Las Vegas Motor Speedway. I did just notice on there schedule that they are having open test and tunes now on saturdays. I'm sure they would allow slicks then but at the normal street legal races, slicks are a no no.

Races are on Friday. Hopefully 11's this time out. Today I got my fuel Y's in from Summit so I tore the fuel bucket apart to see if my routing idea will work. -10 bulk head to two 3/8 barb fittings to the pumps. Let me know what you guys think

I would think it'd work fine. Looks pretty cool too. What year is that bucket top because mine looks nothing like that...

I think you are going to have a problem with it being too tall without modifying the bed...

Yep figured it would be close. Wasn't sure how close to the bed that EVAP extrusion sat. You guys think it will still be close with a 90* bulkhead?

Hmm I guess all I can do is try it. If anyone has there truck up on a lift a lot, can you try to measure that clearance for me. I don't have a tank yet.

Maybe I'll just machine a new hat. That would simplify things a lot
