I wish I had that kind of cash! If I did, I'd have my own personal mechanic working on my baby..specially since I suck when working with my hands! Seriously, you are the man for helping us understand our cars better. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Hawaii Raceway Park I think is where the races are at...there's a 1/4 mile strip and I believe an oval course. Sounds like 35thSS and Drew778 have been there a time or two <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

So, do are there any dragstrips around over there?

Hey MTWallet, at the track when I have to change plugs on my Challenger I got a piece of fuel hose (make sure it's new, gas and heat outside the engine arent fun)and stuck it on the spark plug. That made it easy to get it started in the threads so I wouldnt burn my hands on the headers, then just tighten it all the way with a socket. Should help if your hands too big to thread the plug in with your hand.
Good Luck
