[Finalist] [22 BO] RCG Sears Racing

@Rustbucket Garage I agree I think that the diamond plate would look pretty minty I actually had electric outlet covers in place of my headlights on my suburban.

We got some track time in learned a few things. Made some changes a bit after this video. Will get some follow up pics posted soon.

Just a few pics from race day and pregame light check.

Been a ton of little updates. This being the biggest one.

Had to stretch its legs a bit.

Well we finished out the season yesterday. Will be doing a final follow up video on it in the next few days. Thanks for those who followed along and hope it helps others.

Video to finish out the season. Got a bunch to sort out to improve it for next season. But build off wise I think this finishes it for this year.

[adm]I'll take that comment as "complete".[/adm]

[mod]You are pre-qualified complete.  You have mentioned it.  Please re-post your Final pictures so I can post for the Vote and the competion video between now and Nov 30.[/mod]

Thanks Neil, @RCG for competing!

[adm]@RCG, your topic is back open for posting! I have copied it to the Drag Tractors projects section! [/adm]

Build update:
If Ice racing happens I will change up the steering a bit and run it around for the giggles of it.

Dragster wise:
Basically I have maxed out what I am allowed to do in the rules of the Thunder Valley Mower Racing and want to take it to the next level. We clocked it out on GPS at 45 to 48 mph at Unity Raceway and Union Fair ground. Stock Duromax 440cc 18hp turning 6200 rpm with jetted stock carb and straight piped exhaust. Next level would be a real Dragstrip. There is an 1/8 mile drag that has a every other Sunday Test and tune. Goal is to get the $300 in safety gear required and take it there to set a base line. Then do progressive upgrades before each test and tune to see what makes a difference.

Making new friends and exploring new places.

LOL, saw the video earlier when you released it.  Looked to be doing pretty good even though you didn't make 3rd.

She sounds narsty dude I like it! What was up with the carb, had to fatten it up a touch?

The original gas tank keeps randomly flaking off crap inside. Its why the machine has 2 gas filters.
On a side note: They never made jets big enough to run this engine on the stock carb when I built it. NR Racing now caries jets up to the drill size I used in my video
