I've been lucky over the years for the opportunity to meet lots of Moparts members at the track. I suck at remembering names and its even harder on a website like this were we don't post under our real names. How about a post with pictures of your race cars. Cars we never forget. Let's see them guys and girls. Post up your first name if you aren't the bashful type. Also any Winter upgrades if any are in the works yet. Me my engine is coming out so I can freshen it as it has three years on it. I would also like to upgrade my rear shocks on my black Duster as they are over 15 years old and I don't even know what brand they are. John

Winter = Hell. Snow before Christmas. South Carolina looks real good about this time every year.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I just saw on the news the Pittsburgh area has had 51 inches of liquid stuff so far this year. That’s a lot of missed racing and our local drag strips really took a hit. 14 of my races were in Ohio for long race weekends

I made it to the track 4 times this year. Rained out 3, got too dark for me the other time.

Well one car is retired until it get a complete overhaul/redo, but none of that will happen until the new car is finished. I'm at a standstill with the new car until spring now.

Here in Oklahoma we have had our first and possible last snow, you never know around here. Its going to be in the low 60s today so I will probably get the car out to knock the dust off of it and then put a little anti freeze in it. We need to find a little more power for drag week 2019 but not sure what the path is yet. First up is a leak down and compression test and maybe a cam change, not real sure yet. I will probably change rear gears from 4.10 to 3.73 also.

Here's Mine. 401" Gen 3 Hemi powered, 3290 lbs. Pic is from last weekend. Ran a Best Ever of 6.01 at 113.6, 1.26 60ft. Plans for winter is more weight removal, freshen the motor.
