As we said earlier, Super Summit 2017 is much more than a weekend show ‘n shine. In fact, at this year’s show, the fun runs on the dragstrip were no doubt the big hit of the show. The staging lanes were full of people willing to drive home the point that their vehicle was no
NORWALK, OH. — As cars and trucks roared down the track, and show cars filed in to Summit Motorsports Park for Summit Racing’s Super Summit 2017 show, everything in the hot-rodding universe seemed just right Saturday morning. But the truth is, the racing and rodding industries will never be the same following the death of Vic Edelbrock Jr.
A sunny Saturday turned hazy quickly at Super Summit 2017—at least near the famed dragstrip at Summit Motorsports Park. That’s because Super Summit 2017 is no ordinary car show. There’s not a lot of sitting around for the participants or the vehicles. In addition to BIGFOOT Monster Truck car-crushing demonstrations, an Autocross, and Manufacturer Midway, there
NORWALK, OH. — The staging lanes were full of everything from stock Toyota Corollas and blinged-out lifted trucks, to late-model muscle and 10-second race cars. Enthusiasts explored the Manufacturer’s Midway. Autocrossers squealed their tires weaving through the orange-coned course. And kids arm-twisted their parents for a $1 pound of ice cream and marveled at the size
I recently bought a FiTech Go EFI fuel injection system for my big-block Chevelle. The engine is a 468ci big-block with a mild hydraulic roller cam, a TH400, a warmed-over converter, and 3.55:1 gears in the 12-bolt. I used to run an 850 Holley. It ran great but always was rich. We installed the system
In the 1970s and 1980s, alcohol funny cars were the kings of the quarter-mile. Nostalgia funny cars provide a step back in time, while still providing racetrack thrills even by today’s standards. Among the many things to see and do at Super Summit 2017 at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, OH, will be to take
Spin back the clock about 45 years or so. If you had an engine combination that could handle it, what you really needed was a tunnel ram with a couple of Holley 660 center squirters perched on top. If you burned corners, a cross ram with a couple of 650’s was the ticket. Over time,
Humor is subjective. Not everyone laughs at the same things. What amuses the Seriousness Brigade at their bi-annual basket-weaving parties isn’t always the same things that make the guys down at the pub laugh on Friday nights. So just take it easy. We picked nine shirts that made us chuckle. We hope you like at least a
Roy Brizio has built a deuce coupe or two in his time. So when hot rod parts manufacturer United Pacific wanted to build a ’32 five-window using the company’s all-steel body and other components, Brizio Street Rods was the obvious choice. Based on a concept by Thom Taylor, the ’32—dubbed the Company Coupe—is the fifth
FiTech Fuel Injection isn’t resting on any laurels after launching the hottest aftermarket product in recent memory a little more than a year ago. FiTech exploded onto the aftermarket performance parts scene in late 2015/early 2016 by introducing performance throttle body EFI systems at budget-friendly prices that prompted other fuel injection companies to introduce their
