Walbern Dragsters

[TempestNightmare]

Whats up people,
Does anyone own or used to own a Walbern dragster?
Just wondering how good they are built and if they are worth the money.
I am told buy my LHS that bolink is trash, New Era is High priced but
not as good as Walbern. But he has just opened up an account with Walbern so
I do not trust his opinion yet.
Thanx in advance for any info.
Jon

A LOT of people run Bolink vehicles. They are just fine.

Thanx Kerry, just ordered the bolink. One question, do you know if the
Bolink can be used with a starter box, or should I get the OS cv-r with pull
start?
Thanx again,
Jon

Jon,

The Bolink will work with the starting box without a hitch. I have seen
them used on the funny car and the rail. Just be sure you get the short
shaft version, there is not much room to work with on these guys.

Cool, Thanx Shannon. I am ordering the short shaft, didn't see no room for a
pull start...I was just hoping I didn't have to use a yank eliminator!! hate
them! I already have the starter box for my Super Nitro.

Shannon,
What is your opinion of the bolink?? Now that I have ordered it I hope
it is good!! LOL
Do the guys down there run tuned exhausts? I see that as a first up
grade as the can muffler that is coming is junk!
Also What about a two speed trans? ever see one used?
Thanx,
Jon
