Wrote this a couple years ago and wanted to get it recorded, but haven't come to terms yet with the artist I want. Thought it might give you guys a chuckle. Hot Rod Race 2019 (The GTM and the SLC) Music by Charlie Ryan & W.S. Stevenson 1960 Lyrics by John Ross 2019, with a hat tip to Johnny...

Got my SLC back from Allan and am in the process of making seats. Used the remote to open the door and the door opened 3" and stopped. Further investigation revealed a dead battery. So I hooked up the superduper Optima smart charger and it got the battery to 100% within 24 hours. That was...

Friday we trailered the SLC 21 hours from St. Louis to Connecticut and delivered it to Allan for completion. I had to face the fact that my long torso results in my head hitting the roof structure in any normal seating position, even sitting on the floor with no seat or padding in the car at...

Last night I was sitting in my Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 in the driveway of my summer place, talking to my neighbor with the window rolled down. The sky got dark, and we both looked at a funnel cloud as it approached. My neighbor said "I'm headed for the basement!" and ran for his house 1/4...

On Wednesday I picked up Tom Cate in Indianapolis and we headed up to see Dr. Allan Uzwiak (AllanSLC) in Chester, CT. Tom was going to be my build partner on my car, but health problems put the kibosh on that, thus my decision to get Allan on board. We went up there to see his work and discuss...

I came up to see Allan here in CT from Missouri to discuss my future build and made the mistake of letting my GPS tell me the route. IT TOOK ME THROUGH NYC!!! I would shoot myself before taking my SLC on a trailer on this route. Since I got here to Chester, CT four hours early, I'm at the...

Video: Dyno Testing the Wicked-looking Carbon XR Intake Manifold - EngineLabs Halfway down the page is a pic of the engine bay of what looks like an SLC with this manifold. Whose car is this? JR

I've been getting the Razor (Justin's former car) ready for when winter FINALLY goes away here (widened cockpit, relocated column & shifter, making seats, wiring issues) and was preparing to jump into the SLC build with both feet when I got some bad news. My friend Tom Cate in Indianapolis who...

The transporter arrived an hour ago from Las Vegas with Justin's 2010 turbo ecotec Razor on it. I am very pleased with the car even though I've only driven it about 50 feet. I need to do a few things to make it comfortable for me to drive it, but after spending an hour looking at how things...

When I search this forum or the SLC Clubhouse for "muffler" or "mufflers" I get no results, even when I click "Search entire posts." What gives? JR

Getting ready to drive up to Michigan towing my Sloan's Kwik-Load trailer to pick up my SLC. Body fitted, doors hung, LS442, Clutch, flywheel, starter, and transaxle installed. Yay! I'm excited! JR

I just looked at Superlite's Facebook page and saw that on May 31 they have a pic of some new 6-speed transaxles which they now have available. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=586757824687838&set=a.187470371283254.41429.187464421283849&type=1&relevant_count=1 Ratios? Ring & pinion...

Over a year ago there was a thread here that started on a GTM forum about a "Battle of the superkit cars" top speed competition on a 14,000 foot runway in Maine. Questions: Did anyone go with an RCR product? What happened? Has anyone ever competed in any other similar events with RCR cars...

Folks, I'm the guy who was about to pick up his SLC roller from Fran in the next four or five weeks. It has a Ricardo transaxle and Thomson Automotive 442 inch LS motor with dry sump and Harrop ITB manifold, making 740 crank HP and 650 ft.-pounds of torque. I'll be entertaining serious offers...

Just heard from Brian Thomson that he broke in my engine and then did a dyno pull. He had promised the motor would make more power than a factory LS7, and it did. Preliminary results are 735 HP @6900 and 657 TQ @4500. This was with factory Corvette LS7 exhaust manifolds, which is what I...

Would it be possible to construct a street-legal SLC that, with only a change of ride height and wheels/tires, would be able to beat the best times of the 917/30 when it ran in 1973? I don't plan on trying to do this, but big dreams have always been a part of my life... JR

While waiting for my SLC roller to be ready in early September, I can't help daydreaming about it. Then this Jalopnik article caught my eye: Parking lot mechanic News, Videos, Reviews and Gossip - Jalopnik My mind started wandering. In the comments section is a TD behind a Ford GT. I don't...

I've ordered an SLC roller which I think I will get in August. I've been poring over the build threads and using the search engine, and it occurs to me that the things I am interested in finding out are probably the same as what many others planning a build would like to know. I'm new here and...

Hi, I've been lurking on the forum for a month or so, you people seem very helpful. I finally finished reading the 962 twin turbo 440 Dart thread. Cool stuff! I want to visit RCR, and being in St. Louis is not too far a hike. I am very interested in an SLC. My track experience: I was 1999...
