Ran my 74 Dart!

Hey guys, just got my 74 dart last week, and decided to give it a run this week. It's a 74 Dart Special Edition, it's got most options, AC, PS, Auto, 318 with the 2 barrel carb. The only mods to this car are a hacked up cherry bomb dual exhaust, a K&N drop in filter, a set of 205/70/14 rear tires, and the previous owner thought there might have been a set of gears in it. The speedo isn't working, so I can't verify it right now.

Anyway, to the track. I raced at Capitol Raceway in Crofton, MD. Everyone was complaining most of the night that they were running a few tenths slower than they usually ran.

I teched in, and the guy asked what I thought I would run. I wrote down 17.0 with no hesitation, I read around on the boards and just thought it would be that slow. I really surprised myself. I only hit a 17 when I screwed up my launch and spun, catching a 2.6 60'. For all the runs, I just left it in drive and let the car do it's thing. It was shifting into 3rd around the 1000' mark or so.

Anyway, here's a breakdown of my runs:
1st run:
60': 2.286
330': 6.798
1/8: 10.698
1/8 MPH: 63.19
1000': 14.045
1/4: 16.881
1/4 MPH: 79.90

2nd run: Car had a small stutter at the top of 2nd gear. I'm assuming a spark issue.
60': 2.291
330': 6.836
1/8: 10.744
1/8 MPH: 63.14
1000': 14.087
1/4: 16.923
1/4 MPH: 79.81

3rd run: Tried launching a little too hard, didn't let the car hook up first.
60': 2.612
330': 7.182
1/8: 11.049
1/8 MPH: 63.68
1000': 14.372
1/4: 17.190
1/4 MPH: 80.46

4th run:
60': 2.308
330': 6.840
1/8: 10.721
1/8 MPH: 63.52
1000': 14.053
1/4: 16.882
1/4 MPH: 80.06

5th run: Called my buddy that I bought it from to let him know I was running. He told me the gas foot pedal was blocking the pedal from the floor, and to take it off. Definately helped me.
60': 2.269
330': 6.750
1/8: 10.575
1/8 MPH: 64.27
1000': 13.875

1/4 MPH: 80.70

6th Run:
60': 2.275
330': 6.776
1/8: 10.645
1/8 MPH: 63.62
1000': 13.969
1/4: 16.785
1/4 MPH: 80.50

All in all I had a great time. Car was doing the weirdest thing durning the burnout box. It was a one tire fire while in the box, but when I'd let off the brake and drag it out, the other tire would spin up too. It's really weird.

Sorry for the long winded ness.
