Welcome trevor, I'm also bracket racing a barracuda in VA. What part of VA are you in.and what track are you planning to race. If you take any of the advice of the other members the first thing would be the valve springs.i have always looked at the valve spring ,lock ,retainer as the pin in the grenade.do whatever you can afford to ensure the pin stays in the grenade.if you are close to summer duck that is a good track to get seat time.wednesday , Thursday and Saturday and Sunday something is going down that track good luck with the car and keep it green.
