Who's in at Road Kill at Woodward?

I'll be crewing for Dizuster. Test hits on no prep have looked promising last two nights. We'll see Friday.
Doug

Good luck!

I'll be there Doug but not in it

I'll be there but also not in it. Got axed after too much time lag for the registry to race my raddy Diplomat for fun.
See y'all there.

Ill be down there Doug around 5 im hoping to see dizuster make acouple passes.

I will be there watching probably around 4

Looks like I need a racing wristband to get into the lanes. Stuck outside the fence looking at the back of FMJ's head. Some heavy hitters here, including Bailey and his Camaro. Hope you guys ran well earlier

My buddy ran... sliding all over.. another of the
DW guys I know clipped the wall in his vet(Doc Fox)
and they said no prep.. but they were out there spraying
and draging the track

Goldstone and Bailey are pulling loads of timing off the line.
Sorry to hear about Doc, I was talking with him at the silverdome last year. Black Charger and stick shift blue post dart in the dodge final 4

I would have helped you get in Outlawd I did not know who was who in a sea of people.
I know there were/will be some quirks about how it can/will be run better next year, but I personally thought for the most part that it was a success and most had fun racing and catching up on their perfect tans in the staging street lanes. I had a blast with the Dzuster crew along with his brother, oohps, his father Doug. He's so young at heart.
I had a super tech,historical talk with Greg Charney with the blue post STICK Dart which ended in the finals.
Man, my street haunt days have never let me down when I picked the winners then and still do now. I saw his first pass and said, "That car will be in the final money run with a third pedal at that".
Solidifies my love and argument for a STICK VS AUTO.
That stick paired with a similar horse power auto would be hard to beat.

Had a great, great time and laugh fest at the starting line taking in history catch chat with Steve Magnante. We were loving the hole wars these cars were waging on each other.
Hope everyone had a quick exit as I did.

So who won it??? We ended up back south on Woodward...

Winner: Big tire but not tired Black 69' hair dryer Charger. It was a beast to say the least. Class bully if you ask me. $10,000

Runner up: Small tire, but fired up 68' Blue post Dart STICK NA small block W9 headed. $5,000

Cool! I know a guy etc..... His first pass was impressive as any. Thought I saw a clapped out Dippy parked - what color was yours?

That was me.
Clapped out weathered ice blue "Brooklyn Dodges" signature car. Gas monkey and Roadkill guys have copied my style LOL. Serious.
Car has been 200,000 miles across the states and all around NYC.
Runs like a topped clock and looks like visual pollution, perfect NYC street car.

So Greg Charney got in the finals... cool he is
a buddy of mine and we worked together

Dayum. Shoulda left a "message" on it LOL Will look for ya tomorrow in the circus. Will be in either a FC7 '71 GTX or a B5 '71 RR in tha AM. Once the rain starts my <wife's> phantom black '15 Charger RT. Mine still sits on stands cursing at me... Water's on me tomorrow Lee

Cool cat Greg is. Down to earth and willing to talk even in the heat out of the shade.
I did not know how much he has knowledge of and hands on experience till we hit it off.
Stories of Ted Spehar and such, priceless!

All I could offer were tired stories of some street grunts who run for big $$ back home. LOL.

P-body. You do know that Steve Magnante has a Rampage.

Shoozy.
Water might be on all of us if the rains of Africa come. Trying to play hooky from a business brunch in the late am.

Yeah Teddy built my very first engine

I heard he did
Charney stops by my place once in a while.. lives
right near me

I have priceless photos of Dzuster and DVW holding in their hands the light weight door strikers that I made out here. His crews only words were: "Ho-Lee chit man". LOL.
Purple pure stock challenger of Pauly ??? was spot on and deadly. I also made conversation with the surgeon general himself " 6-pac Bob K". Real cool aficionados to say it softly.

Throw an egg on his roof on a hot day. he might come over more often. LOL

Wow, Ted S. built your first mill?

That's like having the late Don Carlton teach me how to shift.

Heard stories of Ted's stashes at home.
I came to the party too late. At least the music is still playing.

So are you staying around for a couple of days..
I was gonna show up there today but decided to
pull my heads off the Rampage

Unfortunately, I might have to jet back to NYC on Sunday morning. If I stay extra maybe I can meet some D-boyz in their hoods.
I do come during the holidays in the Winter as well.

B3Racing had their small block turbo Duster there. It's kind of an olive green color.

I was down there for a couple hours last night and I have to say it was very well put together event. Im still abit disappointed that the Dodge brand doesnt honor other makes of chrysler products,but it is what it is. Maybe ill just have to build a dodge just for events like this. All and all i had a good time but honestly I was Jones ing to be out on the track......

I appreciate it, but no worries man. I was going to say whats up, but you were deep in convo with Steve M. I had a decent enough spot to see the starting line anyway.

I recall seeing the Blue dart up at the Chrysler museum show a few months back. R5 motor, yeah? Sounded healthy and was putting it work, just couldn't hold off the charger once he brought the power in.

Problem solver for other Chrysler brands to compete:
Built a Plymouth or a Chrysler using a Dodge engine. LOL.

In all seriousness, it narrows down to brand. Dodge being the last brand standing doesn't look good if even another sibling brand takes the prize.

I saw the green duster both at the Nats and yesterday. Some turbo cars could not get a good enough burnout because of creep forward issues at the line. Some slipped slid right into the big red eye. Some spooled up for too long on a long burn down and lagged or heated up and caught fire like one gents poor car.

All in all, it was a fun event and some of the D's fastest.

Had a great time seeing many friends. Saw some different machinery out there for sure. Our first run was a throw away. Trans brake didn't hold and it rolled the lights. That will happen when you forget to put it in 1st gear, whoops. We were at the head of the line for our 2nd pass when the train came through. After the gates raised they shut it down. 7:00 was there set time. Though as Jeff said nothing went on for well over an hour after that. Here were the two big issues I saw. #1 the event was supposed to start at noon. It wasn't even close 1:30? maybe. #2 there were many participants who felt they didn't have to wait for there turn and ran 3-4 passes. When I asked the worker at the head of staging I was told "don't worry about it". I asked two other officials still nothing. As competitors watching at the line started to realize what was happening the group got pretty vocal. Finally a guy came down in a golf cart and policed it. But it was two late. I would say over half the racers got one pass. A simple punch card would solve that issue. Over all it was a unique experience.
Doug

True that to what DVW attest.
I saw them bust the supposedly line jumping snake green viper. I also saw some other mopes jumping line. I was not sure if it was legit or re-run because of a tree foul up or something.
Next year should be more better tuned.
The line and the rest of the street may need just a little more prep. Though captain Kirk who was brought in from Norwalk did an excellent job of cleaning the fire spill on the line.

Congrats to Greg Charney on his R/U. Dart,4speed, w-9, radials.
Doug

11" Quick Time pros on the rear on American Halibrand wheels of which he said were about 26 lbs each. As you can see, we got into weight conversations. LOL.

Yep.. congrats to Charney... I would have expected
him to spin big time... he has some good power in
that W9

There were a lot of different kinds of eyes in the sky aside from Drones.
Like this flock of geese trying to make a pass along Woodward as well.

Another eye in the sky that rose the hairs on a lot of necks. B29 Bomber making a run. Can not down load the video for some reason including the final between the Dart and the Charger.

For some reason Paul's Pure stock Challenger did not make the finals. It was deadly out of the hole and very arrow straight to the finish.

Yeah this weekend is the air show also... lots
of stuff happening in the Detroit area this weekend

Here's DVW applying what seems to be a joke with the punch line waiting in the wings.
They were about to bare weightless witness to hand formed door strikers.
DVW's car is in the same ballpark weight wise. I don't know how he's doing it.

Punch line.
Here are the boys unwrapping the tissued door strikers. Note the smiles.
Confused frowns would indicate heavy.
Smiles would indicate feather light.

Came across this on instagram....

Here's Paul and his friend 6-pac Bob K on the left and the purple PS challenger taking center stage.

Sleeping on the job with a Bobcat.

Talk about Roadkill for sure.
