    We have won a championship there too. Didn't realize dart blocks, titanium valves, shaft rockers were all claimer junk. Thanks for the info.

      This is what was eluded to on the show. Dave knew the plugs had oil on them during the dyno run. Yet he sprayed it anyways???? Did the rings not seat? Or was something else causing the oil to get into the combustion chamber like the valve guides?

      Either way you cut it, Morgan built and Dave tuned an engine that won the race even while blowing it up.

        You don't stay in business 45 years building race motors if you're not doing things right.
        I don't think any race builder will work for someone that tries to tell then how to build a motor. All of them can tell squirrels right after the introduction and get them out of their shops asap.
        Don't worry about what you can't change.
        Do the best you can with what you have.
        Be honest, even if it hurts.

          Seb's high class.

            Yeah it cost some coin. My cousin probably has close to 50k in that car race ready. It's the best equipment you can buy though.

              My neighbors are big dirt guys, the Bob and John Ewell. They have ran everything over the years Bob was a big sprint car guy and I think John runs modifieds. Ron Shaver motors.

                    There's nothing more boring than 305 sprinters.

                      Yes, because they can't hook it up with those goofy ass suspensions.

                        You haven't won shit son. Just cause you got high dollar shit does not make you fast. It's what you do with it that makes all the difference. Any one can order dart blocks, ti valves, shaft rockers, hell even a diamond in a goats ass, so can billy joe bob, everyone's doing it now, hell even women and children, and all of them are just throwing money at a problem they can't fix.

                        I will say the ol wells' claimer I got, It wasn't good enough for the race car, but I will say it was good enough for my ol' 74 Cheyenne.

                            Won 9 features last year. It was a decent year or only running a little over 20 nights.

                              I was tuning and racing street stocks to feature win's when I was 16, your point is invalid to me.

                                We are talking modifieds not street stocks. Get you another streeter and come get some.
