Hi DGatzby, Far be it from me to engage too deeply on a topic like this with an engineer who designs hydroelectric systems for a living! I ain't no fool! I did intend my sharpshooting pump gas octane "tip" to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek. We car enthusiasts tend to be pretty anal-retentive...

No Quick Trip refinery? Dang it, just when I thought I knew what was going on in the world *grin*. I appreciate the insider explanation of rebranding. With your company, if what I read yesterday was correct, Phillips 66 merged (or acquired) 76 and kept it as a separate entity. Keeping the...

Congratulations on your new car! I looked into the gas question and found an article a year or so ago that had information on what is referred to as Top Tier fuels. Supposedly what is called Top Tier is an industry standard for quality, and detergent additives, and apparently has become the...

Silverbillet, You are correct, sir! I should have looked that up - and I corrected my post. Thank you!

I can get porno on my display screen? Gives new meaning to the term Red Eye. I might be up all night!

Congratulations, DGatzby! The lustrous shine you put on your car and the great custom wheels pop. I did the full vinyl coating on my Plum Crazy Purple car, and even with ceramic coating on top (all done by a professional detailer) it will never POP with the kind of shine your, and other cars...

Cool website with the calculator. You once posted some photos of your trailer - how you'd modded it to carry a second set of wheels and tires. How do you stow your race ramps? Do you have any width clearance difficulties between the fender wheel wells with your widest wheels/tires?

Not to hijack the OP's thread, but... ...living in rural Kentucky...Mice Wars! I keep old fashioned snap traps and newfangled scented sticky sheets in my detached garage (dogs are not allowed in there to get at peanut butter bait on snap traps - that stuff attracts mice and dogs), plus this...

I hope this link works from Street Muscle Magazine's latest newsletter. I'm not too surprised because the reviews I've read gave the nod to Mustang for overall performance. I like all three muscle cars. https://www.streetmusclemag.com/news/mustang-out-sells-camaro-in-2020-two-to-one/

Congratulations! I agree the gray stripes look really great accenting the black paint. You are going to love your Challenger. Ever have one of those "WTH?" moments? I'm having one now looking at your car, DGatzby's car and haysbusa's cars. I'll mosey over to look at my car later, but I'm...

Sad, These MAX XD Drop and Load trailers are things of beauty! With the optional aluminum wheels some admiring Home Owner Association official might accept the argument these are "lawn and driveway art" and relax typical restrictions against parking things like RV's, trailers and boats in...

yup I’ve run Hallett both directions. Completely different each direction. No doubt for many tracks there are engineering/cost/safety and corner overrun space restrictions, but my starting point if I were ever to build a race track would be to design it to run in both directions. Just in my...

Sad, Both Hallett and Heartland track facilities look great. In particular Hallett looks really fun - and it says they run it both directions. Have you run it in both directions? You are going to have a full season if you make half those dates. Do you drive the race car in your profile...

Great looking Hellcats!

I've heard it said that the first thing to improve lap times is to do the Driver Mod. So I'm going to lose 30 pounds.

I saw a depiction of the new Ozark road course - over 4 miles long with vertical elevations. Should be pretty awesome. DGatbzy mentioned how good his custom wheels look. When I saw them in pictures of his car - how well they lined up with the fender wells - and heard how they could be made as...

The stock red eye has about 4.5 inches. The front lift option for the C8 is very cool. You can tell it (somehow) to remember where it is and it will automatically raise up.

I got to look a 2020 over at the track, and watched it from the grandstands. Looked pretty nice, ran well. The owner told me they were going to up the HP. I like its looks, but it is very low clearance just driving down the road.

It is the nature of life in our modern world, where we move around so much and have so much going on in our lives, to lose touch with old buddies. Someone very wise once said, "Life is a series of sad partings." On the plus side, modern technology allows for making new friends - even if they...
