Yea much less difficulty getting a +7k lb truck with +600tq to run slow, than say a similarly powered Fbod.

As I said, valve seals need to be done, I have them I just need to do the job. I wanted to be sure it wasn't the bottom end causing the smoke before getting into what was a very clean set of heads. If I do the seals before the meet, it will see the track if the motor has enough mileage on it. If the motor doesn't have enough mileage on it, I'm not tracking it period. But I had it at Cops and Rodders in Hackettstown, which is over 30 miles round trip. Ran all the way down and back with hardly any complaints. In fact it romped up 517 at 60 til we ran into traffic. I don't see a reason why I shouldn't have it there after that. Unless by some miracle the 84 is done. I'll definitely do the seals this winter though. It won't be driven much then.

maybe. well see if I can get my starter fixed in the two days ill be back in town before the meet.

i will be there with my 67 camaro and friends 69 firebird

I'm a maybe.....trying to get the day off of work.

What is needed to run a street car?
Just a helmet?

Pants (jeans are fine) and a helmet that fits the DOT requirements would be good enough for you. Power adder cars need a firesuit.

Roll cage/bars based on ET

There are more rules but those are the basics.

Safe to assume Island rents helmets?

What if your car runs a 14+ sec 1/4 mile and has a factory turbo Anti RIce Guy??

Thanks a bunch!!

going with papa dukes to diesel nationals
have fun guys

fire suit is necessary for aftermarket power adders

Not true good sir. You do not need the full suit (jacket,pants,shoes). You just need the jacket unless you are running pretty fast (pretty sure its 10.0 but dont quote me on that).

Also any cars/trucks that come from the factory with a turbo/blower and are still using that factory part do not need the jacket...

I might be down if I have the bird ready. If not I do need to see what time I could get with the new jeep.

Really dude?

So I need to have a suit on to race??

I tailored the rules for this forum specifically. None of our f-bodies (nobody has a ZL1 or turbo t/a that they're bringing) came with a power adder, thus the need for firegear.

Yes but occasionally then run out. Probably not the case on Saturdays though. More of a Friday/Sunday thing.

Yes, and a tie too. :laugh:

Bow tie, ala Bond, James Bond.

I picture Matt more of a bolo tie guy!

so you cant race a non fbody at island????

Plz help guise!

You should fill your bed with water and let nickapedia run 13s with you on his ski :lol:

You can race jetskis at island???

I've seen snow mobiles run...........among other random things.

sweet!!! I wanted to find out what the jetski would do the 1/4 in, count me in!!

Do I need to wear a life jacket though or is the suit good enough??

That would be epic.......so freaking epic.
