Mabelo a DRAG ke papali e tsebahalang haholo Australia. Ba bang ba rata ho mathisa likoloi tsa bona ha ba bangata ba rona re thabela ho shebella re le ka thoko.

Ka bomalimabe, mabelo a ho hula a Australia a na le mathata a 'maloa: Melbourne le Adelaide. Calder Park ea Melbourne e tsamaisa liboka tsa seterateng feela 'me AIR ea Adelaide e koetse menyako ea eona ka ho feletseng.

O ka pheha khang ka mabaka le mabaka ho fihlela bosiu empa ho lekane ho bolela hore libapali tsa li-drag libakeng tse ka boroa ho Australia li ntse li etsa lintho ka thata hona joale. Ho bolelang hore libapali tsa li-drag tsa tlholisano tse kang Simon Lazarevski li tlameha ho tsamaea lik'hilomithara tse likete hore feela li leke.

Simon o rata di-Mopar tsa hae mme o rata ho matha peisong kahoo ke tlhaho hore a kopanye ditakatso tseo tse pedi le mochini o motle wa peiso wa Mopar. Leha ho le jwalo, ena ha se koloi ya hae ya pele ya ho hula dimetale tse boima; o ne a tloaetse ho matha le VJ Hardtop e sa tlwaelehang empa seo se ne se qala ho potlaka hanyane ha ho nahanoa hore e ne e se na 'cage'. Matsatsing ana VJ Hardtop ke lefa la lelapa le ratwang — “Ke hopola ke tsamaya le Ntate ho ya e lata ha ke le dilemo di nne,” ho rialo Simon — kahoo o ne a sa ikemisetsa ho etsa ntho e jwalo.

Leha ho le jwalo, o ne a tseba moo ho nang le khetla ya kgale e thata ya Pacer Hardtop e se nang enjene kapa lebokose kahoo a e qhaqha. Jwale, pele re tlala mangolo a lehloyo a tswang ho badumedi ba Mopar ba itokisetsang ho bolaya Simon ka ho mo kgaola Pacer wa nnete, o kanna wa batla ho mo utlwa.

“Koloi e ne e le moferefere ha ke e fumana. E ne e le tseleng e yang ka hara setshelo mme ke nahana hore ke e bolokile,” o a hlalosa. Ho molemo ho tswalwa hape jwalo ka mopalami wa mabelo ho e-na le ho sebediswa hape hore e be dithole.

"Ke rata ponahalo ea Pro Street 'me ke ne ke nahana hore e 'ngoe ea tsena e tla shebahala e le ntle e hahiloe ka setaele seo. Ba na le ponahalo eo ea Amerika empa e ntse e le MaAustralia 'me batho ba ka utloisisana le bona."

Qalong e ne e le tšoeu e nang le mola o mofubelu, khetla ea Pacer e ile ea huleloa ka har'a shede ea Simon bakeng sa mosebetsi o moholo oa tšepe o ileng oa qalisoa ka ho seha libate tsa mabili le ho tlosa suspension ea kariki-spring e ka morao.

Simon, ka thuso ea molekane oa hae ea molemo Marino Prodan, o ile a etsa ntho e 'ngoe le e 'ngoe koloing e ka har'a shed ntle le pente le rollcage. Seo se ne se kenyelletsa ho tjheseletsa ka har'a libate tsa mabili tse kholo ho lekana ho nka li-slicks tsa 30×12, ho atolosa moeli o ka pele oa masoba a mabili a ka morao le ho kenya sete ea suspension ea ladder-bar hammoho le li-coil-over tsa Strange/AVO.

Lihokelo tsa foreimi le tsona li ile tsa kenngoa 'me khetla ea romeloa ho Zagari Engineering bakeng sa lekhoakhoa la tšepe e bonolo ea lintlha tse 10 le e kopanyang kaofela. Ho tloha moo Hardtop e ile ea ea John Walker Crash Repairs ho lokisa pente. Banna bao ba ile ba maneha liphanele tse telele tsa angular ka Protec Chrysler Mercury Silver.

“Ba ile ba ntlhokomela haholo,” ho rialo Simon ka John Walker le Protec Paints. “Ke leboha haholo hore ba lebohuoe.” Banna bao ba boetse ba batalalitse sebaka sa enjene mme ba kopanya masoba a sa hlokahaleng, ho bolelang hore ha ho letho le ka u sitisang ho tloha setsing sa koloi sa dikhubu tse 470.

Simon o hahile enjene ka boeena. O haha ​​lienjene tse ngata (haholo-holo lintho tsa GM) ka khoebo e nyane ea lehlakore eo a e bitsang Hippo Race Engineering (0412 440 472). Lebitso la Hippo le tsoa ho VJ Hardtop ea khale 'me joale le khomaretse.

Ka sepheo sa ho sebetsa ka har'a bracket ea ANDRA ea Super Stock, tlas'a sehlopha se senyenyane sa Modified Sedan, Simon o ile a haha ​​​​enjene ka har'a meeli e moqotetsane ea buka ea melao. Seo se ne se bolela khamera e bataletseng ea tappet, block le lihlooho tsa fektheri, le khabohaetere e le 'ngoe e se nang nitrous, blower kapa turbo.

Li-cubes tse 470 tsa tse ntle ka ho fetisisa tsa Mopar — u se ke ua thetsoa ke likoahelo tsa rocker tsa Indy Cylinder Heads; Simon oa li sebelisa hobane ha li lutle

“Bashanyana ba Ford ba na le diboloko tsa SVO; Bashanyana ba Chevy ba na le Bowties; nna ke na le Mopar ya 1967,” Simon a soasoa. “Ho tla etsa hore ho hlola ho be monate le ho feta.”

Boloko boo ba '67 440 bo tsamaisa crank ea tšepe ea fektheri e siiloeng fatše le liropo tsa Eagle ho hlahisa li-cubes tse 470. Simon o ne a etsa boholo ba mechini ea hae lapeng - ntho feela eo a neng a sa khone ho e etsa e ne e le ho phunya boloko le ho sila crank empa o ile a seha lipiston tsa Ross ka sefofane 'me a kenya lihlooho tsa Mopar Stage-VI ka karacheng ea hae ea lapeng le lebenkeleng la mechini. Ho ba le lathe, mochini oa ho sila le lintho tse ling tse ngata tse monate hoa thusa, na ha ho joalo?

MSD 7AL2 e tsoa ho mofu Scott Geoffrion's Pro Stock Dodge Daytona ka mor'a hore Simon a thuse mong'a hona joale oa koloi, Matt Sawyer. “Ke na le thepa ea metsotsoana e 7 ka koloing,” ho bolela Simon. “Ke batla Mars empa haeba nka fihla khoeling feela ke tla thaba.”

Lihlooho tseo li tletse lintho tse ntle: li-valve tsa titanium, li-spring tsa Manley le li-retainer tsa titanium tsa likhato tse 10 le liloko, ka lisebelisoa tsa Crane le Indy rocker tse sebetsang hantle. E hahiloe bakeng sa tlholisano, ho hlakile hore Simon's a ke ke a fana ka litlhaloso tsa cam empa re ka u joetsa hore ke yuniti e kholo e tiileng 'me enjene e sebetsa ka peterole ea Sunoco race. Kaofela ha eona, e etsa 720hp crank. Ho hema ho hlokomeloa ke Mopar M1 intake le HP-series 1050 Dominator carb e hulang ka har'a scoop e kholo e kentsoeng ka bonnet, ha ho ntse ho fepuoa sebata ho na le lipompo tse peli tse putsoa tsa Holley tse fetotsoeng ho sebetsana le betri ea 16v Turbostart ka har'a boot. Hape ho na le betri ea 12v ho khanna lisebelisoa.

Batho ba bangata ba nahana hore Simon o halefile ka ho tsamaisa para ea lipompo tse theko e tlaase empa o nahana hore ba se ba ntse ba sebetsa hantle ho fihlela joale. Leha ho le joalo, o na le pompo e kholo ea Boenjiniere ba Lihlahisoa e lutseng shelefong, e emetse feela ho kena. Empa ho makatsang ke hore Simon ha a nahane hore enjene e na le khanya e kaalo.

“Ho nna enjene ena ke enjene e ntle haholo e ka sebediswang ka hara bracket,” o re. Ho na le enjene e nyane e rerilweng e nang le bokgoni bo bonyenyane, e tla sebedisa dihlooho tse betere le dithupa tsa aluminium mme e lokela ho sebetsa ka thata ho etsa matla a mangata. Molemo o eketsehileng wa enjene e nyane ke hore e tla kgona ho hula 120lb ya loto ka koloing eo hona jwale e lokelang ho e sebedisa ho fokotsa boima ba mmele (7.5lb/ci) ka enjene ya 470ci.

Kahoo potso eo o batlang ho e botsa ke hore na e sebetsa joang. 9.82@137mph e u tšoara joang? Hase ntho e mpe bakeng sa enjene e sa hlokeng ho huloa likoahelo tsa eona tsa rocker kamora ho matha nako le nako 'me e etsa matla a eona a matle ka 6400rpm feela. 'Me seo ke ho qala ka footbrake!

Mochini oa ho fetola lintho o shebahalang o khahla, na ha ho joalo? Turbo Action SCS Cheetah e ne e fumaneha ho tsoa lethathamong la Mopar Performance 'me Simon oa e rata. "Ke ntse ke sebelisa li-shifter tsena ho tloha ka '94; li ntle haholo. Haeba u reka e 'ngoe, e tla ba mochini oa ho qetela oo u tla o reka."

Hardtop e kgolo e na le 727 Torqueflite e felletseng ya letsoho e nang le transbrake empa ka makgaolakgang a fokolang feela tlasa mabili, converter e ntse e hloka ho hlophiswa - ho qalwa ha dikonopo ho makatsa mabili haholo. Kaha o se a ntse a sebetsa tlasa index ya sehlopha sa hajwale (index ya A/MSA ke 9.84sec) Simon o batla ho beola dikarolo tse mmalwa tse eketsehileng tsa leshome. Hang ha a se a hlophile converter mme mekoallo ya mabili e kentswe, o tla kgona ho qala ho ntsha dinomoro tse ding tsa nnete.
