Even the lingo is something to learn. I went over to another forum that deals with bracket racing and it was hard to keep up with the conversation. "bulbing,box or no box,footbraking it,ect. I have ALOT to learn but hey,isn't that what it is all about? If you are not learning something new every day the you are going backwards. As you get older,you start forgetting what you have learned if you are not progressing and building on the things you have learned.
Bjuice is right in that I should build this so that later on I can turn on a bottle when I am ready to do so. Anybody have any ideas on cams? I should probably move this to the engine section now. I want to thank you all for putting up with my ignorance when it comes to drag racing and also for the ideas,suggestions. Jim
