Drag Racing Scientist

I just finished rebuilding my Jeg’s recoil tow strap. Somehow it got all twisted-up and miss-wound! Basically completely jacked-up at the race Saturday.

I added some plastic bushings on the strap guide to narrow the strap path, so maybe the tow strap can’t get twisted in the spool in the future.

I also had to wind it up and pre-load the recoil spring! It’s working great again, so hopefully it will stay that way!

I had this old 2007 NHRA poster professionally mounted on a backing sheet at Hobby Lobby today and it came out great! Another cool drag racing memorabilia item I have.

It has been in my closet since 2007 I’m thinking and I finally got it mounted.
