you want to get on the internet and shop around, you can find those so called cheater DOT's, and I am sure there will be some performance difference there.

Tim Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 tim kiss the bottom of my foot ..lolololoololool ..its was all related ..... OT, I will kiss your feet, heck, both of them for that matter... when you admit that Randy and Leroy did a little bit more homework than the rest of the field. That "fast head" may have been the reason why they were so fast, but it wasn't the one under the hood, it was the one that sits on thier shoulders. Did I mention that Randy ran drum brakes in the rear-end of his pinto chassis? Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will just come with anther EXCUSE to why his car got lapped or got beat.So just to do you a favor just say his car wasnt handling right or yeah your tires were better or the driver was doing what they had to do.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
