Hmmm. I guess I've had the worst year since I started racing IHRA Stock in 1999 with my Dart Sport. No wins, finished 5th in my division and didn't qualify for the IHRA World Finals/Tournament of Champions race. Variety of problems with the car all year and issues at home as well.

Highlight of the year was winning the SSSSA (Southern Stock/Super Stock Association championship here in Florida. Won 1 race out of a 6 race schedule but had to sit on the sidelines at the final event hoping the #2 guy would lose early and not pass me in points. Won one bracket race as well.

Did run a "best" with the car when I turned up the wick on one particular IHRA qualifying run:
1.470 60' - 4.425 330' - 6.982 @ 95.54 mph in the 1/8 mile.
3,540 lbs, .474" hyd. cam, 10.5 compression, footbraking.

Hoping things work out better in 2014 as I'm behind on preventive maintenance on everything. But on Dec. 31, I bought a car to run in NHRA Stock on a limited basis as well. Needs a lot of changes, tweaks & testing first. More info to follow as progress is made.
