1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years
Easy on the hole-shots. My 50 year old spider gears spit the bit last Friday on my first (attempted) 1/4 mile pass in my Duster. Lined up, dropped the hammer @ 3500 (315 drag radials / 4:30 gear / 4-link) and with a track prepped for John Force (extra sticky), traction was not an issue. It bit hard...and immediately went BOOM. Trip home sponsored by my AAA Gold card.
New spiders coming to get me back on the road for the summer but a Strange S-60 (Dana 60) is in the cue.
No complaints, those 50 year old spider gears lasted over 12 years in this thing alone.....hard to say the abuse they endured before that.
