Was raced by Art Hodges for a couple years after that then was sold and sat for years til I acquired it in 2014. We stripped the three paint jobs from its pro stock days car down to bare carbon and chassis. We also removed all the wiring from the car and started over. Been a long long road with only being able to work on it when I'm in Vegas. We moved to DC in the end of 2014 as well. So work has been slow to say the least. The car is now pretty much done and ready to go. We spent a lot of time dropping weight out of it where we could. It is all Carbon and has some titanium components on it as well. The engine has been another pain to say the least and it is apart again having the heads redone by Slawko and will have a new HRE intake built when the heads are done. The back to the dyno a quick look inside and back in the car. Hope to have it out by summer when we come back to Vegas permanently when the wife retires from the USAF..

Anyway here she is. I am sure the paint is a love it or hate it thing. My sons kind of came up with the design in a combined effort deal. Hopefully it will run ok, if I don't sell the Mopar power plant and jump ship. Anyway hope some like it. Sorry about the mess in the garage, I'm not home much and we seem to have a car in there all the time for chassis stuff smile








Love the paint. Cool car. What class will you be running it in?

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

This is my 410 with 744 icon flat tops,ported 974 iron heads and 508/292 purple shaft. Should be a nice power gain over my old set up. I hope to have it in and running by the end of the month, then debut it at ChryslerPower race in Columbus.

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

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.

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.

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.
