Norwalk is on my list to race at this year. Its only been Dragway 42 and Quaker City Raceway for me. I've only been to the strip twice, but I race alot. I plan on going with my Akron buddies alot this year since in a month I'll be able to compete better.

I figured you went or lived in Kent.

Ever go to Kil-Kare? That's about 30 minutes from me.

I've never done good at Norwalk, therefore, I don't like racing there.

 

the "family friend" I speak of in this thread has mentioned in the past that he raced there a few times, but I have not been there. Where is Kil-Kare, anyways?
That surprised me that you have not done well at Norwalk (if you mean disappointing times). I run a couple tenths quicker up there than I do at National Trail Raceway. And for bracket racing...it seems Norwalk is my lucky track because I always go far there and have even won a trophy in the few times I was there. Would have got another trophy the last time if my transmission wouldn't have locked itself into 3rd gear (i ran a 19sec pass on that run!) If that place was not 2.5 hours away from me, I would be there every week.

 

It's around Xenia.

 

I think either way you go you will be ok as long as you get bolt ons that will correspond with your head/cam kit. I mean LT's and exhaust are a must, RR's, and underdrive pulleys would be ok.

I am keeping my motor as stock as I can and going to do a full suspension with rear end and maybe even shoot it with some spray again and see how fast I can run with that. Then when its time for a motor build, I'll already have the suspension to back it up.

 

I had Lloyd Elliot do a set of heads for me reusing stock valves and I provided the springs. He did the port work and assembled them for 600$. I picked up some serious power with a stock cam. I say do the heads!

 

See sig, he has AS&M Mids [just as good as longtubes in most cases], a catback, 1.6 RR's and a CC502 camshaft.
