Hot Rods XO/PP Bonneville project

EVERY run spins the tires at some point! As Stan noted, flat spin

 

If u get super low, beware loading trailer or keep set big tires for moving around

 

10.4 will do thanks

 

Flat spins.....bad. You have to go back through tech again and pass before you can make more runs.

 

Thanks Daddy_O

 

That's a good thing, need to make sure nothing is broken or out of place.
Safety first...

 

But on the plus side you get your Spin Pin and join the infamous club

 

The last thing I want anyone to know..

 

Does anybody have a pic of a SpinPin? I googled it.
NADA.
Is it real or just a fictitious thing?

 

Funny you should ask . . .
Spin-Out Club
El Mirage Ladies Auxiliary (Yours for a Donation -– Check Your Toe-In)

 

Thanks Stan Back. I assume you can also earn one at other LSR venues then. And that the toe-in suggestion does not have a thing to do with camel toe. Had me wondering.

 

As far as I know, it's only an SCTA thing.

In our case, dragging the front end sideways at 200 MPH can, sometimes, stretch one piece or another out of specs.

 

Not to mention what it does to your shorts.

 

Just the pin

 

One rear engine mount made today

 

Finished up the engine mounts and installed the bump stops for the axel.
Set at 1/2 inch off the pan.
Getting all we can

 

How is cj, and Steve coming along. Hope all is well. Grate fabrication work John. I liked the stance as was, but if this makes all the difference then so be it. All the best Tim

 

Thanks Tim,
Steve Is out of intensive care and is in rehab doing much better, CJ is doing well also.

 

Happy Thanksgiving to all my H.A.M.B. friends and family near and far.
May you enjoy great food, family and friends making new memory's together.
It's been a tough year but I am hopeful for the year to come to be better

 

Just in.. Steve Strupp is out of rehab and headed home.
Still needs rest but is on his way back to good health

 

That's grate news, I feel like I no these people although we have not met yet. Happy thanks giving to one and all. (we don't do this over here in England.) all the very best Tim

 

Finished mounting the axel and shocks today

 

Laser alignment dead on

 

I'm a little confused. (that's my normal state) Is this section going to be cut out when everything is all setup?

 

Not to be cut out these are upper shock towers

 

Ok understand it now. I thought it might be for axle clearance.

 

The og Notch is enough with 1/2 to spare.

 

I started fabricating the panhard / centering device for the front axel today. I'll post more photos as it comes together p

 

With all that frame structure available on each side I'd be tempted to use a Watts linkage.

 

I would but the dry sump pump is in the way ergo this system is the next best thing
