    I can see it now ,Mom goes toy shopping brings home one of those electric cars so son when he gets older can be like dad,Dad rips out cheap Chinese electric motor and puts a 24 volt lawn mower engine in it with spark generators and wheelie bars,Roll cage and a dodge stick on coating. You are the real deal, No Bull*hit coated of how great you are or everything shiny, That's what brings me back man.

    The very best slick track engine I have ever ran is a 340 Mopar. It is so much more forgiving than about anything out there, other than the 347 Ford, which was patterned after the 340. A solid 500 hp engine would be an advantage. My favorite head for that purpose was a ported 273 head. They were incredible. They only flowed 235 cfm, but they had 205 cfm at 0.300” lift. That’s better than than my W2’s and better than a lot of other heads. Good run!

    Keep digging, you'll get it Chris! I can't begin to tell you how much my nephew spent running his UMP A Mod over the years, but it wasn't cheap! He ended up with a pretty high dollar Mullins engine & a Pearce chassis. He's now git the last Kate Model chassis made & a Crate Motor. Next year he's going Open Late Model. Never ends!

    Try double clamp, 175 right rear, 150 left, and a pull rod. Probably need a 800 to 850 right front and a 750 left front, tie down sgock on left front and a 90/10 left rear

    Not a big fan of any type of circle racing but good old Chris makes it interesting. More into drag racing. Good video and editing by the way 👍 Curious...Where do you get your sleep on a multi day racing ? Is that nice camper beside your pit yours ? Or that event close enough to home or an hotel ? Or just like I would do and sleep in the General ?
