ok im back though I still plan to run my truck this year in the 130 and hoe the 150 club in sept. I have the bug and recently added a tank to my collection of hot rods . so now my plan is to run a belly tank with a v8 flatty that I have already built ..I have the side loader trans and plenty of parts laying around. I want to run in the vintage class to start  so I have lots of questions  due to the rule book has not arrived yet my newly friend tman has been guiding me the last few weeks and I am looking for all the info I can get such as can I run a quick change rear axle or not what guys are doing for water boxes and a lot of pics I look at on line I don't see flame out systems is this a must anyway I am new and don't want to look like a fool but we gotta start someware I would love some pics of what guys are runningwell any help will be in the right direction since the only one around the town I live in are all into dirt track racing and not much for info   thanks again chris

Yes you really need a rule book or two. Quick change is OK. Fire bottles (at least 10 pounds, I think) are required. Lots of information on the SCTA site, I think, about safety equipment. Or from Delaware Chassis Works

[Dr Goggles]

My tip would be, unless you are building a show quality deal to avoid the QC. Realistically you are looking at somewhere between 150-200mph, likely the lower end of that and you can get the gear set you'll need in a diff that is cheap, and easy to find parts for. The other issue is a QC will absorb a bit of power, and they're big.

Don't want to be a party pooper but racing is more fun than fixing or paying for things.

Chris, I sent you an email a bit ago with Waynos info. Buy his tank and pick his brain!

[Seldom Seen Slim]

How 'bout I'll tell you what I think I see as what oughta be done (Is that clear as mud or what?).  This sure looks like a build diary instead of something along the lines of safety, so unless you give me the reason that it's in safety - on purpose - I'll move it into the BD topic threads, okay?

[cmursick]

ok so I see I was in the wrong area so I am creating this build diary and will keep my post and phots here.. today I got back from meeting wayno in twin falls Idaho to get my tank so next week we will be starting the build

[cmursick]

I hope you didn't get the wrong type fever from Wayno.....

Check with your "shrink" as soon as possible.

I know he is infected.
