my Low dollar 318 hop-up project

sounds to me like a victory lap, just lugging along.
Yeah I just got the Stroker motor and 4-speed back in the car after that pink 318 and automatic. (That I rebuilt for said race) cut the roll bar out and put the full interior in it. I was just glad to be out at the try and running it down the quarter-mile. I wasn't trying to do anything reckless with my first time at the track on street tires.
