Anybody else going to race the end of Feb. Wondered what kind of combination was competitive in a Mopar in the heads up classes?

I was going to try and run the van in the 6.50 class.
I do hope it warms up a tad by then.

Same motor. Never thought after I ran at Bradenton that it would be over 5 years before I cranked it again I guess I'll find out how a couple of the valve springs liked being compressed that long. Put fresh gas in it and it didn't even turn over one time before it fired right up.

I have to slow down about five tenths to run the 6.50 index. I was shifting on time to slow me down but any type of timers are illegal. I'm going to try and use a RPM controller to shift. Haven't fully figured out how to use it yet. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Sounds like racers are coming from all over. Twenty thousand $ to win I guess got their attention.

I would definately try to be there if you can. I would, but the new baby is coming any day. Look for our stickers. They will be on a bunch of cars there. If you guys think of it, and have a camera handy, snap pics of cars with those stickers. I'll make it worthwhile.. Thanks and good luck. That van will be wild kicking butt down there..
