Drag Race School discounts

All Ken Lowe Race Car customers get a very big discount on the services of the Drag Race School. If you want to learn the A-Z of drag racing before you take your new car to the race track call Tracey at the Drag Race School on 0411-699 535 and inquire about your car buyer discount.

Under construction - below is some photos for your perusal.

This could be your new car coming off the jig. If you want to know how our cars drive and the hardware fits ask any of our customers.  This chassis jig and fixture hardware is the culmination of building race cars since 1967. Striving for accuracy and repeatability has created the KLRC jigs and fixture system. Look on the top of the chassis jig and you will see almost no shadows. Our lighting system is quite shadows resistant this means that the builder can easily see if the tubes are in alignment. The accuracy of this jig is measured in thousands not fractions.

Spindle and spindle mounting. Streamline bi pod mounting

Billet rack and pinion and billet aluminum mount. Horn is shown in front of the rack.

Drivers view of cockpit. Fuel shut off lever is the gold lever on the left. Down inside the car on the left you can see the foot brake, on the right you can see the throttle pedal. On the "crotch dash" starting from the bottom is the red master switch, the engine oil pressure and the trans temperature. On the right side of the crotch dash is the front brake lever. The three switches across the top of the crotch dash are from left to right fan, water pump and ignition. On the dashboard itself from left to right is the engine temperature, data logger switch, tach, crossover delay box switch and the crossover delay box. On the right side of the car the long gold handle is the shifter while the short gold handle next to it is the parachute lever.

Dashboard cover. Dzus button installed for quick and easy removal. Covers all the ugly wires yet still easy to service. Available in fiberglass, carbon(shown) or Kevlar.

Crossover delay box allow the driver to create more consistent reaction times.

Here you can see the clutch pedal and linkage on the left side of the car. The hand brake is on the right side of the car and the reverse lever is on the left.

Some people don't like the way they look but they sure save the engine from getting rocks thrown down the pipe and past an open valve into the engine. It happens!!

Adjust-a-rail pedal set. Remove a couple of bolts and set the pedals where the driver is most comfortable. This is good if more than one person drives the car or adds to car resale value. Also some drivers find that the original position of the pedals when the car was built is not as comfortable as they first thought once they get in the firesuit and are setting in the staging lanes. The Adjust-a-rail pedals allow them to be easily moved to make the driver more comfortable. 

Hand brake lever in a clutch car. Shown here in a car with a forward fuel tank as you can see the fuel line tunnel in the floor of the car.

Catch tray. This is a new option to our cars. If you leak a drop of oil or water on the starting line the stewards will shut you off. If that happens with this the catch tray will stop the fluid from going on the track and you will still be able to make the run and have a chance of winning the race. If you get shut off that will never happen.

Rules state you must have a tail light. Wires and such are so messy and they fail so much. With this self contained tail light a pair of AAA batteries will last a very long time. This one has been on our Drag Race School car for nearly two years now and the batteries are still good. We do carry a spare set of AAA's in the trailer though.

Crotch dash shown with gauges and switches. The crotch dash increases the amount of space you have to install controls that the driver must be able to reach while strapped in the car.

Forward battery tray. Shown with great Odyssey dry cell battery. This little battery has 1000CCA and will start a diesel truck.

Engine locator. Allow the engine to be located in the chassis so it will not move during hard acceleration and we install it in such a way that it is not in the way of servicing the transmission.

Alternator kit for dragster or altered. Keeps the battery fully charged to keep the MSD operating at full efficiency. No down time back in the pits recharging the batteries either.

Clutch pedal for Adjust-a-rail pedal assembly

Electrical accessories -------------------------------------------

Coil mount for Chevrolet

Electrical quick disconnects. Small ones are great for recharging batteries and the large one is great for remote starters or remote batteries..

Master control switch.

For more electrical accessories see - electrical section 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roll cage padding. Velcro mounting allows easy removal for cleaning. Bars on the front of the roll cage are the drivers exit assist bars. This is a great ideal if the car has a high side body.

Transmission temperature block. Measures the temperature at the hottest point - as it is leaving the converter. Find out just what is going on in your trans.

Water expansion tank. The water overflow is plumbed into the bottom of the tank so when the engine cools it pulls the water back into the engine.

Front brakes on a dragster. Absolutely the best idea yet! Controlled with a separate brake handle while the rear brakes are controlled with the foot pedal. Much like a motorcycle it allows the driver to apply the front brakes as much as he wants to. This configuration has stopped the Drag Race School car from 150 mph with nothing but the front brakes. No parachute and no rear brakes were used in the test. As we all know a dragster or altered will occasionally bounce in the shut down area. When this happens applying the rear brakes only makes the car bounce worse. In the DRS car you can apply a little front brake pressure and the car will immediately stop bouncing and the rear brakes can then be applied. 

Powerglide shifter cable mounting and actuator arm.

KLRC Powerglide shifter. Shown with parachute lever mounted to the back of the shifter. Also the cable in front of the shift lever runs forward to the electric solenoid the operates the rpm activated shifter.

Electric shift solenoid connect to the shifter via cable to pull the shifter into high gear.

The water pump that cools a 500 cubic inch, 14-1 compression monster.!!!

KLRC radiator mount and cover. Dzus button latch in the front and a hinge mounting in the rear allow the radiator to be mounted back away from the driver and the fuel tank and over the transmission. The swing away mounting still allows easy access to the transmission for checking and servicing.

Radiator cover and radiator swing up so you can see the bottom and gives access to the trans.

Rear mount battery box with transmission overflow catch tank mounted just to the right of the battery box.

Parachute and parachute mounting.

Parachute shroud line mounting on single parachute application.

Trans to diff coupler - Trans cover - Trans oil temp block

Ken Lowe Race Cars front wheels.

Flanged axle diff housing. Shown with lightened diff mounting plates, back brace, drain bung, jack pad, wheelie bar mounts, inspection bung and plug, antirotate mounts and parachute mount.

Jack pad and wheelie bar mount.

Inspection bung and plug.

Face brace and bowl welding for Ford diff assemblies.

Throttle pedal travel stop for Adjust-a-rail pedal assembly. This prevents the drivers adrenlinin from pressing the throttle pedal so hard that he damages or breaks the throttle linkage.

KLRC Powerglide shifter.

MSD mounting tray on the inside of the foot box cover inside the drivers compartment..

KLRC Modular diff assembly with fabricated housing..

Dual parachute shroud line mounts with top mount antirotate on KLRC Modular diff assy.

Lightened chassis mounting plates

Fuel shut off lever, mounting and cable. Note: this is where we mounted our data logger down load cable.

Master cylinder mount for hand brake applications.

Seats available in fiberglass, carbon(shown) and Kevlar.

Dragster safety plate.

Computer access door recessed in the side of the body.

Foot box cover.

Driver exit assist bars. Very handy on cars with high side bodies.

Panel doubler - a must have for all supercharged cars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gauges and instruments - see Instruments

Throttle pedal and mounting for non Adjust-a-rail mounting.

Helmet peg. Hook the D ring of the helmet here to hold the helmet while you are strapping yourself in or driving back up the return road.

.
Seat belt hook. Keeps the belts off the bottom of the seat so you can sit down with out sitting on the seat buckle. Makes it much easier to strap yourself in the car.

Two piece floor pan is much easier to remove while the car is assembled.

Spindle tow hooks.
