Hey guys,

  I need a tachometer. The oem one failed, and I don't want to spend $60 to have an aftermarket tach expedited to.me.

Does anyone have a used aftermarket tach I can buy at the track? Or one I can borrow for a weekend?

Thanks!!!

I have a small'ish 2 & 5/8" Autometer Tach that I'm not using. We should be arriving late Thursday evening.  If something happens and we have to pull out, I can get it to Team Sheen as well.

Drop me a PM later next week and remind me.  We've got a nasty crunch-week ahead of us with the Chrysler, so I'll need frequent reminders.  :-)

Which model bender? I might have a a really, really, bad idea.

1 3/4" die in it.  I would need to grab new "handle" for it as I cut up the 1" x 2" x 12' tube I used to use...because racecar.

Let me know if you want me to load it on the trailer.  Too late to make the modifications at home but I can bring the stock and we just borrow a welder.

So a jdsquare 1.5 inch die wont fit. Never mind. Don't worry bout it.


Fishah, I can probably lend you the tach from le mopar. Will pull it out and bring it. Not gonna arrive til sometime friday.

If anyone else wants to place bacon orders, I only have about 70lbs on hand, so itll be first come first serve. 40 bucks per slab

It's a legal knock-off of that design so who knows.

Cool, thanks man! I was thinking I'd like something a bit bigger, but 2.5" is a heck of a lot better than nothing. I'll PM you next week.

In April, Top 10 gridded through the Penalty Box and everyone else lined up at the top of the hill in the paddock at somewhere around 11:45 or so. All of this was done without engines, so get your pushin' arms on.

When the clock struck noon, the Top 10 rolled off and then everyone followed. There was one pace lap under yellow and they threw the green at the end of the second pace lap, which was a couple minutes before 12:15, IIRC.

Is this a real question (surely not).  Girly men need brake boosters.  We ran 7 hours at Road America wondering why the brakes felt so hard but easy to modulate. Forgot the brake booster vac line after the engine swap.

Glad to hear you are getting things sorted out. We're bringing our A game (to B class) so be ready for a battle... for the first thirty minutes or so, and then you can find us in the pits.

The real question is your car fuel injected or carbureted

They went back to the dark side, but when it all turns to crap they will be searching the pit begging for a carb. I won't have one but will have a few adapters  smile

what they should do is have it setup that they can easily switch to carburated.  have everything setup with maybe just a plate covering where the carburetor would sit so they can do it quickly.
