Happy New Year to everyone from ECIRS/Impala SS/B-Body Racing- It that time of the year again that we need to start looking at the racing schedule for 2016. For the sponsors of the races that plan on scheduling a race please submit them to me and we will get them on the racing schedule calendar. Also don't forget that the ISSCA Nationals and LTX Shootout dates are still in the planning phrase for this year.

So who's car is ready for the first race?
I just defrosted April's block that I forgot didn't
have antifreeze and froze solid back in Jan.
and luckly only the thermostat housing gooseneck cracked in half.
The ImpalaMASTER and DragCAT need water but are READY!

I am ready, just rebuilt the rear with an Eaton Pro series and new bearings.
Same motor and trans as last year but have my backup trans ready and sending off my other stroker engine to get a 30 over bore to make it a true 383. If I get a few warmer days I will get more of the black paint over the primer.

Question?? If when I bore and add 30 over pistons, do I have to have the assembly rebalanced? And if so who does it in our area?
 
#43 ·
I am planning a new cam, ST lifter, springs and thicker push rods.
May not get to it until warmer weather.
For now add an ATI balancer and basic tune up.

Going to run G/PS set up until my new gas tank arrives from Mike Harris.
Then revert to F/PS and reduce weight.

Barry, I'd get some super light weight Mahle 383 pistons.
Jimmy Cox machine shop out my way does engine balancing.
His number is 301.884..

Also George Cox machine in Alexandria does balancing. I don't have his number but I think Lance does.

Barry, here's the link for .030 over forged Mahle pistons for 3.75" stroke & 5.7" rods w/a 16cc dish for 10.5 compression.

Using these lighter pistons means you can shave a lot more weight off the crank
therefore lightening up the entire rotating assembly for quicker acceleration and more horse powers! :)

Can someone tell me the official address for Island Dragway.

Trying to make plans for the Nats and need to get my car transported from NY,so if I get to the Race in June,I will leave it with someone who can get it to the transporter July 22.

I can then Fly from here in July rather than hang around NY for days waiting.


Never mind,found it,thought it was closer,might have to rethink this Nats idea.

Never done it before Norm but not sure what I need to do and the cost.

I guess it could be the First National FanMan Race

I'll be there. Prolly out in the first round as yesterday was anything but consistent, but I'll be there, mostly just to hang! Now to decide on whether or not to try to run the slicks and just not launch it hard. Might pull first pass on slicks and if it bogs too much, I'll just slap the street tires back on. She runs though:)

Timmay! Ya gotta have confidence man!
You got the powa to overcome a shizzy light!
Just dial a 14.0 and let off at the 1000'!

Ha ha, 14.0, nah, but I will leave myself a little room if I get a bad launch or wheel spin. But the air should be consistent, so the biggest problem will be my lights I think. But I honestly do plan on dialing around .2 over what I think my car will really run. Problem I found out yesterday is, there is a tremendous difference from shifting around 6K to shifting around 6700 where my light is. I'm talking like .4 and 4 mph... I'm not going to go many rounds, if any, but hey, just out to see the guys I haven't seen in years.

Sorry boys I'm out. Car is ready. Driver is ready (yeah right).

Heading to Houston on Friday for the Final Four. Won't be back until Tuesday.

Sorry Fred, I was going to wear my Gramby Motorsports Jacket!
Timmay approves of this! But if Nova gets blown out, I'm blaming it on your NY bad luck you put on a philly squad!!!!! Go Cats Go!!!!!

Is there a recommended hotel to use for Hagerstown?

I can't remember where I stayed last year? If I stayed over...?
 
#75 ·
You and Area51 stayed in some craptastic place close to the track last year.

Like Dan stated, Fredneck, has a better selection.

I will be there but I still have not done a dam thing to the car.

Even have a new rad to go in but have been out riding the motorcycle instead. :grin2:
