I'm not sure why Texas tracks aren't open all year. Seems most close for December and January other than some special events. Should stay open if you ask me. Not uncommon for it to be in the mid-50s this time of year with DAs in the -1500' range. I'll take that over the summer Temps here for racing all day long.
Here is the garage on our new home where we keep our daily drivers. Also lots of room for the lawn equipment, rakes, shovels, etc.
And some shop pictures. We need to make some type of pad and awning for the trailer but for now the RV cover is working fine.
After our cam change, tune and getting the progressive controller sorted out I'm afraid our Yank SS4000 is going to be too loose and is also going to need to be removed and tightened up. We'll see ...

That is a great Stall. Hopefully it will work out.

Well we got Ricks driveline and gas tank out in record time for us..2.5 hrs. Now to get the pumps in, update a couple things and then get mine on the rack. Probably 2-3 weeks wait time.
The wheel well was loaded with rocks..look at the floor.

Thanks you. My wife and I are truly blessed.
I hope that converter works out but I'm afraid it might be to loose and the nitrous combination will blow through it. We love it NA though! Goes 1.50 60' NA on a DOT drag radial in bolt-on form making no power.

Ok, not a C5, even though I have one.....
This is my alum 5.3 coming out of my Nova in my huge one car shop. I had to move the SRT8's and the Hellcats out of the way....😊
I figure at 149 mph and 3400 non aero pounds I was at 800 rwhp.
Completely stock bottom and will be updated with Wiseco Pistons and Compstar rods.
The C5 is hiding in a tent in the back yard......

It snowed today actually. Now it's freezing rain. First snow here in 3 years. I like it.
Our tracks open in March, but most races are rained out. I don't really start thinking about it until May.
Scott, I'm tuning Mopars now. SRT8 Jeeps, Challengers, Chsrgers and 300C's.
Pitt, it better go 8's! 8.50 would be nice.....
