Thank you for the lesson I appreciate you all

Man brings back my early 20s whit the 2×4 blocks . Used to work on Robbie Farr sprint car when he came over from Australia and his dad's car.

I used to race a dirt modified & used a block of wood cut to desired height the technology has gotten better love the tutorial

Thx, I have to say I just found your channel & it's great. No I'm not a driver however I love to learn how everything works. I come from a drag racing background but Sprint Cars stole my heart ! One thing I really don't understand is the "Jacobs ladder". If you can do a video on that please. Thank You.

My cars were Cook and Henchcraft. Back in the day......we had wooden blocks, put 12 gallons of fuel in the tank, had 12" of stagger, and ran the torsion bolts in till they touched. the worst part was that we didn't have those cool Harbor Freight aluminum jacks!! I love mine!! I gave my Dad one of those jacks for Christmas a few years back. He takes it everywhere!! {just in case}.

Good stuff Billy. I was out for the National Open to shoot for Speed Sport and went to see several shops. Maybe next time I can pop over for some photos and conversation with you and Danny. - Jeff

Thank you for this video! Can’t wait for more informative videos! Noticed your Pennsylvania accent when you say “block” all of my family members from western PA say block the same way….

Great video series Whats the benefits of the 1 "raised rail chassis ?

Why raised rail? I’m guessing to accommodate some ground clearance on wing-over but what is it really, Bill? Thanks!

You are exactly right! Raised rail. Originally the chassis’s were built “level” , if sat on a table the chassis sat level left to right. Over the years and as the cars started going fast the wing would force the left side of the chassis down to the point of contacting the ground. (Bottoming out). The solution was to shorten/raise the rail) the entire length of the left side bottom. Now known as a “raised rail”
