Another drag n drive event has popped up down in Florida. This one is being put on by 2019 Dragweek winner, Tom Bailey. We’ll be down there in our 71 Dart shooting for 10.00s as usual. Come say Hi if we get close to your neck of the woods

Starts in Martin, Michigan this year. Anybody else going? I was signed up for 2020 so when it got canceled I got to early register for 2021. Been busy getting the Dart all tuned up and ready. Freshened up the Cope built 904 now its just down to tuning. Going to a test and tune in Bowling...

Went down to Jakes Dragstrip in Danville, AL this weekend for an event put on by Rattymuscle cars called the Mopar vs BrandX street car showdown. They require a 40 mile drive before the race to prove it's a street car. I was in a class called Barely Legal since my car has a power adder...

Roll call! I got registered for DW2020. Anybody else going this year? This will be my 4th year in a row for the Dart!

Drag week is going good, but I need a little help. Car just went 10.54 but only 119 mph, should be 129-130 range. 414 small block with B1SC Procharger 9 lbs of boost, Cope racing 904, Ultimate 5,000 stall converter Wondering why it’s falling off on the big end. Somethings wrong bc it’s gone...

Took the Dart to Bowling Green on Saturday and ran 10.65 @ 128. The car launched hard, pulled the front wheels almost a foot off the ground then lost traction. I have SS springs, CR 9 way adjustable shocks in the back. Cheap 90/10s up front. The Back shocks are set on 7. Should I adjust...

Just got registered! What other Mopars will be there? Sold out in 4 minutes this year. Now I just have to finish rebuilding the dart! Can't wait.

I recently installed a fiberglass bumper and aluminum brackets on my 71 Dart. It's kind of a sleeper so I didn't want to just paint it black. Wanted to keep the stock look so I got it wrapped in chrome vinyl. I wasn't sure how it would turn out but I like it! Since it turned out so good I'm...

Hey Guys, just thought I'd share my 1/8th mile ET differences after swapping out the 8 3/4 with 3.91s to a Dana 60 with 3.54 gears. Also added a 6 point roll bar but deleted the carpet. So, maybe I added 50 lbs total? Still have front and rear bench seats. The track didn't have scales. The...

I'm having a 6 point roll bar installed in the 71 Dart. What have you guys done for paint in the past? Take the time to mask it off and rattle can? I've also heard of guys using a small roller and a foam brush? Any photos of the finished product would be great! Thanks!

My 71 Dart is a street/strip car. Has gone low 12s - high 11s. I am currently adding a Dana 60 and roll bar so I can go Procharger. Hoping to go low 10s. I have heard that the trans blanket keeps a lot of heat in the transmission. Will a sheild fit without modifying the floor? If so what are...

Hey everybody, I'm headed up to Bowling Green this Saturday for some test and tune to make a few 1/4 mile passes on the Dart. I've only been able to run the 1/8th so far with my junkyard magnum setup. Anyway, just seeing if any members are close that would want to go as well. Looks like gates...

I recently wore out my MT ET street 275/60/15s. I rolled the dice on Nitto 555 275/60/15s after reading mixed reviews hoping they would hook at the track but offer better traction in the rain since I put on a lot of street miles. I guess it was a bad gamble on my part. My previous best 60 ft...

Took the dart to the track Friday night. I didn't know it was import night until I got there :violent1: I thought, Oh well I'll make a couple passes anyway. First pass off the trailer was a new best of 7.83 in the 1/8th at 85.70 MPH. I went back to my trailer and changed my stock 750 DP jets...

I have finally got the Dart ready to make a few passes so I'm going to the Union Hill drag strip this coming Tuesday. Howard (draginmopars) will there as well in his bad *** 4 door Dart. If anyone is near the area it would be cool to meet some other FABO members. I believe another friend of...

I think the dates are September 8th - 14th. I know they will be in Bowling Green and Memphis not sure where else. This is close to me so I am thinking about trying it. Just got to get my built 904 swapped in and The Dart would be ready!

Ok so I took my 71 dart 318 to the track last fall after I had just purchased it. Original 318/904/7.25 combo. I don't know the internal specs of the engine but it's got headers to 2.5 flowmasters, original heads (not sure of compression or if any work has been done to heads), a weiand stealth...

I am pretty new to FABO and recently purchased my 71 Dart. It's a 318/904/ 7 1/4 combo. The 318 has mild performace upgrades but the previous owner didn't know the specs of the heads or cam. I wanted to get a baseline ET before I start my performance modifications so here it is. 15.53 @ 88...
