Hey guys, Im in University City, right next to Clayton. Mine is a black Hotair '84 Ttype w/primer (grey) on the pass. 1/4 (hopefully painted this year) w/ GNX/GTA wheels. One of my brothers has a black '86 Ttype (correction; he took the drivetrain out of his rough-body '86 and put it in his '84). My other brother has a really nice Gold '87 TLtd. He needs a stall convertor really bad too. He is having trouble even brake torquing let alone building boost with his 60-1. He needs to do his tranny too. I think it flares up a little. He is having trouble deciding who to have do it. It would be nice to have it done somewhere locally.
Not many really representing around here with a hotair car, since Dan Smith years ago (before converting), so that is my fuel for sticking with it, even though Ive got a '87 motor on the engine stand sitting aside. Should be able to pull off some head turning #s once I get the motor back together. Had been running with a wiped cam, wrong head gaskets (GM'87s;too thick, probably had about 7to1 comp.), a false KR issue, among other problems and could only manage a 14.2@96, so there is definately room for improvement.
As far as M.A.R. Dan Smith used to tell me about that place. Its a 1/8 mile track right? Maybe I'll try going there this year. Gateway has been getting more rediculous each year with waiting to get in runs, Ive actually fallen asleep in the staging lanes before.
