Completely Stock slant six Duster at the track!
Howdy! Well, I've been wanting to get into racing for quite some time, and it's been planned to put a warmed 360 into my Duster, but before I made any mods, I really wanted to know what times it would run on the slant six. Well, here in Edmonton, Alberta on the weekend, we had the 10th anniversary Edmonton Mopar Club back to the track event at the local drag strip. It was a combination Show and Shine with use of the drag strip as well. Overall the event was absolutely fantastic.
I went two runs down the track in my 72 Duster with the 225. I'm around 270lbs, so the car was sitting pretty heavy. I ran a 20.88 at 66MPH, which is almost exactly what I thought I could run. I had some issues right off the line both times I ran, and think if I had a run without any issues I could probably run a high 19. The point is, it was the most fun I have ever had. I can't wait to get that small block in there and get back to it.
Anyone else ever run their slant six? Out of every single car there I was the slowest by about 2 seconds, but it didn't matter, the point was, I took it out.
