How have found the transition? I know the frontal area is huge on the B bodies, but does it affect your stripe judgement compared to the A bodies. I just find everything so easy in the Dart, as I have raced these cars for 18 years now. I really wanna kick some butt this weekend in Verns car and would like any tips you may be able to give. My next ? is who wants to set the over under on how many rounds I will go on Saturday?

How many rounds you will win or how many you will participate in?

I say you will win 6 rounds per day. I hope more, but switching from car to car will take it's toll on you.

Don't think that front wheels are back from the front bumper more.. they are not. It will be a slow ride from what you are use to..

How much bigger is a coal barge as opposed to a bass boat???,,,that's the difference.

















Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

I LOVED racing my buddies 67 belvedere. the long front end could be fun if you had a beam tripper lol. Just roll up on people in the staging lanes and pick your spot on them like im sure you already do. I didn't find it any different. you will kick butt as usual.

Lonnie,
I asked the 8 ball and it replied:
"maybe, definately, probably not, sure,
yes and no."

as long as you have been racing i would not worry about anything, just go out and do your job, if you think too much about it your definatly going to mess up.i go from my b body to my avenger and driving the stripe is always the same no matter what car im in.

The coronet doesnt have a real long nose. The wheel to nose of the car distance will be very similar to your dart. Just drive it. Now if you were going to a long nose B body like a 71-74 Charger, then you would have some adjustment on driving the stripe.
