First time in a few years now that I ended the season on a positive result.
2019 ultra rules are almost finalized, preliminary has 50lbs added on my combination. That's ok since I have been testing 35lbs heavy. If the rules stay as is, then I need to add 15lbs. I've got some great people helping me and the racepak info looks like the goals can be achieved. Tighter converter and slight nitrous system mods may be all that's needed. That and test test test....
How's your heads up racing look for 2019?

Well after Church today I finished up my Powerglide for my heads up car. I went with a 1.69 straight-cut low gear-set, 8 blue clutches in a 10 clutch drum, pro trans-brake, 1500 plus horsepower input shaft, and a TCI high pressure pump. Now I can finish up the oiling system on my 572 and test prime the oiling system and finish up the engine. Finally this car may hit the track in 2019. I gotta get my butt to the gym to get myself ready for race season as I let myself go terribly. Good-luck in 2019.

Not near in the same league with my mild street build but got solidly into the 10's last year in the brutal heat and humidity. First (realistic and achievable) goal is 10.40's this Spring. Pipe dream goal? 9.99. We all started there...it's addicting for sure. Only a matter of time, keep at it !

I haven't even pulled my car out of the trailer . Every time I want to move cars around it's raining or snowing .
Wanted to go with a bigger bore and more comp. 11.2 ish now wanted to go 13.5 but can't bore it anymore then it is .
Might just put rings and bearings and bigger push rods .
Think we can go 5.0hs next year. -8 line , and some bottle valves

This topic seems to require a reasonable attention span, and might be too complex and deep for Fakebook. I'm lucky if I get the car out at all anymore and am doing what I can to make little steps forward....that's about it...I've never tried to be a heavy hitter anyway and am just trying to make progress wherever I can, and whatever I do...do it better than last time.

Sadly but there's way more that goes on on FB than any board anymore as it's hurt most...All the hitters are there with all brands in the mix...You have your normal TROLLS but they get weeded out pretty quick... Understood and yes that is true, especially behind the scenes. Even I personally spend more time on Fakebook than here but when something complex is brought up there, not many seem to wanna deal with it. It's no fun, don't be a downer by telling the truth, lets see more pictures of food, dogs, or whatever etc. Guess it is because I'm old...I still like the old bulletin board format although it's kind of clunky.

No fan of Facebook myself.. hopefully 2019 will be a good race year for us . Hopefully we can keep it together.. we plan on running limited 235.. which for us requires no rule change from the old west coast Ultra Street rules. Also anticipate running MRM N/A 10.5 stuff as well.. not looking for any huge ET improvements this year just hoping to improve on some of the changes that we made.. hoping to run in the 5.30s this year
In the 8s N/A.with Brett miller W8's 5.07 at 133 at 2700lb
