    My money is on you Tim this year in the V/S category, 296ci with 4-2's in a light weight T is going to be fast as long as you don't miss a gear LOL. My coupe is just too heavy to be competitive, I usually make it to middle of eliminations then get taken out by a roadster or this Sports Rod thing, that is why I am getting my '32 Roadster ready for 2021, See you at the Ranch!!

    Looks like the engine swap paid dividends :)

    Any thoughts on why a bunch of them at launch "squat down" quite a bit in the rear and spring back up?

  10. Open drive line. Mine doesn't do that because I still have the torque tube and radius rods, can't wrap the axle up.

  23. Can't believe I didn't add anything about the 2021 RPM Nationals. That was months ago and the hype has died down a bit. I wont say much about it as I didn't come out on top this time, made it to the finals though. Here's some pictures.
