Thanks! Pops always said the most balls to the wall racing there is has to be USAC wingless sprints on dirt. That shit is insane. 410 alcohol fueled rockets. All or nothing with those cars. I spent a lot of my childhood in the Pits and sleeping in a chevy van 20 following the world of outlaws.

we have that in common I had similar lifestyle 4 back to back prison terms & numerous parole violations it's a very destructive lifestyle & as you've said loosing everything over & overI wish i had pictures, but since i cooked meth for 20 years i lost everything. Over and over.
That is true about the USac sprinters there is some old tales of those cars having the sponsors names on the bottoms of the cars they flipped so much usac midgets no joke eitherThanks!

Damn that is really cool. I have never even seen one of those Fairbanks Morse magnetos before today.He was a machinist and when they started running 289s he designed and built an adapter to lay 2 4 banger Fairbanks Morse magnetos opposing each other to fit under the bonnet because there distributor was on the front of the engine.
Fairbanks Morse also made magnetos for the old harleys sportsters & among other things ship engines & some big industrial enginesDamn that is really cool. I have never even seen one of those Fairbanks Morse magnetos before today.
That's the kind of stuff that fascinates me if you ever get a chance go to you tube & look up EJ Potter the Michigan madman although not a car he built this in the 60s & held records for awhile I once read an article in hot rod magazine & was fascinated by this guyHe was a machinist and when they started running 289s he designed and built an adapter to lay 2 4 banger Fairbanks Morse magnetos opposing each other to fit under the bonnet because there distributor was on the front of the engine.

I'm a 6.0 man myself...well mine is actually now a 6.3 stroker from JK and Sons bottom end with stage III Kill Devil Diesel heads, studded, cam, odawg intake, 190/30 Precision Diesel injectors, built 5R110 transmission, 4.10 gear ratio rear and a stage III KC turbo..."says not for towing"...but with the tow tunes I have it pulls a 4 horse trailer and heavy utility trailer with 80hp tractor and batwing mower or a 35' center console boat...no problem...makes maybe 600 hp.I've only had one decent vehicle and I sure fucked that up....had a 04 f350 6.0...I know right lol but dude I worked with sent it in and had it fully bullet proofed egr deleted stc valve new stock upgraded injectors and coolant filter. Got it back there was a stc x4 In there. Canned tunes was awesome but then i got gear heads srl+, extreme studded, unlimited tow and 8k/13k tow studded. Truck was so fun to drive. 60 to 100 was stupid fast. 8000 pound truck get down lol. But ya down hill slid through intersection and t boned a car. Icey and was getting a smoke completely my dumbass fault..... I'll post pics tmrw morning, it's still at warehouse. Debating taking the 10k from insurance or buy another truck and swap motors. Driving a v6 eco boost atm, it blows ass hauling. It pulls it but stopping is another story.
