No price yet but I suspect they will cost more than everyone else. | |||

Rich I have driven several dragsters built by Undercover, Race-Tech, Mullis, S&W and even a Mark Rowe & a Dakota - IMO, nothing is as smooth going down the track as a Race-Tech (but Undercover is a close second). I will say cosmetically I like the look and style of Undercover & Mullis more than Race-Tech... while Race-Techs are well built, they just look more basic & rudimentary.

I've had a Undercover and a Racetech, both worked well. I preferred the Racetech by a narrow margin. 272" Spitzer 540 Chevy The Blower Shop XR1 FTI XPM Series Converter FTI Level 6 Powerglide 3.69@199 .916 60' 2017 Bradenton Heads Up Madness Open Outlaw Champ 2018 PDRA T/D #5 2019 PDRA T/D #2 2020 Retired From T/D Competition.... 2020 Bradenton NMCA Hemi Shootout Winner 2021 getting back into bracket racing with a Gen3 Hemi powered 87 Cutlass. | |||

the original undercover motorsports was never a question on their quality but dealing with them on building a car was horrendous | |||

Kurt was not good at business management.........as is still the case with many small businesses. 272" Spitzer 540 Chevy The Blower Shop XR1 FTI XPM Series Converter FTI Level 6 Powerglide 3.69@199 .916 60' 2017 Bradenton Heads Up Madness Open Outlaw Champ 2018 PDRA T/D #5 2019 PDRA T/D #2 2020 Retired From T/D Competition.... 2020 Bradenton NMCA Hemi Shootout Winner 2021 getting back into bracket racing with a Gen3 Hemi powered 87 Cutlass. | |||

My Dan Page 2 cents. Back in the day when Kurt was in his hay day building cars he took special notice to my new Dan Page dragster at the Moroso 5 day that year! We talked there and at other races after. Nothing wrong with Kurt's chassis, but I never liked the body, leaving out the looks part of it! He and other builders did not use a radius at the edge of each body panel, sharp 90 corners, that along with the small bend he used on the top panels along the edges of the side panels really created a paint nightmare. Leaving looks out of the equation, Dan Page's dragster bodies are without question one of the best out there... And ya it's both my opinion and fact... With regards to the mono shock deal, Kurt did miss fitting the right shock to his cars for a while! Never accounted for the ratio of rear end movement vs shock movement and how that impacts shock valving. Guys like Bender didn't have to worry about that though!  | |||

I asked KURT years ago if he had to buy some else’s chassis who’s would it be an he said DAN PAGE without question....but just like everyone’s opinions I’m not fond of the looks...an ALL my UNDERCOVERS have been nothing but NASTY.... | |||

And as far as SHOCKS most manufacturers couldn’t keep up with the STUDID ET we are running now in a d a m n bracket race... | |||

This was a good 15 years ago. My buddy had one of his cars and he could set the shocks to full tight and then full loose, no difference. (Racepak shock travel) so the shock was just there for the ride. Got a new AFCO that was built/valved to match for that application and then he could control the rear movement as desired. Every mono shock deal built out there today likely has a different rear to shock movement ratio, the shock builder needs to know that to valve it correctly. The spring rate used in the single shock will give you an indication of this ratio. My car has a 350lb/in spring but I have seen cars with up to 650! You can't use the same shock in both of these two cases with good results. BTW Looks are a b-i-t-c-h! | |||

The shock builder needs to know the spring rate. The chassis builder needs to know the ratio in order to recommend a spring for any given power plant/driver (weight) in play. It's not the distance the shaft moves in and out of the main body that matters, it's the rate of the spring dampened. | |||

Mike, Your kinda right but if you had half a clue you would realize you said the same thing as I did above! The ratio is what determines the spring rate for a given combo! The ratio is also how the forces are applied or better yet, multiplied at the shock from the car running down track. Oh, and the distance that the shock moves along with rate at which it moves matters! | |||

Ed All involve did a very nice job! My only comment that has nothing to do with looks is the placement of the fuel tank! Two reasons, with today power levels front end weight is your friend and in the event of an accident, I want the fuel tank as far away from me as possible. For me, this Trumps (No pun intended, well maybe not!! ) any other possible pro's to locate it behind the driver's seat. | |||

I agree 100% on fuel tank placement. I know of a local racer that got severely burned and almost died when he wacked the wall and ended up upside down, the ruptured fuel tank was pouring alcohol down on him, he was knocked out by the wreck, but otherwise sustained only minor injuries. His face and upper body is permanently disfigured. 272" Spitzer 540 Chevy The Blower Shop XR1 FTI XPM Series Converter FTI Level 6 Powerglide 3.69@199 .916 60' 2017 Bradenton Heads Up Madness Open Outlaw Champ 2018 PDRA T/D #5 2019 PDRA T/D #2 2020 Retired From T/D Competition.... 2020 Bradenton NMCA Hemi Shootout Winner 2021 getting back into bracket racing with a Gen3 Hemi powered 87 Cutlass. | |||

Nope. It did grow on me over the years. I’ve also never really been a fan of the radiator placement, but I even learned to appreciate that too. All kidding aside, they were always nice, well built cars. I’ve driven a few and had no complaints. Ed. That’s a nice ride. I really like the face that it’s not painted with slashes and stuff on every surface. That let’s the workmanship show. Mikey | |||
