nothing wrong with that, i loved racing my slant six dart, 18 seconds of pure fun---and like you said, the faster guys hate waiting on the line. most of the guys i raced with had to wait approx 4 seconds, one guy in our class had to wait almost 8 seconds before his light came down.

I am looking forward to it, cause I can drive to and from the track, and not use loads of fuel. I raced in a bone stock pinto once, and took a class win for the night....the other guys ALL broke out! O.G.

Bracket racing is all about consistancy, so even if you takes you RELIABLE 20 seconds EVERYTIME then go for it!

My thoughts on a slant six---my reciepe for a dependable bracket motor
Stock 225 with a little higher compression (close to zero deck if possible.
Long rods would be nice, but not neccesary
4 barrel intake with 600 cfm double pumper
long tube header to fit the trucks
Camshaft that isnt to much bigger than stock (still need tourqe to get that thing moving)
28-30" tall tires
3.91-4.10 gearing
auto trans with manual valvebody or 3.09 first gear 4-speed (found in mid seventies A & F bodies--convert to long shaft for truck use)
I figure that should make it a fun package that is super dependable and runs great---should put it in the 16 sec range im thinking, but im just guessing too.

I didn't know there are streets big/long enough where you are moving to support a cruise night...

Maybe some slight work on the truck this weekend. The new plugs definetly cleaned the running of it up, need to change the oil and go out for another test without the mrs so i can hammer it. But time is short, 3 weeks untill we get married and we should be within a couple of weeks ready to close on a house so i need to start packing like yesterday. Of course updates to follow........
