First pass was a 6.58 @ 102.5. The 60' was off more a tenth at 1.46. Second run went 6.57 @ 99 with a 1.45 60. The weather started to cool off a little and got a tail wind heading down the track. I posted a 6.56 and ran a 6.56 @ 101 mph. I made it to the the second round and the car spun hard off the line. Since mounting the wheelie bars the car has lost a tenth in the 60' and is more prone to spin as it never did it before. Being my first time at this track my RT's were not to bad but a couple were in the pink, just on the right lane though. In trials I ran a .509 in the left and a .489 in the right. Went .507 first round in the left lane and then went red in the right lane again with another .489. I took up some parts and sold a 8 3/4 a body rear, that money will go to pay some bills I hate to say. It was nice to get out and do some testing. I know the bars will have to come off for the car to 60' back into the 1.3x's. Alot of the people there liked the car, many had lots of questions and was suprised to see it run that well. It was a hot day, very sunny but seemed like there wasnt alot of people or cars there. I didnt care for the Mopar club guys holding the show. they seemed to be better then anyone else there. So It was a good day at the track, on the way home I got a text from my daughter saying happy fathers day, it made my day as we havnt seen or talked to each other in almost three years. Made me the happiest dad on earth ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif) ....Phill

Congrats. Always impressed with what your small block runs....For a car that reacts as quick as yours, I would take a few pounds out of the front tires when your that close on the lights....
Well most of the races I went to before were .400 pro tree. I would have left thinking it was till I seen the guys in front of me while I was in the burnout box.

They had three races going on that day, gassers were there, the regular program and the mopar club, I ran Heavy hitters, the mopar club class just for test and tunning reasons, it was 20. bucks and I got in 5 runs.

Phill, good seeing you again. Forgot how nice the car is, been a few yrs since I saw it, left after your 6.56 pass on 6.56. The turnout was horrible being on father's day and a rainout the week before. Never joined the local club for the reasons you mentioned. If you ever race there again let me know I live just a few miles away, Rick. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)
