1st dragstrip trip.

My 1st time to actually go down the track was in 1989. I gave a 150 dollars for a '73 Dart swinger that had lots of miles, some rust and had been hit in the drivers fender. It was my work car/winter car. It went 16.71 at 81 mph with the very greasy, complete bone stock 318 2bbl, single exhaust, and snow tires on the back (lol). And I still have that E.T. slip, among the stack of all the cars I've ever run! lol But let me tell ya, that Swinger never left me sitting, the A/C still worked, and I beat my cousins 350 4bbl Camaro, my brothers '86 Laser turbo automatic (both those races were close), and I almost beat my friends '77 Cutlass with a Olds 350 4bbl and mild cam. I was ahead for most the way but he went by me before we cross the line. That Swinger had punch... lol
