Yup INK, Randy is multi track champion in that car, both in our Pro Gas class, and Summit series. He is my trans guy, and one of best of friends.
And look at that thing leave on Cal Tracs.....Just kidding, it is a 4 link, but he would rather have ladder bars.And he does know what he is doing.Proves the point, you don't need big wheelies to win, you want your car to shoot out of the lights.
I drove this car a couple of years ago, and it drives straight as an arrow.Our motors are the same (he built mine), except he has a smaller carb (he likes to leave lean) and smaller cam.We both have Bull Dog heads. He told me he didn't massage his while I was in California one winter, but I think he is fibbing!So you can see what 1200 LBS does to your E.T.
He was willing to let me run it, mid year durning the Summit series,when I was struggeling this year with my car and it's traction problems, but I decided I was comfortable in my car, and didn't want to change it up.
Thanks for the complements on the 300, I promised my step dad before he died (it was his car, I found it 30 yrs ago in nor cal) that I wouldn't cut it up. All we did was lower it, and add wheels and tires (conservative size) to make it more personal, and update a little.
He had a 61 300 G when I was a kid, and always missed that car, so this is the best he could do.
Randy actually did the engine and tranny a few years back, I did the underhood detail and paint.
Always remember "Where were you in 62" and you won't forget the year. Here is a little tid bit, they call them "plucked chickens" because in 61 they had wings!
Most people don't know what it is, some think it's an Edsel because of the headlights!
We drive it every where, everything works.It even still has air con with R12 in it that still works.
Those dashes where one of Chryslers super engineering feats. It is AC floresent voltage, and lights from below the needles. It s worth driving it at night just to look at it.
Last strange thing. It has no park, just the tail shaft brake on the TF. strange HUH?
I am mglad you had fun, don't forget to tell everybody, the 56 blew his driveline out next round!
