Took our car out testing this past weekend and it was given us fits. Seemed as though we couldn't get the suspension right and even with our bad tuning so to speak, the car ran better than it ever has on a terrible run. The car left good, picked up the tires about 6inches walking a little left, then a little after it settled, the rear end washed out making quite a mid track move for a 6sec 1/8th mile bracket car. I was sitting there thinking, that was a terrible run, lo and behold, the darn thing ran a 6.388 @ 107. You should've seen the smile on me and my brothers face, and my dad was smiling himself after getting out of the car. It was good to make some progress with our cars since we just don't race as much anymore which puts us behind the 8 ball big time. I must say however, it feels pretty good knowing there's a tenth or more left in the car.

As for changes, we've got work with the ladder bar and change the front suspension travel. We believe the car is coming down too hard and unsettling the rear tires.

Any, follow the links below for pictures, its the gold 72 Plymouth Duster:

Nice ...reminds me of my old Duster..

Congrats! Cool couple of pics.

Looks good, what's the setup.
Mick

thats always good news. how much better than before?

Congrats............I`ve had runs like that where it doesn`t feel right and then get the slip and go "damn" didn`t feel that fast...........

New bests are always great!

I love a new personal best.
Congrats, and keep working on the chassis adjustment and it will get even better!

Thanks for the congrats everyone. The combo we run is a 499 low deck stroker w/untouched EZ's. Single Plane Edelbrock Victor with a dominator. Full roller valvetrain as well. Prior to this, we ran a slew of 6.60's with the car after putting this new engine in the car. Since then, made some timing changes and a cam change and this thing woke up and has responded much better. Its just like anything, it takes time to get everything working in sync the way its supposed to. Once we get the car figured out completely, we'll start competing in some local bracket racing. Don't know whos gonna drive, me or my dad? I've had no seat time and he hasn't raced on a continuous basis for years so we're both green. Anyway, we're looking forward to the rest of the year.

Nice!! How much does the car weigh?
