This one can't go much faster( not going to cage it), and I would love to do some 10.00 racing again before I croak........ So that would involve another car 69 Dart GTS A4 Silver All steel, flat factory hood, 3360race weight 418 BPE factory replacement headed stroker, 565 lift solid cam Best so far, 10.40 @127 1/4 1.41 best 60 foot 6.60 at 103.90 1/8

I know several racers that store theirs in those gated storage lockers. Not sure how much they pay for the space, but it is locked and has an on site guard 24-7 Old Geezer Racing

I kept it in there for a few weeks so I could really get to know it. BTW, the card board under you car looks kind of bad...I guess it leaks?

Russ Next few days here going to send the carb out, install a sharks tooth over the winter , add taller front tires and electric water pump before I race it next season. At that point it's gonna be as done as it's going to get. Tires and pump will do after I get it out of here in the spring. Might pop the rear bumper off and have a buddy smooth it out a little better and repaint it. 69 Dart GTS A4 Silver All steel, flat factory hood, 3360race weight 418 BPE factory replacement headed stroker, 565 lift solid cam Best so far, 10.40 @127 1/4 1.41 best 60 foot 6.60 at 103.90 1/8

The trailer will be inside the pole barn to keep it out of the weather and so the drive can be plowed easier. The pole barn just can't be sealed up well enough to keep the rodents out. Unless I take over my step dad's garage and have my car in there for the winter. Lol David

Yeah, get a small little spot under it if it sits awhile( power steering), more to not get anything on that floor and mess it up. 69 Dart GTS A4 Silver All steel, flat factory hood, 3360race weight 418 BPE factory replacement headed stroker, 565 lift solid cam Best so far, 10.40 @127 1/4 1.41 best 60 foot 6.60 at 103.90 1/8
