I think the coronet has a lot more in it with a few tweaks to the chassis. So, I'll be focusing on that for me. What are you all doing? Mike 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger

Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

I can attest to how life can derail alot of well meaning plans. Great news. Me? I am hoping that 2012 will finally be "Leigh's year". I've had a ton of s h i t happen the last 7, and am ready to see that little winking yellow light come on in my lane. Oh, and to keep on topic (I've never had problems with that ) Slicks, E85 carb, all new shocks and a Fat Joe's chassis tune up.

I'm currently putting together a plan for becoming an independent race announcer. That way I can pick the weekends and events I want to work. I've gotten some great advice and help from many people over the years, and I should be mailing a brochure and business cards out at the beginning of the year to about 30 tracks and promoters in and around Ohio. I'm hoping to also move into voice over and commercial work as well. Maybe I'll see some of you at the track a little more next season! Ron H.

Also going to swap out the leaf springs for a Chris Alston ladder bar kit w/adjustable Strange coil overs, and of course move the rear wheel wells to the frame for more tire clearance. Hopefully run in the 10.50 zone! And YES, I'll be plowing some snow also! 73 Dart Sport 340, 410ci, Indy 360-2 230CNC. 72 Demon 340 4-speed 01 Ram Quad Cab 89 Mustang LX Boss 331,C4,HP76mm turbo, FAST EFI 86 Mustang GT 5.0 AOD 82 Capri RS 306, Fox Lake Stage 1 TW, N41, T5,etc.
