More proof DF likes Mopes, Can't wait to see how HRM shapes up after he's back in the saddle. Hopefully we'll see some more new event's to play in. My car, like some others are pink elephants that really don't fit into conventional race programs, so maybe hot rod will have some new stuff to shoot for. Maybe,,,,N/A E85 drags
here's the link

Nice job, Darren. I think anybody in their right mind would appreciate the detail and beauty of your elephant.
Great details and pics. I love the wire-routing..

Was thinking the same thing myself. The thing is absolutely beautiful. Congrats on the continued and ongoing press. Cant wait to see it in Vegas.

Hey thanks guys, I'm happy as can be in Washington, though I'm in Ga right now checking on my 70 challenger's progress. I've been on a 5 year wait list for a guy here in GA to do the body mods and work for my one day hemi street ride. He finally got to me, so I came down to start the blood loss.
I can't wait to see your Cuda too Al. Vegas should be fun. If they let me race it I'll be first round fodder.

Your car`s a work of art and the motor`s just one awesome piece of that bad a$$ puzzle.

Darren maybe we should line up against each other first round. That way we will both improve our odds of winning a round. Plus it would make a cool picture, as long as they dont show the end when you beat me

Well I have seen tech at Mopars at the Strip go both ways. From very tough to very lenient. From my perspective dont do the diaper for tech do it for your car and for yourself.
Would make a good picture with them side by side in the burnout box.

Yeah, I know I need one for safety, but it's tough with headers wrapped against the block. I've got a fuel pan that's like.132 thick that would contain a minor problem, but a big blowout would be a mess. I'm going to try to just get one on how ever it'll go, but I'm not too optimistic about the results.
How fast does your car run now Al?

I know when I had the Hemi in the Barracuda the headers were right against the block even with a tube chassis. We ended up having some of that flame proof sheet added to the sides. The header wrap stuff, only in sheet form. That seemed to solve the melting of the blanket issue for me. I know it is not easy to get a blanket on a stock type front end car.
My junk is still not working like I want it to. I blew oil all over from the puke tank on the last time out. Been having a ton of little issues, nothing big just trying to get the chassis happy with the new motor. Last Saturday I clicked it off a hair early somewhere after the 1000' mark and went 8.40. Still not happy with the 60'performance, might go back to the original converter I was using as these fancy new ones dont seem to work to well for me. I know there is more there just need to find it. These one pass days are getting old.

I know the feeling. I'll be limited to an 8.50, so I'll leave the nitrous converter in, and the high rear gear, and just kill it on the line. My car is 3440 pounds with me in it, and it just never 60's in line with the 1/4 times. I may put a shorter tire on it and see what happens, but I'm sure no matter what tech will draw the line at 8.50. I agree about the picture though, that'll be a nice'n!

Congrats on the article. The car is incredible, I can't wait to see it in person. How can it have 16.0:1, a tiny cam and only have 190psi cranking pressure? Cylinder volume?(huge)Cam timing?
As far as sub 8.50 tech goes, it depends on where you are and what event it is. I know at Mission they would catch up to you pretty quick. Some tracks in Washington can be pretty lax.
congrats
