We were there testing & tuning for the start of the anticipated "Street" class at Empire...and ran with the "Street" cars....A first for me. Even My Cuda, which is street legal, I run in the race car classes.....

Well, that old engine went a best of 9.70 in my Duster with Indy EZ1 heads and a car that weighed 2700 and a .680 cam.....We have been racing that damn engine since 2012...There are so many passes on it, its not even funny anymore.

So way less cam, 250lbs heavier, less heads, I figured a loss of 1second......Car went 10.72 last night at almost 126mph with mufflers and street tires! Car launched with a 1.50 60ft lifting the fronts up off the pavement...I never though the radials would hook, as I have never had a set that did....

Had a blast.....First run, I did a John Force burn out so bad, you couldn't see the new Challenger SRT in the other lane.....I know, your not supposed to do that, but the tires were old and I wanted some heat in them.

They were all in the lanes before hand talking BS with other street guys and that Challenger was a gorgeous car. I thought maybe its one of those that runs deep into the 11s or so, never seen it before and I was not sure what my car was going to do....When I treed him and left, he was so far back I was shocked...Would love to see the look on the guys face after the crusty Dart got to the finish like 3 seconds ahead of him....

Second run was against a Honda Acura with a bunch of Spanish speaking fellas talking $hit....And we out ran that little 16 second rev it to the moon time bomb...

Last run was against a fast Phord Mustang, and he got out on me and broke mid run and coasted to a stop.....Another 10.73 run but a little less 60ft with a 1.52....

I think we have a nice little street killer bracket car....
