Winter does funny things to people. All that bad weather, stuck inside, you might take it in mind to join the body from a kid’s ride-on F150 to an ATV chassis, or put a big gas engine on a Barbie Jeep. You might even discover your friends have all had the same idea…
At the Winternats in Pomona yesterday, former NHRA Sport Compact All Motor racer Scott Kelley made the first pass in the new SS/EX class. The class was basically created at the request of racers to give all the orphaned FWD N/A cars a place to race now that NHRASC and NDRA are dead. They’ll be offering the class at all the Lucas Oil points races this season, and some of the NHRA pro races. Cars must be naturally aspirated, full-body, FWD, methanol only, and weigh 11.5 or more pounds per cubic inch. The class index is a 10.20 at the moment, and Scott ran 9.687 on his first hit.
My goal is to provide clear information on technical subjects related to cars, both import and domestic. The cheapest, best way to improve your vehicle's performance is to understand how it works in the first place. The organic control module has a wide range of adjustment, so before you start spending a lot of money to go faster, it pays to make sure that the problem isn't somewhere between the steering wheel and the seat. TechWeasel, in addition to being a shrine to my growing Cult of Personality, is a place where enthusiasts can learn the basics that everyone else assumes you already know, and to ask the questions that you fear will earn you sneers at the tuner's shop or at the races. Remember: There are no stupid questions, but there are people who think an intake and coffee-can sized exhaust will make a Civic run 13's. - Paul Huizenga
