Yes quite a few trains, and I do have 1 HO brass Hudson by Westside. total collection over 1500 pieces.

Good to hear from you Wifey, my favorite shifting fan!

Good to hear from you, I was on the USS Ranger CVA-61, carrier. 1966-1968, Radarman 3rd class, Navy reserve. HO trains not quite as collectable as Lionel and America Flyer toy trains. A lot of mine are from the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's and 60's. If you have Brass engines they can be expensive. all...

Thanks Ronnie, always good talking to you

Just so all of you know I haven't forgotten about my Viper buddies. The truck is in the shop, leaking power steering line, plus the CTSV engine build, restoring a 73 SD-455 Formula, 1 of 43, very rare, also finishing up a 2000 SLP Firehawk 430 inch LS1 with Mast 295 heads, and a Harrop...

[QUO TE="ARRESTmeRed04, post: 1326037, member: 2894"]Just give it a little shot of giggle gas....:cool: Good to see you are still on the forum. But I am stubborn and refuse to use a power adder....75 year old grampas are like that. Going to try E85 and go to Sacramento for cool weather and...

Trainman is considering converting to E85, has any one had any dyno results on an NA engine, no power adders.? I will then use C85 at the strip.

So not much good news for the day. Got there at 10:15 in the morning, started switching the tires, but since we only had one helmet to share I told my daughter to run first. while she was in the staging lanes , about 11: 45 there was a bad wreck, pro mod style car hit the wall and rolled three...

Thanks Wifey.....I'll be trying to beat my best 1/8th mile of 7.20. I have no idea how good their starting line prep is, I have never ran at Irwindale.....

So, Irwindale was rained out on the 23rd, it has been moved to the 30th, next Saturday. Stay tuned for results.

Lets try this again, any So Cal SRT-10's want to meet at Irwindale, 10Am for a test and tune day. SRT-Brad will be ther to film, I think Rick from Phoenix is coming to watch. My daughter will be there with the 6speed Hellcat and I will try yo be there with the 10. I have a can of MS109 ready...

It didnt go so well. I will explain. we had about a 120 mile drive to Irwindale. after about 110 miles we were on the 210 Freeway by Pasadena when my daughters shifter came loose in the 2019 Hellcat 6-speed. She had replaced the factory one with an aftermarket short throw (Barton ) shifter. I...

Sorry guys, just found out that NO spectators will be allowed, only the registered racers and up to 5 crew members.

Hey SoCal friends, Trainman will be at Irwindale Raceway this sunday Aug. 9 at 10 am for a test and tune. My daughter is wanting to race the Hellcat Challenger and I will be there with the Viper truck. Hope to see some of you there.

So not the best night to race, temp that day in Bakersfield was 107, Track opened at 6 pm, racing started at 8 pm, at 10 pm it was still 102, DA at the track was at 3900+ feet and was down to 3600(3596 to be exact) , at midnight, My best run of the night was 11.41 @ 125.92, corrected time...

You are probably right about normal pickups, but these are Viper powered sport trucks, with a lot of them used at the 1/4 mile. Just my personal experience the truck was much more responsive with the aluminum flywheel. Even before I started taking weight out of the truck, it felt more responsive...

Good that you got the aluminum flywheel....CaptnCrash is 100% wrong. Years ago when my truck was pure stock I switched the factory flywheel to an aluminum with a centerforce clutch, truck was more responsive and with headers and tuning I could be driving in 1st gear and just punch it and break...
