Not so much a clone Hemi Dart
Well it turned out to be a good weekend. Got to make 3 time trial hits Thursday. Car started off in the 9.90’s, so I started leaning the carbs. By Saturday it was in the 9.80’s in the heat and humidity pretty sure it would have went 9.70’s Sunday (better air) but I was told I couldn’t dial faster than 10.0 due to the lack of enough roll cage. No time trial Sunday. Brakes absolutely suck. I knew it needed a brake uograde but decided to run it anyway. I could barely make the return road on a full pass. Also I had to leave off idle, both Friday and Saturday eliminations I went out first round when I tried to bring the car up off idle a little and it learched deep into the lights and causing me to red light. By Sunday I was at peace with the fact we were going to leave dead off idle. Made it all the way to the finals in hemi super stock dialing 10.0. Pretty cool consisting my car was the only one I seen in the class that had a license plate and was an actual street car. I think there’s more left. I would like to see some more mph out of it and some better 60’s as well. Best 60ft was 1.38 after tweaking on the shocks and bars a little. Looks like it was almost driving over the tire. The big hemi performed flawlessly, cooling and charging system proved up to the task of hot lapping with ease.
This was a good pass, too bad I had to scrub it down to a 10.0…
Final round
