I was at that pull as well. Also saw him run at Indy. Heard the announcer say at least a portion of all those hoses actually did something.

Change the crank to a bit longer stroke. I’m having a brain fart and can’t remember, but I think my 358 is .125 over stock stroke with a stock bore. Easy to figure it. Do yourself a favor and go ahead and get a Dart block if your rules allow.
Or do as the other poster suggested and go to the LS engine. Getting to be lots of aftermarket parts for them.

Just another idiot blaming the tool and not the person holding it.
Nobody blames the car when some nut drives into a crowd, but it’s always the gun’s fault when a shooting happens.

The “farm stock” guys will tell you “It doesn’t look like a farm tractor if it has a cage”. Anyone but the most casual fan knows that anything that can drag the sled in road gear (or faster) isn’t pulling a planter or a plow. Most (but not all) require a ROPS, but I would argue that is not as safe as a cage. Have yet to see skis on any farm stock.

I’d include all the so called “farm stock” classes that go down the track at 25+ MPH.

Backyarditis gets all of us.
I had corn yield from 13-287 this year. In the same pass through the field. Lowest and highest yield in the same pass. Overall average about 20% under APH.

The yields are often adjusted down the road, as are useage numbers. Didn’t say they were releasing bogus numbers, just that they often get revised.
And no big deal, but acreage reporting date is July 15.

They’ll still be revising it 2 years from now. It will change again.

A twin engine modified class was added, not sure what the weight is. Know a guy building for it, and a track judge said they thought there would be at least 6 tractors ready to go. Also not sure what the cubic inch and blower rules are.

I’d say they could easily take in $250,000+ on entry fees and pit passes. 250 stock cars, which they will get, would be $125,000 in entries, figure 4 pit passes (or more) per car. Will get plenty of late models and modifieds as well, some of them will have bigger pit crews, so more pit passes. Add in a good gate, which this kind of show will draw, and I’d say the chances of making a profit are be

Geez. You sound like a couple of third graders. And since neither one of you has seen fit to post your name. Neither one of you has any credibility.

Some have had the same seats for many years. I have a friend who has had the same seats for close to 40 years. Another friend who has had his seats for at least 30 years. Probably the case with a lot of the “good” seats.

Back up girls and guys are a long time fixture in NHRA. Haven’t heard that referred to as being unprofessional. I can’t turn my head far enough to look behind me when I have my straps fastened, even if they are still loose, as I have more of a containment type seat with sides on it around the rib cage. I don’t see a huge number of guys having to pull up and respot the vehicle, Sotheby’s back up p

Mt. Sterling and Salem, Illinois lost their Friday-Saturday night Grand National events a couple years ago. Always same classes at both locations, about 4 hours apart.

Lots of sources for cages, look on the builders page here for ideas.
Personally, I like a seat with the sides that come out around the rib cage, like the stock car guys use. If the tractor starts to one wheel it keeps you moving with the tractor instead of against it. Be nice if you could find somewhere you could get in one to see what fits you. Most go by hip measurement for width. I think mine

Sprint cars now have front tethers.
If they do, and I'm not disputing that, then they aren't keeping the wheels with the machine. Saw several pictures of sprint car wrecks last night where the car was airborne missing one or both front tires. One was a picture from Knoxville.
