BackMotor Funny Car

Not even had a chance to diagnose the car yet... If we are closed here at the Dragstrip for another couple weeks, I'll have time to get it fixed up !! Glad to be out of the Tampa Florida area, as they are extremely hard hit by this Virus

Take care, Mike.

Spent some time with the BackMotor funny car's brakes... Checked & tested everything, and survey says... Stuck check valve for front brakes !! Could not blow thru it in either direction, tapped and banged it around, eventually freed up, but don't trust it now. Top pic is the offending 15 year old check valve, 2nd pic is a care package from Larry Jeffers Race Cars, that arrived today, will install and bleed system tomorrow

We did land a couple new Sponsors !! Southern Bank joined us in 2024, and has since re-upped for 2026 / 2027 !! Larkin Truck Beds joined us this year, Chase and his Dad Chad, have been instrumental in getting me and the BackMotor funny car back to the track !!
