Anyone here run in these. Im signed up for the Redwood Rally.
That is the perfect look for a Barracuda. Blue. Small tire. Carrying the front tires a little bit. Great picture.I have done 8 drag weeks, probably sign up this year also depending on where it is. No better time can be had with your car, 5+ days of racing and traveling with race car people, it's hard to beat.
Test and prepare is the best advice I can give. I have been lucky and have done all 8 with little trouble. Couple of MSD boxes(went EFI to get rid of that stuff) some pushrod adjusters, and one broken rocker arm are the ones I can remember. Got lucky in 2021 when I broke a rocker arm and didn't have a spare. Harland Sharp overnighted us one to the hotel and we were back on the road the next morning. That is the closest call I have had to not being able to make a pass under full power.
Best average has been 10.57 in 2021, changed cams last year and slowed down a little bit

Thank you sir. The perfect look would be with the factory hood in my opinion. But I really wanted to play with a tunnel ram lol.That is the perfect look for a Barracuda. Blue. Small tire. Carrying the front tires a little bit. Great picture.
Couldn’t agree more.In a perfect world this would have a turbo on it with a stock hood. Its a goal, with either this R1 W2 motor or a Gen III.
Damn, I didn't need to see that lolI have done 8 drag weeks, probably sign up this year also depending on where it is. No better time can be had with your car, 5+ days of racing and traveling with race car people, it's hard to beat.

Hey I was in the middle of nowhere Ohio when I had to pull the cover and see that lol. I was 43 years old at the time and the look of disappointment on my Dad's face when I told him I forgot to order spares hit just as hard as it did when I was a kid LOL.Damn, I didn't need to see that lol
Damn that's crazy, I better get some spares.Hey I was in the middle of nowhere Ohio when I had to pull the cover and see that lol. I was 43 years old at the time and the look of disappointment on my Dad's face when I told him I forgot to order spares hit just as hard as it did when I was a kid LOL.
I think the shaft wore out and caused it to bind, it broke at 3500RPM on the highway. We pulled the pushrod, zip tied the bearings over the oil holes and drove it another hour to the hotel. UPS showed up at 8:10AM we slapped another arm on it and finished the week. I sent the shaft and broken rocker to HS and they warrantied it. It had a groove worn it from the bearing, the bearing looked fine. After drag week I pulled the other side and found some heavy wear on that shaft also, again they warrantied it. That was in 2021, I haven't looked at it since drag week 22 lol.
I am in the same boat!Got signed up for Drag Week 2023. My car is even ready at the moment so I am sure I will break it and/or decide to take it apart before September lol.
