Call to find out for sure. I think it's 1/4 mile all weekend. Rock and roll! Although it was cold last October, the bite was there. Here's our own TomMoparMan.

My dad and I will be there. I'm guessing that it'll be 1/4 mile all weekend, I can't see any reason they wouldn't, unless they have high crosswinds.

That black duster is a very nice car, we took several pics of it last year.
My car has a 5.13 gear in it with a 28 x 9 tire. I don't think it will make the 1/4 mile. We just have 2 1/8 mile tracks around here. Probably won't bring a car now. Might do the swap meet though.

Tom's car runs consistant 8:80's. (And it just drives away) This pass was a 1.203 60' and a 5.60@ 124+ in the 1/8th. 8.770 154+ in the 1/4.
I hope to see you there.

We got a few parts loaded up for the swap meet. Coming up Friday after noon, looks like the weather is going to be nice. Hope to see you there!
Beauty of a weekend for Mopar Max at Cedar Falls Raceway. I couldn't make it out on Saturday but I made it today. Lots of Fast Mopars there today. I'll post the A bodies first. tmm
Here's a few more!
More Mopars! The Lime green Lancer ran in the 12's with a Leaning Tower of Power. The Valiant was a /6 car also but I could never see it run or catch the guy to ask how fast it was.

Hey toolman, the red Duster with the white stripe is mine 
It was a great weekend, absolutely gorgeous weather. I ran in the Mopar Muscle class both days. I had some problems hooking up on Saturday and lost 2nd round, so I swapped out the front shocks after my brother pointed out that the front end was bouncing.
Out came the drag shocks and in went a pair of cheap stock replacement gas charged shocks. Traction problem solved and I cleaned up in Mopar Muscle today.
So, I finally have my car hooking consistently on the street tires, ran its best ever (through the mufflers, no [email protected]), and everybody went home in one piece.

Congrats! I saw your car, saw you run, and I saw you cruising out. I never did get a chance to stop over and say Hi. I met you at Spocolis as you were pulling inline to park. I asked you if you were from town and you said "5 blocks that way" I had never seen your car before. I don't get out much I guess.. LOL

Thanks Mike
I remember chatting with you briefly at the Spicoli's cruise. I need to get out to more of the local cruise-ins and stuff like that, usually I'm just driving my car back and forth to work and mess around with it on quiet back roads. I do pop out now and again at Cedar Falls Raceway, but haven't gotten out there as much in the last couple of years.

Here's a couple shots of TomMoparMan. He and wife Vicki are always a class act. They were flying (8.70's). I have been active on Facebook with a local group interested in the history of our local drag strip. https://www.facebook.com/groups/neita.raceway/ I was chatting with a old drag racer and looking through old photo albums so I didn't see Tom run in the finals. Maybe he will chime in and give us some numbers. tmm
