Draggin Video I made back in t he day

titanium will out last and out spark any material. you cant weld it but the way to do it is have it predrilled and countersunk with big old bolts into a piece of steel then have the front sloped at a 45 degree angle bolt it to a solid piece of steel and weld the steel to your frame. if you get the blocks like i have but never put on thats how they come if i remember they were like two hundred fifty dollars but everyone ive ever known who had tony titanium blocks dragged em for years. oh and it stays lit for a lot longer than steel almost long enough to light a cigarette off of and is not rainbow it blows almost white spark.

i wont drag my frame because my fuel line is about not even a 1/4" from the frame and im definatly not trying to rail that shit and have the damn fuel line burst and then we will have a real 4th of july so i tend to just put 1/2" blocks on it, just like the other members ahve posted i just tend to find scrap steel and weld it on my crossmember and my control arms lmfao because they drag to.i will get pics of that later

uhhm, YEAH. Hardened chrome hitch balls definitely outlasted my Ti blocks. The difference being the Ti was on the front, and the balls on the rear. Weight may have played the difference here. I've never seen a hitch ball shatter, but I don't want to either.

UPDATE: I went out one night a few weekends ago to test out my new dragging apparatus. I went easy on it since it was my maiden dragging with this setup. MY buddy Sean did the taping and editing. Sorry it's an S-10 but hopefully you'll enjoy it. Let me know what you guys think



P.S. - yes, I could of let more air out of the rear bags, thats why there is occasionally only 1 set of sparks.

nice vid, now after you get all your things together and confident with it, go balls out onit and really lay it out. Still looks good though also were are your rear blocks located? right by the rollpan?

haha also i do the exact same thing at my mall

kinda like train horns but without the actual horns cause u get everyones attention but its not a horn.

I built a special contraption for my drag blocks. I started out wanting a removable hitch so I could tow a small trailor. Since I had no licence plate back there for a hidden hitch, I fabbed up my own. It's a system of interchangable pieces that bolt into 3 'backwards' recievers. Here is the best pic I have before I welded up the drag bar:

Then I just welded some steel blocks to the horizontal bar. When I find some scrap angles I am going to make brackets for some titanium.

ALSO: Here is my origional thread on another forum from the design to the build phase. Enjoy.

ya, my buddy has a 94 s-10 he had 17s on it(this is before he body dropped it on 20s and 22s)

He would love jacking the front end all the way up and laying out the ass end cause he could drag his skin haha.

here is a pic of the lowest i sit since i re-did the whole rear end the front i just weld 1/2" blocks on it so they last real long, but on the rear end im thinking 2x2 tubing and getting it 5" long and prolly cuttting it in half and welding each piece on the bottom of the frame rails, i still need to notch a crossmember so i can lay it all the way out without hereing the annoying grinding sound.
