Too bad gae didn't have his trailer, you could have used his 2x4 race shoes.

[Ron Sutton]

Jerry,

What kind of front brake calipers are on the truck ?

I saw the rears, but no photo of the fronts.

[Track Junky]

Well I wasn't going to let Jerry stroll through my neck of the woods without meeting him. Very cool to see Greg and Charlie again also. Jer's truck sounds as mean as it looks. :thumbsup:

Too bad gae didn't have his trailer, you could have used his 2x4 race shoes. Gae was giving me tracky cornering tips and i was still trying to figure out how to get in my truck..We went to Wal-Mart to buy some lifts but they didn't have my size..If anything it got Gae fired up to get back out there!!Hopefully we'll take her out in a month or two :bigun2:

Jerry,

What kind of front brake calipers are on the truck ?

I saw the rears, but no photo of the fronts.It has cast iron metrics. I'm glad i listen to you, I'm very happy with my toy..KV is already building me a gun rack :headscratch:

He said he couldn't reach the pedals. He didn't say the drivers seat was in the back seat. :buttkick:

[Vegas69]

That thing is bad ass. Get the seat adjusted and let her rip.

[intocarss]

He said he couldn't reach the pedals. He didn't say the drivers seat was in the back seat. :buttkick: I told him he could sit out back in the bed

That thing is bad ass. Get the seat adjusted and let her rip.Thanks Todd & i plan on it! Been outside getting the seat adjusted just right and re adjusting the belts and just going over the hole thing

Somehow I missed this thread....


#1 -- I was happy to help you out... Everyone on here is like that - that's why I love Lat-G


#2 -- The scenery driving out into the wine country of Oregon was worth the extra effort. I did prune a lot of low hanging trees...and the two lane 30 MPH roads with switchbacks just set me up for Thunderhill... If I could get around those with the 'rig' -- I could drive anywhere!


#3 -- It was a great buy.... let the rest of these guys try to build street car / race cars with wheelbarrows full of cash. They'll still be behind by 4 curves.

If you watch the first video I posted of driving at Thunderhill in the "new to me" Mustang….. I think I was hitting at least 50 on the straights….


And you know what --- I was grinin' ear to ear and having the time of my life.


Like anything else we do - it's about LEARNING and having fun doing it. Every time I go out - I think about how many people NEVER get a chance to do any of this… So just the fact that "we're" out there is FANTASTIC.

That pretty much sums it up! :thumbsup:

I've always felt the slowest person on the track was still having a real good time........in their mind and that's what really matters. They're usually as much or more fun to benchrace with as the fast guys. Especially if the size of their eyes when telling their story counts! :D

[redefined]

Jerry not sure how I missed this thread! Had a chance to drive her in anger yet?

Gonna be fun!

[intocarss]

Jerry not sure how I missed this thread! Had a chance to drive her in anger yet?

Gonna be fun! Yes we had her out, we had some issues, but it was a blast. I have a lot of learning to do "feathering the throttle" is one of them (DAMN drag racers).

I also got to take my truck out on the asphalt oval there for some extra seat time..that was as fun as the road course.

I brought a video camera but no one used it,, so here's the only phone vid we have from the first session
4HaBALJlVHE

On Thanksgiving weekend i got to drive this on the 3/8 dirt oval i got 3 20 min sessions

[intocarss]

Very cool pictures, thanks for sharing. Would have loved to hear and watch those A Sedans circle the track a few times!!

[Panteracer]

Very nice truck
In my Pantera group one of the vendors brings one
out and the driver and I have ran our Panteras together
He is an SCCA National champion several times and a very
good driver.. We go and what we call play.. his truck and
driving skills are better but one of the few I will go wheel
to wheel hard and not worry about bending things up

I have a few videos of the back of the truck.. he will
come up on me and pass me down the front straight and
then slow up so we can go thru the turns side by side
We went past a Cobra replica earlier this year at 110 mph
thru the turn at Firebird with me on the inside and he was
on the outside.. not sure if the Cobra knew what to do

good times.. and lots of rock chips on my car from that truck:headspin:

Paneracer Norcal Bob

[intocarss]

did a little clean up with the toggles

before & after And yes that is a trans brake button

[intocarss]

One of the issues we had was a loss of oil pressure in right turns ..It had an oval track pan and p/u so I fixed it.. i shortened the p/u and made another trap door boxing in the p/u in the pan (a hinge was added after the pic was taken..While i was in there, i changed all the rod and main bearings too

before and after

I also hurt the Jerico

Jer, I gotta tell yah the circle track power glide is awesome. Not sure about on a road course but in anything other than a late model I would run the power glide direct coupled. I was the first one to run one at our track in 96 now all the modifiedes have them. Have fun man!

Thanks. I know it's not optimum for road racing but it should be good enough for track days..Here's a guy who runs one

Back in the 80's and 90's I spent a lot of time out at Saugus Speedway and Mesa Marin. I do miss short track racing

[byndbad914]

I have heavily considered getting a truck for road racing for years as a W2W option because they are just so cheap (comparably, nothing is exactly cheap about racing) and easy to maintain. Will be interesting to see what you think of the PG v. the Jerico on a road course. I figured I would look into doing the direct drive setup with a TH350 to have a couple gears to select on the track. Willow is such a fast track the PG might be fine to run in essentially one gear. That truck with a Jerico should haul on WSIR and they definitely handle and turn laps at levels greater than cars 10x money invested. If I were still in SoCal I would have done the same thing by now and bought a truck to run in NASA.

I too spent many a weekend baking in the sun at Saugus, MM and pretty much any paved track that was in SoCal in the 90s including Orange Show and El Cajon, and then plenty of time at Irwindale in the 00s. A very good friend of mine ran a Super Truck (#58 Scott Calvin) in the late 90s to early 00s and I have dug them ever since :thumbsup: IIRC that had a direct drive auto in it...

Good luck with the project!

[Track Junky]

If were talking cheap racing dollar for dollar spec Miata cant be beat but who the hell wants to race one of those. :lol: No offense to the Spec Miata guys. Those cars can lay down some quality times for what they are but lets face it. We're American Iron guys.
Speaking of.....another great NASA class but once again......if we want to race cheap dollar for dollar NASA CMC cant be beat. Maybe not as much power as we would like to lay down but the reliability and maintenance costs are a bit more achievable if you would like to complete a full season in a racing series.

EDIT: Trying to imagine racing something that only puts down 230 to the rear wheels and weighs around 3200 lbs.

Good luck with the project! Thanks. Dollar for dollar this truck was worth it and is very versital. The PG is just temporary (I got it for a great price) Sounds like we were at the same races back then.We built a lot of engines for those race cars (Hobby stock, Street stock, Sportsman & SW-TOUR) The guy i worked for back then is still doing it today out of Bakersfield. I'm sure you remember Hornaday, Heath, Spangler, Sapper, Hooper, Delong, Phipps, Horst, Harper..Just to name a few

Don or Dean Chase....maybe???? Baby blue 2nd Gen IIRC. This was early 80's they were strong runners at Marysville on the asphalt and came up here and picked on the poor local boys with their trick high-dollar CA racey cars.

EDIT: Trying to imagine racing something that only puts down 230 to the rear wheels and weighs around 3200 lbs.Wreck Miata isn't all that cheap to be competitive; you might be surprised what one can pick one of these trucks up for. And frankly, even if you are dead last in the truck you are likely running faster laps than the Miata in first place :D You basically covered it with your edit, but I would rather come in last going fast than first wishing the car would get rolling. Those trucks haul because they have a great balance and overall setup. The engines have major set back and it is basically a chassis with very thin fiberglass as a skin... dammit, talking myself into one...

Started an 'After New Years resolution'...no more posting about the lack of updates in peoples threads.

I should let SoCal Ron, Rob and Jerdog know I won't hassle them for updates either.

The new PG trans is in, I got a $$$ offer on my enclosed trailer I couldn't pass up, SO I now have an open trailer. Should be taken the truckster out in a week or two :hello:
