:clock:Today I went to the track,was a nice sunny day and the air was cool(15*C or around 64*F)I had to change my starter,cause the car wouldn,t start even to get the car off the trailer.Took a run into town and got a new mini-starter from the local shady garage.LOL It was pricey,anyway I got the new starter in and went for my first pass.The car ran great at 10.97@121mph 60ft 1.54 1/8 was [email protected] there was a little tailwind(about 20mph)which I,m sure helped.My next pass was [email protected] feels real good to finally be in the 10,s and call the 66 Dart a 10 second car!WooHoo!!:cheers::clock:

Scott when you are at the track you are almost in my back yard. I should give you my BB phone number so if you need something I may be able to help you out, I have a new mini starter in its box for my Dart restoration.
Congratulation, welcome to the 10 second club.

Kenny.
 
I could,ve used the new starter earlier this morning Kenny.I ended up going to the shop beside the bridge in Cayuga.The guy actually had a new one sitting there.I think I paid for his new Church suit though $$$$$.Alls good!Thanks.
 
:wav: WTG Scott, well done my friend!! :burnout:
 
Right on good job and congrats Scott.=D> That pic of your car with the snow put a chill down my spine, because we know it is not too far off. It was a nice 12C here today and took the car out for a spin, love the way they respond when its cooler out!
