Whats everyone doing this off season to get ready or step up for the upcoming season.

I just freshened up my motor. I had the nose hung in the trailer so 1, I can protect it better for obvious reasons & 2 to make room for a golf cart. I purchased a K&R wiring kit to upgrade the wiring in the car. Having nose repainted & I'm trying to upgrade in the motor home dept, retiring my 88 Bounder if I can swing one.

Gary,

Does someone make a kit to hang the nose in the trailer or was it 5 trips to the hardware store?

I sold my Stocker and should be picking up a Racetech 4-link dragster in a week or two. S/C and bracket racing locally probably more than anything else.

New Apt, New Truck, New Trailer, New 4 wheeler. Rebuilding the cavalier motor, corvette motor is coming together. The firebird and nova are put away for winter till next year, ready to go. Mostly bracket racing this year, but we might try to hit a Div. We will see where we are at in points locally and what the money situation is.

Gary,

The company is BISA and they are located in Las Vegas, NV. The contact is Mike Flake and the phone # is 800-767-2472 ext. 3. Mike has been great and the insurance policy is definitely worth it.

New motor is in the car as of today.. YEAH!!! new Hoosier Tires, Wired the trailer with lights and outlets and put in the front plug on the trailer to power it up. Did all the hard stuff last year.

Gary another insurance company is Gulfway Motorsports Insurnace out of Florida, it is run by Mel Eaves IHRA Prostock and ProMod Fame.
He gave me an GREAT deal. Covers the car all the time except on the track, it is covered in the pits and return roads. Trailer and all the tools, plus spares parts and scooter and generator. you tell him the value and he will tell you how much for full year.
His number is (727) 863-5451
