Custer County Mud Draggers Forum

We havent made the last to races. Went camping the weekend of Bow and had a funeral the weekend of Callaway. Now wheat has started so dont know when we will be able to race again.

I think some people like myself are getting out of the mud drags cause they arn't nearly as fun anymore! I have 3 other friends that were going to mud drag but since knowone is changing the rules to make the races closer all of us are selling our trucks and going racing down the strip and circle track! When I first started about four years ago I had a blast for two years then you could tell that the rules were going to need changed to keep racing close and fun, we asked for rule changes and nothing was done so we are done with the mud drags!

It's always fun but mainly the rules I thought needed to get tightened down in the vaccum part cause it sure is hard to pull the vaccum with a small block compared to a big block I think that was the problem we had and its kinda hard to change motors to a big block after I just spent about 5,000 rebuilding the one I had. If I would ever race again in mud drags I would go to mid-states their rules seem to be going in the right direction!

Yeah that is weird, maybe its a chevy thing but by more displacement you gain more vaccum you get, I've played around and found this out by buying multiple cams and having different motors to see how much vaccum each motor can pull, thats why mid-states has different vaccum tolerences with a big block and small block cause a big block will have more power than a small block at the same vaccum, That's why I think mid-states has a better system cause they see this and have mad adjustments to the rules to make it a better race and makes it that much more exciting for the fans and drivers!

I would like to also put a thought in everyone mind about what is coming down the road when it comes to small blocks. It is the LS, Hemi and even the tritan engines. You want to give up any vacuum to those guys? We have not seen it around here yet but I know the LS is just as exciting as the old iron and they are making some BIG horsepower.
