Where's a good place to parts from like the fire proof shifter boots and the wheel covers or disks
new to land speed racing

welcome to the LSR forum. 1st what type vehicle / class do you want to run. Helps with parts selection. 2nd.Where do you live also helps with parts and location of someone close to help guide you along.

The advertisers in the rule book are the best place to start.
Wheel disks are from Moon.
Sending your existing shifter boot to any of the chute builders will give them the measurements to replace it with the same fireproofing methods and materials used for shroud lines and belts. :wink:

Yo Stratman -
Is that as in Fender Strat? I'm an old rock&roll drummer and lousy bass player, and am always looking for people to play with.
But besides that, I'm in Wilmington NC and race and work at Maxton. Like you, I used to drag race, but I've given it up for LSR. Mostly, I like the people better! That was me in the ground-pounding '78 Camaro w/6 cyl. Drop me a note and we'll talk. I started about a year ago and am having a ball. I suspect we can find several classes for the Mopar. Remember, in LSR, engine mods don't matter. What counts is displacement, body type, and whether you have a blower or N2O. Gotta tell you, that's one of my favorite cars of all time - I LOVE that body style.
When I say "work at Maxton" - I'm the Volunteer Coordinator. If you'd like to come work a race, let me know and we'll schedule you in. Most of the jobs are fairly easy, so it's no big deal to get trained up.
Have fun

Hey Stratman!
I wrote you back a nice note, but I can't get the forum to send it on to you. I'm on a MAC, but this usually works. Email me at stokes_dan@yahoo.com and we'll try it again.
Later
