Mellon tuning in a Hotrod Mag video

Mellon went to the track this past thursday for the test and tune that is held weekly.

But this tnt was a little different as the Pump Gas Drags was this weekend so alot of the guys running this weekend were out and HotRod mag is the presenting sponsor of this event.

Click on the vid that is titled Thursday Test n Tune, right now it is the last video.

Congrats mellon on making the vid and demolishing that old hotrod.


Around the 35 second mark.

"Old hot-rod"? Let's not kid ourselves. That was a '62 (or thereabouts) Nova that was probably running an I6

I had to stop and rewind the footage to see his car. I think it is funny how they are obviously bias to the "hot rods" based off of their video footage. You barely had time to see Chris' Evo.

They editors aren't biased. The readers are and that is who they have to cater to.

They aren't covering an Evo drag race. Just Hot Rods... I can't believe you spotted it, I had to rewind to catch a glimpse.

my wife was the one that caught it...I had quite a few old hot rodders stop by after each pass and say "what the hell have you done to that thing" hehe.

I was on 93 octane and made a bunch of 11.4 and 11.5 125mph passes. The track was crappy, 4 drag radials and 15psi in each and still spinning through first gear

Time to tweak the suspension maybe to get it to hook up better.
