Just got off the phone with GearJammerDart, Donald Carter, he made it down to 8 cars at Pinks All Out at ZMAX Dragway. His 69 Dart is powered by a Hensley built 422", W2 combo with a Liberty 5 speed. The car ran consistant 9.90's all weekend and Donald did his job behind the wheel.

Hey guys, I'm working on getting some pics uploaded for you to see. We are still at our hotel and boy some of the things I can't wait to talk about and the stories to tell. It was truly awesome to see Doug make the field and watch him race 4 wide! They were pitted near us and were really great people.

Thanks Doug for your concerns about the my car as well. Always nice to meet such great people here on Moparts and then face to face at the track!

cool pic's, congrats guys. I just thought of something. can you imagine bracket racing all 4 cars against each other at the same time? that would be fun trying to judge the top end with cars coming up on both sides.

I can honestly say just from being there and watching it in the stands, it was a HUGE rush for us. And the excitement from the crowd was just AMAZING! But to race it, would be WOW! I can't wait to see the show when it airs!

BTW, did I mention that my sister and I got MAJOR camera time with the Pinks Crew. We went from a sister racing interview into a well, car broke interview later in the day. So but from talking to everyone we interviewed with, we are SURE to make the show if not both (All Out and Outtakes)...

I also want to add that it was really cool meeting some of the other Moparts members. We got the pleasure of pitting right next to Hemiparts, and then spent some time with RonP. All moparts members truly turn out to be such great people! So it was nice meeting you guys. Thanks for all your support as well.

Well, even though we had all the reports from last week that put doubt in everyones heads, the even was a blast because we all made it that way.

Chasity, it was a true pleasure meeting you and your family. I hate it that you broke, but we know you will be back strong.

I thought for sure I would make it once they started calling some of the cars I saw run in my time group, but I was a little too fast for the pick . The ET ended up being right at 9.90-10.20 according to one of the Pinks guys I talked to.

all in all it was a great time with some great folks. The temperatures were close to 90 and the heat in the pits and on the track was killer. Plenty of sun screen needed

Donald, I never got a chance to cath up with you, but awesome job running that dart. It looked and sounded great .

Thanks for the comments, I had a great time this weekend. First pass on Friday morning left at 5000rpms and it spun down track a ways and went a 9.96 at 133. Second pass car left good went 6.27@109 1/8th and 9.90@133 which is a new best!!! Saturday morning and Saturday evening sessions were within a few thou went 6.27@109 and 9.91@133 both passes! The car lays down at about 1100 feet, just too much gear for the 1/4 mile. I felt it was a honor to be picked. Never felt so tongue tied before in my life LOL. The four lane deal was really cool but being in the far lane it was hard to see Rich through the window net. The last round I ran a Malibu, I don't know if I left on him or not but after 5th I looked over and his nose was at the rear of my door, when my car laid over he came right around me.
I never had the car up on jack stands all weekend long and had the hood off only once. The Liberty was awesome as well.

All in all I had a great time and only have one regret, my children were unable to come out on the starting line because they didn't have a wrist band. This was more their dream than mine I guess, It was my daughter's 6th birthday on Fri and it would have been nice to have them there.

MSMOPAR340, it was very nice to meet you, sorry about the motor. Thanks for posting the pics.

Jesse was that your red duster? If so that is a beautiful car.

The guys with the red challenger also had a very nice car.

This was an experience that my family and I will never forget! I would recommend it to everyone

A big thanks to Chris(Beequik)for getting the car clean and helping me on the starting line. Also nice to see his dad and Doug again. BTW Chris and Doug will clean cars for food LOL

Donald,

I was right on the line, you pulled him by maybe 1/2 a fender and were out on him as far down as i could see down the track....he must have just had enough gear left over to "spray" by you in the lights.

Who wound up winning?

Great job!!

Congratulations to Donald for an excellent showing and let me tell you this was an awesome event!! It was long and hot yesterday but well worth it when they called Donald's car number. Here are a couple more pics(rare signature series)of yesterday. Donald won his four lane race and that was simply incredible. He was not one-at-A-timing, Donald was mass-eliminating!You really had to be there to see it but watching 4 cars launching and trying to see who was winning was unreal. Here are the pics I scanned...

Here is the 4 lane pic, cars launching wheels up! Donald is way down on the end,hanging the hoops!Made it down to the all out 8 and got squeeked out by the N20 car in the other lane. Donald did not win , but they all knew we were there!! Would have loved for Donald to have to shave his head,maybe next time.Raced 2 days and never had to blow the dust off the jack or the tools. Compared to any race last year this was a great success. 9.90's on the motor with the solenoids hanging off the carb waiting for wiring?Stay tuned for the next race report...
