    Race Seat Recommendation?

    Just got a Kirkey seat for my track car. Maybe not a bolt in seat but very well made and comes in a variety of styles and fitments. Check them out.

    Pics from the 2012 Carlisle All Chrysler Nationals

    Thanks for the pictures. Love that 57 Dodge. On my bucket list to make it there... Did you take your truck or is it done yet?

    Does AL/TN do any Fall Mtn cruises normally?

    Several of us have talked about a "middle Tennessee" get together and some would like to go back to the mountains in East Tennessee. A great place we have discussed is the Pisgah Inn on the Blue Ridge parkway. Looks like October may be open for such a cruise. We plan to discuss at our next...

    What'd I miss?

    Nope you saw it right. Yellow car 24,000 miles I think sold for $27,000. Looked good and went cheap.

    Traded for a Different Challenger... 2012...

    Oh I am with you and Shooter on that but it was pretty impressive to see how fast they got around - and those were "stock" -whatever that really is - in our HPDE class. Don't know about the time trialer but he was in a lower class than the supposedly high horsepower cars but 1000 hp seems...

    What should AC vent temp be?

    No would ever accuse you of doing anything half assed! I meant with gauges you would see you have no charge. I find I never do anything half ass - I'm pretty much in for whole assing! But come on down next year. I don't care for the Dragon but there are plenty of other great roads and I...

    Traded for a Different Challenger... 2012...

    I can tell you a more or less stock - except for tires - set the quickest time for Time Trials in its group at Road Atlanta at NARRA this spring and not one other car was close unless it was heavily modified. It may have all kinds of nannies but they were kicking ass and taking names at RA. I...

    What should AC vent temp be?

    For a guy who rebuilds steam locomotives, old bridges, and large Dodge trucks you are pretty sensitive. And, with all the stuff you have I can't believe you don't have a set of refrigerant gauges! Do you not want to be sure your beer is cold? I know you don't have Lucas refrigerators! You...

    Traded for a Different Challenger... 2012...

    I was just at Road Atlanta chasing a new 5.0 Mustang (with suspension mods) around the course. The 5.0 was not faster accelerating but I can tell you it went around corners just as fast as my 500 hp car. Now my car may have been handicapped by my lack of skill but I can tell you don't belittle...

    Traded my Viper yesterday...

    Thanks again for all your help with the rollbar etc. Funny, I tried to buy an SRT-8 Challenger but couldn't get our local dealer to call me back and ended up with the Viper instead. I still would like to have a Challenger but I also have an RT Magnum that is the best driving car I have ever...

    Increasing rear brake bias on track only Gen3...

    Curious about your logic here. Seems that using engine braking judiciously (I don't mean long term engine braking but in concert with brakes) would help load the car for a corner as well as braking. Deceleration would seem to be less stress on the powertrain than acceleration as the loads would...

    Someone please forward this message to Ralph Giles and the rest of the SRT Team-ASAP

    Re: Someone please forward this message to Ralph Giles and the rest of the SRT Team-A Boy, and I thought I got a lot of "crap" when I asked for a modern V8 in place of the V10!!

    Viper High Speeds

    OK Mr. Fast, I want to be in the woods on the Dragon when you go 100+. Maybe on the Skyway but not on the Dragon. I am going to throw down the B.S. card on that one.:lmao:

    That yellow car has made him a wild man. He was so controlled with a red car - unlike some of the other Georgia members... You know who you are.

    2012 viper parade in gatlinburg, tn

    The "cops" were nice. The Tellico Plains officers stopped and talked to us on the way home. I think they were looking for the Georgia delegation. Too many red cars. Plus they were hogging the Skyway! It's a lot better to have them appreciate the cars than it is to have them writing you up...

    We'll save you a spot next year. We need a few more yellow cars to keep Warren company.

    Ranch Get-together @ Little Feather Ranch , July 21 & 22 2012

    They were not under the club name but we'll get a block reserved. Rate is $87 I think. Nice place.

    Official 2012 Tail of the Dragon Thread

    Great weekend! Weather couldn't have been better. Best of all no major incidents and everyone had fun once the fog cleared! Ed had new jokes. Thanks to Tim and Shirley and Brett for making all the arrangements. Folks from all over the country were there and, when I find my camera, I'll...

    What should AC vent temp be?

    So did you find a leak? I just serviced a Volvo V70 for a friend and it was 5 ounces low. This after a 9 month period. Out of a 2 pound charge that was enough to get the low pressure switch to turn the AC off. My '07 Accord was 3 ounces and it would cool right - on a 19 ounce charge. That...

    Didn't even had a chance to complete two laps at a HPDE event.

    I am curious about the best way to flush the system. I got a back up unit and have changed the fluid but I would like to "purge" all the old fluid again. My car is an '03 and I have had no issues but I'd like to keep it that way. Can I take a line off and keep adding clean fluid or is there a...

    What should AC vent temp be?

    It is not uncommon for systems to lose a small amount each year - especially when lots of folks don't use their AC and seals go unlubricated. I've fought AC problems for 30 years or more and it is usually never easy to find a slow leak. That is why I suggested just discharging - evacuating the...

    What should AC vent temp be?

    Don't just add refrigerant. Take the car somewhere have the system discharged, vaccumed and recharged with the proper amount of refrigerant. I have tried just adding refrigerant but it never works as well as doing it right the first time. Some systems are very hard to get right and an over or...
