The popularity of the TV show “Madhouse” about asphalt modified racers at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina has opened the flood gates for more racing shows. Yesterday we reported on Dirt Knights, an upcoming broadcast TV show that will cover five drivers in the USMTS modified series throughout their season. Most of the responses to that post had fans overwhelmingly excited about a dirt track racing reality show, and one reader clued us in on another new show on the Discovery Channel, Heartland Thunder.

It was a warm, sunny day in southern California, which made it a great day for a model shoot. And with a good looking car and beautiful girl, it made it that much better. Not only is Anne McDaniels a model and actress, she owns her own business. We decided to take her and the Dodge Magnum R/T over by Lake Skinner to get some nice shots.

In our quest to make an indestructible dirt track race car, we began by changing out the drivetrain piece by piece and replacing the worn out components with some budget minded but top shelf equipment. When it came time to upgrade our street stock project car’s rear end, there was only one real choice – a bulletproof Ford 9 inch rear end. For a bomber stock, it’s the only way to go. Most of the dirt tracks that allow a Ford 9 inch rear end also allow a floater rear end for safety. With a variety of companies that manufacture the Ford 9 inch, we knew there were a lot of alternatives available. However, we selected the Circle Track Package from Moser Engineering as our weapon of choice.

Small block Chevy heads have been manufactured since 1955, and have been used in high performance applications as soon as the first one rolled off the assembly line. Fifty-five years of manufacturing have left us with an endless number of different cylinder heads for the SBC engines. General Motors estimated that through 2005, more than 90 million small block Chevys have been produced, which means that there have been at least that same number of SBC cylinder heads produced. We break down the differences and advantages between the most popular ones.
