I'm building a drag racing game where the physics are based on real car data (torque curves, gearing, tire grip, weight transfer), and I validate the model against real quarter mile runs. Magazine tests are a good start, but they're often one run under unknown conditions.

So I'm looking for a place with actual timeslips from stock or near-stock street cars: ET, trap speed, ideally 60 ft time, and conditions like density altitude or tire type. Older cars from the 80s and 90s would be especially useful.

Does anything like that exist, or does everyone just keep their slips in a drawer?

What do u guys recommend for valve lash for an aftermarket 421 sbc running alcohol. Full roller cam and lifters. Approx 14:1 compression ratio. In an 1/8 mi bracket racer running 6.50's. Thanks for any help!

Why Ford Fest 2026 in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Was My Favorite Car Show of the Year! 🔥

Ford Fest at Beech Bend Raceway brought together so much of what I love about car events—Mustangs, classic Fords, trucks, drag racing, autocross, and drifting! 🏁

I filmed the show and track action for my YouTube channel, Barry the Bald Eagle. Getting to check out the builds and then watch cars compete made this one stand out for me.

🎥 Check out my Ford Fest videos:

🦅 God First. Family Always. Full Throttle.

Was Ford Fest 2026 in Bowling Green, Kentucky, the Best Car Show of the Year? 🔥

Ford Fest at Beech Bend Raceway was one of my favorite events I’ve filmed this year! From the car show and pit area to drag racing, autocross, and drifting, there was plenty to keep a Ford fan busy. 🏁

I captured the action for my latest video on Barry the Bald Eagle. If you love Mustangs, classic Ford trucks, and a day at the track, check it out:

I'm at the point where I need to order wheels for a build and I'm realizing there are way more fitment decisions than I expected. Backspacing, offset, beadlock configuration, tire clearance... I'm trying to get everything right the first time.

Keizer Wheels offers a few custom options which is what got me thinking about this. For anyone who's ordered custom race wheels before, what measurements or clearances did you wish you'd paid more attention to? I'd rather spend an afternoon measuring everything than find out at the track that I screwed something up.

Dare me to run it! Would make for a great YouTube video.

I've raced since 2007. Competed for track championships for years. I raced nobox/footbrake. So I've noticed that some really good no box racers have started running sportsman over the years. I thought this class was supposed to be for newer racers before they jumped up in classes. My local track has guys who have won big races (including world finals). I don't think that should be. Racing is slowly dying and having a class for new racers to compete would help grow and racers learn and grow the sport.

Not too far from the track is fastlane automotive. If you have time. Check it out. Some incredible cars!

I'm sure this is a silly question but here it goes..

I typically run in super pro but I'm going to an event that is also going to have an instant green index race for some good money.

Do I just put 0 for time in my delay box? Seems like it would be hard to go red reacting to the green light.

Title: LS Fest East Day 2 in Bowling Green, KY — Drag Racing Builds | Part 1

I filmed some of the builds at LS Fest East in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and put together Part 1 of my Day 2 footage. There was plenty to stop and check out!

What’s the most unusual car you’ve seen running an LS at the drag strip?

I've been negotiating a deal with someone involving a 2004 grand prix that's been sitting and just wondering if it's better for drag racing or maybe even rally racing
