      It depends on the conditions… a really HOT week will suck the life out of a lot of race (street lol) cars, especially your N/A, high compression, high lift motors… the low compression boosted crowd seems to fare much better. I was watching Hot Rod Drag Week coverage and halfway through the week there was almost 50 out… but that event draws a much bigger crowd.

    Safety tip: if you have multiple race vehicles, you should really standardize the locations and types of safety equipment. Last thing you want is to be 'in the moment' and be flailing around looking for a chute handle or disconnect, as we saw James do in Ruby on his last pass. Probably worth sending them over to KSR and having them update the fleet now that there are four regular drag cars in the stable.

      Hopefully they see this, that is an amazing point. When you go 175+ in 7-8 seconds it is better to have the muscle memory of where to reach for the chute than to rely on being able to find it in time if things go south.

      The only problem is he didn't turn the slip in, not until the lanes closed anyway. They were hoping to make another rip. He should have turned the slip in right away, then he could have used the portable lift guy or drove to a proper shop to do it.

So middle of the bush miles upon miles fron no where and Thanksgiving dinner was cooking(Couldnt be late for dinner, I was a heavy weight wrestler, and still afraid of mom being upset if we are late). Do now what to plug the hole with? Putty, my bro had a piece of Plexiglas for a rear side window sealed with putty. Well it vot unsealed quickly. Plugged the hole, poured to oil in and kept the revs up to keep as much oil (of what was left)out if the pan as possible. Made it home in time for dinner. As soon as we parked and turned ignition off, the putty fell out of the hole and the oil followed all over the driveway. "Hell Ya Brother" was that a close one.

That look on Cleetus' face as he feels vibration after doing an 8-hour clutch change in a parking lot, that's nearly FOUR years of fighting against the weakest point of Leroy, and something I don't think they can change, not without the Internet having a meltdown. It may never be reliable because no one will support losing the stick shift.

      I think they are kind of forced to run the slipper especially now that Leroy is on a radial tire. Stick cars have only recently dipped down into the deep 7s and have always struggled to the 60'. The slipper clutch has become almost necessary for these high hp cars just to get them to hook and get the short track down. I agree that it is more troublesome than it might be worth, but I think when you start shooting for deep 7s or lower, it's almost required. Wait for World Cup. They wont have any issue being on a radial there and can get way more aggressive with the clutch.

The issue is the ETs they want to run are not possible with a conventional clutch. You almost have to run a slipper in order to leave on more boost which is what they have to do to get the short track down. Add in a radial tire on these mediocre prepped tracks and its even more difficult to get down. He should just run the slick on race week and stick the radials on for things like World Cup and FL2K.

    Love ya guys. That was a hell of a job to do in the dark. Race week will haunt you. In a good way. Hoping Leroy bites off a 7.5. Hell Yeah Brothers 🇺🇸
