With all the troubles I navigated last year, I'll just have to copy/paste my goals for '23!

Mine are up in the air...I did not get out much last year, but all is lining for a better time this year except for all the associated costs. But, If I keep at it, I should have 2 of my 3 rides ready to go. I intend to forgo some racing for cruise nights, and the other 2 hobbies I enjoy that tend to cost a little less.

I am about to order all the wiring & relay board to re-wire the Cuda, and then new 31x16 street tires...That right there is $2k, and I already bought nice Weld wheels...Might even upgrade the ignition box to somthing a bit more modern so I have more rev limiters.

I also have a spare Hemi I want to build a short block for this winter. Got a block & pistons, next will be crank and find someone that can put roller cam bearings in.

The Duster, has somthing up with it. It burned a ground wire off the head, and keeps draining the battery down hard when trying to start it. So that needs attention, but will wait till better weather.

The lawn ornament does not get a lot of love...We will see.

The trailer needs an upgrade or two as well, and that worries me the most. I bought it used last year, and already had to put 4 new tires on it, and a spare, plus it ate a wheel bearing and a brake shoe. Not sure what's going on with that.

All in all, everything is more pricey and I need moving money for the anticipated move south. As the date gets closer, some stuff might be available.

I'm planning on getting out my challenger stocker. It's been sitting for 2 yrs, 1 year to build a house, 1 year with back issues. Just finishing disassembling/cleaning/new o rings on the brake calipers and some new lines. And of course the yearly hone, rings, bearings. Hopefully pick up a tenth, at least not slow down.... Good luck to all racers.

Cool !!! Good Luck with it ! I am also a big fan of Stock and Super Stock!

Just trying to make a season for a change, I’ve wounded so much stuff in the last 2 seasons…ugh…

Wow, NICE Challenger...and with Holeshot Wheels(?) to boot. Looking forward to watching it online. No plans on this end besides selling out.

Thanks, yeah holeshot. I think I heard about them thru you actually. I talked to you at VMP years ago when I was just starting to build the car. I think you had your wagon project at that time ?

Myron - You've been doing this for a long time, so it's gotta come to an end sometime. I remember speaking w/ you at MIR when you were there for an IHRA National and that was probably 20+ years ago.

Yes, I still have it and my Dart, The Aspen project never got sorted out, even just bracket racing locally. Along with other factors, it was time to retire. But looking forward to keeping track of the Mopars out there. Good luck with the Challenger. My first car was a '72 and served me well bracket racing.

Yea, nothing lasts forever. I started IHRA in 1999. Budds Creek was one of my favorite tracks. Good friend Don Dimeler lives & raced there. I had a great streak going later on - Won nationals 3 years in a row and got RU the 4th due to a rookie mistake.
No more racing in MD but some consolation is that there's a Ledo's Pizza near me in FL now!
