The All About Our Attempt at Drag Week Thread

[good2win22]

Man I feel your pain except I just had to scratch the itch last night

[Just a Six?]

Do it the way you really want it or deep down you will always be a little pissed you didn't!

[Scoobum]

Take your time...and do it right. You have another car on standby.

Gents,  thanks for reassuring me that I am not insane for not being insane.

I will update this list as a go.  Feel free to make suggestions; if this all gets out of hand (ie. looks to be a pain to load/unload daily) will start dropping things off the list.

Mike...a question pertaining to Dragweek...as it's on my bucket list. If my car breaks...then I gotta get it home. So the question is this. Can Dan go from track to track with my truck/trailer...in case I break. I know I have to drive the car from track to track...not trailer it.

As I understand it, yes.  Can he support you in any way shape or form from that rig? No.  It is only what you can pack and carry (there is a limited volume), and what you and your navigator can fix.  Impromptu/random support is acceptable (ie. other racers and folks in the pits); but, if it is determined that you have help following you around (or another team was entered just to have additional tools/parts on hand) that will result in a DQ.

That being said, before we leave we are going to make sure our buddy in Michigan is on standby with his tow rig in case we need serious recovery.

Got 93 Truck Stars (http://www.racestarindustries.com/gallery-gm.html) coming in chrome/polished 17x9.5s and 325/45R17 M&H Racemasters on ALL. FOUR. CORNERS.

No, no more murdered out cars.  We bling.

Besides if I want them black (or some other colour) I can paint or plastidip them.

I like the 5 spoke better than the 6 spoke.  Which ones did you get?

The 6-spokes are the only option for the TBSS, as it has six lugs.  If I wanted to invest twice the money I would get these: http://weldwheels.com/shop/street-strip/rt-s-2014/s77b-hd-drag-truck-wheels.html

Or four times the money, some custom made CCWs: http://www.tbssowners.com/forums/2825585-post43.html

[good2win22]

I like the welds better than the ccw's

[motorhead]

Bunch of maintenance parts got ordered for the TBSS today.  Including two new front CV axles because it would seem both decided to start leaking since being reinstalled in January.  Awesome!

[daveismissing]

I like to carry self-vulcanizing tape (scotch 23/70), long hemostats

[TexasT]

Duct tape?
A gallon or two of water or antifreeze?
Four way lug wrench?

[nocooler]

scotch locks, 12/14/18/22g wire, toilet paper, 5 gallon bucket, and a toilet seat to fit a five gallon bucket.
