mech, no this track is in Epping NH just off NH Rt101. About four miles from the NH State Liquor store. .....Hippy

I’ll get some pictures in the morning,that hard pipe is where it gets it’s air intake from even though it has a whole rubbed in it there shouldn’t be any air coming out with truck switched off should it.

Yep.. can you post a picture or pictures? We can help more, and it can help others ..

yrs back having the two "49 Macks , I became a member of both ATHS/ATCA, Macks are gone so are both memberships. I came across an issue of Double Clutch recently :what box it's in =anybody's guess . few challenges at the moment , going through boxes of items scaling back personal belongings.

Yes it is a Wabco ,it has a big hard pipe that runs up to the air box just noticed a hole has rubbed in it when I cut the truck off air comes out the hole.

is the new England Dragway being discussed same as the Connecticut dragstrip located in Colchester CT?? if so the CT Dragway closed years ago, last of my knowledge it was being used by consumer protection for testing misc items. fact I went there once through Cummins sponsored program for testing ???? don't remember . Fred Munday was instructor. somewhere I know I have pictures of the funny cars running there.

I assume its a Wabco pump. Does it have a hard pipe on the discharge side ?

way too little info to make much of a guess, but if only leaks out of the compressor side of the air intake once pressure has built to cut-out, then it would be the unloader in the compressor that is leaking. If it leaks back all the time the compressor is running, then it could be an intake valve. Really need to know what compressor. Start by feeding shop air into the system and see where it is leaking out.

I have a 2006 Mack aset with air compressor popping off frequently,and there’s air coming out the air intake tube from compressor ,and it’s pushing oil to dryer also ,any help would be appreciated.

Hey Bob! NE Dragway is still open. Right now they might be running snowmobiles. 1974 l had a '64 International 49 passenger school bus converted to a camper. The girlfriend and l would go to Star Speedway an oval track couple miles down the road Saturday afternoon. Stay overnight then go up to NE Dragway Sunday morning. Back when it was fun!😉 .....Hippy

Suffolk was another one in VA. that's closed, that's where they had the national events, NHRA sanctioned races. The others, even Richmond, were pretty much the locals, "run what you brung" type of tracks. I went to Suffolk a couple of times and saw some great racing. Saw a couple of Chevy II's there running in the 11's with 6 cylinder engines. Not a big deal now I guess, but this was in the 70's. And a solid black Corvette with the "big 6" GMC truck motor in it. When it left the front wheels came up about 6 inches, same thing when he hit second, third, and fourth gear. And ran arrow straight, and turned consistent 10.00's. Might run a 9.99 or a 10.01, but it was a very impressive car, to me anyway.

🤔

it sure pays to know people a guy put mine on a drop deck and hauled it 60 miles for 100 bucks,,,i didnt know him,,,,but he was tight with the guy i was storing it at,,bob

Struth, a lot has changed in the last 32 years Spotted this and thought, absolutely nothing to do with cooking, so best bung it up here It sure is a different world today, different parts of the world now trying to jigger the show Paul

i think the same guys did all of the track ads,,,,when i moved to california,,,,i heard what sounded like the same guys out there doing radio commercials or maybe all upcoming events

You nailed it, I can hear it in voice of the radio ad.

well tom most of the time they start building too many houses around them,,,when originally the track was built way before they started building there sucks most of the california tracks were closed due to it,,,,and yes geoff,,,i remember those radio ads,,,,seems they used to boast sunday sunday sunday new england dragway day carlsbad ca and pensa cola both closed now and they were both on my short bucket list,,,,atleast sonoma ca is right in the middle of grape vine territory theres no houses around it,,,,just winerys,,,im sure the place is safe for now anyway,,,,i try to go out there every couple years

YES! Same thing at Richmond Dragway! Like "SUNDAY, SUNDAY,SUNDAY at Richmond Dragway! Match race madness, come see Larry in Battlestar Galactic vs. Gary in the Wisecarver Brothers Chevy II- It's Ford against Chevy, Sunday at Richmond Dragway -BE THERE!

I have no idea, but I do know a lot of local drag strips have closed. Gary Wisecarver told me years ago that insurance was one reason, it was getting more and more expensiver all the time. The drag strip I used to go to a lot when I was a teenager, Richmond Dragway, just closed in the last few years. New London Dragway, just out of Lynchburg, also closed. I think Waynesboro and Natural Bridge are closed too, but I'm not sure.

"SUNDAY_SUNDAY-SUNDAY" is how the ads of radio started, for the dragway. I remember them all these years later. Epping, NH

We used to go there quite a bit when we were a teenagers. I haven’t been there since about 1974. I just looked it up on Google to see if it was still there and it says yes it’s still standing and it’s still active but it says they closed on Saturday And Sunday this did not sound right to me. Does anybody know anything about the place or is that a misprint or what’s the deal weekend? That’s when everybody is off why would the drag strip be closed? I figured somebody would know. Thanks, Bob.
