I am hoping to run some 10's with my car. We went 11.18@118mph with the J heads on the engine.

To get there I will be losing some weight out of the car. I have ditched the 5.13 gears in favor of some 3.55's. I also have the top end off of Brian's Duster.... If it doesn't run a 10, I am doing something wrong!

A little bit of a freshen up and go and finish what I started at Norwalk at the end of the CC event's season and turn that runner-up into a win, by hunting down a certain orange dakota truck and taking him out.

Finish the mini tub job and get a roll bar in the Dart. Run some 6.50s (1/8) after tuning and be as trouble free as the last six years.

1. daughter's 71 dart was suppose to get upgrade from 360 to 408 but with working out of town I have not been able to assemble engine. Car is painted, going to add bumble bee stripe on rear if that is an upgrade. Probably need a new set of slicks half way into season. She wants me to move the tach..since she is shorter then me...LOL

2. 69 Barracuda is not getting painted again, car needs new lexan in it also, so until i can get the windows changed out, no paint going on car. But car will be raced as is.

3. 71 Demon for second daughter has progressed, interior has been cleaned painted carpeted shifter seat and wired. Short block is assemble, eddy magnum heads going to machine shop in the next week or so. Still need to decide on rear gear rato and trans combo. Was hoping to have it running by now but that's life...besides she ran off with her boyfriend to Ohio...LOL

If the car does not sell soon, I will buy a set of belts and slicks and go to a couple races. I will go to the Pinks all out race in Crandall in March, and maybe a couple bracket races. It will be a very limited schedule, no racing for points.

Maybe pull off a new best at the tnt tomorrow and then slow it down to low 10's for brackets.

Get consistent on my reaction times and learn to drive the stripe.

Lighten up another 50 LBS. Off the car that is while keeping it all steel. If I lose any weight, I'd disappear into thin air.

I'd like to run at least .5 under the F/SA index and be competetive at all the Division 7 races I attend this year. A long shot would be to finish in the top 25 in the division points standings.

Have fun, have a good year with no breakage, be thankful for allowing me to still drive my car after all these years. Enjoy my friends and fellow racers.

My racing goals are just to get out and have some fun again, building motors and helping out other guys is fun and all but I really got into the technical/building side so I COULD GO OUT AND HAVE MORE FUN!! For the last (too many) years it's beem more about everybody except ME!!

I'm not a self-centered type at all...Lord forgive me if I get the chance to indulge a bit this year

From what I have seen and know of you, it appears that you deserve to get out and have some fun,,just go for it.

Are you talkin' to me?

Not sure I have any race GOALS for 2010. The last couple of years have been so hit-and-miss w/ even getting to the track that planning to race on a regular basis just ends up being a big disappointment.

What I'd LIKE to do is make some of the 75-80 Friday Night 6.50 Index "Nine Inch Nightmare" races, although my car's not runnning quite that quick in the 1/8th at this point. I'd also LIKE to run the RAM Racing N/A Series AMI Index events at Cecil County and MIR, since they're reasonable drives for me to make.

Plans for the car are pretty simple... if I haven't hurt the bottom end of the 452, fabricate a fresh-air pan, get the carb configuration dialed in, and probably some rocker ratio tests. If I can sqeeze another tenth or two out from it, that it'll put it that much closer to being able to run the 6.50 index competitively.

The other plan is to hold off on switching to the Victor heads on the 452 and, instead, use them w/ the new 448 build I'm doing. Unless the 452 is hurt and I don't have another option, I don't see the new engine going into the car this year.

BTW, Happy New Year to everyone!

Not changing much in the car just maintenence, took the car out of the trailer last week, fixed oil filter adapter leak, changed oil, sent spare converter to Ultimate for tuneup, new trans almost done, put trans in with that converter. Was going to put the 4.88s back in but looking at my records they weren`t any better in 60ft than the 4.56s in there now. GOALS: Qualify for the Bracket Finals again and don`t go red first round, Run a few NENDRA races, Maybe a few 11.50 or 12.00 index races, Race my truck at the Chryslers at Carlisle/Quarter Aces race and do better than R/U (08) or semis (09). I already sent the check to the track to pay for my parking space and points signup so I`m raring to go.
