First Drag Race

[HemiTM]

I am bragging on my son. Today was his first time behind the wheel of the Dart. He ran the Summit Series at Famoso. Time trialed with back to back 13.88`s. The in first round he got lined up against a new ZR1 Corvette. Well his day ended there. But I am one proud Papa!!!

ZR1 dialed a 12.09. I saw him run a low 11 earlier in the day. Watched him hit the brakes once he caught the dart. He ended up with a 12.23 when he beat my son. We dialed a 13.85. Thanks for the compliment on the car. It`s the little 318 that could...LOL

For a 318 look like it was hooking good, what have you done to it.

SS springs, CE shocks 90/10 front, 50/50 rear. Hoosier 26 9.5 14 QTP`s aired down to 14 pounds. Frame is connected. It hooks good. We have the 60 foot times down to 1.96. When we started we were at 2.10 or more.
