  1. Let's get a thread going about what kind of power tools a shop should have and what you've used. I'm looking at adding a drill press and bench grinder to my shop, just not sure on the brand/style. These things seem to go from zero to crazy expensive really quick. Looking at a WEN drill press but need to see more reviews about how they do with metal. Bench grinder I've found a few on Amazon that are in the 3/4 range.
  2. Power management, tire tech, good track prep.
  3. With as much shit that could go wrong I don't blame him one bit. At the last big radial tire race a car broke a u-joint and it got launched through the floor, into the car, and went out the side window...
  4. This car has been impressive since its debut and seeing it on the dyno is just nuts. https://www.dragzine.com/news/mind-blowing-video-andrew-alepas-corvette-cranks-out-5235-hp/
  5. Thanks for the info. Right now it appears we just have one of those single stage whole house filters before the softner and that thing gets dirt bag dirty quick.
  6. I already had the zinc/aluminum rod on the way and swapped that out last night and today there were no issues with the smell of the water. I've read that for some this solves the issue for good, others it doesn't. Now I know we don't have a really bad hard water issue because dishes look spotless and there's no film on anything in the shower. What system did you get exactly for the water softener? I might try one of the filter systems since those seem to help and are a little cheaper. If that doesn't fix it then I'll look at the water softener too. Thanks everyone for the input, this has been helpful and keep it coming in case someone else has an issue or questions.
  7. I've got someone coming out to do a water test on Wednesday but I might talk to the Hauge people as well. I was also doing some research and am going to look more into one of these systems to add in to the mix as well. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Perfect-Water-Technologies-Home-Master-Whole-House-Three-Stage-Fine-Sediment-Iron-and-Carbon-Water-Filtration-System-HMF3SdgFeC/203515354
  8. So I'm doing research on how to solve for a sulfur/rotten eggs smell in our well water. It's worse when the hot water is run, can't really smell it with cold water. I've had a few CR people pass me information via social media and phone about replacing the anode rod on the hot water tank. I don't know if it's ever been done since it looks sealed still and the previous homeowner was allergic to basic home maintenance. Another option is that I'm going to shock the well soon to see if that will help. The final option and where I need some ideas at is for possibly replacing the water softener and adding some extra filtration. What should I look for here and what do some of you use? I've heard all kinds of terms like iron out systems and what not, but I want to see what real life people use and what works for them.
  9. They were purchased by the guy who owns the Browns, is that really being saved or just sent to a new level of hell?
  10. How this guy lived is pure luck. https://www.dragzine.com/news/insane-video-mustang-ripped-in-half-after-a-street-race-crash/
  11. PM me your price and I'll make time to come take it off your hands.

    Amazon HQ2

    Real estate and home prices hit stupid amounts of money, so normal people can't buy a house and the traffic issues are the two biggest things that my co-worker told me about. That and the attitude around the whole Amazon Corp deal isn't great, then there's how they treat workers.
  13. I need to start getting some wood to burn in the shop and might not be able to cut/split all of it on my own. As far as prices go for cords and 1/2 cords of wood what is good?
  14. I got one of the $200 Specter 55 inch tvs for my shop. I just added an HDMI cable so I could hook it up to my laptop to broadcast races and will also put a Roku on it we have here as well. For the price and use it's perfect

    Amazon HQ2

    This. I've heard nothing but bad things from those who live/lived around HQ1.
  16. Mostly in the south but that style of racing could be in trouble after that guy got killed 2 weeks ago at the Wanna Go fast event.
  17. I spent a week in a hotel with Dennis, he's a riot. Season 2 is coming and we might have a few other fun things coming as well.
  18. The final episode is live and it turned out really good. https://www.dragzine.com/features/10k-drag-shootout-episode-10-the-race/ It was really cool to be a small part of this project and see everything go down from multiple sides. We have some big ideas for next year so stay tuned, it's going to be interesting
  19. This car makes me giggle like a little kid, so happy I got to shoot it and write about it. This thing is just punch you in the face awesome. https://www.dragzine.com/news/the-doctor-is-in-avery-thomas-wicked-1978-cutlass-dr-kevorkian/
  20. Based on my experience in a previous life working in the legal field do what others have suggested here. I've had to help clean up some expensive and nasty messes created by people that didn't get legit legal advice from a professional.
  21. This car is going to be nasty wken Keith actually starts to open it up a bit https://www.dragzine.com/features/car-features/small-tire-eye-candy-keith-sletvolds-twin-turbo-2002-camaro/
