Ran across that a year or two ago. I like the way he timed his shifting.

[cook_dw]

Its funny to see that because my father did the same thing when he was powershifting..

[janobyte]

Sort of timing, sort of visualization. Really a lost art. Honestly, you just can't beat the consistency of a full manual, but not as fun....until you start breaking parts, lol.

You going to the 19th Annual Supercar Reunion?  It's at Beech Bend again this year.  July 29th & 30th IRRC.  If I can round up a truck & trailer I might take the blue car. If not then I'll just drive up & watch in the blue or green car..  Sound be pretty fun. Private event & upwards 20 passes for the day..  Head over to SYC & look here.

Like to, but honestly I hate spectating, and it's about a 7+ hour drive down. I'm finishing a big segment what I want done with the Z end of the month. Then pretty much going to shelve it until  Fall. Going to try to hit some Gasser meets with my Dad this summer.

Gotta ask, are they mandating c-clip eliminators with these cars?

[cook_dw]

I doubt it..  Its just a private event.  So as long as you meet tech you should be good to go..

[janobyte]

c-clip axel shouldn't be allowed to run. " Nostalgic" or not, dangerous.

Jano..   that's what all the Z28s came with...     drag racing is a dangerous sport .. at times....

LOL, Moser and Strange both make a really nice "non taper" C-clip axle to replace the weak taper pieces.   I don't like cutting my 12 bolt housing flanges    I'll go 9" before I do that.   I've run these axles for going on 20 years in a 12 bolt now, 1.5 60's yanking the wheels in a full street trim 4,108 lbs car, never a problem.

Tracks gotta be somewhat lenient or they chase all the street car guys away.

[cook_dw]

I agree to an extent..  Here are Factory Stock & F.A.S.T. Rules.


Edit: X33RS posted while I was typing.  Upgrade the axles and they will hold.

Yeah I've read those very closely, between the lines    My firebird is built specifically to compete in that.  Want to take the SCJ as that would be a little more advantageous package.   I'm building the Z engine now with  PS rules in mind, with a  couple of liberties.  I'll be back east with something this summer.

yea, I get that.

[janobyte]

Anyway, questions been answered concerning the event. Thought that's what I read previously.

Just to be clear, that car has been proven to not be a COPO.
