Finally our Queensland weather has cooled and this weekend is our first of three Qld mopar meetings, I'm loading up the Duster today to head up the great dividing range to a country town called Warwick that has the best 1/8 track for miles around. I'm defending champion from last year where I ran a string of lazy 6.8s off the footbrake but this year I'm on the t brake with a whole new engine combo & Thumper carb looking for mid low 6s

I would mark them at the valve stem After about the third swap, rotating them from passenger side to drivers side, they would stop moving Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

Was still great to get out into the wide open Queensland country side, love a good road trip, praise the lord.
