I'm heading to the right lane, unless forced. Criz's land yacht sounded good on the 1320 pull.
it sure did!
Ted needs some help in the suspension department. Car hooked hard right at the hit both passes.

That's not good to hear.... In the past it's always seemed top notch. Only issue I ran into was years ago when they ran saturday night races at the dirt oval. The wind would blow dust on the top end. Made it slick enough to where even my junk would start flickering the shift light as the tires fought for traction.

There seemed to be alot of broken differentials this
weekend and we were one of them. stripped all the
teeth off the spider gears, time for a 35 spline spool
and axles at a minimum. 67 cuda stroked R3 block about
650 HP. Just means it's time to spend more $$$.
I got to visit with Al, Chris and Billy. Saw lots of the
guys on the board running their cars.

Tony, by chance are you running the heads I ported on yet? Just curious, I'd like to know how it runs.

Well two seperate times at the top of first gear my tires were spinning...That should not happen especially with a car that makes the power mine does. The semi final I tried my dardest to take out the wall at the 1000' mark when the car made a hard left turn, cost me the race as I had to lift being only a couple feet from the wall. In the semi's of Q16 three of the four cars did not get down the track, the only one that did was my opponent in a dragster. After the second semi when the AMX got crazy out of shape and almost hit the wall in the same lane I was in they decided to check the track. So draw your own conclusion. I should a few folks my RPM captures from a coupld of runs and we had some issues.
I was very dissapointed in the track to say the least. Can't say I was alone in those feelings. I am sure it was just the way my car is set up. We are not set up to run the car all out and it shows. I do it once a year at this event. I think this may be the last time I do however. If this is the way the track is gonna be then I am not interested. I know sometimes you have to race the track but just not interested in doing it at a once a year race. Although with the way the track was if I had the stop on it may have been uglier when I came off the stop. Oh well back to stop racing for me.
Someday maybe I will buy a converter and se what it can really do, three and a half seconds to gain 300 after the shift just dont cut it not to mention how slow it comes up off the line. To say it is tight is a bit of an understatement...

Both passes I saw Ted launch on were in the L lane. Car made an immediate right turn, the second worse than the first. Did note that most of the day when I checked in that the DA was around the 2400/2500 mark. That's pretty dang good air for Vegas  .
Yep that's what happened and I have to blame the track prep, cause the car does not usually do that, well maybe a tad, but not so badd I am looking at the tree when I launch. All in all I did have a good time hanging and shooting the breeze with all the MOPARTS members, I seen a bunch and they are all GREAT!!

Leigh, no worries. I assume you mean my last burnout in the Semis. Appears I have a line lock problem, showed up loading the car too. Just something to fix no big deal. I thought maybe I was in first gear when she would not move after the burnout. Car just would not roll after I eased up frm the line lock acting up. As for the track, hey. I was sitting under the tower to be the next pair of cars down the track when the snow began to fall  IMO it is a shame that the best part of this event in my mind, the drag race suffered as it did from issues. Hope the event continues but not this way....... Tom turns out there really was not an issue. We thought maybe a clogged bleed, which it sort of was with a piece of junk actually sitting on top of it.
