I can generally get 60' times in the 1.80s. Unlike the others, I keep 35 lbs in the rear tires. A slipper style clutch is important. Try looking at a McLeod soft loc or similar. Keep the base pressure relatively low and add something in the 35+ grams of weight total on the fingers. Of course good su... |

A great day racing with some really good ETs. Congrats to Ted on his win and his all time best ET. Congrats to Rhett and his magic carb and I believe an all time best ET as well. There were some amazing 60' times on Saturday too. I look forward to Atco.

John,
Looks beautiful! Can't wait to race with you again. It's been too long. The 442 was getting lonely. More rocket power is always a good thing!

A great day. Thanks again Ralph. It was great seeing everyone. Congrats to Ted and Ted Jr. It seems grandma's Nova packs a punch. Good job Ted Jr!
I stayed for the 422 All Stars races and Wayne's son went home as top dog. Scott |

John,
It's looking great so far. Hope all goes well at the paint shop. I'm looking forward to seeing another rocket at track next year! I expect you to run in the 11s next year!
Good luck this winter.

A used factory 4.10 Dana 60 ring and pinion $75.00 in good shape. I'm posting it here for Wayne Shipley who did a gear swap for someone some years back that was looking for something a little more street friendly. You can contact me if you're interested. I could bring it to Atco or E-Town when we ra... |

Ralph, On Saturday at Cecil I beat Greg and Rhet for the consolation round win. Greg and I were close, but I passed him at about the 1000' mark running a 12.17 (my best to date). Then I ran Rhet and he tree'd me (as usual!) but he spun. It was all over by the 330' mark; Rhet with a 12.82 to my 12.24... |

Thanks Ralph. Another outstanding event. Buick guys were great hosts.
It was great to see everyone. I had a great time. Awesome race with Greg! I can't wait to mix it up in November with Tom the Freight Train and Greg. It could make for some interesting racing.

Ralph's MOPAR mojo is going to need to work overtime with all those GM cars at the track but alas even with my new coil and MSD box, I fear he's right. Where's a quick Camaro or Nova when you need one! |

John,
It's looking good. You've done some serious work! It should really hook. Think about the W and Z exhaust manifolds from Ram Air Restorations.
