Congrats Bob!! You've been working hard, glad to see it's paying off now. I told you that thing would go 9s this year. CHIP

That is awsome Bob! I very happy that your getting it sorted out. Imagine what it would do with a trans brake?

I love posts like this. Congrats.

Congrats on the new best!

Im so happy for ya BoB

Congrats Bob. Sounds like you had a good time!!

Kool!!! I had a bad day myself; adjuster came loose and ate through a rocker arm, so I'll be bobbing for alum. chips this winter. Many other minor problems, but you are one of the people I thought of when it all was happening, so Congrats' and I guess it's just my turn in the barrel!

Excellent Bob! Some people when frustrated give up? Others get pissed off, and take on the challenge. I know which way you went, awesome!

8.81@158.56

That's a sharp lookin' Dart, Bob !

CONGRATS! that is the perfect day.... gotta love when they just keep picking up. had one of those days on friday myself. the new 500" has 8 runs on it and just picks up every pass. 10.20 @ 133. you put a brake in it and you'll be looking at the sky when it leaves!

Thats great ! Like I told you just look at it and tell it you will win !!

That`s great Bob..........If it was easy EVERYONE would be drag racing! Looks like your patience and persistence paid off.

Congrats,that is a great way to end the season.

Great news Bob!

Very Kool Bob... When can I drop the Duster off, maybe you can get me back in the 80s... I'm stuck at 10 flat.

That's cooking!
put that cam in straight up and some more racing gas in the tank. I see .60's maybe even a high 50's. the 1/8 mile mph shows that - stand back it will probably go skyward though

Thanks guys, yes I'm very glad I didn't give up or burn it down or drive it off a cliff. My wife just could not understand why I wanted to try one more time after such a miserable year, I told her if I didn't it would be one long grumpy winter.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I will be considering all of them this winter, I'd love a custom roller and E85 and a transbrake but money is tight so as DoubleD suggested I may just advance the cam and stuff like that.
I don't have a 9 second license but I want it to be able to run 10 flat in any kind of bad air.

Brian, that would be a great video, but I'd need a .5 head start.

Ron, I don't know if I've struck another good combo yet but it is finally running hard. I honestly think it could be quicker with smaller heads and intake and cam for the RPM range I'm running, but I am starting to be happy with it and it's all set up for nitrous if the desire ever rises, it has alum. rods, wider gapped rings, and o-ringed block with copper gaskets. I just don't have the coin to fill bottles and buy all the juice parts.

540Dart, I'm planning on less duration if all goes well this winter.

Butch thanks again for all your help yesterday. We can super tune your car next spring, it's as easy as opening the hood and the tool box simultaneously.

Dennis believe me when I hit the lottery it will have a stick!

Chip I was worried about not having that Super Sucker spacer yesterday but it appears that it likes the one inch open better, even though the air was better yesterday. That'll save me some money. LOL!

340B5, hang in there man!

Great to hear it! I knew you would get it sooner or later. Sorry we didn't get together this year. See you in the spring. Now I'll have to figure out how to make the Dartsport go faster to keep up with you.
