Back to the Salt to Chase a Record! (Plus - It’s a Pretty Special Car 👀)

We’re going back to the salt! Last year, I had the chance to drive Roger Beckman’s and Tim Cox’s Camaro at Speed week. They sold that car right after Speed Week, so I wouldn’t have the chance to drive it this year. I can’t thank them enough for letting me get my feet wet with this last year, guiding me through the process, and helping me to get my license runs in! But I wanted to go back and The Turks had such a good time that they decided they were ready to go back again too. So they offered their car up for borrow and David Frieburger offered his engine up for borrow as well. The car is at the shop and needs some updates and upgrades which will happen in the next few months and then it’s time to head back to Bonneville for Speed Week 2024! I’m so excited to have the chance to go back again this year and it’s really special to get to drive this car. Stay tuned! This is going to be a blast.

    You definitely want a boost reference fuel pressure regulator. Regardless, if you're using the box or not. When using the smaller hat. You need to add extensions onto your bowl vents, and bent them over, so they are facing the incoming air. Make sure you get your reference from, on top of the carb, not under it. But the blow off valve, needs to be referenced from under the carb, being that's where the vacuum will form first, giving your BOV, the best response time.

  • @ZIPCORD

    @ZIPCORD

    2 ай бұрын

    That was my understanding regarding shopping carts too. But then I was corrected by someone wiser than me. A shopping cart front wheel has "slip" where the pivot point is not inclined but the wheel is offset set rearward (or could be forward) of the non-inclined pivot. For it to have caster the pivoting bolt holding the front wheel stirrup would have to be inclined. A bicycle fork has slip too when the fork curves forward. But the pivot of the fork below the handlebars (inclined rearward at the top) also has caster too. Most children's tricycles have slip, but no caster and as such they don't (typically) self center.
