Built a new 12.5:1 406 for my 75 Camaro. Splayed mains, main stud girdle, forged rotating assy, balanced, aluminum heads, built Th350, narrowed 9 inch 4.11 gears. just had the 9 inch spring perches welded on by Al Shelton, Housings sitting on the springs. New spring bushings and bolts just came via UPS. Plus a 1970 RS Z28 split bumper big block Camaro. Too many projects, not enough time. Is that Al Shelton of Volkswagen fame? How's he doing?

We're bulding a new motor for the Demon - new Mopar race block, Brodix heads, roller cam - a dream motor. We bought a 2010 Racecraft 243 in. wheel base to run in Top Dragster. We still have the two hardtail dragsters we've been running. One is for sale, a '99 Gebhardt with SBC. It ran 5.50s at KCIR.
We ran at M.A.R. from '98 to '04, and have been running at KCIR since. Guess we'll start next year at Eddyville. Looking forward to running at MARP.
I recognize some of you by your posts. Looking forward to seeing you again. Some of you sound like you're full of it. Can't wait to meet you anyway.
J.D.
P.S. Installing a Bobs front suspension on the Demon. Anybody running one, or know anyone who is? Good - bad - let me know.

Hey Rim what's the plan on Lil Duece? Going to put Lelands 406 that he built for the car about 5 yrs ago, and probably run 10.7 Index in Vamp Series, and/or run Gateway 10.5 index if they have such a thing next year. May also run the Pro Series Bracket at Osbourne too. Being that KCIR got "dumped". . . to the strong arming thugs called "City Council" at KCMO. No way I can rebuild the LS now on a "fixed income" . ..

I like it! New car, new track. That will be a fun weekend for sure.
blackandblueracing, If this track gets built, you are going to see all of these little VW's get a whole lot faster. But Al is the one to keep your eyes on. He sure isn't going to let any of us be faster than him. LOL!
