Re: Did I mount my new belts right/safely? (pics)

Thank you for your answer, Craig. I had changed them from the stock belts and seat because I didn't feel very safe with the mid-back seats (neck injuries), but now I feel even more unsafe. :/

Did I mount my new belts right/safely? (pics)

There is no roll cage in my 69 Cuda, as I want to keep it semi-street appearing. I run it in the ET sportsman category, 12.6 @ 105. 360ci with M/T ET Streets and Flowmasters. I had had the original seats and belt, but felt unsafe because of a mid-back seat. I bought new seats and belts. ( see pictur...

Where to buy original vintage race signs/flyers?

Hello everyone. I tried searching the forums but didn't see a previous thread on this one. I'm looking to decorate a little more and I am interested in original vintage drag race signs or flyers from the "old days". I've searched eBay and there are a few reproductions that I may get (like ...

Best lens/pair of glasses for night racing?

I did a forum search for "glasses" and nothing came up. Has anyone used any certain helmet lens or pair of glasses (like the Deist Driving Glasses ) that claims to improve driving at night? Mostly I'm looking for something to reduce the intense glare of the tree at night while still lettin...

Re: First time at the track.....need help

Re: First time in new car.......

Before I make a first pass, I like to take a little cruize thru the pits to get a feel for the steering and the brakes. That's always a good idea anyway. I second this. The first time I ran a car with all of the "standard goodies" as you put it (coming from 11 years in a Jr Dragster and t...

69 Cuda replacement seats?

Hello all. I have a 69 Cuda fastback that I run in ET Sportsman. I'm somewhat of a stickler when it comes to keeping things "stock looking," whether that's good or bad I don't know. Currently the seats are very low (it hits just between my shoulder blades) and since we've just dropped in a...
