TOPIC:

dad got a dirt modified for 1,300$ less motor and trans, everything is complete, ford 9inch rear end.... sucks to be you guys.. ahaha lol

Are you going to drive or your dad?

So are you shutting down the up and coming team of SRF?

actually it sucks to be your Dad, that motor and trany is prolly gonna break him. No way to go around having a fast competitive modified without sinking at least $20,000 in just the motor. Let alone the cost of the tranny(s). Parts are very expensive especially for rollers, then you need to buy a fire suit, hans device, new seatbeltstraps every year, and couple different rear ends to use on smaller or bigger or slicker or tackier tracks. I been racin all my life and it has cost the car owners ALOT of money, especially when we wasn't winning! I tried to get myself a street stock to run at Kokomo, but just driving that cost way to much to rn a partial schedule let alone a full one and my wife and I have pretty good jobs!!! GFL 2 Ya, hope you guys have fun!!! Get ya all the sponsors you can get, that will help tremendously. I had a tire, gas, and parts stores for my sponsors, they paid entry fee, paid for tires, and bought the gas. Parts Store gave us a BIG discount on parts!!!! My Boss retired last year, leaving without a ride for my first full year of no racing (got to drive a couple street stock races) but when he told me how much it costs to just run 1 900 mini sprint, I knew I couldn't afford it. Hope ya'll can get some good sponsors to drop costs down, becuase right now, racing fuel is very expensive and racing engines are off the charts!!!! HAVE FUN is the most important thing, and it's a GREAT time to bond with your pops!


OH YA!!!! DON"T WRECK IT!!!!! That WILL break ya!!!!

its a starter car, jsn... my dads been building small block chevys his whole life, everything is already there, i have my uncle to set it up whos been on dirt for 15 years or more years, dont have to spend much at all, its a complete car less tranny, dad already has a hans device and belts, he had my 2 older brothers race asphalt, but he did tell me he had $25,000 in the asa midwest sportsman car, scott null drove it heres there website the black 62 car is the one my dad owned sportsman.asamidwesttour.com/ thats asphalt tho, and this dirt mod is only 10 years old, raced at wilmot in wisconsin, completely straight too

Is this the car you bought? Pretty good deal for $1200 if u ask me.

im driving it, there still will be srf, i just will be more busy, and i wish jim i wish... i dont think that could be a down payment for that modfied... and goodyear tires suck balls.. hoosier is where its at

I feel sorry for the guys you will be racing against if it's anything like your DTR2 driving, LOOK OUT!

Shaw chassis or GTFO

Oh! I thought you said less engine and tranny. My bad. Have fun GL!

Good luck with your modified Dirt! Fas is right Shaw chassis are good but also for a Mod around here people are more partial to a Bob Pierce chassis, they do well on these southern tracks! Me and my dad just went half and half and bought a street stock rolling chassis and bought our old motor back from my uncle that has set up for 2 seasons but its all new, Dart Iron Eagle heads, Eagle 42lb crank, Mahle pistons, H-beam 6" rods and all that good stuff. I'm racing on a budget too Jason, without the help of my dad I wouldn't be able to do it again and i'll probably still be on a limited schedule cause of work and all but I still can't wait to strap back in and let her dig. I'll post some pics as soon as we go pick the car up tomorrow and get it home and as we make progress on it. Again good luck to you Dirt, Mods should be a fun class, is this gonna be your first time racing a full frame car?

You guys got that right. You better have some deep pockets to race with the big boys. I was sponsered By Whitlock Auto Supply for 10 years and United Auto Parts for the last 5 years I raced, thank god they both had lots of money. I never drove a Shaw chassis or a GRT but I did have the pleasure to out run them both with my local chassis builder Charlie Laing. His cars won me several championships. Anyways I found this old coke cup in my moms old stuff she passed away in 1986, the cup is from Speedways INC it is 28 years old I just thought you might recognize some of the names on it. sry for changing the subject.

dad already has the motor and trans ... he bought it 1,300$ with no motor or trans..... sorry it might be me or you guys, ppl can be confusing sometimes just life lol

im only racing local wisconsin tracks like charter raceway park, wilmot and powercom not some woo series... dang crazy ppl

You thought right Jason,that is what he said lol...could've been an honest mistake"typo" I guess,...hopefully someone else ^ isnt rubbing off on him...

Me? Rubbing off on him? Come on now don't start no crap again. Oh well always gonna have that 1 person. And I may be wrong but please don't be calling me a liar if thats what your secretly tryin to say. I have nothin to lie about on here and anybody on here that has me on fb could tell you, I do have another street stock as we speak its just not completely together yet. It needs a new body for sure seeing that the old one is beat to hell and back and then some...like I said pics will be posted to show the progress soon as we start on it, maybe you should add me to fb and see for ya self lol, I'm not down with being called out for no reason, just sayin

Erik, you shouldn't have to prove anything to anyone on here, especially BLS_3, we all know you raced in the past and we also all know that your getting a new car, anyone who is friends with you on facebook knows, sounds to me like BLS_3 is just one of those ones who has nothing better to do then try to put someone down who's half his age, a keyboard bully is what I like to call them! Quit lettin people like him with nothing better to do get to you man. Let the haters hate bro

Nah Blake I have no problems with Lazy on my end, just don't like it if he's tryin to call me out for no reason but its all good. I'm not gonna get in a pissing match with him on here again anyways its just plain stupid...

and shock its way different in real life... ive been complimented how good of a racer by a handfull of ppl including the flag man at the track i race at

add me on facebook- nick heelein, and someone should make a dtr2 page on facebook lol..

im just a bit scared of some poor southern redneck getting pissed off and become like a dtr2 serial killer O.o leaving disks of dtr2 on the body LOL
