Race Car

It's time to get the race car and get some work done on it. I have a new set of wheels to put on it, what's called a line-lock and a new harmonic balancer.

The wheels I bought from my friend Kev-Dog, he's the brother of my racing buddy Mike. A line lock is a device that when activated it locks the front wheels to prevent you from moving forward. You use this when you do a burn out to put heat in the drag slicks and the line lock prevents you from rolling forward out of the water. The harmonic balancer goes on the front of the engine a dampens vibrations from the crankshaft. I got a new one because I was using a stock balancer, the new one is SFI certified for racing.

Looks like I might to go to a test & tune session towards the end of March so I don't have much time to get the car ready.

Sweet, racing season is coming up fast!!!
