I'm 50/50. It's a Whipple truck with some suspension mods, but it's red. I might just keep waiting on the right True Blue truck.
Weekend Plans?
- Thread starter Smooth
- Start date
As I mentioned, my 4 year old nephew Christopher (he will be turning 4 Christmas Eve) competed in the annual Halloween Howler Power Wheels race at one of our local tracks this past weekend.
Last year (youtube link in my quite above) he smoked the competition and easily took first place.
This year we were all a bit more worried. We used different tires, and brought a third battery (36v!) just in case we thought it was needed.
There was one other car that looked like stiff competition (the gray Lightning McQueen car in this year's vid, below). We sent someone from our group over to snoop around a bit, and he ended up talking to the driver (about 5 years old). He said "I have 2 batteries, I already won 3 races and today will be #4."
We regrouped and considered adding the third battery, but opted not to due to the damp track. We figured Christopher would just spin off the line with all that juice.
Anyway, here is the result of this year's race.
I have a couple vids on my phone I'd love to share also, but dont know how to upload them to the site.
May put the 5.0 up this weekend. Have wheel well liners to install in the truck. Notre Dame football Saturday. Not sure what else yet.

Looks like the rain is going to hold off with the temps in the mid 40's going to US 131 for their last track day. I will be running the '18 Challenger R/T looking for a 12 second pass. Only was able to get 1 clean run in a few weeks ago easing into the gas so it wouldn't spin on 87 octane and ran 13.15. I have 93 in it along with 2 different size drag radials to try. Also will try pulling the air filter on a some runs. It is test and tune and I'm looking for DATA!
The news this morning said yuos guys was getting hammahd.I think it's supposed to ****ING rain AGAIN this Saturday!!!!
I want to drive my car. Hopefully this Sunday if the weather cooperates and the roads are dry.
Supposed to staht raining here very soon. I'm debating takin' the Terminator out for one last drive and then putting it to bed for the Wintah. It doesn't look like we'll see the sun for the next week and it's gonna be off and on rain/snow.
Tomorrow, weather permitting, is a private track rental and my 12 year old gearhead daughter is coming with me. We have about 90 cars signed up so it should be a blast. Cold and rainy here now but supposed to stop very soon and be dry through Sunday with a high near 60. Fingers crossed. I’m running the GT hoping for a sub-12.5 run. Ran 12.76 before the time none stock. Stock tire tune-only car. My buddy is bringing his ‘69 Scrambler that has run 12’s with a previous owner so he’s hoping to work into the 12’s with it. First time at the track with it for him.
Yeahhhh buddy!
I'm so sick of this weather!! lol Sucks out your way as well I see.
Bad ass car!
Thanks Tones - he has always liked the Scramblers and finally found a solid driver that just so happens to have been raced for many years. So he cleaned it up and is bringing it out of retirement. I’m looking forward to seeing it in action.
Also hope my tune and limiter being raised helps my ET. No more bouncing off the limiter at the stripe!
Next year my ‘66 will be track ready. That’s when the fun really starts!
I want to know more about the SC/Rambler!
UGA vs KY. College football season.

Welp, because comcast sucks I can't work on my project that I'm supposed to present on Tuesday and have football on in the background while doing it.
Currently trying to work on python code without help from the internet
