Re: drag slick life expectancy??

Couple things to do with your tires when not being used. 1. dont leave them outside or in direct sun light when not being used. store them in cool dark place. 2. Wrap the tire with cellophane or suran wrap it keeps the UV rays from sucking the oils out of the tire. leave a tire outside in the sun an...

Re: an opps on my part! Carb issue

I still have them on my holley 750hp but i got the new aluminum bowls with the big glass site bowl windows on my dominator.
I was driving my nova one day and smelled gas so i pulled over and looked and the head fell off one of the clear plugs.

Re: an opps on my part! Carb issue

I have done it before to.
pull the bowl off and you can turn it from the inside with your fingers.
I was going to drill a small hole and use a easy out and when i hit it with the drill bit it turned right out.
you just dont want any plastic in the carb thats why you need to pull the bowl off.

Body wrap vs Paint

I have noticed alot of the dirt latemodels have been using a body wrap and have some really cool looking designs on them and it is so good that you cant tell it's not paint. Has anyone seen or used this on a drag car? And if so how has it held up and what kind of cost would it be to wrap a drag car?...
