    S197 The return of Celeste

    Such a cool story!I65 going north out of Nashville ... honestly as you get closer to Bowling Green KY speeds really pickup. I was cruising at 105 once with all sorts of cars, minivans included and I'm like what the heck, kinda bonkers. Speeds increase heading south on I65 as you get close to...

    S197 DeepImpactBlues

    Oh, so I thought these were some extra steel fenders that you (or someone else) worked over. Are these aftermarket fiberglass or something?

    S197 DeepImpactBlues

    The radiused vent corners look better and go with the S197 body style better imo. The sharp angle is more S550. This will be tough to get "juuuuuust right". I'd hang and fender and step way back to get an idea of the proper radius... That's if you're thay picky (I am). Still really cool and I've...

    S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here?

    NASCAR is now 100% spec car, saw that first hand when we toured Penske and the guys who've been there 20plus years just can't believe it's come to this. They can't fabricate anything! But there are still very cool jobs in those mega race teams.Funny, my Dad wrenched on a Winston West eons ago...

    S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here?

    Skip the midwest, been there done that (so sorry Mr Pemberton, no disrespect meant, I would love to visit your track though). Unless you want to buy a 360ci winged sprint car! :cool:Here's my suggestion after traveling the country visiting engine builders for 15+ years, which has felt like...

    What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?

    I put in an ACT twin disc and love it. Saved weight too. You can check out my build thread for weights and pictures.

    More awesome news out of DC

    @TeeLew It's definitely not a good use of government money. But who can stop them. So all I'm saying is why get mad. The ship is going down, can't stop it.Yeah, EV's are all fine, if they aren't government mandated.

    More awesome news out of DC

    @TeeLew I'm not joking and you're not wrong.The high speed train that was just completed between Orlando and Miami, and the one finally being built between LA and Las Vegas. Yeah baby! Build more! It puts regular people like you and I in business as they spend some of that money. Our...

    More awesome news out of DC

    I just wish the government would hurry up and build high speed trains so all the people who don't want to drive and shouldn't drive ride those trains and it opens up the roadways for those of us who like the feel of a steering wheel, a skinny loud pedal, powerful brakes (that don't regenerate...

    S197 First Fun Car

    That same day I decided to install the Steeda Xtended lower ball joints, the Maximum Motorsports Bump Steer kit, and adjust the front anti-roll bar so it's as close to parallel as possible to the lower control arm pivot. 3 changes at once, oh boy. I had the car professionally aligned and it...

    S197 First Fun Car

    I've been dealing with random and odd issues happening during "spirited" driving where the Air/Fuel Ratio goes all wacky lean, the check engine light flashes, the engine misfires and is low on power, but will still pull, and then it settles down returning to normal 14/1ish A/R and drives great...

    Ponies in the Smokies March 18-23 2024

    I would think twice before driving even a few hours out of my way for this road. It's fun and you don't have to rocket ship the limited straights, it's all about trying to maintain the 30mph speed limit in the hairpin corners and a lot of them are properly banked. It's definitely a fun road, but...

    Ponies in the Smokies March 18-23 2024

    We drove all over the Smokies and found some amazing roads including the drive over to Cherokee. The Dragon didn't have any "oversight" this time! It was great to meet you and I hope did well in the King of the Smokies challenge! I hope to come back next year and actually participate!
