I finally added it up...
Tim Sloan at Sloan Racing Engines built my 360 Magnum crate motor in Feb. of last year. On the 4th run on the motor, at Piedmont, I had a 1.455 60' and ran 6.994 at 97.09 mph, 50 degrees out, and a 6 mph tailwind, air around 50' AA. This weekend, on Sunday at Piedmont, I had a 1.435 60' time. On Saturday, at Pageland Dragway, I ran 6.995, 6.995, 6.996, 7.000, with a 2mph headwind, anywhere from 250' to 639' AA. In these two seasons, this engine has set three national records, won Class twice, and been in 17 final rounds. In 2006 finished #2 in Div. 9 and 9th in the World, 3rd in Rockingham track points, 2nd in the Summit Super Series at Farmington, in 2007 finished #2 in the World and Div. 2 Champ, Rockingham Champ, 2nd in Summit Super Series at Pageland. This engine currently has over 430 runs on it. Sloan Racing Engines also virtually swept IHRA Div. 9 Stock this year, with customers in the finals of every event. Scott Macy won the Div. 9 Championship this year with another 360 Magnum, and set records and won Class along the way to finishing 3rd in the World. Jamie Southards also set records, won Class, and finished Top 10 in the World. Sloan also does some of the work for Anthony Bertozzi's Super Stock program. (Although Tim has earned a reputation in the Mopar crowd, he's actually a Chevy guy, be we don't hold it against him) ![]() Thanks for a great, reliable, consistent, and winning piece!

Thanks to Tim Sloan for building such great motors for us! I also want to thank Tim, Sheila, and Hillarey for all the help and hard work they have done for me (and all of their customers) this year! I couldn't do it without you guys!

Yes duck tape boy we all know how great your eng man is, he can bulid a street/crate motor to run 400 to 600 passes that runs .80 to 1.00 under( the bogus crate motor index). And that is fine if you want to run crate motor and IHRA full time. But untill they bulid a real stocker motor that runs .80 after 100 passes us hear on the real side of class racing are not impressed. Myself and other racers will keep using Tri city, parson's, Warren, Wikle, Bub Witt, Kowen and other proven eng buliders that have fast class cars. I'am not saying Mr Sloan can't bulid a fast class winning stocker motor just we havent seen one so far. I'am not talking t/sa class winner but something A/SA-K/SA where you haft to earn your class wins.

Hillarey I have one better for you. Why don't you put a real motor in your car and run G/SA or F/SA then we could meet heads up any place any time 10000 cash winner takes all and I will even pay for the NHRA offical to do a post race teardown( NHRA offical only because IHRA TEARDOWN is a joke). If you are interrested just say the word and I will give you my real name and car number and what kind of car. No tricks now!!!!

Personally, I prefer my equipment to be reliable, consistent and competitive enough to win events and championships. Being on an ego trip with emphasis on fastest in class and/or top qualifier bragging rights is not conductive to winning events. Somehow I feel that most racers will agree. If that's ALL you have to put on the table, perhaps you should find a heads-up only class.

better yet, save the 10 grand and buy yourself a set of balls, maybe then you can use a real name! besides you started this unsportsmanship bashing due to being either jealous or bored. if you have a fast car thats totally cool but to bash another for accomplishments far greater than yours. thats pretty low!
