Did a little better than I expected

I met these guys, they are a riot! 350 with cast iron double hump heads ... not too bad !

One time, heads up....

Heads Up 1/4 mile Racing. 400 C.I. is the target +/- 3 cubes for all cars. How would you like to get there in YOUR perfect world? What would be your factors in choosing? Or would you build it the same regardless? Truck Pulls, would it change your selection? Family sedan and fuel mileage. ??

Track went hot on Saturday (4-27-24). Because of the wind and possible rain, I left the 318 Duster at home and just took the van down, as always, all in fun. In trophy I went out first round in a "do-over". I had the tree and probably the win but the tower messed up and stopped the clocks...

I think this will be fun. No offence A-body lovers, because I'm one too !! But we've had hot rod Duster's and Dart's since the cows came home 50 years ago. I think I'm going to try a new type of fun! Everyone knows I love slow, so why not go slow in a hoogie? I am working on aligning...

2016 we did the low dollar 318 (498.00 bucks) in the Duster. 2.76 gears, stock converter, 14.95 @ 94.9 MPH. Many have asked "what do you think it would do if it was given a chance? Gears, converter? Before we pull it, we are going to find out! Original thread - my Low dollar 318 hop-up...

Had a great time with lots of wonderful people. The van went faster, but that's a story for another day. Bottom line is I had a red light in the 3rd round that sent me to the spectator section for the rest of the bracket race. Ironically, I red lit against "Red Light Ricky" from Jeray...

Jeffers Motorsports Park (1/8 mile track) in Sikeston, Missouri. Friday, September 22, 2023. Last year, we were runner up and split the door prize. If you are from FABO and going, let me know!!

Plus, we get to see if the 90 lbs weight loss actually nets about a tenth! Take your pick BEFORE you watch, then see what you think of the results!

'76 Duster fell through the cracks and has been on back burner for about 2 years. Last time out it went 12.9's. Since we've lightened it about 90 lbs. Also, the carb was robbed off of it for our truck, so that's been replaced with a new Brawler 750 DP. Other than that, the car is the same...

This is what we KNOW: UTG won by .03 (three hundredths of a second) over Casper Argument is flipping pistons is worth about 5 hp, which is about .03 in a 2900 lb car So, did the UTG - famed piston flip controversy actually put 5 grand in Tony's pocket ????

This is the RACE forum. Perhaps those that ARE going, or making a serious ATTEMPT to go, can post what car they are planning to race, what class (small tire shootout; bracket, grudge callouts, or burnout contest) and present themselves, their channel. I am not a drummer. I don't drum for...

SEPTEMBER 21 - 23 (Thurs/Fri/Sat). Sikeston, Mo. No racing on Thurs, but can tech cars. Anyone for sure going? Might be going? Nope, won't be there?

What is it now... NHRA annual membership fee ? Safety equipment the same as normal bracket racing ?? Any other fees ?? Requirements, such as having to meet at events or such? IHRA still in stock eliminator ??

For those that wondered and have asked, here is the video. Yes, it's 16+ minutes long. We had a great time.

50 day count down to the NoNameNationals in Sikeston, Missouri on Sept 30 and Oct 1. Who actually has already penciled this in on their calendar ? I will be there on Sept 30. I am leaving Saturday a.m. for home.

Sept 29 is coming fast! I can't wait to meet Adam in person. A great mopar guy that pulls them from the weeds and puts them on the road - paint and all! IF you haven't yet, go check out his channel! His 1972 Dodge shorty van will be going head to head in the 1/8 mile with the 318willrun...

Yet.... ANOTHER FABO race ??????

Anyone else?? Grudge/call out races & bracket race along with a car show, burnout contest, and a mini bike race. It's for content creators (youtube), so 500 subs needed to participate but anyone can spectate. Sikeston, Mo Sept 30 - Oct 1st. Under the AHRA owner Dallas Brown umbrella. Here...

Oh boy.....

Wind "through" or Wind "around" ??? How could/should a guy go for a gain ?? I have a couple ideas, seeing what else is out there...... And at what "speed" or MPH before it matters ?? And even then, how MUCH does it matter ??? And, is there a small change to a '80 D150 front end that...

BB mopar (440) street/pump gas motor. E-street - These tanked for me when I saw what Ed's machine found. Even a chamber bulged out putting the compressed head gasket ring on the inside of the chamber. However, reviews online are decent. Edelbrock 5090 Edelbrock E-Street Cylinder Heads |...

Looking at a 3rd member. 489 case, 3.55 and power-loc. Some of these were factory in '69?? I heard the power-locs could be a little "clunkier" but not nearly as bad as the Detroit locker? Any experience or more details/history would be great!

2021 saw my '76 Duster accomplish the goal of touching 12's.... 12.9's. It's going to go faster. Going to change the cam, converter, transmission, gears and weight loss. None of the changes will be "radical", but it won't take much to exceed what the car already has. Those that follow my...

My "local" dragway (Cordova Dragway) was sold to IRG Sports and Entertainment. They are already planning big events for 2022. I guess this is much better than having "another" dragway closed. Even though I'm not a bracket racer... just a test and tuner, I always hold my breath on new owners...

Heading into winter, strips are closed, so looking forward ..... As we continue to whittle at the ET with Drag Truck (not really a drag truck, it's a 1980 D150 long bed pulled from a farmers field). It's ran a 8.27. The transmission is a 100% stone stock 727 from a '85 D150 we got for free...

"Oh Yeah ???" ........... "YEAH !!!!!" ........ "OH YEAH ??????????" ..... YEAH !!!!

From the field, to the track..... We are really happy with the progression.
