everybody post a pic of there ride

[boonesracing]

We have a real street class here in Fla I thought maybe that is what you were racing. Not sure if you have ever been on dragcoverage.com but If not you can go check out some of the pics on there, Those cars are really fast like 5.70 stock supension & no wheelie bars!

[quick8dragster07]

Here are a few pics of my previous cars, the first was our black 282 spitzer aero w/598 big chief motor, It was sold to make way for our orange supercharged 360CI w/powerglide 262mike bos car. Next was our black 242" mike bos car, that was traded to make way for our new 265' mike bos. It's currently having a supercharged 434sbc in it :shock: We are currently in the process of negotiating for a 3 speed lenco to put behind it too, should be a fun piece when we get her finished! Buy sell trade, thats the name of the game for me... I guess? :wink: BTW the vid posted was when the car had a broke torque converter, it's running considerably better now.

Yikes :D Shes launch'in nice! What your 60ft and et&mph? Looks like its light weight also.My 60ft is 1.41 and 6.7 @99 in the 1/8. But only a 10.77 @ 120 in 1/4. Its set up for 1/8 mile. Should be better with the rebuilt bigger motor. Actually its heavy. All real glass and steel body parts. Not sure I believe around 3,600 pounds. Plus my 280. :D

[chrisr]

Finally made it to the track at the end of the year and made 8 passes. Still have alot of tuning to do but at least I got to knock the cobwebs off.

Nice launch on that cutlas, had a friend had one the same year.
He stuck a 501 cadilac motor in it, topped it off with a 750 holley, performer intake and homemade headers. It ran 7.20's 1/8 right out the box, behind it get this a 200r tranny!!!! He ran it for 2 years and never broke anything, I was amazed
Called it the Cutilac......lol

Finally getting some run time on the new motor. Lets just say it has a ton of torque! lol. Literally it does. This pic is sbout 30' off the line. Not bad for a 3,600lb truck. Still needs some adjusting, but got it down to 3.159sec. in 200' on it's 3rd pass since new motor and rear end. Should get it to 3.0?? soon.

This was my 85 RS Merc Capri :cry:

I sold this car in 05 due to financial issues to a guy that lived in Imlay City, MI. He since then sold the car to some one else. I have been looking to get this car back for several years at all cost. If anybody has any info on this car I'm willing to pay a finders fee. The 2nd picture was the last one taken of car the day of sale.

Your truck is awesome. I love that pic on your post profile of brute-torque to the rear wheels... I think mud-racing is awesome... i just don't know anything about it.


Beast: Killer Nova!!! Love the paint too... wicked car. I have never rode in anything under 10/& some change. It must be fun!!

[TheRabbit]

Thanks Scooter. If I can keep the front end on the ground I'm gonna get my 60' in the low 1.3's maybe high 1.2's this weekend!! Not bad for 3,450lbs (no driver no Nos.) in the mud. If I can't keep it down I'm working on a wheelie bar that'll keep it down! I let my engine builder SVRE, drive it last weekend and he got out of it at 175'!! Wasn't use the G's he said! :lol:

This is one of the bad boys! It's called the Boogie Man. It has a 706 Steve Schmitt motor. His brother owns a truck called Dirty Sanchez. They are 1st and 2nd in the points so far this year in both NMRO and MRA. I'm one of 8 reps for the MRA ( Mud Racers Association) and I tech every race vehicle.

What can I say... that is just badass!! 706 in that platform has to be AWESOME!!! Something tells me you should get the wheelie-bar... you are close to needing it now (based on the pic) & I know you will graduate to that need down the road anyways... the quest for more ponies. That suspension on your truck looks like full compression @ holeshot!!! Could it squat any further????

Scooter, Yes, it can squat a little more about 2 1/2 more inches, but I do need a little longer shock on the back.

706's are becoming the norm for Pro Stock trucks ( 3,000lbs) in Mud racing. CI's are unlimited, but we only allow 1 carb to keep some kind of limit on it.

PLEASE Tell Me that that Willys Pick/Up IS NOT a Steel Body...........?PLEASE,NO?\
Later
G 8)

[TheRabbit]

You probably want find 100lbs of steel ( body parts) in all these trucks combined! Cabs, front clips and doors are fiberglass or carbon fiber. The rear fenders are about all that's steel and their just at the most 22ga. sheetmetal . These trucks are min 3000lbs with dots and 2800lbs with cuts. Most weight 2,500lbs to 2,800lbs and have to add weight to run.

Video from last nights bracket race. I red lighted in the final pair :x :x , but not in this one. However, I did get my 60' times down to 1.345.

where's the weight coming from...the tires ?...or does the class make the car add weight ?.........just hard for me to see this thing weighing that Much... :shock:

The motor, clutch, front and rear axle are where all the weight comes from. Even running light weight aluminum brakes / rotors and hubs the front axle (Dana 30) is still pretty heavy. + a 200 lb driver. Not sure what this bare frame weights, but it's pretty light.


It's not easy to build a Big Block (aluminum block) 4 wheel drive rail SAFELY and get it under 2,450 lbs. Most new rides like this one are chrome moly so you can use smaller tubing and make them lighter.
BTW those paddle tires we get from ya'll. They're worn out slicks that have the paddles vulcanized to them. You put the # of paddles to the amount of HP you have. Less hp power will have less paddles. Some guys stagger them too.

We're having our final points race in West Virgina next weekend. (September 12, 2009. Kanawha County, West Virginia. Fair Grounds)

We're also going to have a Quick 16 door slammer race at Neeses, Sc. on October 24.

how they get them things so clean after playing in the Mudd like they do ?

[TheRabbit]

You can see in the background how many people are in these pit crews.
Some come with as many as 5 or six guys to help.
They don't get as muddy as you think. We're kind of a mix between mud racing and sand drags. This track needed a bunch more water on it to be honest. The more water the more it hooks. (not to much water of course).
BJ we're having a big Door Slammer shootout on October 24 in Neeses, Sc at Thunder Valley Motorplex. It's not very far for you. You should come watch! We could round up some tires for you if you want us too!!

[bjuice]

nooooo lol...i will come and Watch....i like anything like this with Big HP..As the 24th Gets closer lets talk about this more...

as you know already i Met Bobby Dodrel a few months back at Carolina ..is he competing with Scooby and Orsca 10.5 racing too ?

[cepx111]

how they get them things so clean after playing in the Mudd like they do ?
LOL Brian, I was thinking the same thing, reminded me of a buddy of mine who used to run a late models at riverside in West Memphis, Ark.

Sunday Morning he spent 2 hours and about $40 at the local car wash.
Then spend the rest of the week scraping, scrubbing, pounding and straightened out bent body panels, welded up broke stuff etc, but without a doubt come Saturday it was spotless and ready to go.

Only to do it all over agian, man that would drive me insane.

Cp

[TheRabbit]

The way we race at these races it's just wet enough to make the tracks hook. You can make 10 passes and not get very muddy.
This track needed more water to make it hook more.
This is the Heartbeat of America car. It's the only video I have from the race. He didn't place in the top 5. This was the 1st race for this new car so don't worry he'll get it right!

http://s163.photobucket.com/albums/t288/rabbit548/?action=view&current=Heartbeat-1.flv

[bjuice]

Cool Vid !!!!....Looks like tghem thangs just get to Running before they are shut off...


do you have a link or something i could get somemore info on the 24th race in Neeces ?

[TheRabbit]

Yes, it was short track. Only 160'. I don't like short tracks, but it's hard to find very much flat ground for a 200' track + 700'+ of shutdown in West Virgirnia!

This is the seb site for Thunder Valley.
We're still working on a flyer for the October 24 Door slammer race.
I'll keep you posted.

[TheRabbit]

Randy we need to get you some slicks and see what it'll do in the 1/8 mile!!

Thanks Beast. You can't PLAY anymore. Over the last 10 years everybody's gotten serious about racing in the dirt!!
Hope your getting better every day!

Thanks for asking Rabbit. I don't feel too bad considering what all the doc's did. But they say the first two weeks are more serious than the operation. So I just have to make sure I do what they tell me. Thanks again.

Thanks, The paint job is really nice, no engine in it right now, the guy that had it before me was running some 8.40's 1/4 5.20's 1/8. If you go to his racespace "opelgt1968" he has some videos of the car at the track. I have to save up for a SBC now so it will probably be next year some time before I will be able to run it.

GREAT looking hotrod !!
A project I'll be starting on soon is a '59 English Hilman. We'll be stuffing it with a pumped up 2.3 Ford 4banger. A cute little street car and daily driver for my buddie's wife. Seeing what you did using the stock front suspension is great intel for our project as we were looking into using a Heidt's setup.

[DirkaDirka]

Sweet ride. I love the color.

[TheRabbit]

SWEEEET. That would look cool pulling the boat!! :D :D

That's hillarious Rabbit !

I think the tow hitch hanging off the back of the car would look odd though :shock:

Heidt's would be the way to go (IMHO). I did all this with raw steel stock, probably took me close to 120 hours+. I wished I had the resources at the time to use a pre-fab'd set-up.

In regards to your 2.3 - it just so happens I have a turbo intake taking up space in my attic. I can't remember if it's for a 2.0 liter or 2.3, but is set up for a garret T-3 and a Holley 2 bbl. lemme know if you're interested.

Would love to see some pix of the '59 Hillman. - that thing should be cool.

[jerpazz]

SWEEEET. That would look cool pulling the boat!! :D :D

Thanks! It's a Steve Vance motor. I pulled it out last Thursday night. ( This pic is from last December.) Adding a fogger to it. Funds are limited this year so it's only gonna be 1 stage.
I sold the Rabbit and my next truck will be almost 900lbs lighter than the old Rabbit. Can't wait to get it going.

Notice the WIX on the motor and on the shelf on the left. NO FRAM IN MY SHOP BOYS!!

[DirkaDirka]

Ok. What kind of truck is Rabbit II gonna be?? Cant wait to see it.

[TheRabbit]

an S10.

[jerpazz]

Rabbit
am asking this question in an "educate me" tone (am not questioning your set up)

You have a 4 stage dry sump with all stages pulling from the pan, why not from the lifter valley or rear of the heads ?

also - what kind of carburetion will you have on this ?

[TheRabbit]

The majority of the oil is gonna be in the pan and the lines have to be completly submerged in oil to work. Oil drainage from the heads and lifter valley would not be enough to supply the pump.


AED carb running Q16 fuel.

Interesting...
I run mine from the pan only as well, and have thought I was lacking by not having it pulling from other passages.

Other set-ups I've seen (like on nascar dry systems [no - am not a nascar fan] - or formula) I've seen where they have 2 of the 4 stages pulling from ea. side of the rear of the head, one pulling from the back of the lifter valley (thru the block - or down thru intake) and one from the pan... but have also seen like yours - pulling from the pan only.

I guess as long as your getting the oil where it needs to be it's all good.

[TheYellaBrick]

Because NASCAR races are an 'endurance' type of engine activity, they use vast quantities of oil to cool the valve trains, hence return lines at the rear of the heads.

[TheRabbit]

The guy that built mine was a Nascar egine builder for a few years for Gibbs. I'll have to ask him to help me on this. The only way I've ever seen it done on a drag motor is out of the pan.

very cool - plz let me know what he says.

[TheRabbit]

OK plane and simple ( which is how I asked him to explain it to me)
You want to create the most amout of vacuum possible with the oil pump. With only 4 stages like mine you put all of them in the pan under the rings.
6 stages you would put the other 2 in the head and lifter valley which really helps keep the windage down.
Hey thanks for the ? I learned something new.

Thanks Beast.
I bought the truck last weekend. The owner is going to piant it and do a few other things that we agreed too. It would take me a year and no way could I build a truck as neat and clean as this one.
My motor is getting freshened up by SVRE. Once I get it back all I have to do is put my motor and ignition box in and a seat and I'm ready to race.
I'll post some pics when I get it done. BTW guys I met Rudy (Hollaway) this weekend. Super nice guy!!

Nice car. Looks like somebody needs a bigger garage!

The garage was built for a dragster, I had one when we built the house. We sold the house 2 months ago, so everything is in my trailer awaiting our new house being built, and snow pic from just this morning at the new house. I hate cold weather now.

We had a last race of the year in Charleston WV. Not sure how far that is for you, we should be back up there in 2010.
BTW, I've got several friends from WV. and those Hillbillys are fricking hard to beat when it comes to mud racing.
The Grinch is one of my favorites too.

Don't know if you know Thumper or Gettin' Jiggy, but they are a couple of friends of mine. Both have some pretty healthy engines. I was able watch then this past year and I'm going to try to watch them run a little more next year. Maybe I'll see ya at an event. Good luck with your new ride!

How could anybody in Mud Racing not know Jiggy?! lol He's the main one I was talking about being a Hillbilly! He's a friend and has helped me a bunch with my truck. I've got heads, intake, cam, and pistons out of one of his motors in mine.
I usually call and bug him a few times a month. He's always helpfull and good for a few laughs too!!!

[cam67152]

I've been checking out the forum for the last couple week thought it was time to SHOW OFF my rides. (I think I've figured out how to post pics.)
67 camaro convert. 396, 4 speed, 3:73s, ran a best of 13.01 at 113mph, street tires, (my wife wont let me race it any more, so I got another one).
67 camaro, 496, 13:1, brodix heads, roller cam, should be 650-700hp, glide, currie 9 inch. Been working on it for a while now, started off with a roof and rotted out floor. Should be ready for spring just need some paint and a drive shaft.

2003 PT Cruiser GT,, running 12.1 @ 115mph on shake down run. Should be in the 11s this year. I want to keep it above 11.5 so no cage. This is a complete street car, open the hood looks like a stock PT GT untill you look very close and notice the 50 trim AGP turbo system.

Bottom end built for strength, no radical cams (Crane #12) no bottle.

Well while home in NV we also picked up another Mustang for the wifey. Good chances that this one is going to be turned into a street/strip car for her to have fun in too. It needs a lil bit of work done to it so we are not to concerned with tearing into it and putting in a roll cage and all that. Right now it has a V6 under the hood but will have a V8 after I get my hands on it. :twisted:

TS1955
If he buys ANY parts for his new ride from you make sure you sell him a good old FRAM oil filter, some watered down racing gas and some old spark plugs. LOL. I'm glad he's building a new ride, but I sure hope it takes him a couple of years to get it going. Maybe that way I'll have a chance to win a race or two. LOL. I need to call him, haven't talked to him in a few months.

Thanks!

This was the first time I had ever started the motor. I literally put the last radiator hose on just before I pulled to the line.

We were in Du Quoin, Il. two weeks ago, but that was still 5 hrs from Orland Park. We raced in La Porte, IN. last year at the La Porte fair grounds, but that race didn't work out this year.

This is a link to the MRA events page. I'll be at all the races ("Fast Track") except the Transfer, PA. race. We're also gonna have one in Florida late October.

The Madd Rabbit looks great! Next time you are through here lets get some lunch, I promise not to be late again :oops: :shock:
How about the track in NC near Raleigh, anything pan out?

BTW, don't let him fool you boys..........That is a seriously bad ass motor he has in The Madd Rabbit :!: :D :D

[TheRabbit]

Rudy. That sounds like a good plan to me. Steve moved to frickin Texas on me!! Not sure when I'll get up that way, but if nothing else I'll just make a trip one weekend and come up.
This brings me to another thing I've been thinking about. I wonder if a few of us could find a half way point and get together this winter or (fall)?? There just may be some b. s.'n and beer drinkin involved!!

Thanks!!

You know that is an excellent plan. The only thing is I am only back in the states maybe a couple times a year. I might be back in the states in Jan for a 30 day vacation tho. Plus might even be back east in TN so I could pick up my Stang from storage in Ohio. Wont know for positive till time gets closer tho.

I'm game for a road trip to hang with gearheads!
WTH, Steve moved to Texas! I wonder if he moved all his shop stuff as well.....Thats a shame for this area, nice guy that cares about his work.
What is the closest Madd Rabbit will be runnung this season? What about the track near Raleigh, (I think).

Steve moved to Tx to teach a class (head work). :oops: I forget the name of the school, but it's where he went to school. He does still have his stuff at his shop in Concord. He's not really taking on any more motor work, but still taking care of the customers he already had.

Sorry I didn't answer you question about the track in Sanford. They are a Hill n Hole track and not gonna have any flat track races for Pro Stock trucks this year.

Not much close to Raleigh that I know about. There has to be something close. I'll look and see if I can find anything. I will be racing Sept. 26th-27th Cartersville, Virginia, but that's almost 4hrs away. Neeses, Sc on July 17. It will be a heads up quick 16. It by far is the best race to come to, but it’s also 4hr from Nc.

I thought one of the mods got mad because they figured out that my mud truck could out run their car!! lol

This is my brothers ride, 'Showtime". This is a 2008 picture and since then we've put the rear cuts up front, added 39.5" cuts out back and added a 700hp Bowtie. Our 2010 season is is limited to the test track, however, as we are finding out that adding torque surfaces the weak links! We are almost ready though and hopefully will finish season with a few quick passes and a few more turned heads and raised eyebrows!

Looks like a Steve Schmidt dyno sheeet. Schmidt builds some dam good motors. The top Pro Stock trucks in mud racing run his 706's and 632's and they hold the national records too. He also has an 840ci motor in the Modified class doing pretty well too!

[MudWild680]

Yup, it is a Schmidt dyno sheet.
I bought the motor used from him.
