PATRIOTIC PRIDE JIM WEICHERDING If you are at all familiar with social networks or just like to follow the daily news, then you are well aware of what is happening across America.

The July Issue of Motörhead Magazine and the fact that this is our month of Independence is a perfect platform to write an article related to Patriotic Pride.

Our American Flag is being targeted by people entering our country and demanding that we remove it from schools, community, town and city office buildings, public events because it conflicts with their beliefs and their own heritages.

What about our heritages?

What about our beliefs?

Have we become so spineless a country that we will let people who are not citizens of the United States dictate to us what we can do and not do with our own flag?

I see non-stop America bashing on social networks and the news constantly by people who come to this country to live and then tell us how we should live here. American Flags are being removed from cemeteries and public buildings.

Why? Who are these people that even comply with these demands in the first place?

I’m proud of our American Flag and what it represents. Vandals are ripping American Flags out of Military Cemeteries and that’s okay?

I’m seeing a lot more true Americans putting up

American Flags and even decorating vehicles and businesses with Patriotic symbols to stand up against these outside oppressions and calls to remove our flags nationwide.

The American Flag stays!

This is America, correct?

Anyone that takes offense to our American Flag can turn around and head back in the same direction they came from as far as I’m concerned.

This is America. Love it, or leave it!

New England NO TIME ROUND 1

Put up or Shut up - Go on Green!!

ED YESSAIAN Photos by Andrew Hyland/Hyland Media Over the years there have been quite a few events at New England Dragway that I have looked forward to and really, truly enjoyed. And on Saturday June 9th I got the privilege of attending one of the most enjoyable events I have seen in a while. Brought to us by Mikel Miranda of Mikel Visual Productions the New England No Time Drag Racing event featured instant green, no ET’s, and some of the absolute baddest cars in the New England area. There were two classes Street Class and Outlaw Class and both classes had no problem filling the 32 car limit. I also had the privilege of attending the track rental the Wednesday before this event where most of the competitors made a few final shakedown runs to prepare for the first event of its kind in Epping, NH Street Class- In the Street Class it came down to the final couple rounds where Shawn McGuinness emerged victorious over the rocketship LS Notch of Jonathan Furtado. Then Ralph Nichols in his 1000hp Corvette came out on top over Tom Watson. Nichols’ Corvette runs full interior, including heat and A/C, and he is credited for the original Quick Street class that was absolutely huge in its day. In the finals it was Shawn McGuiness headed to the Winner’s Circle in an unbelievably close race.

Outlaw Winner

Outlaw Class- Eric LaFerriere earned the bye run and would face the winner of Mike Ziccardi vs Southern NH Undercar’s Dan Christopher. Zaccardi would move on to the final against Laferriere and then to the Winner’s Circle.

WHERE BAD IS GOOD TOM McCARTHY On Saturday, June 9, 2018, race promoter Mikel Miranda of Medford, Massachusetts, set up in the pit area of New England Dragway, RT 101, Epping, NH all his gear to host the second ever New England No Time racing event. He may live to regret this as he’s not fond of the thought of going bald at a young age. The stresses of being a racing promoter are known to cause male pattern balding, stuttering, the shakes and sudden outbursts of Tourette’s syndrome. Not surprisingly, he has the swearing part down pretty good right now, but anyone dealing with racers on a regular basis is likely to have a rather colorful vocabulary.

According to Mikel, “I’m no race promoter; I’m just a guy with a camera who doesn’t want to see good heads-up racing die at New England Dragway.” So for two events a year (currently), Mikel sets down his video-camera equipment for a bit and gathers the New England No Time racers, to lead them as an event organizer, to keep the ball rolling. He may go bald in the process but he’s accomplished his goal to keep some of the baddest street cars off the street and give them a legit place to race heads-up.

All racers are required to attend the morning drivers meeting. After a brief rules review, names and drawn and racing begins.

ALL PHOTOS BY TOM MCCARTHY

on this new/old form of drag racing: the timing system is turned off when these cars come to the starting line, no numbers are posted, seen or announced when the cars compete. Hence the term “No Time” racing.

The cars square off side by side as in traditional style drag racing, and they get an instant green start (heads-up), but this racing is to the 1/8th mile mark and there are no numbers posted – just the all important win light will be glowing in one car’s lane for each round of racing.

Jay Pena, assisted by Angelo Tranquillo, was a strong threat in Outlaw.

The very first “New England No Time” racing event was held at New England Dragway on September 23rd, 2017. There were approximately 16 race cars signed up to race in Street class and 8 or 9 more cars were signed up to race in Outlaw class – as this is the best recollection the faithful have about the very first event at NED. For the uninformed

And this is the thrill of N/T drag racing, it’s all about driver skills: Proper staging technique, how to cut a light and a car has to be damn quick because the race is over at half-track. So average times to cover the 660’ of race track are less than 5 seconds of racing, in fact some of the big dogs can cover the distance in close to four seconds flat. The cars are doing close to 150 MPH or better (by a bunch) depending on the car’s combination.

There are basically two categories of race cars in

NT Racing, the street type cars that are actually street-able and the Outlaw cars which are really full-on race cars that look street-able, but are race cars in disguise. Due to the popularity of NT racing nationwide, the rules are still in flux and evolving almost weekly. Which is another great way to promote hair loss in man AND women, but the facts are that No Time racing is evolving at an exponential rate.

It’s catching on Eric LaFerrier, piloting this bad-ass like Pro Mod did Mustang with a ProCharger in the in the 90’s and middle of the grill was R/U in Out- Top Sportsman law class racing. after that – spreading like a Prairie Fire on a windy day.

Please see the New England No Time sight on Facebook and contact Mikel Miranda Melissa Merrit’s “No Monte” car directly, if you is not a Monte! But it is certifiable have questions bad-ass and so is she and her husabout the rules band! of NT racing. Also be sure to download a copy of the New England Dragway Racer’s Handbook or pick one up at the track to keep up with the current rules required to race at New England Dragway.

The trash talking boastful ful but highly reliable as there is not a lot of racers who have perhaps time between rounds “issues” with other racers or their cars are welcome of racing, especially late in the day when it to “Call Out” one another and this can make for gets down to the real nitty gritty. No Time priority pairing of racers. racing is very difficult Let’s say racer A has issues with racer X. When it’s to win at, that’s what makes it great. That racer A’s turn to draw a and the cars. chip he can just announce with gusto “Hey me and X are gonna have a go next Ralph Nichols Corvette has a huffer hiding under the There are Mustangs, round – see you on the hood. Rumor has it that a sizeable ProCharger is lurking Camaros, Vette’s under the fiberglass. He was R/U in Street class at the No Buicks, MOPARs, even starting line” and Mikel a Subaru too! Any year, Time event, June 9th at NED. will gladly pair the two make and model is up for the coming round welcome so long as it passes Tech. At the June of racing. When this happens, paper money of 9th event, Outlaw class was won by Mike Ziccardi, various denominations will likely be placed in R/U was Eric LaFerriere and in Street class, Shawn escrow and a bit of wagering on who is about to McGuinness defeated Ralph Nichols. go-down in the throw down!

Every race starts off with a driver’s meeting in the pits hosted by the event promoter who is the go-between the race track tower and the racers.

Like it or not, the promoter has to deliver the paper work to the tower and he’s “The Man in the Middle” all day. To help with this Jeff Field and Anthony Pierro assist Mikel with the keeping the bracket-ladders posted. They also help in keeping tabs on who won each round. This free’s up Mikel so he can do his videographer duties, as well as run the racing event. At the driver’s meeting racers from each class draw poker chips from a dark bag and that’s how pairing is done for every round of racing. Chip color denotes lane choice. The names are then posted on a dry marker board for all to see into their relative class of racing. But this is just the start of the fun.

Once the ladders are established and delivered to the tower, the tower staff will make announcements for when No Time is called to the lanes and everyone is paired up. No time trials, no warm ups, it’s put up or shut up racing: the bullshit stops when the tree drops!

Mike Ziccardi drives this Plum Crazy Challenger in Outlaw and he drives it like he stole it! That’s how he won the Outlaw class.

Outlaw Run Beyond The Book Written by Jim Weicherding / Etch glances back into his side view and rear view mirrors and still sees those two police vehicles in hot pursuit. “They are not going to go away easy,” said, Etch under his breath. Etch mats the gas pedal and sees those two big rigs closing in on his merge point of access to the highway and cranks up his stereo. “If this is how this ends, I’m going out loud!”

blinding Etch with so much grass, dirt and stones inside the driver and passenger compartment of the GTO. The two big rigs roar past him in the middle of the highway meridian and head at a high rate of speed away from his location. Etch sees 4 state police cruisers in high pursuit of the two big rigs and wonders what in the hell is happening to everybody lately. “Is everybody losing their minds?”

He cuts the steering wheel hard and leap frogs the GTO onto the highway nearly missing the two approaching big rigs. The jet black GTO launches down the highway while Etch fights to keep the power plant Pontiac in control. He sees both of the big rigs close behind his muscle car and shifts down one gear releasing his foot from the gas pedal and quickly turns the steering wheel hard to the left and instantly heads onto the center meridian between the southbound and northbound stretches of highway. The GTO is digging up the green grass and throwing debris all over the area almost

Etch slowly exits the center meridian and drives back onto the highway headed in the other direction away from the rampaging big rigs and state troopers hoping to get back to a safe place and calm his nerves. His GTO crawls to the next exit and Etch cannot believe his eyes when he drives to the blind spot behind the exit ramp tree line. A roadblock. “Just great!” said, Etch. He kinda pauses for a few moments and tries to catch his breath.

He almost got crushed by two massive speeding big rigs and that can definitely take anybody’s breath away from them. He looks around and

doesn’t see any live human beings anywhere. He steps out of the stopped GTO and stands up straight enough to get a better view of his surroundings.

“Where are the cops?” He walks to the front of his car and can barely see the top of a Dunkin’ Donuts sign on the road at the end of this exit ramp.

He walks up a little further not wanting to put too much space between his car and himself. He sees a group of police officers standing in the Dunkin’ Donuts parking lot eating donuts and drinking coffees. He remembers how one police officer he knew referred donuts to be the equivalent of power circles. “They aren’t donuts. They are power circles!” said, Etch under his breath as he walks back to his GTO.

EXPANDED INDOOR RACETRACK Supermarket Jay Pjojian’s Immaculate SVT1/10 COBRA SCALE Ed Yessaian

There’s really no other felling like taking delivery of your first Mustang or Muscle Car, especially when you’re in your early teenage years. The first time you lay eyes on that aggressive stance, the first smell of the leather interior, the first feeling of that rumble that happens after your first turn of the key. Every one of us can recall what seemed like the greatest day of our life when we got behind the wheel of our very own piece of American History. For Jason Pjojian of Cranston RI, that amazing sense of ownership and pride came to reality this past summer when he got his hands on his immaculate 1997 SVT COBRA.

Drones RC/Land, Air, Water

Superior Quality. Superior Service

Jason is the third owner of the car, but both of the first two owners were ridiculously obsessed with keeping it clean, garaged, and well maintained. As of this article the car only has 34,000 miles and doesn’t seem to have a single chip, scratch, or fingerprint anywhere on it. Jason credits the car’s current appearance and brilliant shine to his father Bob Pjojian, who shared many of his detailing secrets. Bob is currently in search of a new 2015 Mustang GT Convertible, which will be his fourth Mustang. So we know that Jason has a great role model to follow.

From the outside, the car appears to be mostly stock, with visual enhancements coming from only a handful of tasteful modifications. A Saleen S281 spoiler replaces the factory pedestal spoiler and 18 inch Steeda Pentar wheels shine brilliantly at each corner.

Like Scott, many of us have had dreams of owning a particular type of car. But it never materializes because of funds or lack of them.

But sometimes when you want something bad enough, you will find a way to get it. In this case, it was a 1990 Fox body coupe that Scott saw during his daily travels.

ING FROM NOTHING After talking to the owner and convincing him to sell it, they negotiated a deal that Scott could afford. This is when things started to become fun. On his way home with his new found love of a car, he envisioned everything he wanted to do to the car to make it fast and fun. Now Scott is far from rich, just like most of us, but he was determined to make his dream come true.

Well I’ll tell you. It was through learning on how to work on his own car, and with help of his friends, to make his dream come true. Recently Scott and a few of his buddies decided to vinyl wrap the car which has really set it off and made the car stand out in the crowd. See what you can accomplish with a little bit of determination, dedication and friends?

After securing a job that was somewhat lucrative, the purchasing of parts started. Scott has put on AFR 165 cylinder heads, a Victor 5.0 intake, a TKO Tremec transmission with a twin disc clutch, a Tubular K member and coil over struts. Scott also employed weld wheels to round out the package.

This motor is still of stock bore and stroke at 302 cubic inches. The car has put down a decent amount of horsepower on Mike Dez’s Dyno in Seekonk, Massachusetts.

A young man and his dreams are nothing to be taken lightly. Just look at Scott and learn what can be accomplished when you have a strong will and the love for cars... particularly this 5 liter Fox body Mustang.

So now you’re wondering, how did Scott afford to do all this work and have this car built on a budget?

If you ever see Scott at a local cruise or car show, go up to him and say hi. It will be apparent on how much he loves cars.

Well until next time, stay tuned and I’ll see you next month. Same bat time same bat channel.

MECHANIC’S LIFE

JIM WEICHERDING

I would imagine being an automotive mechanic is one of the hardest and unappreciated jobs to have on the planet. Nothing ever goes as planned and the things that the non-mechanic think that they know about automobiles are dead wrong. Especially in this day and age with everything manufactured with computer aged functions and the multitudes of gadgets, flashy lights and gauges that should take a rocket scientist to the edge of his own sanity.

I admire these mechanics and shop owners.

They keep everything moving and all of us safer in our vehicles on our roadways here across New England and across America.

Whether it’s a brand new car or pick up truck or a classic vehicle that comes driving up into the automotive shop driveway these shop owners and mechanics have to know how to deal with any situation and problem solve any mechanical or electrical problem that vehicle owner is facing.

Most shop owners are now hands on mechanics too. Not like the days where shop owners were not even at their automotive shops and hire a counter person or manager to deal directly with the customers. I know a lot of automotive mechanics and shop owners and I have not had many that I do not like or get along with.

People are still gonna be people and not everyone is nice, courteous and professionals. Some can be outright nasty.

If you are fortunate enough to find a customer friendly automotive shop and they treat you like part of their shop family and not just another check engine light off the street then stick with them. Chances are that they will stay as dedicated to you as you are to them.

Mechanics are the backbone of America. Without them we would not get anywhere. When I’m talking with a shop owner mechanic about my own business and I reach out to shake his hand and he says they are full of grease or oil I shake that hand anyway.

Next time your mechanic fixes your ride and gets you safely back on the road remember how hard of a job that mechanical fix was on him, or her.

Remember, it’s nice to be appreciated and being nice is always appreciated. Thank a mechanic for that hard work.

Because it is hard work.

By JAMES “CHIC” CHICIONE Growing up in South Providence in the fifties and early sixties was great with the many car shows that occurred at the Cranston Street Armory.

My father worked at Beecroft Chevrolet when it was located on Elmwood Avenue. My younger brother and I would go with my father and clean cars, occasionally sneaking a test drive in. In the show room, the cars shined so brilliantly under the bright fluorescent lights. It put a lifelong image in my mind, emphasized with a wall shelved with model cars in glass cases. I started going to hobby shops since I love the old cars, which included most Chevys, but the old Fords just moved me, resulting in my first car being a 1939 Ford 4 door Sedan with a Flathead V8. Many nights were highlighted with my three pot intake manifold supporting 3-97 Strombergs.

Things intensely changed when I joined the Marines on my seventeenth birthday and wound up in Vietnam, having left Rocky Point Park, Cresent Park and Johnny Charlies weekend fun lifestyle, when possible. At that point in time, my father had a ’55 Bel Air 210 post car with a 265 cubic

inch engine with three on the tree. I was thinking about getting a ’67 427 Impala before coming home, but I wanted that ’55 Bel Air. Unfortunately, just before I got home, he sold the car to my cousin, which made me go out and buy a brand new 1968 Chevelle SS 396 4 speed for $3,041. Since then, I’ve had several cars for cruising and racing. I obviously still love my General Motors vehicles, but found something old to play with out of Detroit, which appealed to me-a radically chopped ’27 T Coupe, which was intensely modified for safety purposes at Conti’s Auto Service and Motorsports. Which included: frame, rear radius rods and differential mounting, front axle location, steering box frame mount, steering pitman arm custom made, etc. I still have to go further with various corrections necessary, which I’m considering to do in the Fall/

The most challenging task that we are trying to put off this winter is ultimately cleaning out the garage.

There are a ton of items to go through, from left over assorted tools, to containers of grease, to half empty bottles of fluids that are bringing us a sense of unnecessary clutter. What even the most vigilant person hasn’t considered is the actual probability of their products being “expired” or well past use.

“How long have I had this?” One of the most prominent contaminants that will Accessories Installed unfold right before your eyes which can be a dreadful harm to your vehicle is hydroscopic fluids. What does hydroscopic mean? Hydroscopic describes something that will readily take up and retain moisture.

George’s Automotive Repair

A common hydroscopic fluid that would cause quite a conundrum is brake fluid.

When brake fluid absorbs moisture, the boiling point of the fluid becomes lower and will cause the fluid to compress less. Moisture within your braking system will give the fluid the ability to limit your braking power, and in turn rust out your brake lines and all necessary hardware and components. Being a New Englander during the winter months will accelerate your fluid’s water-sucking habits and this is why it is discourage to keep larger containers on your garage shelf. If possible, buy the smallest bottles at your local Auto Parts retailer.

One other thing that most Motorheads will store in case of emergencies is fuel.

DIY DETAILING

By BILL PRATT

5. Paint correction, as needed

Whether we’re talking about show cars or your daily driver, there are some easy things you can do that will keep your vehicle looking showroom new or pretty close to it.

6. Polish

Full-blown exterior detailing is typically a seven-step process.

Most people do only steps 1 & 2, followed by step 7.

1. Wash

The problem with that approach is that contaminants in the finish don’t get completely removed. Run your fingers over your freshly washed and waxed car and you’ll feel the grittiness that remains. But a car that’s been put through all 7 steps will feel so smooth your fingers will glide over the paint and things will tend to slide off the car instead of staying where you put them.

2. Dry 3. Clay bar to remove grit and contaminants 4. Prep

7. Wax

Let’s start with Step 1. This, by the way, is also the first opportunity to do some nearly invisible damage to the finish. As you wash the car with sponge and soap, the sponge will transfer surface grit to the wash bucket and each time you dunk the sponge in the bucket that grit gets disturbed and can be picked back up by the sponge. Then it becomes an abrasive against your paint, leaving very light scratches called micro-marring.

ECI disc brake conversion kits use NEW Big piston GM calipers (not the smaller "metric" calipers) and OEM GM or Ford rotors. No machine work is required with most kits.

Basic kits include brackets, hardware and bearing adapters where needed.

Complete kits also include calipers, pads, rotors, bearings, and seals.

To prevent this, put a grit guard insert tray in your bucket or buy a bucket that come with one. It will trap the grit at the bottom of the bucket so it can’t find its way back onto your vehicle.

Selection of the polish product is dependent on the extent of scratching or fading in the finish. There are typically several grades of polish, from very lightly abrasive all the way up to polishing compound (which is best left to a professional). Applying a lightly abrasive polish can be done safely by an amateur with a random-orbital polisher and a good quality polishing pad.

to trim, upholstery, etc. Others may produce a very glossy, wet look when you really want a satin finish.

The process of detailing your car can take hours when performing all 7 steps but it doesn’t need to be done that way every time. Do it once and then maintain it and you’ll find your car will always look good to others without a lot of effort on your part. It’s kind of fun having people get in one of my vehicles and tell me it looks like it’s ready to go to a show!

coat from the top of the finish that contains the scratches or other imperfections that are dulling the finish. Once the damaged layer is removed, the original shine is visible again and as smooth as it was as it exited the factory assembly line.

The important technique note here is to let the pad and tool do the work. Don’t press down hard or stay on one area too long since that can cause damage of its own. Take your time and move slowly over all the areas that need attention. As you finish polishing a section, go back over it with a microfiber cloth and buff away any remnants of polish left behind.

The final step is to apply a base coat of wax.

This can be paste wax or spray wax. The newer compounds of spray wax are easier to apply and the good quality brands will work well. Paste wax will likely leave a better layer of protection overall, but the difference may not justify the extra effort required to apply it.

The 7-step process, if done at least once a year, will keep your vehicle looking like new, especially if it’s maintained over the course of the year.

Whatever brand (or brands) you prefer, make sure you know how it is formulated. Brands that contain silicone, for example, can produce great immediate results while doing long-term damage

As part of the 13th Annual ED DAY event, the Charity Challenge for 2018 was once again a huge success, with multiple charities, chosen by each class winner, receiving literally thousands in donations.

A wide array of Ford, Chevy, Mopar, and Junior Dragsters filled the lanes at New England Dragway on Saturday, April 21st and after the tire smoke cleared, here are the proud racers that will be generously sending their donations to their chosen charities…

Charity Challenge Junior Dragster Sponsored by SOUTHERN NH UNDERCAR- Kyle Rice made history at this year’s event by being the ONLY Champion ever to successfully defend his Championship. (including both Juniors and Full sized cars there has not been a back to back winner in 13 years until Kyle). Kyle faced 2016 Charity Challenge Junior Dragster Winner Tyler Christopher in an extremely close match but was able to fend him off for the victory. Kyle chose the American Heart Association for the donation of his

250.00 prize.

Charity Challenge Best Reaction Time Sponsored by VIKING MOTORSPORTS- Carl Banish in his pristine Dodge Magnum ran back to back .008 reaction times, to capture the award for Best Reaction time, which earned his team, The Mackey Magnums, a 250.00 donation that was sent to the Wounded Warrior Project.

tang at New England Dragway that will always be one of my favorites and that is the bright red Four-eyed Fox-Body belonging to David Ongano Jr. This year this particular car put the entire field on notice with an ALL MOTOR pass of 10.01 @134mph during competition then a dip into the 9’s during testing later in the day. For his stellar performance David received a 250.00 donation sent to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Championship. In a spectacular showing for the day, Brandon Dine finished Runner Up, which earned him a 500.00 donation to the ASPCA. Charity Challenge 2018 CHAMPION Sponsored by TASCA AUTOMOTIVE GROUPComing into the event fresh off his King of the Hill win the night before, Brandon Cate piloted the War Wagon to victory with textbook consistency and nearly perfect runs, round after round after round. After facing his TEAM KONG teammate in the finals, Brandon took his place in the winner’s circle for the second day straight, earning 1000.00 donation to his chosen charity, the ASPCA.

25th Anniversary of Mercury Cougars ROB MAY 1992 marked the 25th Anniversary for Mercury Cougars. Mercury manufactured just over 5,000 Tourmaline Green limited-edition models to celebrate. One makes its den at home in Lafayette, Indiana with Randy Minniear. Thanks to Randy for the photos.

The 25th Anniversary Cougar package featured the sport-tuned suspension and side moldings behind the doors featured gold “25th ANNIVER-

SARY” lettering. Inside a Tan and Green color scheme was found along with floor mats embroidered sporting the 25th Anniversary emblem. Under the hood is the high output 5.0 V8 engine. 4-wheel

disc brakes, 3.08 gear, and dual exhaust are featured highlights.

Exclusive for original owners of a 25th Anniversary cat, premium items were received in the mail after purchasing the car. Unique pieces with the 25th Anniversary logo included keychains, jackets, travel bag, and pens. The owner’s manual case also had this emblem. In addition, a 25th Anniversary exterior care kit was sent with a dusting cloth, clear coat polish, tire and trim dressing, glass cleaner, and a touch-up bottle of Tourmaline Green paint.

Randy’s wife Dorothy has a Cinnamon Frost 1967 GT cat (expanding 25 years of Mercury Cougars)!

As I looked through all of the different boots and pictures, I saw men and women alike that paid the ultimate sacrifice for us. It really hit home knowing that there are people out there that would do something so beautiful to protect us.

So many of us get caught up in having BBQs or days at the beach to celebrate Memorial Day. But there are some families who do it in a different way to remember their loved ones that are gone.

We as Americans are very fortunate to be able to live our lives the way we do. Sometimes it’s hard for us to see how good we have it. But when you look at the big picture, we as a country are great... despite some of our flaws.

I personally want to thank every Veteran that has served or given his/her life for us. I also want to thank their family members. They have

SUMMER GRILLIN’ The 2015 North East Auto Show

JIM WEICHERDING

I like steaks, burgers and hot dogs on the grill every summer as much as the next guy. But, I really love grills on all of the hot rods, classic cars and trucks and muscle cars I see on New England roadways, highways and back roads heading to an area cruise night or car show every week during the summer cruisin’ season.

You have to wonder how all of these great grill ideas came to mind with their automotive engineering departments. You look at all of these grills and they just blow your mind.

The detailing. All that chrome! I can just envision these creative individuals sitting at their drawing tables with a Photos courtesy of Mike Linner cup of coffee on the desk beside them as they ponder their next grill design.

She’s Back! : The 2015 Z28

Creative people are a very strange breed and they just want to create the next best thing and do it not only better than their competition, but also compete against their last creation. Their office waste basket piled to the rim and a Lauryn “Hotwheels” Pontiac-Vernancio was produced, but it also brought with it a for whole four wheel anti-lock disc brakes and theredepicted are and trucks thenew consumer market.

12 VOLT NEWS Marine GPS and Tracking - Part 2

GEORGE ARAKELIAN, JR. A Custom Car Stereo Center

Marine Tracking systems is an awesome way of protecting a Big Investment. The marine tracking system is designed to call up to 8 phone numbers to alert owners in the event of high water in the bilge, low battery voltage, loss of shore power, smoke or intrusion on the vessel. Wireless relays

can be added to control any AC or DC powered devices onboard with a key fob or remotely over the phone. Call the vessel a few hours ahead to turn on the air conditioning or start the ice maker so it’s full when a day of fishing is planned. These relays can also be used to activate an external siren and even flash the vessel’s lights when intrusion is detected.

Some Marine Tracking systems offer surveillance offering local and remote access to cameras on the vessel, using any computer with an internet connection or Smart Phone. The system can also

record snap shots and video clips to the website in the event of motion detection, or a specific event, and send text messages or emails with the clip to users. Users can also login to a website to view snap shots or video clips as well as watch live streaming video off the vessel. In addition, Marine Tracking Systems offer the following: Safety - With Marine Tracking, your boat is not just

protected from theft, it can even be a safer vessel for you and your family. A Marine tracking unit can be configured to notify you by pager or cell phone of loss of battery or shore power, and bilge pump failure. You receive this critical information in time to be proactive and take appropriate measures. Even Boat and Jet Ski Rental companies can have a Marine tracking device configured to keep their fleet in predefined boundaries, and have the ability to quickly locate their assets.

Reduce Theft/Unauthorized Use - The technology

enables the recovery of stolen equipment and identifies unauthorized use, reducing a Company’s exposure to risk and potentially lowering your insurance costs.

Watercraft Fleet Project Management.

Reduce time and costs of equipment transportation by knowing exactly where your assets are.

We enable your company to more intelligent project planning by scheduling equipment maintenance, fueling and transport according to actual usage and location data.

Features unique to a Marine Tracking Unit include location by latitude and longitude and Waterproof enclosure, stainless hardware and auxiliary float switch. For more information on a Marine Tracking System contact A Custom Car Stereo System.

COOL YOUR PIPES! Or get burned....

By SERAFINO “JIMMY” CAZZANI Exhaust system temperatures (EGT) can approach 1400 degrees on an all out race engine. I’m sure many of you have seen a dyno pull with headers glowing cherry red. Boats don’t have the same

Our sea strainers which hold a volume of about five gallons serve multiple purposes. First, they capture any debris such as seaweed or unfortunately trash that gets in. Second, they provide a volume of water to keep liquid flowing even while we are airborne. Third, like a dry sump tank they separate air from water allowing air to egress so our engines get clean, dense cooling liquid and lastly they’re equipped with relief valves.

Adjusting water pickups is always a compromise between low and high speed volume, relief valves prevent overpressurization of the system and bleeds off sufficient volume allowing us to maintain high speeds for extended periods. A three stage Monster volume seawater pump very similar in design to a dry sump oil pump distributes cooling liquid to the motor, various oil

volume of air flow as race cars to cool things off and boat engines are always under a load, even while cruising which always keeps the EGT’s up.

You’ll notice boat headers are essentially very

ingestion which will quickly kill an engine. Their unique, patented pipe bending process assures uniform wall thickness and prevents any rippling or crazing of the tubes. Bending and forming 316L, duplex stainless and inconel pose challenges most header manufacturers will never encounter. Their process also includes tungsten inert gas welding followed by a heat treating processes which significantly reduce internal stresses that cause fatigue, corrosion and premature failure.

Of course the last step is a show polished finished part that is truly as I said last month “A work of technology and art” It’s no surprise in recent years Custom Marine equipped boats have won more championships than all the other manufacturers combined!

coolers, intercoolers and our supertrick CMI water jacketed exhaust. sophisticated automotive headers mounted upside down. Can you imagine trying to get near a marine engine to perform any basic check or adjustment unless it was thoroughly cooled?

This is where CMI (Custom Marine Inc of Neenah, WI) steps in to chill us out. Here’s a quick overview of marine cooling from water intake to tailpipe.

Marine cooling systems while basically simple require careful thought and layout. A water pickup mounted low on the transom or hull bottom acts as a scoop to bring water in and supply a sea strainer. Our water pickups are adjustable to help regulate pressure. If mounted to low the excessive water pressure generated by high speeds will blow seawater right past the head gaskets and even blow hoses from their couplings! We use mostly stainless pipes and high pressure hose to distribute this vital liquid.

66| Motorhead Magazine - July 2018

Our CMI exhaust is water jacketed from the point it leaves the cylinder head to the point it exits the tailpipes. All four CMI wastegate dumps are jacketed and the turbo housings are encapsulated in water jackets.

The water jackets in our headers are larger than a standard marine race header because of the turbos and the inner header tubes have a spiral structure welded around them to help prevent dry or hot spots.

CMI is located in a 98,000 square foot facility housing one of the most technologically advanced tube bending, forming and welding facilities in the world.

Their patented cool-collar accumulator (see photo) eliminates header hot spots, cracking and the potential for water

While CMI stocks and manufactures many popular marine exhaust parts don’t hesitate to contact Dave Rank @ 920-720-4225 if you desire a really special, high quality exhaust or turbo part custom made for your boat, bike or race car. The custom one off parts CMI fabricated for my Superboat are stunning!

Many thanks to Dave and staff at CMI for pulling this off perfectly!!

READERS RIDES MIKE’S RIDE

JIM WEICHERDING This bad boy 1932 Ford Coupe belongs to a good friend of mine, Mike Shea, from Spenser Massachusetts.

This classic coupe comes equipped with a V6 Buick motor. The color scheme is a rare maroon with gray two level paint job that adds to the smoothness of this Ford Coupe body style.

A very unique Jaguar Coupe suspension keeps this bad boy firmly planted on the roadways. Both front and rear assemblies are Jaguar Coupe suspensions.

Since purchasing this Ford Coupe back in 2016, Mike did all of the customized woodworking on the vehicle interior. He also installed a brand new heater for those cool fall evenings he’s out cruisin’ across New England and New York State. He is long time Syracuse Cruise Event Show Car participant every September. He also likes to showcase in Burlington, Vermont at their annual cruise event each year.
