My old Dart at the Texas Thaw (vids)

Heres a few vids my wife took yesterday at the Texas Thaw Nostalgia event at Northstar Drag strip in Denton Texas.I finally got the gutts to use the transbrake on the launch .I figured if it breaks it breaks.It didnt break ,but it did manage to pop the front tires up a few inches when i dropped the button each time ,launching at about 3400 rpm.The car needs lower gears ,but i still managed to get 1.60 and 1.61 60 foots all day long with the old slapper bars.The 8 point rollbar stiffend the car up alot .Had a blast all day .The last vid is me losing in the second round of eleminations to a sleeper 428 super duty powered 57 Pontiac .I laughed it him when i staged next to him ,but he layed a 7.27 down on me to my 7.29 .I got him off the line ,but that big motor ran me down right at the stripe .Well heres the vids if you want to look ...
