So how bad is the "no prep" traction at this new track? Or do you care?

Rick there was a little rubber on the track. I spun, but its not like on ice, plus Im not putting down 1500 plus HP. Track temp was good too. No Prep is about power management and driving skill. I would never put my car in that situation.

Hay there this is Skyler Hawkins And i was wondering if you knew were I could get the front roll pan in the profile picture from. I have a 56 Chevy and I sold it in the early 2000 to my uncle but last summer i bought it back. It used to have a roll pan on it just like the one in you photo but when I got it back it didn’t have one on it. I really like they way it look with one on it but can’t find any and was woundering if you knew were to get one or who I can have make one thank you - Skyler Hawkins

Welcome aboard! Check with Scott's Hotrods. They build fiberglass bumpers for the 56. You might be able to get them to build you a one-off or, possibly modify a bumper. FFT

Back to the racing at Ferris. Saw where they were scheduled to have an IHRA sportsman race this month, but they postponed it because all the construction is not complete.

That no front bumper/painted lip setup has a menacing grin that I'm in love with.

Yes it changes the look of the car. Kinda gives it a concept look

Rick the track was supposed to open up way earlier but yes weather postponed it. I spoke with Gaylon Smith at the Dallas Autorama about it. Its a great facility have to come check it out.

Awesome car. I don't always like tri fives without front bumpers but yours certainly pulls it off well!

The fiberglass filler looks better on the 56 than a 55. I run against a guy with one on his 55.
