    These cars are fun to watch develop and are a big part of the channel, but they are not near "big boy drag cars"! A Drag Week" car that runs in the sixes is a rare bird. There are very few running right now. If they want "mullet" to be one of those it will take a full-time effort. This is a busy operation! Garrett has a lot going on. A dedicated team and shop may be the next move.

    The original engine for Leroy had the top fuel hoops on it. That's how they were able to run it even when it blew out the head gaskets. They drained the coolant and then ran a 7.86 I figured they were still running those on all the high horsepower engines.

    When you have a vehicle that is staked on your reputation and it’s constantly having problems on a National platform I’m sure it can be stressful. Granted head gaskets and transmissions aren’t really his fault but after a while I’m sure it gets old fast. But the man clearly understands something that is constantly being tested with new parts and suspension set ups is just going to have trials and tribulations. They got spoiled with Ruby just a work horse and a combo that has just worked for them…Mullett is definitely making them work for it

Most of our tuning between rounds was an educated guess at best. We had years of set ups from when we ran the track before, but so many variables. To my crew chiefs credit we only destroyed one engine in fifteen years of racing. I really appreciate you sharing some of the tuning decisions as they are being implemented. Do it for Dale 100%

    Even though we aren't there in person to see this action, it's still really cool to watch on video. Definitely a lot of fun to watch the team working together to tweak Mullet. I'm not a drag racer but from what I can tell this new tranny is much much smoother. It really gets the power to wheels and power to the ground in a much smoother manner than the previous tranny. I would assume that means it has much more control of what the motor is putting out.

    I’m with Kevin, needs top fuel hoops at the hps that y’all are getting into. The hoops require the block and heads to be machined, TKM has mini hoops that they make in house I think, they only require the block or the heads to be machined for the hoop, and they’re bigger than an o-ring set up.

    No, people do O-ringed heads in the diesel world too. O-ringed heads have a stainless ring that protrudes out of a groove machined in the head that puts extra pressure on the gasket around the combustion chamber. Fire rings completely eliminate the fire ring on the head gasket and are your only seal for combustion, they hold more boost but tend to leak over time so they’re not good for street vehicles.
