1969 Dart Street/Strip (Re)Build
Spent last Saturday at MoKan Dragway at the Mopars Invade event. Didn’t do any good but we had good times. I red lit -.005 in the first round. Then I had to decide what time to throw on the window for the buy back round. The dilemma stemmed from the track not being prepped the best. I’d run 10.60’s in the left lane and 11.00-11.10’s in the right lane. So I threw 11.00 on there hoping they’d put me in the right lane. Nope! I got left lane and had to go against a 17+second pickup. I let off but not nearly enough and blew past him and ran a 10.85. So I was out of the race and had the rest of the day to enjoy a beer or two with friends.
On the ride home we encountered some rain and man did it leave my car nasty! Wish I had an enclosed hauler for this car.
