Did the 68 Dart with the sb/BB power adder make a past today? Tune in @ 7 am this morning and watch it for a few hours til i hand to run a few errands. The maroon one? He did make a pass, 9 something if I remember correctly. I was at the track watching and everything seemed to blend together.

He has small twins under the front bumper with a small block. Not sure what size or heads though. I’m thinking he went 9.12 at Norwalk.

KSJ Is on the couch watching the live feed. He is a Mopar Guy though so if he was racing it would be his Challenger or Dart Does KSJ even have a car that can run 8’s in the 1/8th mile??? LOL! Just kidding Don. Was hoping you would come to the event again. I don't know why I thought that screen name went with that Mustang. Wasn't there someone on here that did have Fox body stuff as well?

Big wreck. Hope he's OK. I love that Javelin even though it's LS powered. Its good old Big Block Chevy Powered, terrible to see it crash either way. He has already had another Javelin offered to him by another drag week guy. They ended up with three wreck today, in rather short order. If I hadn't seen how thorough the US 131 crew was with prep and cleanup I would blame the track, but I don't think that is the case.

I talked to him afterwards, and he’s alright, and already coming up with a plan to fix the car. He’s a great guy. He was there with his kids. Not sure the cause of Jackie’s crash, but it happened right in front of her husband, that was running in the other lane. Someone local had an exact same year, and color Mustang, and already sold them the shell, for $500 to fix the car. They too are wonderful people. Hate to see things like that happen, but the most important thing was everyone walked away. It’s funny, the more you are a part of these events, the less brand loyalty matters. It’s one big family. Proof of that was at the award ceremony, and the Spirit of Drag Week was handed out. It was very fitting.

Watching the live feed it sure looked like a lot of smoke coming out of the right header by the back tire. It started smoking right before the back end came around. I hope he does fix it. That's a mean looking car. Watching the video 1320 has on YouTube it looks like he got out of the grove a little bit towards the wall on the left and the car made a hard right turn. They also said he told them when he braced for impact he accidentally hit the throttle.

Jackie said on facebook that it got loose in shutdown, didn't expand on it much more than that. After those incidents people sure were using the chutes more!

He definitely had it turned up!

That definitely happened to the Mid America Kustoms guys in their green new edge Mustang too. I guess they had a shot at getting 3rd overall and turned it up for their last pass at Martin, but it wheelied, then spit out a head gasket and you saw them dump water on the track in the feed. lol
