BobR just running top sportsman for now. Just an NA BB Mopar, so no power to keep up with fast cars. I may also run with Danny at his local big tire deal at LVMS.

Top Sportsman has been ruined in my area with IHRA going bracket Racing only. Getting a car capible of qualifying for a NHRA race plus travel expenses for the little payout makes it a dumb move. Big money bracket races is the future
1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27
Livin and lovin life one day at a time

Depends on what your goals are and where you live. I am fortunate enough to have the spring fling million in my backyard. After that it is a few hours away to hit another medium dollar bracket race. We had one in Salt Lake as well but this is the last year the track will be open. We don't have so many choices out west. Got to get in where you fit in. I have a car for big $$$ bracket racing already, the best tool and long skinny car. Not done chasing Wallys for me so TS it is. Aint for everyone for sure and doing it in a Mopar with Mopar power makes me extra extra stupid

Not sure what this year will bring for me...Started a new job and bought project house in December, so the first half of winter has been hectic. Not living in the house yet, so rent + mortgage is limiting my fun funds, plus I will have to equip my new "shop" once we move in.
While my personal season might be limited, I should be travelling to a few national events for work, supporting the dark side...haha
Faster, Faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death...

Got the new TTi headers in, took the fuel pressure gauge off the cowl and took the Raceway Park Eliminator Win stickers off the car and the ETown sticker off my H.Q.C.

I just picked up a smoking deal on a new in crate tall deck cnc bowtie block for 1k last week. So now I am putting together a 632" bbc to replace my puny 496" and 548" stuff for my challenger. I still need a powerglide. I will paint the car by june, probably black. Car should hit the track by september. HAha i know where you got that from . Can't believe how small this world is.

That was me. That shop had tons of killer vehicles in it and a bunch of nice guys. That javelin looks amazing. Somebody in phoenix got a deal on a used keith black hemi block n heads for 3500. Both ads were posted about the same time. It sold in about 2 hours, I had no chance at it.
