Great event been to it numerous times. Always found it strange it was advertised as Saint Louis, but it was in Illinois. One of my favorites events.

I knew a dude had about the same color year Barracuda. It was a nmca shootout, he ran some 10.0s stood it on the bumper and ran 9.90 something streetcar w5 390 something. Owned a Chevy dealership.

You know I’ve never run Mickey Thompson tires. The 10.5w Slick I came close to using, but went with M&H again. A close buddy swears by the Street Mickeys. I’m all about a radial tire and drag radials I like. I’ve had a couple sets now, and they have promise. The M&H were a wormy tire on the...

They’re are known for having a somewhat longer life on the street. I’ve got a couple thousand miles and a couple dozen passes on them. Over half tread left. I should get another couple seasons out of them

My daughter and I mounted new tires on the wife’s Challenger. We drove it all over the place it seems, this was at Five guys for a burger.

I love my Nitto drag radials. Probably better then the BFG I had before. I need to wrap up my Dart so I can burn them up soon, as they are 3 years old and don’t like them to reach 4-5 years old. But they still look incredible, and would hardly spin after warmed up powering the Challenger to its...

So far awesome tires. The ride is like nothing I’ve experienced, and they don’t jump around and beat you up like any of the other brands available.

We will see how long the honeymoon last, but there the straightest tracking tires I’ve had on this car, after 16 years of ownership. I’ve had all of the above, and am sick of anyone of those tires above. I used to get a Goodyear Eagle GT years ago on numerous A bodies I’ve had. At the time the...

Just put Hankook Kynergy ST on the Challenger and am shocked the difference between the less than 3 year old Cooper Cobras I haven’t liked since day one. Car drives better then most late model rides, especially with the Borgeson gearbox, just finished a 80 mile cruise and the ride is night and...

Or I can swap some minty chrome Moroso valve covers if interested

If no takers I’d pick it up next weekend and I’d buy lunch. You can pick the place.

Clay barred the Challenger and gave it it’s first coat of wax.

He got a weight break that I think they took back, and put the weight back on trying to slow him down. I’m betting he had a bigger engine later in the season. Everyone was trying to break the 8.50 barrier I watched him run I think 8.58 off the trailer, he parked it. Won the event at Martin, MI

A fellow I found on Ebay I needed a wiper motor, as mine was probably gonna be a problem due to the welded on wiper arm, and it stopped wherever it wanted, plus I thought I saw a small crack in the case. His eBay store is sniff-out-parts I believe it’s Tommy you can figure out the rest who’s a...

Variable switch and wiper motor install, on the Challenger This wiper motor has to be the prettiest I’ve ever seen. Not sure they were this pretty when new?
