Rich Daly had never set up a drag sled when he picked up a copy of Straightline Racer last spring. As the owner of Dyno Port, an aftermarket pipe and engine mod company, he hadn't spent much time dabbling in clutch work, and none on the suspensions of the sleds he worked on. But after a quick read, he was hooked. "I'm pretty mad at you guys," he told us in a mid-season interview. "You made it sound real easy to build a Prostock 800 sled. I figured I could put a strong motor in and use big horsepower to compensate for my inexperience with suspension. It doesn't work that way."
